I have come to know Roland Boyd and Kathryn Collier as professional colleagues and I can say that both are very intelligent and great lawyers. When someone asks me about a family law question, I have no hesitation to recommend that they consult with Roland, Kathryn, and Pinellas Family Lawyer!
I greatly appreciate all that Kathryn and her top notch team did to complete a rather unusual issue for me that started a very long time ago. Kathryn has a cool head, is very knowledgeable, and has a great staff. Debby and Shana were both available almost immediately whenever I had questions, and they were extremely friendly and a delight to work with. I highly recommend Kathryn's services to anyone in need of legal representation, and intend to return to her for my future needs. Robyn Porter

I reached out to PFL for a legal name change, and Kathryn Collier represented me. She was absolutely amazing in seeing that my name change was done right, and not only that she saw to it that I got it done within a certain time line, due to getting married soon, and needing everything processed and done, in order to have all I need for a marriage license. Her team is the absolute best including Shana, and Debbie being there for me anytime I had a question about the process. Thank you PFL, and anyone that needs representation I highly recommend you see them!. Thank you! Craig Breezy
I've had the opportunity to work with this firm on several occasions, and I can say without reservation that they are a quality family law firm. The attorneys are knowledgeable, aggressive, and accessible to their clients.
Roland and Kathrine we’re both amazing I had no clue what I was doing with everything but they took the time to explain and help along this journey to be able to spend my time with my daughter thank you guys so much for everything
Response from the owner:Thank you! We're happy we could help such a great father & wish you and your family the best.
I'm still currently working with Kathryn Collier and from the very start she has gone above and beyond for my paternity case. Easy to talk to and very informative. I can garuntee from experience you will feel confident handling any issues with her by your side. If your like me and have never had to go to court for anything and are skeptical about anything you can definitely feel comfortable with Kathryn she has no problem breaking everything down and makes the process so easy. The only thing i regret is not getting in contact with her sooner. Iv also spoke to Mr.Boyd as well and he is just as informative and helpful as well. They are willing to help in any way they can and you can not go wrong with either one of them. Absolute relief letting them handle all the court matters. You can't go wrong choosing them to represent you!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words!
I’m amazed at Kathryn & Roland's insight in handling complex legal issues and grateful for their aggressive approach as well as always responding back yo me in a timely manner. I've worked with 2 family law firms before this one, they are by far the most ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorney's I've worked with to-date. They are professional, and very client service-focused. Their entire staff is amazing. If you're going through any family law issue, this is the firm to call. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Beyond being highly skilled and extremely knowledgable lawyer's Kathryn and Roland exhibit rare vesting in their clients that put you at ease about knowing that your case will be handled fully, professionally, and right the first time.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review. We've enjoyed working with you & hope we can continue to earn such praise.
Very professional and upfront with fees. I highly recommend as they handled my case from beginning to end and kept me updated on everything they were doing and the costs involved. If I ever need legal representation again I know where I will be calling.
Attorney Boyd is very talented & truly exceeded my expectations! I am very grateful for his expertise & service! I highly recommend him to anyone going through divorce!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. It's always rewarding to help someone during the difficult and often stressful process of divorce.

Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested Divorce Lawyers
Pinellas Family Lawyer helps families navigate uncontested divorce in Florida. A contested divorce can be lengthy, stressful, and contentious. The uncontested divorce process allows spouses to legally separate without the headache of having a formal trial in front of a judge. Spouses may not have any liabilities, assets, or children and need help filing their uncontested divorce paperwork. Other times, a husband or wife may choose to attempt settlement at mediation before filing for an uncontested divorce. Pinellas Family Lawyer can assist with uncontested divorce paperwork and offers representation throughout the process, including mediation, filing, and drafting your final divorce decree. Learn More
Contested Divorce
Contested Divorce Lawyers
Your divorce lawyer will prepare you for the road ahead after you are served with a petition for dissolution of marriage and work towards getting you a fair result, whether the dispute concerns the parenting plan, alimony, dividing assets, child support, holidays, or any other issue that may come up during a divorce.
Our divorce lawyers work to ensure you have the divorce information and family law resources needed to understand the divorce process. Your divorce lawyer will help you know what to expect before filing for divorce. A contested divorce can be a long process, and preparation is key in minimizing the length of your case and keeping costs down. Discuss your contested divorce case with one of our Florida divorce attorneys to help determine the best course of action in your contested divorce case. Learn More
Paternity and Visitation Rights
A paternity lawyer can assist fathers if their child’s mother will not allow them to have visitation or time-sharing with their son or daughter. Many people today choose not to get married but still have minor children together. A paternity lawyer can help fathers understand their rights in Florida and ensure that they are allowed appropriate time-sharing or visitation with their children.
Alternatively, a paternity lawyer can help defend a mother’s rights in situations where an unmarried father is attempting to re-enter a child’s life after a long period of absence, when spending more time with the other parent is not in the child’s best interest, or when the child may be unsafe in the dad’s custody.
If a father is unsure if the child is his biological son/daughter, our paternity lawyers can assist in getting a court-ordered paternity test. Once paternity is established, your paternity lawyer will help establish a custody arrangement that is in your child’s best interest, calculate child-support obligations, and determine whether retroactive child-support should be awarded. Learn More
Alimony and Child Support
Our divorce lawyers help resolve disputes regarding alimony or child support. Alimony in Florida can be difficult to determine. Some spouses are self-employed and may attempt to hide assets or show less income than they really earn. A Florida alimony lawyer can help ensure that income and assets are properly calculated and only the proper deductions are taken when calculating child support or alimony in Florida.
If you are owed unpaid alimony/spousal support or back child support, the divorce lawyers at Pinellas Family Lawyer can help you understand your rights and assist with child support enforcement to help you get the support you need. This may mean attaching a judgment to existing assets or garnishing the wages of your ex-husband/wife until alimony or child support arrearages have been paid in full. Learn More
Child Custody Disputes
Family law attorneys help resolve time-sharing, education, and other disputes regarding children of divorced or unmarried parents.
If parents are unmarried, a paternity action may be necessary to establish the father’s legal rights. Other times, issues may not have been considered when the initial divorce was filed. Sometimes, couples divorced for years disagree when one parent unilaterally withholds time-sharing, decides to relocate, or changes schools. When disputes arise between unmarried parents or after a divorce is final, our family law attorneys can assist with creating, modifying, or enforcing parenting plans and representing our clients in other family law issues. Learn More
Unlawful Detainer or Ejectment
Have you and your partner broken up or ended your relationship, but one party is refusing to leave your residence? Do you have an adult child that has overstayed their welcome and is refusing to leave your house?
An unlawful detainer action may be your best legal remedy to remove your unwanted houseguest whether it’s an ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, or family member. An unlawful detainer action may be appropriate so long as the person you are trying to have removed has no legal right to be there and is not on the title or deed.
Contact Pinellas Family Lawyer to discuss your legal options regarding unlawful detainer or ejectment. Learn More
Legal Name Change
Whether your name was recorded incorrectly on important legal documents like your birth certificate, baptism records, or social security card, or if you’ve just decided your current legal name doesn’t fit your identity, Pinellas Family Lawyer can assist with your legal name change.
