Jeannette Watkin

My love of family and the desire to protect the rights of clients and their children, drove me to pursue a career in Family Law. I understand how difficult it is to navigate through our legal system in search of a fair resolution, while dealing with very emotional issues at the same time. That understanding motivates me to give each and every one of my clients, and their families, my utmost attention and dedication. My practice is located in Aventura, Florida and I cover cases in the counties of Miami-Dade and Broward.

My Philosophy

I strive to provide each individual client with personalized and specialized attention to help them through a very difficult time of their lives. It is my desire for families to resolve issues in the fairest and best possible way; always keeping in mind the emotional detriments that unnecessary fights and litigation can have lengthy on all individuals involved.
