Testimonials

Each case is unique, and the results in one case may not necessarily indicate that the same results will be achieved in another case. Several reviews can be viewed by visiting AVVO or Google.

Each client’s experience will be unique to him or her. When deciding to retain counsel, it is important to meet with the attorney to discuss your case. Since you will be working closely with the attorney, you will want to make sure your personality does not clash. An effective attorney will advise you on how the law applies to the facts of your case, regardless of whether the outcome is perceived as unfavorable. In other words, an effective attorney will attempt to help manage a client’s expectations and not paint an unrealistic picture. Given the nature of divorce and family law cases, there will always be the occasional individual who does not accept reality.

Our office has handled many family law and dissolution of marriage cases throughout Florida. Several cases are purposely filed in less populated counties in Florida (when both parties consent) to help reduce the chance of publicity. A majority of the cases are settled out of court. There are a few cases that do not even involve litigation, such as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Several prenuptial agreements include individuals who have a substantial net worth and are very well known. When it comes to high-profile cases involving celebrities, hedge fund managers, and CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, the most successful cases are those that are settled quietly prior to the parties filing their pleadings. A few of the aforementioned individuals continue to keep Mr. Cunha on an ongoing retainer after the dissolution of marriage proceedings to assist in preparing contracts, NDAs, Operating Agreements, Shareholders’ Agreements, Partnership Agreements, Asset Purchase Agreements, Stock Purchase Agreements, Co-Ops and reviewing the same.

I retained Mr. Cunha after being represented by another attorney for nearly a year and a half. After extensively researching and interviewing several attorneys, I concluded that his Mr. Cunha’s combination of education in finance, economics, and law—along with his many years of experience as both a prosecutor and practicing attorney—made him the ideal choice for my case.
Now, having been represented by Mr. Cunha for almost two years, I can confidently say that retaining him was one of the best decisions I made. He is strategic, meticulous, and exceptionally thorough in his work. His writing skills are outstanding, and he is consistently prompt in responding to emails and phone calls.
Mr. Cunha and his paralegal assistant, Ms. Sarah Randall (Opper), operate a highly effective and efficient boutique law practice. They are exceptionally organized and particularly skilled in managing financial disclosures, which are a critical component of any divorce proceeding. Throughout my case, they never missed a filing deadline and were always well-prepared for mediations and court hearings.
In addition, Mr. Cunha’s billing practices are fair and transparent. His professionalism, preparation, and attention to detail provided me with confidence and peace of mind throughout a very challenging process.
I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Cunha and Sarah for their outstanding representation and superior service. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated legal counsel.

Hiring Mr. Cunha and his office was the best decision I made during my divorce. Responsive, sharp, and strategic — calls and emails returned fast, every question answered in plain English, every move thought two steps ahead. Also worth mentioning… Mr. Cunha and his paralegal, Sarah, brought real compassion to a process that can, at times, feel overwhelming. I found Mr. Cunha to be a skilled advocate, to have a steady presence, and to be a whiz with numbers. I highly recommend Mr. Cunha and his office to anyone in need of a divorce attorney who is trustworthy and possesses the expertise.

Jim represented me in my divorce about ten years ago, and his steady guidance through that difficult process is something I will always be grateful for. So when I needed a prenuptial agreement more recently, I didn’t hesitate to retain him again. Given the companies I’ve established over the years, his sharp, astute command of financial and corporate matters made him the obvious choice. Across both engagements, Jim’s professionalism and dedication have left a lasting impression, and I continue to recommend him without reservation to friends and family in Florida who need a trusted attorney.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for my friend who introduced me to Mr. Cunha and his fantastic team! Knowing that my friend had already trusted them to complete his divorce a few years ago made my decision to hire them feel so much easier. During what could have been a challenging and overwhelming process, they made me feel supported every step of the way. It was clear that I was in the hands of true experts.

Their responsiveness and deep knowledge made a world of difference. No question was too small or insignificant; they took the time to ensure I understood everything. I was never left in the dark, and this gave me such peace of mind throughout my divorce.

I can’t thank Mr. Cunha and his office enough for their dedication and kindness. They turned a difficult time in my life into a smooth journey, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have them represent me!

I can certainly say that Dr. Cunha is one of the best lawyers in Florida. He made my divorce look like a walk in the park. Very communicative through both email, phone and zoom format. He excelled in my expectations and made me feel at easy during a very difficult time in my life. This would not had been possible without the support of his legal team. His assistant Sarah went above and beyond during my case. Kudos to all of you. My gratitude is all yours.
Thank you!

I have been engaged in the practice of family law matters for almost twenty years. I was recently waived in to the State of Florida to handle a complex custody matter and had the pleasure of working as co-counsel with James Cunha and his assistant Sarah. In addition to his knowledge of family law, I found that Mr. Cunha’s many years in civil law practice was a valuable asset in his formulation of trial preparation and strategy. Mr. Cunha is not only well-versed in the law, but approaches his cases with both a common-sense approach as well as an ability to “think outside the box” in situations that call for a more unique approach. He and his staff are extremely well-organized, filed all applications in a timely manner and were always available to answer both my questions as an out-of-state practitioner, as well as those of our mutual clients. With regard to his dealings with our clients, I was extremely impressed by Mr. Cunha’s ability to exercise patience during during times of high emotional stress for our clients, who were involved in a nasty custody dispute. Mr. Cunha was able to allay their concerns by explaining the legal process to them in simple, clear language and also demonstrate a level of empathy for the emotionally and financially draining experience that our clients were facing. The above qualities are, in my opinion, crucial to the proper handling of a complex family matter. I was also extremely impressed by Mr. CUNHAs assistant, Sarah. Sarah also demonstrated a very organized, empathetic and “hands on” approach with our clients, and worked carefully with Mr. Cunha to make sure that client phone calls and emails were promptly returned. Her knowledge of the family court process and dynamics of family law matters was extremely refreshing . I have and will continue to refer clients to The Law Offices of James Cunha with confidence.
