Mr. Cunha has experience in handling divorces for such individuals who seek to keep their divorce low-key and private.
In addition to his law degree, Mr. Cunha’s background in finance and business makes him a formidable force in the area of leveraging outside experts in forensic accounting and economics, as well as appraisals, to fairly classify property as marital or non-marital assets, and to reliably establish the value of marital assets for the purpose of equitable distribution in a Florida divorce. Determining what is and is not a marital asset requires knowledge of how and when the asset was acquired, and how it was treated throughout the marriage. These considerations are not trivial and require the expertise and experience of an able divorce and family law lawyer.

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.
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Mr Cunha, where he has consistently demonstrated exceptional legal acumen and professionalism. Mr Cunha has a profound understanding of the law , which has been instrumental in successfully navigating my complex case . He is a meticulous researcher, an excellent strategist. Thank you James for the amazing work and getting the excellent results in my case.
