Palm Beach Divorce Lawyers

At the law office of John F. Schutz, P.L., we understand divorce and family law issues are emotional and sometimes daunting processes. Our firm is exceptionally skilled at minimizing conflict and helping clients make objective decisions to protect their families and financial futures.

Our legal strategy is sharp and calculated, with aggressive tactics used only at the most appropriate time and in the most effective manner to accomplish our clients’ goals. Too often, we have seen reckless aggression be counterproductive and add unnecessarily to a client’s legal fees.

Our team serves clients throughout Palm Beach County and the State of Florida. We invite you to get to know our principal family law attorney, John F. Schutz, who is Board Certified in Marital and Family Law, which signifies the highest level of competence and experience recognized by The Florida Bar.

His credentials also include a fellowship in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which also recognizes the highest standards of practice in this field.

Call us at (561) 677-2462 to schedule a confidential consultation with a West Palm Beach divorce attorney about your situation, or send a secure email on our contact form.

Collaborative Family Lawyers in Palm Beach County

Our firm practices Collaborative Law. Collaborative Practice eases the emotional strains of a breakup and protects the children’s best interests. Your lawyers negotiate in good faith and work together with you to achieve mutual settlements outside the courts. This approach not only reduces the emotional toll often associated with traditional divorce proceedings but also fosters a positive co-parenting environment post-divorce.

Collaborative divorce law is a non-binding alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process. Mr. Schutz is a  collaborative law lawyer and an International Academy of Collaborative Professionals member. Our dedication to this method underscores our commitment to achieving peaceful and fair family law resolutions tailored to the needs of all involved parties, steering clear from adversarial and costly courtroom battles.

The process begins with the spouses and their professionals (lawyers, accountants, mental health professionals, and others) signing a Participation Agreement. The Participation Agreement binds each person to the process of working together to reach an amicable resolution without litigation.

Any professionals hired by the spouses are compelled to withdraw from the representation of the spouses should the process fail and litigation ensue; thus, the professionals have a vested interest in the success of the process.

Need to know more about your situation and how our family lawyers can help? We urge you to contact us today: (561) 677-2462.

    "Knows exactly how to approach a case."
    Coming from someone who has never really had great experience with attorneys, John was above and beyond in court. He completely dominates his specialty, thinks of everything, is unbelievably well-versed in the law and knows exactly how to approach a case without getting caught up in the awful and uncomfortable details that make litigation so depraved. Since hiring him I never felt taken advantage of, or unsettled. I always felt that he had me best interest and used the law to express that. There is not one minute in court were I felt uneasy about his approach. He was brilliant, calm and had an extremely confident demeanor. I can't thank him enough for keeping my babies here with me in a custody/relocation case that had been really ugly and toxic for many years before hiring him. Today in court, John was my hero and my husband and I can sleep well, knowing he fought for us.

    "Mr. Schutz and his staff are communicative, sympathetic, and hard-working."
    Mr. Schutz is very knowledgeable about marital and family law. Mr. Schutz and his staff are communicative, sympathetic, and hard-working. I highly recommend Mr. Schutz should you ever need representation in a family law matter.

    "Amazing attorney with class and confidence."
    Amazing attorney with so much class and confidence in the courtroom. Brilliant in terms of the law. Couldn't be happier with how John F. Schutz, P.L. handled my case. Eternally grateful.

Mr. Schutz is a fast thinker, he's always well-prepared, appropriately confident, and knows how to present a case to get the results you're looking for! Hire this attorney without giving it a second thought!

    "I highly recommend John Schutz."
    Mr. Schutz represented me in a highly contentious case wherein my ex-wife falsely alleged child abuse and many other horrible things to gain advantage. She spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in hiring a team of attorneys, forensic accountants, HR Specialists, and real estate appraisers. It was a funny sight in court….just me and John versus their entire Army. Even more amusing was how he so brilliantly and efficiently undermined all of the opposing team’s positions. The CPA’s 401K valuation was thrown out, the vocational evaluator’s opinion was rejected, I got the house and equal timesharing with my child. My home controls where our child attends school. We won on all counts…. Alimony was unavoidable, though the amount she was awarded was significantly less in amount and duration than what she was demanding. If you have the means to ‘Invest in the Best,’ I highly recommend John Schutz.

    "Exceptional and professional service"
    John F. Schutz, P.L. is an exceptional firm with your best interests at heart. They are professional and motivated in helping you meet your needs in the courtroom!

    "Mr. Schutz is a true professional."
    Mr. John Schutz is an excellent lawyer. I live in Peru and was not able to get any timesharing with my kids who have lived in Florida for 8 years. Mr. Schutz took on my case and made my dream possible. My children visited me in Peru for the first time in 8 years and I will be able to spend Christmas with them too here in Peru. I will be forever grateful.

    "Genius divorce lawyer"

    John Schutz is a brilliant lawyer. Not only did Mr. Schutz do an excellent job cleaning up the mess from the previous lawyer, he in my estimation was key in me ultimately obtaining a very good outcome. I had a very contentious divorce and the opposing lawyer was very unprofessional and somewhat abusive. Mr. Schutz through his professionalism and excellent people skills was able to reign in the opposing attorney's unprofessional conduct. Mr. Schutz ran circles around the opposing attorney as he was always prepared and was quick on his feet. He is well worth the money in my opinion. Due to his skill and the ability to outclass the opposing attorney, a trial was avoided which ultimately would have been far more costly. Highly recommend.
