Lawtey Family Law

Committed Family Law Representation for Lawtey Residents

---

Lawtey is a small town along US-301 in Bradford County, known to many travelers for its strict speed enforcement but known to its residents as a quiet, rural community with deep roots and strong family ties. Many Lawtey families have connections to the correctional facilities that are among the largest employers in the area, and the town's economy and daily life reflect the rhythms of shift work, state employment, and small-town living. When a marriage breaks down or a custody dispute erupts in a community this close-knit, the stakes feel even higher — and the need for experienced, aggressive legal representation becomes critical.

Christine Leonard provides that representation to Lawtey families. She does not treat Bradford County clients as secondary to her St. Augustine practice — she gives every case the same thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and personal attention regardless of where her clients reside. When you hire Christine, you get Christine — at every hearing, every mediation, and every trial.

Bradford County Courthouse — Eighth Judicial Circuit

Family law cases for Lawtey residents are heard at the Bradford County Courthouse, located at 945 N Temple Ave, Starke, FL 32091, within Florida's Eighth Judicial Circuit. Christine Leonard is familiar with the Bradford County court system, its filing requirements, and the expectations of the family law bench. That knowledge translates into efficient case management and strategic advantages for her clients.
