Family Law Attorney in Ormond Beach, FL
Ormond Beach families deserve a lawyer who understands the stakes. Christine Leonard delivers tenacious, personal representation in divorce, custody, and every family law matter that shapes your future.
Committed Family Law Representation for Ormond Beach Residents
Ormond Beach occupies a distinctive place on Florida's Atlantic coast — a city defined by its scenic beauty, upscale residential character, and deep-rooted sense of community. From the oak-canopied streets of Tomoka Oaks and the gated estates of Halifax Plantation to the charming beachside bungalows of Ormond-by-the-Sea, this is a community where families build lasting lives. When those families face divorce or custody disputes, the legal, financial, and emotional consequences are profound. Christine Leonard of Leonard Legal, P.A. provides the aggressive yet thoughtful representation that Ormond Beach residents need to protect their interests and their children's well-being.
Unlike larger firms that assign cases to junior associates, Christine personally handles every Ormond Beach matter from the initial consultation through final resolution. She understands that a divorce along The Trails or a custody dispute involving a family in Halifax Plantation requires more than generic legal advice — it requires an attorney who appreciates the community, the property values, and the lifestyle that her clients have built.
Volusia County Courthouse — Seventh Judicial Circuit
Family law cases for Ormond Beach residents are filed at the Volusia County Courthouse, located at 101 N Alabama Ave, DeLand, FL 32724.

Her familiarity with the Volusia County family law division — its judges, its procedures, and its expectations — gives her clients a meaningful strategic advantage from the moment a case is filed.

Why Ormond Beach Families Choose Christine Leonard
Ormond Beach is a community that values quality and personal attention — and that is exactly what Christine Leonard delivers.
