About Fletcher & Phillips

Practicing Marital and Family Law since 2004

Fletcher & Phillips is a family law firm in Jacksonville, Florida, with over 35 years of experience in all aspects of Family Law. The attorneys are well-versed in Trial litigation as well as in negotiation and mediation for clients who seek to divorce or change the terms of a divorce through modification of custody, visitation, support or distribution of property in northern Florida.

As trial lawyers, Fletcher & Phillips attorneys take pride in their ability to successfully litigate to conclusion when settlement is not possible. From the initial conference onward they collect and study information with the purpose of preparing for trial. Litigation, however, should be a last resort, and they will make every effort to set the tone for successful negotiation.

Setting that tone, which minimizes strife and promotes cooperation, is the quality that distinguishes Fletcher & Phillips from other family law firms. They recognize and implement mediation as a viable and preferred alternative to litigation.

The attorneys work well together, bringing diverse perspectives and unique gifts to any case on which they collaborate. Together they have extensive experience and recognition in matters of Florida family law. Attorney Lyman T. Fletcher is Board Certified in Marital & Family Law, Fellow Emeritus with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and Florida Family Law Inns of Court, Master of the Bench. Attorney Michael R.

Master. That is the word that keeps coming into my mind. I've always loved watching people work in their craft and I admire the way Michael goes about his business methodically, calculated, professionally, and with purpose. Divorce is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, but now it's over, with a great outcome. My ex wife and I can now move forward and raise our two boys with nothing hanging over our heads. I was very comfortable going into the mediation knowing that if we had gone to court Michael would have won substantially. The opposing party was aware of this too. We saved a lot of money and heart ache on both sides by going through mediation and coming to an agreement in one full day. The office team was just as top notch. I would give an 11/10, and couldn't be more thankful that our paths have crossed. I already have a friend that has now retained Michael's, and after letting go of his previous lawyer, is already headed to a much better outcome. Like I said, MASTER.

I am amazed at the outcome and it surpassed my expectations. I would recommend Michael and his staff to anyone. In fact, I have, and my friend went from being on his back foot on his case to now being in control. I always felt important and I was always confident knowing that I was walking through a tough time equipped with an expert at his craft.

Michael Phillips is an excellent family law attorney. He was meticulously prepared and I had a successful result against my former husband who is an experienced trial lawyer. Michael was working for me and never stopped working. No backroom deals. Michael is wise, kind, and emotionally intelligent which made all the difference through this difficult process.

Wow, what can I say. Cheated on his wife with an A.A.attendee who now works with him. A total hypocrite and deusch bag. Know his wife who is actually a good person who got very hurt from his actions. He lost the mayoral race for Neptune Beach because the people smelled the hypocrisy from a mile away. He is a coward and likes to judge others without any evidence. Little does he know that he is a total deusch dressed in a suit. So if you want a lawyer that is in A.A and who has first hand experience with adultery and loose woman than this is the pick for you. However, if uou are going through real emotions without booze distracting your reality then I would choose a different option. Hypocrisy is a no go for me. This guy is a total scammer dressed in a cheap 90’s suit who acts like he has never done anything wrong. I know his family and can call him out over and over.
