Someone facing a custody fight or a contested divorce in Florida usually arrives with two competing needs: a lawyer who can hold the line in court, and someone who can keep the whole thing from turning into a years-long war. The site behind Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney tries to cover both. The practice, run as TNL MIAMI CORPORATION (also operating as True North Law, P.A.), pairs litigation representation with mediation, and the lead attorney, Daniel Umbert, is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator. That dual footing is genuinely useful because plenty of family disputes settle better at a table than in front of a judge, and a firm that can do either has more room to read a case honestly.

Litigation paired with mediation services

Umbert took his law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 2014 and opened the practice the following year, giving Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney a roughly decade-long track record rather than a brand-new shingle. The site lays out a wide spread of practice areas with enough specificity to feel like real work product. Divorce, child custody and timesharing, child support, alimony, parenting plans, paternity, relocation disputes, and post-judgment modifications are all named. So are the harder edges: high-conflict parenting, domestic violence, grandparents' rights, termination of parental rights, and prenuptial agreements. Same-sex family law matters get their own mention, the sort of detail a prospective client in that situation actually scans for.

Practice areas and family law specialties

Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney does not pretend to be a small neighborhood office. The site states that representation and mediation are offered statewide, with sessions available in person or virtually, and it names clients in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando alongside other markets. For mediation in particular, the virtual option removes a real obstacle: parties who can barely sit in the same room sometimes settle far more readily over video, and a certified mediator who works that way can make that possible.

Statewide representation with virtual options

Services are offered in both English and Spanish, which in South Florida is close to a baseline expectation but still worth confirming before a first call. There is also a blog working through family law topics, which gives a sense of how the firm thinks about the issues rather than just listing them, and a separate page collecting the firm's profiles across third-party platforms. Contact access is clear: the phone number sits prominently on the page, and a web form handles intake for clients who prefer not to call. No public email is posted, which is common for a law office fielding sensitive custody and divorce inquiries. Between the visible number and the intake form, reaching someone at the practice takes one step, not a hunt through several pages.

How do clients reach the firm?

On Yelp, Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney carries a 4.8-star rating across 25 reviews, a consistently strong showing for a family practice where unhappy clients rarely stay quiet. Justia gives Daniel Umbert a 10 out of 10 rating, which the firm cites as a Justia award on its own pages. No Google, Trustpilot, or BBB tallies surfaced, so outside opinion rests largely on that Yelp result and the Justia mark. For a practice of this size, that is a believable picture, not an inflated one.

Client ratings on Yelp and Justia

A few things are worth naming so expectations stay realistic. The reviewed sample is modest, and a single mailing address in north Miami-Dade does the work of anchoring a firm that claims statewide reach, so a client in Jacksonville or Tampa should ask up front how much of the matter runs remotely versus in person. Mediation and litigation under one roof is a strength at Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney, but a prospective client should be clear which track they are actually buying at the outset. Neither point undercuts the offering. They just set the right frame going in.

From modest sample to realistic expectations

Weighed against a large statewide outfit like Cordell & Cordell, which markets heavily and runs many offices, Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney reads as the more personal, mediator-forward option, with one attorney's name and record squarely attached to the work. Anyone who wants a recognizable national brand with a nearby branch may lean the other way. What Miami Family Law, Child Support & Custody Attorney offers is a Florida-certified mediator who can also litigate, works in two languages, and brings a decade of focused family practice to the table. The published record backs that description well enough to make it worth pursuing.
