A Note From Our Founder.

Before I was a lawyer, a family law fellow, a husband, or a father I was once a kid who hated going to his father’s apartment every other weekend.  Going to my father’s apartment meant I would leave the comforts of my mother’s home to sharing a bed with my sister and catching the Metro bus all around DC and Maryland, because my father did not always a have a car.  I resented it, but my mother would never let me miss a visit, even if that meant I would go kicking and screaming.

Those and other experiences from my youth, shifted my focus from wanting to be a business lawyer to pursuing Family Law. In my second year of law school, I was sitting in class when my professor said: “ Family law attorneys advocate for what is best for the children, and what’s best is different for each family.” At that moment I knew I wanted to help families fight and achieve what is best.  I had a new found passion, which led to me becoming a family law fellow and serving as Law College Council President. 

After leaving the University of Florida, Levin College of Law, I returned to the Washington DC area.  While preparing for the bar exam I served as a substitute teacher. Before starting my own law practice I worked in state and local government contracts for a fortune 100 telecommunications company.  This was my second time working in the government space.  After finishing Florida A&M University, I worked on a policy committee for the Florida House of Representatives and later as a budget and policy analyst in the Executive Office of Governor Jeb Bush, managing over $1.1 billion in state and federal dollars for a statewide agency.

In 2013 I left the corporate environment to work as a solo practitioner, focusing on domestic litigation, personal injury matters, and business development and consulting.  Also, during this period I served as an adjunct professor at Howard University in Washington DC, teaching undergraduate courses in: Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Judicial Process, and National Government. 

In 2017, after a horrible set of domestic cases where I felt the court did not honor its obligation to rule in the best interest of the family, Biadvo was birthed. I’ve always had great sympathy for family law litigants, but I never fully had empathy until I became a husband and father.   In 2017 I asked myself would I pay a lawyer to shepherd me through the child custody and access process.  My response was resoundingly – no!  So I created Biadvo to assist parents who absolutely love their children, but need assistance to work through the co-parenting process.  

Because of the constraints and the adversarial nature of our Family Law system, I have helped more families with the Biadvo approach than through the litigation process. Biadvo empowers families to: #KeepTheBestInterest1st
