Experienced Family Law Representation for Elkton Families


Elkton is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County that sits along the SR-207 corridor west of St. Augustine. Once a quiet, predominantly rural area, Elkton has experienced significant residential growth in recent years as new construction developments have expanded into the Armstrong and CR-13 area. That mix of established rural properties and newer subdivisions has created a community in transition — and with that transition come family law matters that require an attorney who understands both the old Elkton and the new one.

Christine Leonard has been representing families throughout St. Johns County for years, and she understands the unique dynamics of the Elkton area. Whether a case involves dividing long-held family acreage or a recently purchased home in one of Elkton's growing neighborhoods, she brings the same aggressive, detail-oriented approach to every client. Elkton families are not a secondary consideration in her practice — they receive the same dedication, intensity, and personal attention as every other client she represents.

St. Johns County Courthouse — Seventh Judicial Circuit

All family law cases for Elkton residents are heard at the St. Johns County Courthouse, located at 4010 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine, FL 32084, within Florida's Seventh Judicial Circuit. Christine Leonard appears regularly before the family law judges at this courthouse and has deep familiarity with local court procedures, filing requirements, and judicial preferences. That working knowledge of the St. Johns County family division translates directly into strategic advantages for her Elkton clients.

Elkton residents should not have to settle for less when it comes to legal representation.

She personally handles every aspect of your case — every motion, every hearing, every negotiation, every trial. She is available seven days a week from 9 AM to 7 PM because family law emergencies do not respect office hours, and Elkton families deserve a lawyer who is accessible when they need her most.
