Dedicated Family Law Representation for Oceanway Families


Oceanway is one of North Jacksonville’s fastest-growing residential communities, and the hardworking families who call it home deserve fierce legal representation when facing divorce, custody disputes, or other family law challenges. Situated along the New Berlin Road and Heckscher Drive corridors in northern Duval County, Oceanway has transformed from a quiet rural area into a thriving community of new subdivisions, growing schools, and families putting down roots. Its proximity to Jacksonville International Airport, JAXPORT, and the warehousing and logistics centers along I-95 and I-295 means that many Oceanway residents work demanding schedules — shift work, overtime, and travel — that create unique challenges when family law matters arise.

Christine Leonard understands the realities that Oceanway families face. She has represented working families across the Jacksonville area for years, and she brings the same intensity and personal attention to every case regardless of its size or complexity. Whether you are a logistics professional at the port, an airline employee at JIA, or a small business owner along Main Street North, Christine will fight for your rights and your children’s future with everything she has.

  • Child support calculations for families with overtime-dependent, commission-based, or variable income

Christine Leonard Fights for Oceanway Families — Personally

Too many Oceanway residents have told Christine the same story: they hired a law firm, paid a retainer, and then were passed off to a paralegal who barely knew their name. That does not happen at Leonard Legal. Christine 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 she understands that family law emergencies do not conform to a nine-to-five schedule, and working families in Oceanway need an attorney who is accessible when they need her most.

If you are facing a divorce, custody dispute, or any family law matter in the Oceanway area of Jacksonville, do not settle for less than you deserve — in your attorney or in your outcome. Call Christine Leonard at (904) 392-4573 for a confidential consultation.
