Waldo Family Law

Aggressive Family Law Representation for Waldo Families

---

Waldo is a small town on US-301 in northeastern Alachua County that has long been a familiar landmark for anyone traveling between Jacksonville and Gainesville. Once widely known as a speed trap that caught countless motorists off guard, Waldo today is better recognized for the Waldo Flea Market — one of the largest outdoor markets in North Florida — and for its enduring rural character. The families who live in Waldo value their community's quiet pace of life, their affordable homes and properties, and the close-knit feel of a town where neighbors still look out for each other. When family law disputes disrupt that way of life, the consequences are felt deeply.

Christine Leonard provides Waldo families with experienced, aggressive representation in divorce, custody, alimony, and all family law matters. She personally handles every case — no hand-offs to junior staff, no paralegals running the show behind the scenes. When you hire Christine, you get Christine at every hearing, every negotiation, and every critical moment of your case.
