A divorced father himself, he understands, from both a personal and professional perspective, what it takes to have a "successful” divorce. While his practice is primarily in Central Florida, which encompasses Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia and Lake Counties, he handles cases nationwide.

Recognized as an innovator when it comes to the combination of family law and technology, he enjoys sharing his legal knowledge with others and frequently speaks at legal seminars and conferences.

Adam Sackrin

Adam R. Sackrin practices marital and family law. He is committed to the prompt resolution of family law issues through creative problem solving. He employs mediation, arbitration and collaborative law as alternatives to litigation whenever possible, lessening emotional and financial trauma for his clients.
Adam has experience guiding family members through many kinds of legal situations, from the amicable to the contentious and combative. Recognizing that these disputes are often more emotional because of the family relationships involved, Adam provides thoughtful advice and counsel during potentially traumatic times and is adept at using leverage to apply pressure — or get aggressive — when the case calls for it. Paying close attention to every detail, Adam believes it is easier to resolve a case on favorable terms when you are more prepared than the other side.

A product of the University of Miami School of Law, Adam received highest honors and the Book Award for his performance in Litigation Skills, which culminated in a trial before a real jury, and was a competing member of the Trial Team. He also served as a certified legal intern in the Miami-Dade Office of the Public Defender and advocated for victims and children as an intern with the felony domestic violence unit of the Broward County State Attorney’s Office. In his practice, he has extensive experience representing parties pursuing or defending Domestic Violence Injunction proceedings, often on short notice.

Focusing his practice on family law issues, Adam began his legal career in his hometown of Miami and has appeared in courts all over the state of Florida. The son of two board certified attorneys in South Florida, Adam has handled and resolved an array of cases involving family law litigation, probate and trust litigation, incapacity and guardianship litigation, domestic/sexual violence injunctions, landlord/tenant and commercial disputes, and real estate matters. He has extensive experience representing clients with diminished capacity and/or their family members. He brings his knowledge and skill in these related areas of the law to every client he assists.
