Central Florida Child Custody Lawyer
At the law office of Rick Colegrove, I have more than 20 years of experience representing clients in a broad range of legal disputes. I am a native of Sanford and chose to return here to establish my practice. Because of my reputation for providing sound legal advice, honest answers and professional representation, most of my clients come to me as referrals from other lawyers or from former clients. Contact me to schedule a meeting to discuss your family law needs.

Family Law
As an experienced Sanford divorce lawyer, I represent clients at all stages of a divorce or family law dispute, from the initial filing to post-judgment requests for enforcement or modification. I handle all matters arising out of a divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support or alimony, and the equitable distribution of marital property. See my Divorce page for more information.
Additionally, I work with clients as they move through family law matters unrelated to divorce and child support. I handle estate planning matters such as the drafting of wills and trusts, and guiding an estate through probate. If you have questions regarding any issues that affect a family, do not hesitate to contact my office.
Criminal Defense
I defend clients throughout Sanford and the surrounding communities who have been charged with a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony. I handle all aspects of a criminal defense, from arrest to arraignment, from bail hearings to trial.
The specific types of criminal cases I handle include:
- Traffic offenses
- DUI/DWI
- Drug charges
- Possession
- Sale or trafficking
- Importation or smuggling
- Manufacturing
- Violent crimes
- Assault
- Battery
- Domestic violence
- Property crimes
- Larceny
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Fraud
Foreclosure Defense
I defend clients facing foreclosure of their homes. When individuals face economic trouble, it is easy for debt to quickly spiral out of control. Soon, they fear that they might lose their home. I can provide legal advice and representation to people trying to defend themselves against bank foreclosure.
