Your Tampa Family Law Firm
Firm attorney Kelly M. Albanese is certified as a specialist in marital and family law by the Florida Board of Legal Specialization, demonstrating she has proven her knowledge and experience in family law through passing a rigorous examination and obtaining additional training. A very small fraction of attorneys in Florida go through the process for board certification, ensuring Kelly’s dedication to the profession and providing the best representation for her clients. Along with other members of the team at Westchase Law P.A., Kelly represents clients going through high-conflict or high-asset divorce cases with a great deal at stake, be it considerable property and business interests or maintaining a meaningful ongoing parent-child relationship. Westchase Law P.A. is here for you through divorce mediation, marital settlement negotiations, or litigation in court, including appeals and post-divorce modifications.
Our comprehensive Tampa family law practice represents clients seeking or opposing domestic violence restraining orders, claiming or challenging paternity, supporting or opposing grandparent visitation, and negotiating, drafting, reviewing, challenging or enforcing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. We are a full-service family law firm that is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of Florida family law.
Sophisticated Representation in Business Law & Bankruptcy
The firm’s business law practice includes advice and representation in entity formation and business transactions, commercial litigation and bankruptcy.

Phillips is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in finance.

Zealous Representation in Florida Employment Law Matters
Westchase Law P.A. represents employees who are being unfairly taken advantage of in the workplace. Our employment law practice includes representing employees harmed by defamation, discrimination or wrongful termination, as well as helping employees injured on the job collect workers’ compensation benefits that are being unfairly delayed, denied, underpaid or prematurely terminated by employers and their workers’ comp insurance carriers.
Knowledgeable and Experienced Real Estate Law Representation
Firm founder and attorney C. Todd Marks is also the founder of Westchase Title, a full-service title agency performing residential and commercial closings and escrow services. Todd is an experienced commercial real estate lawyer who provides title services and helps with all legal matters related to residential and commercial real property purchases and sales.

Caring, Compassionate, and Aggressive Personal Injury Representation
If you’ve been hurt in a Tampa car or truck accident, Westchase Law P.A. can guide you through the insurance claims process and make sure you are being treated fairly. If your injuries are severe, we can represent you in a lawsuit against the at-fault negligent driver and help you recover compensation for the full range of your legal damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and more. Injury victims who don’t get legal representation don’t recover the full value of their claims. Westchase Law P.A. will ensure that you get the care and compensation you need and deserve.
Estate Planning Services That Meet Your Needs
Standardized forms and off-the-shelf estate planning kits don’t come close to accounting for your specific goals. We take the time to sit down with you and listen to your needs, advise you of your options, and draft the right set of wills and trusts to distribute your estate in the way you want it done. Our comprehensive estate planning services include drafting all necessary advance directives so that decisions regarding your healthcare, finances, and even end-of-life decisions will always be made the way you want, even if you aren’t able to make those decisions or communicate your desires during a health care crisis.
Westchase Law P.A. also helps estate administrators and executors with the complex tasks of probate and estate administration. When you have been left with this time-consuming and complicated role, or if you have questions about the way your loved one’s estate is being handled, we can get your questions answered and make sure the probate process is being handled appropriately.
