"My go-to for current relevant information about dependency law is the Florida Dependency Law Center newsletter and website. I use both to stay up on the law and best practices. I find useful articles, forms, and research for my cases on the website. It is a must for attorneys who practice in dependency court."

"The Florida Dependency Law Center (FDLC) continues to find new ways to provide support and helpful information. They seem to know what I need even before I know to ask for it. We are all busy, but I always take time to read their emails, follow the links to helpful articles, and sign up for their webinars. Thanks FDLC!"
