The U.S. News – Best Lawyers® recognizes the Aikin Family Law Group as one of the “Best Law Firms” in 2019 by ranking the Firm Metropolitan Tier 1 for Orlando in Family Law.
The methodology behind the U.S. News – Best Lawyers® selection process includes client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in the same field, and a review of any additional information provided by the law firms during the submission process. To be eligible for a ranking in a certain practice area and metro region, a law firm must have at least one attorney who is included in Best Lawyers® in that specific practice area and metro. More information on the methodology can be found on its website.
Additionally, Best Lawyers® announced that Wendy Aikin and Brenda London have been selected to its “2019 Best Lawyers in America” list for both Family Law and Collaborative Law-Family Law.
Born and raised in Connecticut, I am a “double Gator,” having received both my undergraduate and my law degree from the University of Florida. In my practice, I have worked as a Guardian ad Litem with hundreds of children in both dependency and custody cases, frequently appointed by judges. I have been honored to receive many awards and recognition's for my work as a children’s advocate. I received the Florida Bar President’s Pro Bono Service Award for 2017 for my Guardian ad Litem work, and also received the highest award given for Guardian ad Litem representation, the 2016 Judge J.C. “Jake” Stone Distinguished Service Award.
In August 2020, I was one of the first collaborative lawyers to receive accreditation by the Florida Academy of Collaborative Professionals (FACP), a designation I continue to hold today. I teach Collaborative Law as an Adjunct Law Professor at the Barry University School of Law, and serve as the Director of The Barry Collaborative Family Law Clinic. The Clinic represents modest income families with divorce and paternity through the Collaborative Process. I am a Collaborative Law trainer and speaker, and served as the Administrator and board member of The Collaborative Family Law Group of Florida from 2008-2018.
Whether working with clients in the conference room, by zoom, or in the court room, I am committed to empowering individuals and families to achieve healthier and more positive futures.
