Carolyn N. Budnik
Attorney at Law
A native of Florida, I bring 22 years of experience as an attorney to the table. A sampling of my clients includes financial institutions, private investors, small businesses, condominiums, and homeowners' associations, and individuals. I vigorously represent my clients across the real estate and commercial litigation spectrums.
Before becoming an attorney, I worked in many fields in Florida. I worked in the auto parts industry, the boating industry, and the equine industry to name a few. I finally realized I needed a set trade and set my mind on becoming a legal secretary/paralegal. I eventually attended law school at Nova Southeastern University at night, while working full time as a paralegal, and raising my family. I look back on those years now and wonder how I did it! As a resident of Florida my entire life, I have been fortunate to enjoy the many outdoor opportunities Florida has to offer. My first passion is my love for all things "horses," my second is for all things "Ocean/Everglades/Nature" and my third is for "motorcycles." I consider myself a home-grown Florida girl.
My rates are reasonable and can be tailored to your specific needs. Depending on the type of matter for which you need representation, I accept reasonable retainers, down payments and monthly payment plans. In addition to regular forms of payment, I accept most major credit cards.
I am licensed to practice law in all Florida state courts, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida; the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida; the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida; and the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida.
I look forward to serving your legal needs. Please feel free to contact me at carolyn@cbudlaw.com or give me a call at (352) 900-3793. Thank you.
