A Lawyer who Understands Business from the Inside

Before launching DJK Law PLLC, I spent over a decade as Vice President, Director of Operations, and In-House Counsel for a South Florida company with close to 100 employees.

That experience wasn’t about sitting in a law library or billing hours — it was about dealing with the real-world problems that business owners face every day: contracts that needed reviewing, disputes that had to be resolved, and legal risks that could’ve cost serious money if they weren’t handled quickly.

Working side-by-side with outside litigation counsel put me in the mix of legal battles, as I learned how to fight, how to win, and how to prevent small problems from turning into big ones.

Now, I take that same business-focused, practical approach to my own clients. My goal is simple:

  • Keep your legal costs predictable.

  • Explain things clearly — no jargon, no lectures.

  • Step in when you need an advocate, whether that’s drafting a contract, sending a demand letter, or guiding you through a dispute.

I know what it’s like to sit in the business owner’s chair. I know the pressure of making decisions that affect employees, clients, and the bottom line. And I bring that perspective to every client I serve.
