Paul J. Consbruck
Paul lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and has been a member of the Florida and

Maryland, and is licensed to practice before all Florida and Maryland Courts, the
U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals (11th Circuit), and the U.S.

He represents families who have adopted children overseas, helping them obtain
recognition of their foreign adoptions (and re-adoptions) in Florida. Knowing the
expenses incurred during the international adoption process, he offers his legal

certificates for their children, and will have certified copies of the Final Judgment
from a Florida Court (important documents for the future). He has also assisted
families who have adopted children from "disrupted" adoptions, and helps his
clients with will and estate planning as well.
Since September 2005 alone, he successfully represented more than 600 families
in Alachua, Bay, Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Clay, Columbia, Dade, Duval,
Escambia, Flagler, Hernando, Hillsborough, Indian River, Jackson, Lake, Lee, Leon,

other counties throughout the State of Florida.
