Mark A. Ossian Profile | Clearwater, FL Lawyer

I am Board Certified in Marital and Family Law by the Florida Bar. I am also a licensed CPA in the state of Florida. My practice has concentrated in Family Law for 36 plus years. I have received the Martindale-Hubbell 'AV' rating by my peers. I am a strong believer in the goal driven positive aspects of the collaborative divorce process, by which both parties to a divorce can achieve a successful resolution without the unnecessary harsh results that can occur through contested litigation.
