Anastasia J. Mahone and Tina El Fadel
Family Law Attorneys
Tina El Fadel and Anastasia J. Mahone are power players within the legal community. They are both native Floridians and partners of Shamy, El Fadel, & Mahone, PLLC (SEM Law Group), formerly, K/S, Attorneys at Law, a well-established law firm serving Boca Raton and greater South Florida for almost two and a half decades.
While the lawyers of SEM Law Group practice several different areas of law. Tina El Fadel and Anastasia J. Mahone have not only shaped the family law division within the firm but have received numerous peer awards for their efforts in their field.
Practicing family law is the fulfillment of a dream for Anastasia J. Mahone, who started the firm’s family law division. Tina El Fadel, named Top 40 under 40 commercial litigator shifted her focus into family law in 2021. Together, they’ve built a vibrant family law practice borne upon their amazing successes. “This is our passion, we fight for families in Florida,” says Mahone.
Few areas of law practice can be as sensitive as family law, including divorce, paternity, relocation, child support, stepparent adoptions, guardian ad litem, parenting coordination among other issues.
“It’s about the innocent children. If a divorce isn’t handled appropriately and is contentious, it can shape the children for the rest of their lives. It is our duty to see that there is minimal negative impact on children,” says Mahone, who has become one of the most sought out Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) attorneys hired to ascertain the best interests of the child.
Divorce cases need not be adversarial, the parties could collaborate upon a parenting plan and division of assets agreeable to both parties, achievable through the assistance of legal counsel and neutral professionals. “We wish that more people knew about and participated in this process,” says El Fadel.
What keeps them awake at night are the cases where child safety is a concern. “We take steps to ensure they are safe, but situations are not always clear cut,” says Mahone.
What makes them stand out as lawyers? If you ask them, it’s not their peer award of Super Lawyers Rising Star, or Best Lawyers 2023 and 2024 to Mahone, or El Fadel as President Elect of the Craig S. Barnard Inns of Court, no, it’s far more personal and rewarding. It’s their unfaltering commitment and ability to craft individualized strategies tailored to their clients’ needs. It’s not just a career, it’s their passion. As Mahone puts it, “We’re empathetic. These families are not just cases. Tina and I take our cases home, we think about them. We listen to our clients and make sure they feel heard. We’re there for our clients every step of the way.”
