Her practice includes trial work in both federal and state courts as well as alternative dispute resolution forums such as arbitration proceedings.

Ms. Krimsky also serves as local counsel for many out-of-state law firms and companies with Florida matters, helping to address contract disputes, unfair and deceptive trade practice claims, fraud claims, bank disputes, technology-based claims (including social media and cryptocurrency) and real estate-related disputes by way of example.
Ms. Krimsky’s estate and probate litigation experience is based in Florida and she has addressed significant disputes at all stages of a potential claim for a variety of family members, including assessing claims at the start and litigating claims to resolution.
