Alex Jordan Lavene
Alex Jordan Lavene is a dedicated attorney who graduated from Barry University School of Law in 2022. Despite being early in his legal career, Alex has accumulated extensive experience in family law, criminal defense, complex guardianships, and trust and estate issues. Known for his dedication to client service and meticulous attention to detail, Alex has successfully handled numerous trials and cases across these diverse practice areas. His commitment to excellence has earned him a reputation among judges, clients, and peers as a passionate and compassionate advocate, unafraid to be assertive when necessary.
A native of Orlando, Alex graduated from Winter Park High School before attending Florida State University, where he studied Science and Math. After graduation, he went to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center School of Dentistry but, after a year, recognized that dentistry did not fulfill his passion for engaging directly with people and making a meaningful impact in their lives. Alex then pursued a career in law, where his interpersonal skills and drive to help others could be fully realized. He discovered he could make a real difference in the lives of individuals and families, particularly in family and criminal law.
Alex joined Schwam-Wilcox & Associates in November 2023, and here, his talents have been a welcome addition, particularly his analytical skills, which are reinforced by his background in advanced mathematics and organic chemistry. Alex’s knowledge helps him create precise calculations and sound justifications for complex issues like equitable distribution, child support (ongoing and retroactive), and alimony, along with creative solutions involving lump-sum payments, business interests, retirement funds, and more.
Alex takes pride in his ability to connect with clients and address their concerns with understanding and patience. He ensures that every client feels heard and valued. His proactive approach keeps cases moving forward efficiently, regardless of any delays in the litigation process. Whether in or out of the courtroom, Alex is committed to delivering the highest standard of representation, with empathy and determination to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.
Since 2022, Alex has been an active member of the Orange County Bar Association and the Young Lawyers Association.
