Experienced Guardian ad Litem Services by Attorney Amber L. Inman Across Florida

When a child’s legal claim results in a proposed settlement, Florida law requires special protection to ensure the child’s best interests are preserved. One of the most important safeguards is the appointment of a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) to independently review and evaluate the settlement.

Amber L. Inman, Esquire, is available to serve as Guardian ad Litem for minor settlements across Florida. Ms. Inman has been appointed by multiple courts, and brings years of experience in both litigation and probate/guardianship proceedings. She provides courts with the detailed, independent review necessary to approve settlements that impact children.

When Is a Guardian ad Litem Required?

Under Florida Statutes §744.3025, a Guardian ad Litem is often required when a settlement for a minor exceeds $15,000. In these cases, the GAL acts independently of the parents, attorneys, and insurers, and makes recommendations directly to the court regarding whether the settlement is in the best interest of the child.

As Guardian ad Litem, Ms. Inman carefully reviews every aspect of the settlement, including:

• Settlement agreements and proposed distributions.
• Attorney’s fees, costs, and any medical liens or expenses.
• The net recovery to the child and the method of payment (direct to parent/guardian or via restricted account, if applicable).
• Whether the settlement terms are fair, reasonable, and in the child’s best interest.

Following her review, Ms. Inman prepares and files a comprehensive written report with the court and personally appears at the settlement approval hearing to provide her recommendation.
