Deanne Maples

DeAnne Maples considers herself to be among the lucky. “I love what I do,” says Maples. “I work for the best people – beef farmers and ranchers. Cattle ranching is Florida’s oldest industry and I’m honored to play a role in sharing that story.”

Born and raised in New Smyrna Beach, Central Florida has always been home for DeAnne, and raising and showing cattle was a large part of her young life. She is a graduate of the University of Central Florida. Her passion for agriculture led her to the Florida Beef Council where she serves as a spokesperson for Florida’s 15,000 beef producers, and oversees the marketing and promotion of beef, on their behalf, through the management of the Beef Checko , a national producer-funded program established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill.

“Home to 1.6M head of cattle, some of America’s largest cattle ranches are in the sunshine state,” says Maples. “People always seem surprised when I say that, but it’s true. It is a long-standing tradition that began in 1521 when Spanish explorers brought the first cattle to North America and landed in what is now Florida. Those cattle, whose descendants still roam ranch lands across our state, marked the beginning of the cattle industry in the United States. And the beginning of the cowboy.”

DeAnne enjoys the ever-changing landscape of her office. Some days find her training chefs or educating physicians about beef’s nutrition, versatility, and sustainability, while other days are spent on ranches introducing new friends to the beauty of Florida’s open spaces where cattle freely graze, and wildlife co-exist.

DeAnne enjoys mentoring young people pursuing careers in agriculture and serves on the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom board. She is also a member of Florida CattleWomen. While she does enjoy her career and many volunteer activities, DeAnne’s favorite role is being a mother to her three cool kids – two sons and one daughter – who jokingly refer to their mom as the “beef queen.” “We all have a good laugh each time they say that, but I do hope my children will make a career out of something they enjoy just as I’ve been able to do,” says Maples. “It’s a great feeling to work at something you believe in.”

Family law matters can have an emotional, financial, and/or psychological impact on everyone involved, especially the children, as they navigate unfamiliar terrain in search of a new path forward.

Caryn M. Green, Florida Bar Board Certified Marital and Family Law Specialist, founded Green Family Law, P.A. (“GFL”) with an aim to serve as a voice of reason for her clients during an otherwise uncertain and unsettling period in their lives.

“We seek to secure the best possible outcome for clients while minimizing potentially negative e ects on families, especially the children,” Caryn states, acknowledging that litigation is sometimes necessary.

Family law matters require an extraordinary attention to detail, involve highly sensitive and delicate issues, and require a significant level of trust. With over two decades of experience handling divorce, paternity, time-sharing arrangements, prenuptial/postnuptial agreements, among other matters, clients are confident they receive the skillful, responsive representation required for meaningful resolution, whether through comprehensive settlement negotiations or complex litigation.

Caryn has been recognized by “Best Lawyers,” in Orlando Magazine since 2010, and National Advocates’ “Top 30 Lawyers in Matrimonial and Family Law.” Caryn was also designated as one of Florida Super Lawyers, “Top 50 Women,” and featured as an honoree of Florida Trend’s “Legal Elite,” list for the past eleven years.

“Helping clients regain a sense of optimism and hope for their future is the most rewarding aspect of my career,” says Caryn, further revealing that she is most proud to be of witness to the resiliency exhibited by her clients, as they experience highly contentious and tumultuous circumstances with positivity and grace.
