Ms. Thompson-McClary has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout her career.

The law has started to evolve on issues such as expanded time-sharing and how much money fathers are expected to pay for child support, assuming that they are engaging with the children on a more frequent basis. Just recently, there was a change to how the Child Support Office handles cases. They used to not deal with matters of time-sharing, but the legislature passed a law that automatically grants time-sharing at least of every other weekend to the non-custodial parent—which tends to be the father—regardless of whether or not they can pay child support.

With more than 30 years of experience dedicated to law, Ms. Thompson-McClary brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry, and, in particular, to her areas of specialization, family and personal injury law. When asked why she decided to pursue a career in law, Ms. Thompson-McClary recalled the impact of growing up under segregation in South Florida:
"I have dreamed of becoming a lawyer since the second grade because of what I saw. I still remember segregation, I remember going to the back of the bus, I remember going through the back door of the doctor’s office. But I also remember the people who fought for civil rights, people like Thurgood Marshall, Dr. Martin Luther King, Andrew Young, and many others. I was moved by their work, and I wanted to change the world just as they had. That’s what led me to become a lawyer; I wanted to defend the powerless and to right wrongs where ever I could."
As a thought-leader in her field, Ms. Thompson-McClary is uniquely positioned to follow prevailing trends in family law. In particular, she has recently seen the ascendance of co-parenting in custody cases. She notes:
"The biggest trend I’m seeing in family law right now relates to the rights of fathers and co-parenting. The law has started to evolve on issues such as expanded time-sharing and how much money fathers are expected to pay for child support, assuming that they are engaging with the children on a more frequent basis. Just recently, there was a change to how the Child Support Office handles cases. They used to not deal with matters of time-sharing, but the legislature passed a law that automatically grants time-sharing at least of every other weekend to the non-custodial parent—which tends to be the father—regardless of whether or not they can pay child support."
