Jocelyn Chidsey, Esq.

Jocelyn Chidsey knows what it looks like when someone with power refuses to play fair. Before joining LS Carlson Law, she spent years in plaintiff's litigation—fighting for people in personal injury and commercial disputes who were up against better-resourced opponents. That work taught her something she brings to every HOA and COA case: how to dig in, stay sharp, and get results when the other side expects you to give up.

Now, Jocelyn focuses that same tenacity on representing homeowners in association disputes across Florida. She's seen how boards operate when they think no one's watching—and how quickly things change when a prepared attorney steps in.

A Palm Beach County native, Jocelyn earned her law degree cum laude from North Carolina Central School of Law, where she received the Book Award in Torts and held leadership roles in multiple legal organizations. Her judicial internships—including with the North Carolina Court of Appeals and a federal magistrate judge—gave her early exposure to property, contract, and administrative law, all of which inform her work today.

Outside the office, Jocelyn volunteers with the Animal Legal Defense Fund and has a history of pro bono service helping tenants navigate housing disputes.

She's licensed in both Florida and North Carolina and was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2023 and 2024.
