Jocelyn Chidsey, an Associate at the Boca Raton office of LS Carlson Law, is a dynamic legal professional with a rich background in civil litigation and is dedicated to zealously representing homeowners in Homeowners’ Association (HOA) and Condominium Association (COA) disputes.

As a Palm Beach County (Jupiter) native, Ms. Chidsey is proud to call Florida her home. Ms. Chidsey obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree, with honors, from Florida State University before her professional journey led her to North Carolina where she earned her Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from North Carolina Central School of Law. At NCCU, Ms. Chidsey earned placement on the Dean’s List, received the “Book Award” for Torts Law, and was a Board of Governors Scholarship recipient all three years. She also served as the President of the Animal Law Society, was inducted into Phi Delta Phi, an international legal honor society, and held a position as an Executive Board Member in the NCCU Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Law Review. Throughout her legal education, Ms. Chidsey also gained valuable practical experience though internships with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, North Carolina Court of Appeals, serving under the Honorable Lucy Inman, and the Honorable Joe Webster, Federal Magistrate Judge for the Middle District of North Carolina. These judicial internships provided her with exposure to a broad spectrum of area practices, including property, contracts, administrative and business law, all of which helped build Ms. Chidsey’s foundation to zealously advocate for homeowners’ rights today. Ms. Chidsey enjoyed serving her community as well, and volunteered for the Durham County Teen Court, Durham County Guardian ad litem program, and for Legal Aid’s “Lawyers on the Line” program, helping North Carolina’s citizens with landlord/tenant disputes.

Licensed to practice law in both North Carolina and Florida, Ms. Chidsey has focused her practice on plaintiff’s personal injury and commercial litigation, where she developed an “in the trenches” approach to helping clients navigate through challenging and emotionally charged issues to achieve successful resolution through both the pre-litigation and litigation processes. Since joining LS Carlson Law, Ms. Chidsey has brought her extensive and diverse legal experience to serve and effectively advocate for homeowners in HOA and COA disputes.

At present, Ms. Chidsey is a member of the Palm Beach County, Martin County, and South Palm Beach County Bar Associations as well as a member of the Florida Association of Women Lawyers and the Animal Legal Defense Fund, where she also does pro bono work. Ms. Chidsey was named one of Super Lawyers, ‘Rising Stars” for 2023-2024.
