Minerva Vazquez was invaluable in helping us get through a very difficult time. After my father passed away it was stressful and emotionally taxing. We had to grieve his loss, arrange funeral services, sort through all legal and financial matters related to his retirement, insurance and estate.
Although my father was a dedicated, hard-working man he did not have a will or trust prepared. This created a level of anxiety and uneasiness for my mother and other members of the family. We were able to sort through all other financial matters except for the will and trust. It was important to my mom that a will and trust be created in case anything should happen to her.
With my home being in North Carolina and my Mom’s in Miami, Minerva and staff went above and beyond to communicate and schedule a time to meet with us to finalize the will and trust. They were very responsive and thorough.
Minerva walked us through the process and answered our questions no matter how trivial. Her experience and knowledge gave my mom and I a sense of peace and confidence that things were taken care of.
We would not hesitate to refer others to this firm. We will continue to retain their services for years to come.

Steven is an excellent attorney and takes the time and makes every effort to not only ensure the best possible outcome, but to also make sure that you are well informed and comfortable about the process. He spent more than ample time explaining the what our options are and what the next steps would be. He filed motions immediately and was proactive in my case. In my particular case it was Steven's attentiveness that ultimately "won" our case.

I am a realtor and I met Russell when one of my buyers used the Jacobs law firm for title insurance for their closing. They did a good job and when subsequently I took on a new client who needed extensive legal help I referred the Jacobs Group. This new client had a myriad of needs and Russell and his team were up to the challenge. The team came through on a very difficult file. Russell and his staff and smart, capable and dedicated.

RUSSELL JACOBS IS THE REAL ESTATE AND CONDO ASSOCIATION ATTORNEY IN SOUTH FLORIDA!!!
Whether you are BUYING OR SELLING REAL ESTATE of any kind, or you need a CONDO ASSOCIATION ATTORNEY, or you need an EXPERT to testify to the most complicated real estate issues, you HAVE to hire this attorney!
My law firm hired him as an expert to testify to a complicated real estate transaction, and because of his excellent, easily understood testimony and his professional demeanor with the judge, my client was able to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars that her ex-husband had tried to steal from her in a complicated real estate transaction.
In addition, my condo association hired him as their counsel and he has done an OUTSTANDING JOB of addressing and resolving our myriad problems quickly and professionally. He is a great people person, as well, and easily and professionally handles even the most difficult owners at our condo board meetings in a way that has them smiling by the end of the meeting.
He has a unique approach to representing condo associations in that he offers a flat fee for unlimited work --- and he means it! We really put him (and his excellent staff) through their paces the first year we hired him, and he exceeded our expectations in every way.
His experience and depth of knowledge is only exceeded by his exceptional people skills. His easygoing demeanor mixes very well with what is an obvious love for real estate, and his passion and dedication comes through in everything he does.
RUSSELL is often called upon to teach Florida real estate law to other attorneys and paralegals. He is highly respected by his peers, very much appreciated by his clients, and really goes the extra mile to make sure that everything he handles is successful and done correctly the first time. TITLE COMPANIES DO NOT go the extra mile to point out potential problems to the buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction --- but Russell does! And not only can he spot the problem, but he can fix it.
DO NOT BUY OR SELL REAL ESTATE IN FLORIDA WITHOUT HIRING RUSSELL JACOBS!

I hired David Kleinberg to represent my then minor daughter in a personal injury case involving a sustained brain injury. Words alone really can't portray my feelings about David. He was and is an amazing attorney and person. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and had our best interest at the forefront at ALL times. He is honest and very passionate, something I'm not sure is very common among attorneys. I would recommend him to anyone beyond a shadow of a doubt. If winning a case is a possibility---David is the one that can make it happen. I will be eternally grateful for what David has done for our family.

When I was looking for an attorney who would represent my husband in a medical malpractice case, David Kleinberg was the only attorney who wasn't looking for a quick and easy case to settle out of court. His attention to detail and his determination to prove the responsibility of long term care belong to the ones who had caused the medical malpractice proved outstanding. Without David, my husband's future medical care would have caused our family a devastating hardship.

Over the course of the last decade, JDLPA has been serving the needs of my organization in a series of financial and security transactions. The scope of work included security related opions, commercial litigation and real estate transactions.
The advantage of dealing with a smaller firm like JDLPA is the individual attention to each and every issue, and the flexibility of lawyers involved in the files.

Being one of many unfortunate people in the world unwittingly entered into the dismal world of litigation, I can tell you it is near the top of the most ugly experiences one can ever have. I never imagined that in addition to the trauma of dealing with the ugliness that life serves, that one could ever have the added grief of an already tragic situation compounded by hiring a lawyer who doesn’t have your best interests at heart and who fails to do what you’ve paid them vast amounts of money to do. Those of us who have experienced this horror are left wondering if justice even exists anymore. David Templer’s compassion, coupled with his brilliant knowledge of the law has given me hope in the midst of a very bleak and seemingly hopeless situation. This is an attorney that you can rest assured will take care of your legal needs and your only adversary will be the opponents in your case. I can tell you from unfortunate experience, you don’t get that with many attorneys. Mr. Templer pointed out to me in one sentence, in the clearest, simplest, and most concise language a strategy that several other attorneys I consulted with failed to inform me, though it should have been obvious. Mr. Templer was the light at the end of my long, dark tunnel, and I recommend him with 100%confidence!

David Templer recently represented me in a long & difficult car accident case. In the process, David Templer was nothing less than excellent, as he is caring, ethical, innovative, and brilliant.
His legal team is organized, caring and going above and beyond to resolve any problem arising.
Having never been involved in an accident I did not know where to start and often got very frustrated, David Templer was patient and took time to explain and prepared me for the battle, I highly recommend his firm.

Olivia has been nothing less than a top notch attorney for me. From our first sit down, she was notable for knowing the law and possible outcomes of my case, where my ex-wife emptied out our joint bank account. Even though the case was simple, she exceeded to go above and beyond in prepping the case, informing me of all that was happening , and keeping everyone accountable for their actions. We were able to settle in mediation, and she was fierce, on point, and knew of hand what documents would stick and which wouldn't. A great lawyer and person. Thank you!

Ms. Olivia Retenauer is an exceptional attorney! I had hired three lawyers prior to her and I must say that none compare to Olivia. She and Celina at The Rios Law Firm are top notch. Olivia recently handled my case which involved terminating my soon to be ex husbands parental rights. She maintained an open line of communication with me at all times and worked very efficiently. Both Olivia and Celina are very knowledgeable and unlike most attorneys, both were also very compassionate and listened to all of my concerns. Olivia exceeded my expectations by far and helped me attain the outcome that I desired (what was best for my child). I will definitely recommend Olivia and Celina to any friends and family should the need arise. Thank you Olivia and Celina for everything you've done. I am forever grateful.

I couldn't think of a better lawyer to handle any of my deals. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Very detail oriented. Gives you all the time you need and his fees are fair. And most importantly: He's got years of experience and has been involved in his own Real Estate transactions - so as a client, I feel like he handles my deals as his own. Which is a great feeling.

I sincerely recommend Mr. Dubin to others in need of competent real estate counsel.

He exceeded all of my expectations in handling my difficult case. He works really hard. He was attentive, compassionate and quick to resolve my concerns. He always answered my calls and emails. What I loved the most is that they were able to reduce my medical bills which gave me more money out of my settlement.

Ms. Mooneeram has helped me with a couple of traffic and immigration issues, both matters were dealt by Ms. Mooneeram with equal dedication, competence, diligence, efficiency, honesty and of course excellent results. I have met with several attorneys in my search for a lawyer that will uphold my interests first, and without any margin for doubt Karen has done so. She's extremely bright, and explains everything in a way that is simple to understand for everyone involved. I simply cannot recommend her enough. If you're looking for a great attorney, that is thorough in her work, and will move your case forward in an efficient manner, I would recommend Ms. Mooneeram, and her firm Mooneeram & Serres P.A., to everyone. When you retain them, they will undoubtedly help you while making sure that the nerves and the stress associated to any kind of legal dispute is simply gone. Amazing attorney, great law firm, she is highly recommended.

During my initial consultation with David, which concerned a very delicate and intricate legal matter, he allayed all my fears about going into a seemingly unwinnable court battle. He prepared me for what was ahead in a potentially long legal fight against a defendant with a staff of "high-powered" lawyers on his side. Clearly, my new lawyer took the time to do his research and stayed in constant communication (we never had to chase him down).
I didn't expect the extensive and intensive deposition preparation, yet I felt extremely confident after three meetings with his impressive team that I made the right choice hiring Vogel Law Firm. What a relief to have him in my corner. David devoted more than ample time to my case and carefully explained every potential outcome until I felt comfortable, and left me feeling like I was in extremely capable hands with his firm and his supportive and professional staff of caring paralegals and assistants.
Mr. Vogel is clearly devoted to his law practice, giving each client (my sister, and co-worker, too!) the time to explain our position - and with openness and candor. We never felt hurried, or like he was "watching the clock."
When the "other side" kept filing their ridiculous motions to try to force me to withdraw and just go away, I knew had the best lawyer in south Florida in my corner, at every court appearance with me or attending on my behalf, arguing back - usually with a more winnable position than theirs...ultimately securing for me a very successful (and surprisingly favorable) result, for which I will be eternally grateful. Thank you David, my go-to attorney, and my new friend!

I am not related to Mr Franklin, though I wish I were.
There are no words to describe how happy I am to have hired him.
He is tireless, knowledgeable, professional, honest and exemplary in every way.
I can say with all candor he is one of the finest professionals I’ve ever had the honor to work with.
I was desperate and dejected after receiving bad advice previously.
He literally turned things around, and it was not easy. Fighting against unethical and dishonest people is hard. He and I persevered due to his remarkable hard work and dedication .
I love him not only as a lawyer, but as a brother and friend. His team, Nicola, Samantha and Jessica, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We will never forget you!
