Paralegal, Kyndall Wilsnack, went beyond the Call of Duty in the handling of a probate case regarding my mother's estate. Kyndall was able to locate the legal documents necessary to proceed with the probate that I was unable to provide. She kept in contact with me on a regular basis, keeping me up to date on every step of the case.
From the beginning of the free consultation, with Cheryl Ward, to the final resolution of the probate, I was impressed with their compassion and professionalism! I thank God I found them. Thank you, Kyndall!

After having been ghosted by another attorney, with less than 3 days to find a new lawyer to represent me at a hearing, I reached out to Chris. He called me right away and offered to help me get out of a pinch. He listened thoroughly to complicated details and jumped in. He thoroughly researched details and laws and helped me understand them with patience. He was honest about the pros and cons about the case which was refreshing. I trusted him after a very bad experience with another unprofessional attorney. He was sensitive to financial limitations and is very reasonable with charges. Thank you for being a shining star Chris! I highly recommend you.

I highly recommend Cheryl Ward for representation. I had hired another attorney prior to finding Cheryl, who took a retainer and then said my guardian case was too difficult and could be messy. I found Cheryl and she said that's what she does and she definitely didn't disappoint. She is smart, knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and will always listen and respect the wishes of her client. Her team of Kyndall and Liz are so helpful and always respond promptly to questions, helping along the way. You do not need to look any further than Cheryl Ward for the very best for representation for your legal needs.

I had the pleasure of working with John Vernon Moore's law firm, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From the moment I reached out, the team made me feel like a priority, providing clear communication every step of the way. John Vernon Moore himself was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand the nuances of my case, offering sound advice and strategic guidance. The level of care and attention to detail they put into my case gave me confidence that I was in the best hands. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. Truly outstanding service and results!

Here's another story that shows why John Moore is the go-to car accident lawyer in Brevard County. After getting hit in Palm Bay, I was drowning in medical bills and getting nowhere with insurance companies. Then John stepped in and completely turned things around.
He's more than just a lawyer - he actually cares about his clients like we're family. He kept me in the loop, answered all my questions (even the silly ones), and his whole team was on point.
The guy knows about injury law, and wow - can he negotiate? It got me a settlement that was way better than I thought possible. If you're googling around for a car accident lawyer near Melbourne, Viera, or anywhere on the Space Coast, save yourself some time and call John.
I can't say enough good things about how he helped me through this whole mess. If you've been in a crash, don't wait - call his office. You'll be glad you did!

John Moore was precisely what I needed after my crash in Melbourne. I was lost at first - dealing with injuries, stress, and mounting bills. But from our first meeting, I knew I'd found the right attorney.
John handled everything - and I mean everything. He dealt with those annoying insurance companies, gathered all the evidence, and built a strong case. He was super detailed and dedicated. Because of his hard work, I got a settlement covering all my medical bills, missed work time, and some. The best part? He treated me like real people, not just another file on his desk.
Trust me on this for anyone around Palm Bay, Viera, or anywhere in the Space Coast area who needs a personal injury lawyer. John doesn't back down. He's got the experience and fights to hold people accountable when they mess up.
Don't try figuring out the legal stuff on your own after a crash - that's what I almost did, and I'm so glad I called John instead. He takes all that stress off your plate and fights for what you deserve.

They could not get my name on at a time of great need representing Morgan and Morgan I expected way more than just someone who could not get my name right could not get the names of my doctors or doctors assistance right could not get the orders right.
Leaving me to have multiple tripsps for the same things the.
I must say the are not on top of the game they are not for the people I am living suffering proof.
don't they understand the pain and suffering at the people are going through and they depend on these attorneys for help.
and then they can't get nobody's name right they can't answer any telephone calls when regards I was in the emergency room and they had the information required to save a lot more discomfort and radiation.
I just don't know what to do when I only understand the one language I believe I speak well,
and then ask for one thing help with my medical situation that is the first thing I asked for.
Who wants to be paralyzed who wants to be in constant pain
who wants to be promised that they will get the help they're asking for to find out they get nothing but a incompetent at best paralegal who cannot get my name right cause me Mr cook cannot tell Bernice from brunette.
When it's an emergency they forget about you at the emergency room while my family frantically is trying to contact them and given the experience line.
I honestly don't understand I was told this was a good attorney but yet I am seeing something totally different.
I specifically asked for Morgan & Morgan because I thought they had more medical resources which forgot to be the absolute opposite.
All medical help that I received with prior to and after Morgan & Morgan it took them over two weeks just to get the paperwork wrong and the name wrong.

I visited MA this past week on an employment matter. [Fees were clearly noted prior to the consult]
His questions were focused and correctly directed me to issues of which I was unaware, but now am.
He was warm, helpful, professional, courteous and direct. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
While my meeting was a consult, I expect to retain him as my issue unfolds.

I reached out to Maurice with an international employment issue where my company wasn't honoring their verbal contracts with me or providing me with legality in the country I was working in. Maurice truly Helped guide me through the process to get the best possible outcome and to understand the law as well as my ability within the legal framework. I wasn't able to get 100% of my rights but I was able to get a sizeable win with his coaching.

We were victims of hurricane Ian. Our property insurance was with Slide Insurance. Their initial field adjuster was terrific and agreed that the roof needed replacement and the lanai screens repaired. Slide then sent 2 other field adjusters out to refute original adjuster claims and said damage was caused by poor maintenance by us. Well, enter Mike who guided us to a successful claim allowing us to replace the roof and other needed repairs. He was professional, personable and knowledgeable about how insurance companies operate. A perfect lawyer to have on your side when dealing with insurance companies. Thank you Mike!

I searched a lot of real estate law firms and came across Easler Law. It's legitimate as I had checked so I went on its website to register an appointment with the fee required. Then I met Jennifer on the Zoom. She and her team Colleen have been so nice and patient in communicating with me and my brother through the whole process. They responded to our questions quickly and clearly. We were informed of every step ahead and guided through smoothly. They took care of everything. It's never been easier than this. We thank Easler Law especially Jennifer and Colleen for their wonderful and professional service. Of course, we will go to them whenever we need real estate legal service.

Had someone fraud me and I won in court. Was looking for him to help enforce judgement and collection. Felt confident after talking with and hiring him but then never heard from them again unless I constantly e-mailed. Never recovered anything. I think all they did was file one document with the county and send a letter to her job. He said he helped people file bankruptcy all the time and knew how to recover from them, but maybe he's just there to protect them. I don't know. Having a hard time trusting lawyers to handle my case after this.

This was my first time filing bankruptcy with simple consumer debt. Upon walking in, Mr. Faro first starts out with an interview to get an idea of where your money is now and what assets you may have. Honesty helps at this point since some people may think they do have valuables to actually find out at Auction they would not sell for much. So we studied the possessions, I have, and found out most would sell for far less than guessed. Mr. Faro also covered any other investments, businesses, stocks, etc. All of this is important to a case filing with the trustee who needs to know if you may have any assets which could either help pay the debts or not.
Then after the 1st meeting which happens on your first walk-in mentioned above, the attorney will usually start the document signing process and explain, in detail, what each page means. Ask any question, make any statement and be open-minded since Mr. Faro does an excellent job with compassion toward most walks of life.
After those 2 meetings listed above, there are 2 online exams, at least for me, to complete which are very simplistic. Just make sure to read it all before they give the quiz at the end of each exam. The first exam is about how you spend money on a monthly basis and understanding a budget so you can forecast the future of your finances. The second exam, which you can take later, is more about the basics of daily living and how often consumers need to pinch a penny or rather, learn conservative ethics about spending. The quiz has 2 trick questions with 8 other ones and it is all multiple choice. Upon completion, you will get 2 forms to print and safekeep. The first exam quiz is either win/lose based upon learning the information given. The second exam quiz, is graded between a score of 1-10 with ten being perfect. Just read all the information presented. It is also easier & faster to complete the 2 exams with a large tablet, laptop and best with a desktop. In addition, these exams can be taken within the first week of seeing Mr. Faro to expedite the process.
The bankruptcy procedures are mostly done over the internet from home or anywhere there is access. So make sure you know how to scan, download and email documents to the secretary. By doing this, the workload is reduced by half thereby drastically reducing pesky paper trails and getting your case done, FAST.
At this point, a trustee meeting is set which you must attend in court usually in Orlando or local in some cases. This part is usually quick and straightforward. Swear by oath, then answer the trustee's yes/no questions and listen carefully. Mr. Faro attends with the client in court. I waited in court for my turn to talk to the trustee, and was done in about 6-7 minutes.
The final part of bankruptcy is waiting for the Discharge Agreement to arrive in the mail. If you followed everything mentioned by Mr. Faro, all you do is wait a couple months for the document. Keep in mind, honesty, with Mr. Faro, about assets or anything of potential debt value to whomever you owe is essential to winning a bankruptcy.
--- My case is personalized. Any case could be different than said here. ---
Overall, for value, performance and reliability, Mr. Faro explained everything I could think of. He even reminds you of odd things, most may never have heard of. They work with you as long as you work with them - honesty, integrity & swiftness as the key. 10/10
