I highly recommend Evan Kleiman for representation in a criminal case. He is courteous, efficient, professional and makes communication throughout the whole process very easy. He took the time to go over all my concerns literally any time I called. I felt immediately like I was a V.I.P. Most importantly, however, is the result and what it came to that I couldn't have been happier. He was able to ger my charges dismissed prior to the arraignment. He is diligent, professional and highly effective

I had the pleasure of working with Nichelle Womble, Esq for my son's adoption, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Her expertise and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. My family and I are so grateful for what she has done for us. Thank you Nichelle!

Ms. Blechman is extremely dedicated and professional. I hired her to represent me for a first offense DUI charge. She addressed all of my concerns and helped to put my mind at ease during every step of what was an otherwise difficult situation. I felt safe and well represented by Ms. Blechman.

Thanks to Ms. Blechman I was approved for Pre-Trial Diversion; the best possible outcome for this case. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of legal counseling, especially first offense.

1) Out of the dozen or so I called, he was the ONLY one who spent time listening and breaking down the scenario before even discussing a fee. He actually cared. He wanted to fight this unjust scenario.
2) My case was civil, but he approached it like it was criminal, and knew all the appropriate avenues to take.
3) He put on a clinic. I left happy and won.
4) He answered all my texts and calls in appropriate time. I'm sure I wasn't the easiest client, but he never once made me feel bad for my concern over my case.
5) I hope to never have to hire him again but if I had to, I would without question. 100%
6) He may use me as an offline reference as well. Thank you so much!

This was the first time in my life I have ever found myself on the wrong side of the law. Throughout this process he was knowledgeable and aided me in navigating my way through the darkest period of my life. My case was complicated, muddled in falsities and obfuscation. Chris was able to untangle it all and put forth a comprehensive approach that anticipated everything. At the time I did not fully appreciate the amount of time, effort and patience he had. I also learned after being incarcerated how broken the legal/corrections systems in Orange County truly are. I hesitate to elaborate more, suffice it to say he exceeded expectations and could have quit on me several times throughout the process. Do you want someone who shoots straight (don’t BS this guy EVER, he is one of the most intelligent people I know). Also, remember you’re (if incarcerated in Orange), you’re at 33rd, he’s in Winter Park. He’s a warrior. Call him. If you’re being flooded with a flurry of mail from lawyers it’s difficult to know what to do. Call him.

Back when John Middleton helped me there wasn't anyway to write "reviews" and when I ran across this I decided to do so. Without going into details of how when & where John Middleton was a blessing. He did what he said he would do and it was a benefit to me forever. I had occasion to have a need for other attorneys - in fact approximately 7 - in various other matters and of them John Middleton & 1 other did as they represented and no games, no nonsense and above all he represented ME and never cut deals for his benefit with the opposing side regardless. That is a huge "plus" to look for in any attorney.

Better than 5 stars. Mr. Buck's honesty easily puts him at the top of the lawyers I consulted with who either wanted their retainer without explaining what course of action they recommended and/or did not get a firm handle on my nuanced situation which a one size fits all action would not resolve. Mr. Buck asked a good number of questions that no other lawyer had before, recommending the best course of action....to do nothing at this time. If and when the time is right however, I will seek Mr. Buck's counsel again and most definitely hire him. It's about honesty and trust.

Navigating the aftermath of a work-related car accident was one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced, but Hoekstra Law Firm made the process manageable, and I am forever grateful for their incredible support. From the moment I connected with them, they treated me as more than just a case number—they saw me as a person with a story and a future. Jake Cable, in particular, was outstanding. He walked me through every step of this complicated journey, providing clear explanations and ensuring I understood each part of the process.
What really stood out to me was their dedication to finding the best resources for my recovery. They connected me to trusted doctors, legal experts, and the right people to address both my physical and professional challenges. After the accident, I had to transition out of my career and into a new field, which was overwhelming. Jake and Rob Hoekstra were there at every turn, providing personalized guidance and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Their communication was exceptional—they were always available to answer questions, explain complex details, and offer encouragement.
I was looking for a law firm that cared, one that would take the time to understand my unique situation and advocate for me. Hoekstra Law Firm went above and beyond my expectations. They truly embody what it means to provide personalized, compassionate service. While I wouldn’t wish what I went through on anyone, if you’re looking for a team that will stand by you, fight for you, and ensure you have what you need during a difficult time, I highly recommend them. Jake and Rob helped turn an incredibly challenging chapter of my life into one where I felt supported and hopeful for the future.

unfortunately, I was introduced to Atty. Amira D. Fox in response to some radical claims against me. Mrs. Fox walked me through every step, she spent the time to make sure I understood the matter at hand and frequently reassured me of an optimal outcome.
Not all attorneys are able to bring such professionalism AND compassion in the criminal defense discipline, and even fewer are able to achieve this, than Mrs. Fox
She is truly someone you want in your corner.

I was originaly with ms. rodgruise partner, Tanya Mayes. When ms. mayes was called to duty in our military, she gladly step into her shoes and took my case. She was remarkable and so good. I had a tuff case to reunify with my child and she worked magic with the courts, my son and myself. she kept me focused and gave moral support. everyone but the judge was against this union and it all came out a win situation with my son who now resides with me in my home full time and no longer with the court system. I lived out of state, so getting back and forth to florida was hard for me, but through her help, and courts, we made prior arrangements so my attendence went as ordered.
She has a para-legal named Patty who is a wonder in the office and keeps her looking good and her case load needing nothing except her voice in court. Together they make a fantastic team.
I have loved having her work for me in my best interest and always had only the best for my defense needed. Always prepared for court and ready to go for the win. I reccomend Ms. Rodrigues for all your needs and services. She will get the job done

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?
A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
- Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
- Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
- Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
- Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
- Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.
How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?
Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
- Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.
Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.
Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer
Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline. -
Will you personally handle my child’s case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court. -
What rights does my child have?
Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.
How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
- School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
- CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
