Matthew J. Militzok and his team represented my parents in a complex lawsuit that stretched over seven years, enduring courthouse shutdowns during COVID and constant opposition from the condominium association and its insurance company. The case was considered "unwinnable" by many. Despite this, Militzok's dedication, thorough research, and exceptional professionalism led to a victory beyond our expectations. Our issue began with severe leaks and mold infiltrating my parents' apartment, rendering it unlivable. Although we won an earlier lawsuit with another attorney, the condo failed to make repairs, and the problem worsened. The condominium argued they were no longer liable, but Militzok and Associates took on the case and navigated every dirty trick thrown at us by a team of defense lawyers trying to have the case dismissed. Thanks to Militzok's unyielding commitment and legal talent, we won a six-figure compensation that covered damages and legal fees. The condominium was finally held accountable and has since replaced the roof and fully restored the apartment from the ground up. Matthew J. Militzok and his team genuinely care about their clients and demonstrate an unmatched level of expertise and dedication. They fought hard for us and achieved what many thought was impossible. We are grateful beyond words and highly recommend them to anyone in need of an outstanding legal team.

For years I was fighting the HOA in my condo rental unit that was uninhabitable due to water emanating from upstairs. I hired a forensic building inspector, Mr. Jeff Hooper who wrote a comprehensive report that indicated the building problems. Yes, it did take years to resolve because it is a process that the HOA and insurance companies delay intentionally while denying there was a problem. When the defense attorneys inspected my condo unit Mr. Militzok was there to observe the process. Mr. Militzok won a sizable settlement which shocked me. I provided detailed communication with everybody involved that included face-to-face meetings, emails, telephone calls and pictures over time. The plaintiff must do their part as He said/she said does not stand up in court. Supporting documentation wins the case along with a knowledgeable attorney like Mr. Matthew Militzok. I provided the documentation and Mr. Militzok went to work. There was no need to constantly call Mr. Militzok and bug him as all comes together in due time. Most litigants call the attorney constantly wanting to know what's happening, this can be annoying for attorneys. This is the first time I sued an entity, but I knew annoying the attorney constantly is not the way to go. When any attorney has information, the attorney will contact the client with an update. I feel we worked well together. Yes, it did take a couple of years, but Mr. Militzok got the job done, well done. Litigants must have patience. The few times I spoke with Mr. Militzok he was available and ready to listen. I could not have asked for a better attorney! Thank you, Mr. Militzok and your associates/team.

Do not hire this lawyer, he is the worst I have ever seen. With all mold specialists reports that cost me thousands $ and doctors’reports of our illness, all required by Militzok, who started our case at requesting $300,000 in damages for us, ended up having our case dismissed after 7 years. The other party said they had paid a lot of money already, we still wonder to whom??? We never received anything. He is just a super disappointment all together and he thinks people are stupid and don’t see what happened. We know very well what happened. He had the case dismissed on getting back rent money, which was not the main request, the main request was for health damages and renting an unhealthy house with a mold rotting floor and a septic tank leaking under the house. No wonder why we were sick. The house had full of coliforms and mold under the floor and Matthew had all the specialists and City reports in his hands. He couldn’t win our case??? No , He did us no good and he is no good.

I signed a contract in may with Matthew Militzok. Hos assistant Emily was in charge of my case. She rately answered my e-mails and the times she did it took her almost two weeks. Communication was extremely hard. I tried calling the office but my messages were never returned. The property manager came to my apartment to inspect a leak and told ne that he did not receive any information from my lawyer. I had sent many e mails to be forward to the association and it was never sent. Recently, after five months, I was able to get a hold of Emily and stated my concern. The lawyer was scheduled to talk to me by Emily. Instead, just sent me a letter dropping my case. 5 months of my time completely wasted. I never dealt with a law firm so disorganized and unprofessional!!!

We had to hire another lawyer to fix their mess. They dropped the ball on a slam dunk case. We had multiple floods which were the HOA's responsibility. Matt's team failed to even read the documents we sent and couldn't do the simple math of accounting for our expenses. In the end, they dropped the ball and failed to include HVAC costs which is now a huge liability for us. When we asked that they fix the mess they created, Matt tried to send us a bill. We had to hire another lawyer to fix their mess.

I retained the services of Militzok & Associates more than 5 years ago due to a conflict with a cheap and vicious landlord. The property looked like it was up to code when I rented it, but all sorts of problems appeared eventually such as the landlord’s responsiveness to fixing leaks and covered up mold growth that led to health issues with huge out-of-network medical bills. I started experiencing wheezing, headaches, and flu-like symptoms every morning towards the end of 2015. A friend suggested that my apartment may have a slight musty smell, but I ignored her concerns until the stove malfunctioned on the day before Christmas and I was shocked after removing all appliances to reset it. The wall was all covered with the worst type of black mold. I ordered a mold inspection the following day, and after receiving the report I sent an overnight 7-day notice to cure to my landlord who ignored the remediation procedures suggested in the report. Research on mold and mold-related health issues is ongoing so you can’t go to any doctor or any personal injury attorney. There are very few doctors that are knowledgeable about the problem and most of them, unfortunately, don’t take insurance. After speaking to Matthew and Adi at the beginning of 2016, I knew that I was in the right place. They were kind, professional, and well-versed. After taking the details for my case, they explained the whole process. My uneducated landlord said that the mold issue was a big scam and never fixed the unit by following the proper mold remediation procedures. I started feeling so sick that I had to go to the ER in February 2016 and by the end of the month I was able to vacate the sick property. In a couple of days after moving out, I felt much better and the terrible flu-like feeling every morning was gone but I went through a lengthy, unpleasant, and expensive mold mycotoxins treatment. A day after I vacated the property, in retaliation, my vicious landlord filed a false removal of tenant case. Matthew warned him friendly and filed a counter lawsuit immediately. The case negotiations took more than 5 years due to my landlord’s unwillingness to settle but the law firm never dropped my case, and in the end, justice was served. After my initial research and personal experience, I can conclude that Militzok & Associates, The Mold Lawyers, is the only law firm in Broward County, and probably in the whole state of Florida that is knowledgeable about mold exposure and clearly explains it on their website. My suggestion to future clients: Be ready to prove your case with photographs, a mold inspection of the property, a urine mycotoxins test with Real Time Labs, doctor’s appointments, and keep track of medical bills. Militzok & Associates will hold your hand, and file your lawsuit, but you must prove your case first.

Matthew Militzok and his associates provided me with an excellent outcome for severe mold and water damage of my condominium from a neighbor upstairs. Not only did they have to fight the neighbor on my behalf, but also my condominium association. They worked as an excellent team by providing me with hard work, excellent legal advice, and professionalism. Besides being extremely competent, they were very supportive and caring. I can't say enough good things about everyone of their team.

I had debt collectors harassing me for over 5 years for a student loan debt that I never signed for. I finally decided to hire an attorney. Matthew was great! He got rid of it FAST and easy. He is very efficient and honest. Highly recommended.
