I would like to thank Mr. Sermons for his valuable help, skill and performance in my case. Mr. Sermons took my case after I had been with another lawyer who instead of being my defender;he seemed that on the contrary because he worked against me. On top of having to prove that my ex-wife and her lawyer wanted to ruin my life with false arguments and impose unreasonable amounts of money on child support and eternal alimony for her, I had to face the unfair recommendation of the Magistrate on duty, (she didn’t take into consideration, not a single document and / or proof, that I present to her. She only took the word of my ex-wife and her lawyer) she imposed an exorbitant sum of money, which I neither working 24/7 would be able to cover it. Mr. Sermon was challenged to take my case just a month after the final hearing with the Judge, where I had almost nothing to grab, since the previous lawyer had ruined me by stopping doing the things He had to do in my defense and the few things he did, he was wrong.
Mr. Sermons took all the time to listen to me, and immersed in my case and thus be able to build his defense. He was very accessible at all times and all moments that I needed him, solving my questions effectively and also advising me in the most intelligent and wise way possible. He was always very clear with me, but above all, honest.
From the first day I talked with him, I felt that I was in the best hands, that although my problems continued, there was already someone who was going to fight for me;then, I was no longer alone. I felt that time, but today after all this is over, I can confirm that I was right! Mr. Sermons had the ability, skill, cunning, wisdom, intelligence to prove to the judge "the truth" and thus convince him that what had been committed to me was unfair! He worked very hard to proof the judge that he should reduce the alimony that had been imposed on me from $ 3000.00(three Thousand dollars) to $ 10.00(ten dollars)being real that my ex-wife has her own substantial income. And also, with respect to my child support, he also got me to pay a fair montly amount of money that I have to pay for my kids.
With all confidence and honesty, I absolutely recommend the services of Mr. Sermons since apart from being a very capable and intelligent human being, he has a vocation in his career and demonstrates it in his service that it is of “quality”. Thank you Mr Sermons for all his weighted help. I feel so satisfied and grateful to him that I have no problem leaving my personal email in case anyone doubts what I am writing and describing my lawyer. God bless you, Mr. Sermon and always keep it up helping those who need it by bringing to light the truth, enforcing justice by applying all its laws that you very well know.
I wish there was the option to put more than 5 stars to rate your good service.
Working with Mr. Sermons as my lawyer put my fears of the unknown at ease. He was trustworthy, honest with me from our first conversation, and never tried to sell me a dream. He was flexible with coordinating times to discuss the case. I valued all advice given, I trust him, and his ability to perform his job honorably. I was happy with the outcome of my case. His thoroughness, dedication, and attention to detail were amazing. Overall, I was well pleased with this attorney and would hire him again.
THE HANDLING OF EVERY CASE IS A TEAM EFFORT. THE ATTORNEY IS THE LEAD STRATEGIST AND ADVISOR, BUT THE CLIENT IS ALWAYS TREATED AS A VALUABLE AND INDISPENSABLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM. HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD REPRESENTATION WITH PASSION AND DEPENDANBILITY.

Absolute Excellence
I hired Marcus Sermons of Sermons Law a few months after my husband passed away. I needed help with a probate case. Not only was he sincerely sympathetic to the passing of my loved one, but Marcus was overly helpful with getting my issue resolved in a timely manner. I was involved in every step that was made and he always made sure I understood what was happening. I thoroughly appreciate his kindness and hard work during the most difficult time of my life. Thank you Marcus and Maria for making this process as easy as possible. God Bless you all at Sermons Law.

Probate Lawyer
Mr. Sermons was referred to me by my lawyer who had written my husband's and my will. My husband had passed away, and I had no idea what to do. He listened to me and my lack of knowledge. He explained very carefully what we needed to do, and he started the ball rolling the first day I talked to him. He has kept me in the loop every step of the way, and I am so grateful for his help and the way he kept me calm and informed. He has a very friendly and professional manner. I am so happy and grateful that he was my lawyer!

Extremely satisfied with the service of this practice
I was assigned this firm for a will update via my company's legal assistance benefit and had no prior experience or background with the firm. I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased with the service that Mr. Sermons personally provided. He initially spent considerable time with me on the phone and on the day of the signing he shuffled his calendar around to accommodate an extended discussion with my wife and I. He was able to quickly and knowledgeably arrive at creative solutions, and he and his staff were very pleasant and easy to work with. I have no reservations in highly recommending this practice.

Probate
I was referred to Sermons Law firm by another trusted attorney who did not handle probate cases. Within the first few minutes of our initial consult with Mr. Sermons, it was very clear that we had called the right law firm. Mr. Sermons was readily able to adequately address our concerns and questions with given sensitivities to our unique situation. Our case was resolved satisfyingly efficiently and handled with the utmost care. We are forever grateful!

Fantastic Law Firm
I am very pleased with the Sermons Law Firm. They were extremely professional, courteous and attentive to our legal
