An honest Man & Professional Attorney & Firm

I have know Lester for 48 years in Jacksonville, Florida. Lester represented me in court years ago and was excellent an representative. I have referred several friends over the years to his firm. If you want to hire a firm with integrity and honesty then Lester Makofka is an excellent choice. Best... regards, Pastor Owen A Ward Sr.

Very Bad Representation

This Attorney threw my son under the bus he was told by the DA not to bring witnesses to testify in a juvenile court and if he did they will arrest my son and adjudicate him as an adult. My son was only 14 years old , we was never informed this by Attorney Lester Makafa...

Trustworthy and Fair

Lester worked with me to get me as my divorce attorney. Lester and Alex at Makofka Legal group in Jacksonville were fantastic. Going through a divorce or any life changing event is difficult. Lester and Alex made the process simple for me to understand and gave me clear, consistent legal counsel f...rom start to finish. I always felt that my case was important to the practice because they wanted to help me conclude the legal proceedings with the right outcome. They were responsive available and dependable.

Impressive all around!!!

Truly one of the most impressive deliveries of a case I have ever witnessed. Our case was handled with such care, and strategic planning, and professionalism. Lester's charisma and delivery in the courtroom is by far entertaining, and one of the most enjoyable processes in one of the toughest times o...n our lives. We got shuffled around from lawyer to lawyer throughout our case, and by the grace of God, ended up in his care. A truly wonderful experience, with a tremendous achievement in obtaining 50/50 timesharing custody, in a nasty modification for timeshare. He has been a blessing to our family!!

Thank you!

After a very daunting year of a relocation case and two attorneys that promised to help me (after loosing my job) I hesitantly came to Mr. Lester Makofka's office. I was afraid that another few thousand dollars would be thrown away but yet another attorney who promised to care but only cared about th...e money which was running dry. I hesitantly scheduled an appointment after being recommended by a friend (the others we also recommended by friends) and was scheduled to come in later that day. I can not begin to explain how caring this attorney is. From the very second that I walked into his office I felt like he took a genuine interest in my case and thats because he does. He has answered every single phone call I have made, has called me when I needed him even if that has cut into his personal time because he was in mediation or another hearing. He has the character that I wish other attorneys would model themselves after. Don't let his calm and laid back personality fool you he is incredibly intelligent and sharp in the court room - listen to his advice he knows what he's doing. I couldn't say enough about impressed I am.
