Modification and Counter Sued
I was referred to Mr. Mason by a friend that had used his services in the past. Mr. Mason represented me in a professional, friendly, honest manner in which he made sure that I understood the risks, potential outcomes etc. in the case. I was pleased to have been able to settle something so quickly that was unnecessary in the first place to have to do. Although I hope that I do not need additional legal counsel, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Mason again.

Demere and his staff successfully handled all my needs. He took the time to explain and outline the process and timeline for me in a manner that was simple to understand. It was clear to me that Demere had my total best interests in mind throughout the process.

Bingo!
Hiring Dems was a big win for my divorce and DV case. He really knows what he is doing and uses his past extensive case history's to guide you in probable outcomes. He kept me on track to finalize quickly saving me the cost of a trial and unneeded mental anguish. Hire him before your spouse does.

Great Lawyer for Divorce
Demere was great to work with throughout the entire process and his knowledge and experience in the Family Law realm was extensive and without it I certainly would not have had the favorable outcome that I was awarded. I would highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and experienced lawyer
I hired Mr. Mason ll to represent me in a custody modification. He made sure I understood any risks of potential outcomes, explained a strategy which he thoroughly executed, and was transparent about options I had, even if it wouldn’t benefit him. He was very knowledgeable and experienced with family law. This knowledge and experience was very beneficial during crucial times all throughout the case. His staff is professional and helpful.

Mr. Mason handled my case with compassion and logic. He fully explained the possible outcomes and what he expected to happen, which was dead on. Although I hope to never need his services again I would not hesitate to return to his office for any family law matters.

Excellent Counsel
Mr. Mason provided excellent counsel on my non-contested divorce. His recommendations helped us agree to our Parenting Plan without any frustrations from either party. He also provided knowledge to help me avoid an alimony request. I highly recommend J Demere Mason II to assist in your non-contested divorce. He and his team took a lot of stress out of a very stressful situation.

Professional and knowledgeable
Mr. Mason was recommended to me by a friend for help with a child support modification case. I was extremely pleased with the professional and knowledgeable legal counsel that he provided. Throughout the entire process I felt that he always ensured I was well informed of my rights and provided me with clear direction to help me make informed decisions. Ultimately, I believe I received the best representation and was able to end my case with the best possible outcome for myself and my children. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a skilled family law attorney.

Client
Dems is an amazing attorney. He guided me through a very difficult divorce. He stood by my side and gave me confidence when I had none. He cares about his clients, and has called personally to check in on my family after a difficult transition. I would recommend Dems to anyone and everyone.

Repeat client
Mr. Mason was referred to me by friends, I have retained him on 3 separate occasions now, each time he and Rachel have performed beyond my expectations. I trust him with information that is most important, I respect his knowledge of the law and his ability to work with other professionals without question. I hope I do not need to hire him again, but I would without hesitation.

Very knowledgeable attorney
I actually hired Taylor McQuaide from this law firm. I had mediation scheduled and just days before it Taylor had an unexpected/uncontrollable emergency at no fault of her own. The firm explained the situation and asked for my spouse and his attorney to reschedule mediation. But him and his attorney were very difficult about it and refused to reschedule mediation. J. Demere Mason stepped in at the last minute and attended the mediation with me. We were not able to come to an agreement at mediation and are heading for court next. But it was nice to be with an attorney's office where they worked as a team to ensure I had representation at a very difficult time. I am still not looking forward to court as I'm sure no one would be. I will be heading to court with Taylor as my attorney. But I am confident I have a lawyer's office who is going to represent me well.

So Glad I Trusted This Firm!
I was treated with respect, and made to feel at ease the moment I called to book a consultation. Demere and all members of this family firm really were my minor child's advocate. I was given proper legal advice, and it was applied as required. At the end of the day, all I requested with respect to my child was provided. This is a firm you can trust, and know you are not being taken advantage of. I am so grateful to them.

Extremely knowledgeable on all family-related issues
I hired Demere about a year and a half ago after moving to Florida from Georgia. My case was complex in that I had several steps that had to be done in order to achieve what I wanted which was to modify custody. My divorce was finalized in GA and I had to domesticate the case here so that custody could be modified given the long-distance involved. In addition, there was significant back child support owed that also had to be addressed. Demere listened to what I wanted and we ended up with a great settlement. I was impressed by the level of strategy that he implemented throughout the course of my litigation. Regardless of your specific issue, you can be rest assured he’ll fight for the best possible outcome .
