"I know the law, so you don't have to.  Call me if you need answers.  I have 20 years of legal experience helping people just like you.  The law . . . it's what I do."

 

I attended Florida State University College of Law in 1995 where I was a member of Law Review and served as a judicial extern for the former Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. I graduated with Honors and obtained my Juris Doctor in 1998.

 

 I began my legal career as an associate at a statewide law firm; and, later, at an international law firm doing corporate and transactional work. I subsequently served as in-house Staff Attorney for a large private company and as in-house Corporate Counsel for its Fortune 500, publicly-traded parent company. I obtained valuable litigation experience at the State Attorney's Office where I worked as a trial attorney in the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida, which includes Orange County and Osceola County. I formed DeVoe Law Firm to provide quality family law, divorce, child support, custody, timesharing, and criminal defense legal services in Orlando, Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, and the surrounding areas.

 

I am a member of the Orange County Bar Association, including the Family Law Practice Division and the Criminal Law Practice Division.  I participate as a volunteer at Orange County Teen Court and have served as a guest lecturer at a local university in Orlando, Florida.

I couldn't ask for more.
Understanding, incredibly responsive, and best of all, effective and sound advice. advocacy, and overall representation. Unfortunately, too rare traits in attorneys. I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

Great Attorney!
If you need representation, hire this guy!! Mike represented me in a really difficult case and did an excellent job! The case was high stress and worry for me, but Mike guided me through the process like a champ! I can be a demanding/needy client, and Mike was prompt in his response. He doesn't sugar coat anything, and he's extremely knowledgeable in his field. I got nothing but love for the guy!! Thanks Mike for all your help!

HANDS DOWN, BEST ATTORNEY EVER!
Michael DaVoe is hands-down, the best attorney I could’ve ever found! His professionalism, compassion and genuine care are something you don’t find anymore. He was 110% devoted to reaching the best outcome for me in a very stressful time. He also charges much less than the average attorney because he knows how hard people work for what they have! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Michael DaVoe! Your search is over, he is the best there is!

Divorce
Mr Devoe had alot of patience with my case. There was so much information to go through as there were 3 other lawyers that had worked on my case prior to him and the case had been taking years to finish up. My case was also one that was transferred here from a different jurisdiction where it originally was filed. He really hung in there and had everything organized so well! He was an attorney that kept me up to date as well and i really appreciated that because there are many attorneys that will take your money and then they never stay in touch enough nor contact you personally or forward updates. He gave great advice on things that would make the case stronger also.

Divorce, Child Support
It’s was such a pleasure to work with Attorney Devoe during a very sensitive divorce with minor kids. He was always very detailed and clear when explaining the process and providing his professional advice. It was easy to communicate with him via phone and email. Attorney Devoe was prompt to follow up whenever I had additional questions. I highly recommend him because he provided excellent service from start to finish!

Top-of-his-Game professional!
Michael assisted me in a ridiculously complex and challenging divorce case resulting in a favorable outcome that could not have been achieved without his relentless commitment to perfectionistic detail. Quite simply, he just out performed opposing counsel in every event...which there were many. His research and work product is unrivaled and I cannot recommend him strongly enough. Aside from the purely legal perspective, Michael is just a great human being. His insight, advice and all around general guidance kept me focused relaxed. I slept well knowing I was in good hands.

Amazing lawyer!
I had a few other lawyers and was not super happy with how my family court case was going. I decided to go with DeVoe after my mother used him for her divorce. My case was more than complicated and Mr. Devoe handled it so well. He was very upfront and honest which was not something I’ve gotten from previous representation. I could tell that he worked very hard on my case. He was very thorough and diligent and because of that I believe is why he won my case. The judge seemed on the fence but Mr. DeVoe seemed to sway her in our favor with all of his outstanding work. I am more than thankful to Mr. Devoe for the way he handled my case and would highly recommend him.

Fantastic attorney
Mr. Devoe was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. From the beginning he was upfront about price estimated time and what to expect. I feel that if I did not hire him my case would've had a different outcome. Thanks again Mike!

Knowledgeable attorney
I met with Mike for an initial consultation for a matter that eventually settled privately between the parties. He was clear, crisp, and focused in our initial meeting and the advice was helpful. He seems to be a very knowledgeable, confident, and experienced attorney in this field, and I felt very comfortable with him. Had our matter not settled privately, I would have felt very comfortable hiring him to handle the matter. Recommend!
