Traffic Citation

I had the bad luck of being involved in a bizarre minor traffic incident while on vacation in Orlando. I decided to fight the citation. It was important to me to have an attorney personally recommended. I was referred to Atty. Devoe by another atty. From the onset he was great. He advised the best ...way to proceed, explained my options , clarified my concerns and when I opted for a trial rather than then a written appeal he prepared me for the trial and for testifying. This was no small task given my anxiety and how complicated I perceived the case to be. Atty. Devoe responded quickly to my calls and questions. He was accessible, knowledgeable, understanding and concise. His fees were reasonable and his advice most likely saved me several thousands dollars as I assumed at the onset I would need to hire an investigator. Atty.Devoe represented me at trial, I was well prepared and ultimately the citation was dismissed. As an out of state resident it was incredibly stressful situation. Atty. Devoe took the time needed whenever I called to answer my questions and explain his recommendations. His manner was pleasant, honest and direct. I would recommended him to others in need of a good atty.

Great Family/Juvenile Attorney

Our family has had great difficulties with an ungovernable child that broke our family apart with false accusations of abuse causing more han 10 DCF investigations and more than 20 Baker Acts. Over 5 years, our family became bankrupt and divorced with the mental health professionals involved actual...ly suggesting that a family breakup would solve the problem. Well, our ungovernable child is now 16 and became worse than ever until we got Attorney Michael DeVoe involved to make the legal system work to help our family instead of blaming the parents. Attorney Michael got engaged quickly, compassionately and effectively using his expertise in the family/juvenile court and support system. If your family has problems like we did, call Attorney Michael DeVoe.

A Father's Right's

Michael, has probably handled tough cases in the past. Based on his knowledge, and the information he provided for my review; I had hope. Deep in my heart; that his guidance, advise, patience and most of all understanding. The divorce was the easy part. The tough side to the case involves my 2 daught...ers, very young, where their mother wants to relocate them from Central Florida to a major Midwest City. The chances of me ever seeing them again was probably; at best, slim to none. Michael's advice in my preparation for the trial was direct and to the point. My case was heard and the verdict rendered.. Fathers in the State of Florida have every right to help nurture, guide and rise their children. Michael led the fight and we won.. To the fathers out their, have hope, trust the advice, listen to Michael when he is speaking, because Michael is listening to you when you speak. Michael can and will find a way to fight for your rights. It's taken several months for the verdict, and I'm not denying its easy,, because it emotional, stressful, and it will give you gray hairs.. But hands down, Michael DeVoe will do a great job, he will continue to represent me in the future; if I need him as my daughters grow up here in Florida with me and their family. Thanks Mike.. you too are now a part of our family.

Couldn't be more thankful and happy :)

Mr. Devoe is excellent at what he does. He provided me with the best support I've ever seen in my life, and stuck by my side through everything and really impressed me with how professional he is with every aspect. I'm super happy with his services and I will refer him to anyone I know that needs leg...al help. Thanks so much for all your help Mr. Devoe! :)

Michael Devoe - Reliable, Trustworthy, Professional Service!

When you retain a lawyer to fight a case for you and you are not in court all the time, you may sometimes wonder well, are they really fighting for your cause... Well this has been my experience. Council Michael Devoe have had a traffic case to battle in court for me due to unpaid tolls that i had n...o knowledge of. And during the months he had the case i did wonder. However he was in constant communication with me, keeping me in the loop with the progress of the case, putting it in layman's term so i could understand it. But to my surprise on the day i had to be present in court i got to see Council Devoe in action. I can tell you i was VERY impressed. He handle my case very well got 2 tickets dismissed and the 3rd reduced. I was very appreciative, humbled and thankful for his services as at this time just returning to work after an injury i had no money. I walked away very happy with his service and will be recommending him to anyone that can use his service. You will not regret giving him your case, he will put the passion in fighting for your cause. He's courteous, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, passionate about the law and above all very professional. "This guy knows his stuff". So i Stacey A. recommend Council Michael Devoe if you should ever need his services. Thank you! Stacey A. Osceola County
