FANTASTIC
This is my first time in my life needing a lawyer of any kind! Scared to death, facing false accusations and the possibilities of me losing my children I was petrified and had NO IDEA what to do. I was referred to Rick by a close friend, first was my injunction hearing I needed taken care of immediately in order to still see my kids. He could have easily taken my money and the case (like most lawyers would) HOWEVER, unlike any lawyer I've ever heard of says to me " your criminal case we can take no problem, however with this Injunction its more family related and I know a family attorney that will be great for this case. He turned down thousands of dollars In order for me to be represented the best way possible for my kids! The lawyer he recommended was absolutely amazing as well and won my case! Rick always takes the time to answer my questions and lets me know what's going on with my case! I pray I never need another lawyer but IF I do or I know someone who does Rick will be the only one I ever recommend!

I was recently represented by the Canina Law Firm. As it is a family practice, I was represented by just that, the Family. They were extremely professional, informative, realistic with case outcomes, straightforward, kind, compassionate, and caring. I cannot say enough great things about this Law Firm. They spoke with me not just about my case but who I was as a person and what I was trying to do with my life. I believe by getting to know me a little better they were able to try my case in a way that got the best possible outcome. I was offered a plea by the DA right away. With the case info and everything they learned about me they went back and negotiated a better deal. In fact, it was the best possible deal I could have hoped for. I plan to never have the need for a lawyer again. However, if I do, I will retain the services of the Canina law firm. I recommend this law firm to anyone that wants lawyers to fight for them like you would fight for your own family. Finally, the Canina family law firm has a tremendous respect and devotion for Veterans. Speaking as a veteran, I cannot thank them enough for the services they provided which will allow for my return to military service, the compassion they have shown me, and the gratitude they have given me for my service and desires to return to service. Thank you again Canina family for all that you have done for me!

Stellar Law Firm
I had the wisdom to choose Canina Law Firm in Melbourne, an established law firm consisting of a father and his two children. The considerate time they spent with us to explore our matter and professionalism and knowledge of how things work in that matter brought complete success and we are extremely grateful for their diligence, attentiveness, and keeping us in the loop every step of the way.

Couldn’t be happier!
I found Mr. Canina originally when looking for a criminal defense lawyer on this very site. After reading some of his previous clients reviews, I was excited, yet skeptical. Sounded too good to be true. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t. From the beginning Mr Canina was honest, knowledgeable, and straightforward. All things which can be difficult to find in an attorney. The result of the case was quite literally the best case scenario, and my family and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you to everyone at the Canina law firm for your amazing work!

Best lawyer ever
Richard Canina, as well as his daughter and son, worked extremely hard on my case of a felony drug charge as a juvenile after being arrested just a few months prior of the new arrest. Mr. Canina got me the best possible outcome and I now have a chance to get my record clean. Cannot be any more thankful for what he has done.

Phenomenal
Richard and Rick Jr. represented me twice, concerning the same case, and both end results were excellent. Initially I was charged with two very serious felonies which, due to their efforts, were substantially dropped down to misdemeanors. They kept me out of prison and were able to attain mail in probation; a very light misdemeanor probation that prevented me from having to report directly to the probation officer. The second time they represented me it entailed alleged violations of probation consisting of the following; failure to notify probation of leaving the state, consumption of alcohol while on probation, possession of firearms while on probation, and failure to comply with random drug testing. THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. I was released at the arraignment hearing with no further probation, absolutely exhilarating. When you are questioning whether or not to go with this firm realize you will be receiving the following; two generations of exceptional lawyers, lawyers that take the extra steps needed to INDIVIDUALIZE your case in order to make a proper representation, of you, to the prosecutors and the judge, lawyers that pick up the phone to speak with you and console you in reference to your case, lawyers that have been in the business long enough to establish a solid network within the court system.

I hired Richard Canina after I was arrested for a felony. Scared to death and sick to my stomach, facing a 3 year minimum mandatory prison sentence, I consulted with Rick and his son. They were both down to earth, professional, friendly, family oriented and honest about my situation. Got a good feeling about Richard Canina and Rick Jr. so I hired them. From that day on, Rick's door was always open to me for questions I had, my concerns and he always provided me with case updates. He is a wonderful person and an phenomenal lawyer- everyone in his office was just so attentive, educated and professional. I trusted Rick with my life and he worked hard for me and I never had to see the inside of a jail or prison. I highly recommend Richard Canina. He's sharp and he cares unlike a stereotypical lawyer. He literally saved my life and the outcome of my case was a platinum dream come true. All cases are different, but here is a lawyer who will work for you, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.

Gets the Best Results Possible!!!
This guy works miracles! I was coming home from a bar after a pretty wild night and was stopped by the Palm Bay PD. Cop saw a bunch of beers in my car and said I failed all the sobriety test. I was arrested for DUI. I thought it was hopeless after a few lawyers told me I’d probably get convicted and have a DUI on my record. Then I heard about Rick and his son and wound up hiring them because they at least gave me hope. Rick walked me through all the DMV issues and immediately got me a hardship license. They got all the evidence and worked my case for many months. They always made time for me and kept me up to speed on everything about my case. In the end, Rick was able to get me out of the DUI and got the State to reduce the charge to a Reckless Driving! All the good things I had heard about this firm were TRUE. I couldn’t be happier with the result I got. Thank you!!!

Big Help!
Rick couldn't have been more helpful in helping me and representing me in my DUI case. Rick helped me by getting the charges reduced and negotiating the terms of the plea I ultimately accepted. This makes a big difference in the potential total fines and insurance costs! Most importantly, Rick gave me incredible insight into the world of criminal law and the litigation process. Because of Rick's experience, he knew to ask for reductions in some of the probation requirements that most attorneys don't even know to negotiate for. This has helped me fulfill those requirements much quicker! Rick was very dedicated to helping me out during a very stressful time and his knowledge and experience made me feel much more comfortable in making decisions on how to proceed. Rick and his entire office have my sincere thanks.

Incredible Job!
Hired Richard Canina for my daughter who was arrested for multiple felony domestic violence charges. We met with several different lawyers, but Rick immediately stood out among the crowd. Let me tell you: this man is the REAL THING...incredibly intelligent, detail oriented, and caring throughout the entire case. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and cared for his clients like family. Mr. Canina was always honest and straightforward with us. His office has an open-door policy and he always took extra time to answer our questions. When an offer for resolution was made by the State's Attorney, Richard was up front with us and recommended against accepting the State's offer because he wanted to investigate the case more fully. He didn't just rush her into a resolution that she wasn't comfortable with (another lawyer did this with her in the past). Ultimately, after many months of working the case, her charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with no incarceration and no conviction. We are all incredibly grateful for what Mr. Canina and his office has done for us. My daughter now has now gotten her life back together and is doing extremely well. Thank you Rick !!!

Extremely Satisfied!
I was looking at a drug felony; possession over 20 grams with a possible 5 year sentence. I was referred to Canina & Canina. Mr. Canina is very experienced and knew exactly what end result he wanted for a first time offender. He is very honest and up front about everything. It took 2 court dates, but ended with charges dropped to a misdemeanor with probation. You can't go wrong with choosing this firm.

Traffic Accidents and Related Legal Charges
I was the luckiest person to have Mr. Canina as my lawyer. All charges were dropped because of his diligent effort and command of the law, properly presenting the facts and me in court. I was lucky to pick him from a search list on Google. He was # 8 down the search list ... I had no recommendation from anyone when I decided to have him represent me, and that is why I say that I was lucky having him represent me! I am writing this review and endorsement of Mr. Canina ... because, I was lucky to go with my got feeling and pick # 8 down the list of search results-not everyone else would have done that without a recommendation. He does NOW have my strongest endorsement and recommendation -all charges against me have been dismissed.

Rich really came through for us!
Rich Canina did an excellent job of defending our son! Our son had been floundering in the justice system for years because his mental disabilities were not properly considered and addressed. Rich and his team fully addressed those issues and got our son's sentence down to a reasonable level. A father will now have 4 extra years to spend with his daughter and an opportunity to get his life back on track. Thanks again Rich!!

Best criminal defense lawyer out there
Rick is hands down the best lawyer you could possibly hire. Whether your charges are minor or very serious, he will go above and beyond to take care of you and make sure you are represented with the best defense you could possibly have. I was facing a mandatory minimum of 20 years on one charge alone, and after about 9-10 months, I walked out of the court room with 3 years of probation with early termination after 2, and adjudication withheld. Not only was he able to save me from a lengthy prison sentence, but he saved me from incarceration completely and got me the best outcome I could ever ask for with my case. He never faltered at any point in time, and he kept me reassured that I would be taken care of every step of the way. He was extremely polite, straightforward, and honest, and kept a very professional demeanor throughout my entire case. He even gave me his personal phone number in case I had any questions or concerns after normal office hours, or needed to get in touch with him in an emergency. His staff is also very polite, and calls and questions are returned and answered not long after they are received and/or asked. If you are looking for a lawyer to hire, look no further. If you want the best representation you can get, look no further. I would definitely recommend this lawyer to anyone that needs legal help, and if I ever run into another problem in the future (I sure hope I don't), I know exactly who I am going to hire because of the phenomenal representation he gave me before.

5 stars isn't enough!
This lawyer had exactly 10 days from the day i retained him to get with prosecutor and not only hit a "GRAND SLAM!" (Exact words of Mr. Canina Sr.) But got me a deal you couldn't even imagine.. and Mr. Canina Jr. stayed in contact with me at the jail up to the minute I was released from custody! If you have any sense in your head and need an attorney and you don't go with this firm, then save your money all together and just go with a public defender! I assure you you will not be disappointed! 5 stars isn't enough! They deserve 10!

So Glad I found this firm
When one is wrongfully accused of a crime, the individual feels he needs to fight the charges even more vigorously, and I went to the correct man for this situation. Since then, i have referred another client to him, and we are both in in agreement , that we could not have requested better representation. Also, impressive is the way that this firm makes one feel AFTER the case has been completed. They have invited us back to discuss any remaining legal questions, and they have made me feel as though i am, sort of, part of the firm. I have been back several times, already, to get further advice. If people ask me who to retain for a criminal charge, i cannot imagine suggesting anyone other than Mr. Canina.

LIFESAVER!
This man has represented me in several situations. I had some serious charges.46 counts of dealing in stolen property and he got it down to 1. I was looking at many years in prison and he got me out of it. Also got arrested for drug trafficking last year and wasn’t guilty, Rick got the charge dismissed. I probably didn’t deserve the best, but I GOT the best. Because of him, I’ll become a better man. I owe my life to Rick Canina.

Nothing but the best...
I retained Mr. Richard G. Canina for a DUI case. Rick provided me with the highest level of professional legal counsel available. The advice and representation I received throughout this difficult process was everything I could hope for. Rick went above and beyond my expectations in helping me in my case. He was very prompt in answering all the questions I had and constantly kept me informed about what was going on with my case. Finding an attorney of this caliber that truly cared about what I was facing did not come easy until I contacted his firm. Rick was extremely professional/knowledgeable and I would highly recommend contacting him if you need a great criminal defense attorney.
