Restraining order

I was looking for someone who was confident in what they did and Jude was the man for the job. In a terrible situation he kept me calm, explained everything for me to understand and didn’t give up even when I already had given up. I was truly satisfied with the outcome of my restraining order case an...d I cannot thank him enough. Very professional, kind, supportive, very knowledgeable about the law and courteous. Thank you again Jude.

Compassionate and Sincere

Attorney Jude Faccidomo left a great impression on my family for the constant level of professionalism. My Mother had a high level case and he was hired. From the start, he was very upfront and honest with my mother about the chances of getting a plea deal from the facts about the case. Jude provide...d superior guidance, not sugar coating the situation. Jude explained how the laws affected us and outlined all the potential pitfalls ensuring we were properly prepared for whatever the outcome was. I would highly recommend Jude his dedication and hard work surpasses anything I could have ever asked for! One of the best decisions in my life was to call Jude!

The best

Excellent lawyer, I will always be grateful with JUDE FACCIDOMO for saving my career as a NURSE, If you are looking for an exceptional lawyer, THE YOU DONT NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER. Jude is THE BEST! His knowledge and expertise were invaluable in my case. Jude always took the time to answer any and ...all my questions he will call me almost weekly to inform me of every step he will be taking with my case. He is patient, kind, incredibly smart and passionate at what he does. I could not be happier with JUDE especially after many bad experience I had before with lawyers handling this same case he was the only one that not only help me but was honest and trustful.

Great team, truly professional

I have only great things to say about Jude Faccidomo and Mycki Ratzan who represented my son, a university student falsely accused of misconduct. They were always available to answer our questions and guide my son though this difficult and traumatic experience. I feel very lucky to have found such a ...devoted, compassionate and skilled team.

Relentless Pursuit of Justice Puts Criminal Behind Bars

Jude Faccidomo is very respected in the criminal law community, and rightfully so. He represented us in a case against our abusive and vandalizing neighbor. It was difficult to have the neighbor apprehended, but with Jude's relentless pursuit of justice and amazing knowledge of the law, the cri...minal was finally put behind bars. Additionally, Jude was able to procure a settlement amount for us, to help offset the many expenses we incurred for repairs, moving & legal fees. We would definitely recommend Jude to anyone that needs a great criminal attorney.

"Jude is an outstanding criminal defense attorney and one of the brightest stars in Miami’s legal community. He has extensive litigation experience, both from his time spent in private practice as well as his years as an assistant Public defender. He is knowledgeable, always up-to-date on the law, and a source of advice for many lawyers, myself included. Miami has no shortage of qualified attorneys, but if I ever needed to hire a lawyer for a close friend or family member, I would hire Jude without giving the matter a second thought."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
