I was extremely pleased with the professionalism and knowledge of Attorney Jose Leon, as well as, the customer service of the office staff. I highly recommend their service.
Jose has been involved in the Probate and Guardianship community since before his admission to law school. Upon his graduation and licensing, Jose continued practicing in the areas of Estate Planning, Probate, and Guardianship until eventually starting his own law firm to better serve his clients in late 2016. Jose also served as a Supervising Attorney/Adjunct Professor for the Florida International University College of Law Clinical Program in the areas of Probate, Guardianship, Elder Law, and Special Needs.
Jose Ignacio Leon launched The Florida Estate Planning Law Firm with one goal in mind: providing the help clients need without unnecessary fees and costs. At the Florida Estate Planning Law Firm, we don’t believe in “one size fits all” estate planning, instead striving to provide our clients with exactly what they need. That philosophy extends to our Probate and Guardianship practice as well, where our team leverages our collective experience to provide creative and efficient solutions to help navigate the Probate and Guardianship process. We pride ourselves on protecting the legacy you’ve worked so hard to build.

SIMPLY AMAZING
Mr. Leon and his staff were amazing in my father's estate case. They were caring and very patient. They kept me updated as to everything that went on throughout my case. Any documents that I needed to complete but did not understand they had me come in and complete them with me no matter how many questions I had. I will be using them again for my estate planning. I recommend this firm for any of your estate and/or estate planning needs.

Outstanding and Super Personal - and his staff too!
I was referred to Atty Jose Leon for Estate Planning. From day one, he and everyone at the office have been awesome. They are very responsive (even during COVID remote workdays), have provided spot-on guidance, and are just such down-to-Earth & caring professionals. I was finally able to meet them in-person (after numerous phone conferences and emails - due to COVID), and they made me feel so at home in their office. They weren't rushed to "get-rid-of-me" and spent time "just talking about things." The professional guidance and detailed discussions we had about all that stuff we just don't want to think about (death, disconnecting life support, family needs, burial, everyone fighting for what we leave them, etc....) were so appreciated. In my case, there were several "out-of-the-box" things to discuss... Not saying they should raise their rates (LOL), but I found their services to be reasonable considering all they did and the time they spent with me on the phone, email, and the in-person meeting. Handling this process ahead of time, certainly gives me peace of mind that my family will have less to deal with whenever (hopefully many, many years from now) my "time" comes... Thank you Jose and all of the Florida Estate Planning Law Firm staff who treated me like family (even though I was just another referred customer)!
PS: I am not a representative of this firm, a licensed attorney, related to anyone at this firm, and haven't been paid/discounted anything for this review; I'm just a real customer who really is this pleased with their services and personal touch.

Estate Planning
I’ve solicited Mr. Leon’s advice on a number of occasions and have found him to be one of the most knowledgeable and hard working attorneys in the field. He has always been diligent in assisting me or any client I’ve sent his way and I wouldn’t hesitate to continue to do so in the future. For even if Mr. Leon was unable to handle a matter personally, I’m confident he would be able to point me in the direction of someone one who could. Having a trustworthy attorney is an absolute must for any individual, the search should start and end with Mr. Jose Leon, Esq.
