Estate Planning Made Easy

A close friend recommended Andrew Medina to us, and I’m so grateful they did. Working with Andrew and Medina Law was such a smooth, reassuring experience from start to finish. Estate planning is something no one really wants to think about, but it’s so important, especially when you have young childr...en. Andrew helped take a huge weight off my shoulders by walking us through everything with patience, clarity, and care. He was incredibly efficient and thorough, making sure every detail was addressed and that we fully understood our trust and documents. Knowing that everything is clearly written and in place brings such a sense of peace and ease, it truly allows you to breathe knowing your children and loved ones will be protected and cared for in the future. Andrew made what could have felt overwhelming feel manageable and empowering. Because of such a positive experience, I’ve already recommended him to my own family. If you’re looking for an estate planning attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients, I can’t recommend Andrew Medina and Medina Law enough.

Medina Law Firm - "The Go To Professionals For Family Law/Estate Planning"

Recently went to Medina Law Firm after being highly recommended by my son and daughter-in-law who had previously used their services to prepare legal paperwork. I was very impressed with the outstanding customer focused service provided by each of the firm's professionals that I had the pleasure to m...eet. My Estate Planning was handled very professionally and promptly. All my questions were fully answered to my satisfaction. I learned so much from them that you could say I attended a short seminar on Estate Planning 101! Would very highly recommend Medina Law Firm for your legal needs. Thank you, Bertha, Jose, Andrew and Emilio!

They took the time to explain all my options, guided me through each requirement, and maintained excellent communication throughout. Their office is or...ganized, courteous, and truly committed to their clients’ best interests. I’m very satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable legal representation.

Best Firm

Ive been dealing with Medina Law firm for over a year in a very complicated case. From the very beginning Mr. Medina meet with me listened to my situation and advised me from the start what was realistic and what wasn't, he didn't offer empty dreams and unrealistic things like the majority of lawyer ...do. The team they have established in the firm is by far the best I never have an issue communicating with, and they are EXCELLENT in keeping me posted with everything about my case. I had a case where my x wife was doing things she shouldn't with our son, Medina Law Firm did everything from filling an emergency motion and fighting tooth and nail for my son and I. I have been to 3 other lawyers and all of them have been thieves and abuser of the system but with Medina Law Firm you can be confident you are choosing the difference in your case.

Review

The following statements are my personal opinions based on experience about Mr. Jose Medina who in my opinion is an incompetent and devising attorney. He was unprepared and late for several court dates, he lacked focus, and organization presenting my case; he did not have the appropriate documentati...ons available, costing time and money. 2. He failed to effectively rebuke the opposing attorney’s allegations, especially on premarital properties. 3. He failed to remove my ex-wife’s 14 years old son, whose biological father lives in Miami, from my home. And to add insult to injury, this individual and his mother obtained, under false and latter dropped by the Judged, a restraining order against me. 4. He failed to promptly return my calls. 5. He failed to call key witnesses e.g. my accountant, an a medical director from a local hospital. 6. He failed to file requested injunctions. 7. His performance during mediation was poor. 8 . He charged me for services rendered even after I had already fired him and requested him to hand over the files to another attorney. 9. Once the Judge rendered her Final Decision, he did no inform about it. I found out about a week later. This resulted in late penalties for not following the Court deadlines. When I asked him why he did not call me as soon as he had the Final Judgment, he said that, “ I thought that you would be too upset.” Let this b sever as a warning for those contemplating to retain this attorney.
