Great Law Firm that you can trust

We had Medina firm create our Living Trust for us they did an outstanding job, they took the time to explain to us all our options, they took the time to answer all our questions in detail. They made us feel very comfortable with this most delicate process. I will recommend this firm to anyone that ...would like a firm that you can truly trust and feel most comfortable. Emilio Azan and the entire team handled all our needs. Awesome very pleasant experience. Jorge & Rita

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!

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.

Very Professional, , great ability for deal with other lawyers, do not hesitate to hire him.

Atty, Jose Medina handled my divorce in 2007, and really it took a few month that we worked very close, and he always was very helpful, and also, best skills to negotiate. For family legal issues, do not hesitate to hire Atty Jose Medina.
