Review Cody McCaughan

Cody McCaughan Esq. Excellent attorney

Posted by

Cody McCaughan has handled both realestate and probate litigation and filings for me and my family on numerous occassions. He has done so with tremendous knowledge, excellent execution, great foresight, and guidance. He is always available to help and guide resulting in the best approach under Florida law. His fees are reasonable. Furthermore, he is just a nice gentleman to know and deal with. I am very happy to know him and have him as my legal council.

Integrity, honesty, & efficacy

Posted by

My wife and I reached out to Cody after finding him on Avvo. He was the first lawyer to actually speak with us same day. The other lawyers took days to respond and some didn't even bother. Asides from that, the ones we did speak to came off arrogant and not very relatable. We were in the process of buying our first home and wanted to make sure we had an experienced attorney we could count on and trust. Cody exceeded all our expectations and managed to break the typical stereotypes of lawyers. Cody was incredibly responsive, very aware of the complexities of real estate law, and very kind. Never once did we feel taken advantage of. With Cody's eagle eye, lightening speed, and attention to detail, we were able to navigate and circumvent a complicated deal that could have fallen apart at any moment. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Cody and our business.

Employer contract help

Mr. McCaughan helped to review an employee contract/notice that was sent out by my employer. He provided excellent advice and was able to break down the details that were stated in the contract in order to help me decide how to proceed. Professional and thorough!

Residential tenant with security deposit dispute

Just what was needed

Cody helped evaluate my specific foreclosed/defaulted property situation. We were able to act on it very quickly to move it along. I wish I would have contacted him sooner.

Great Job!

Mr. McCaughan handled a real estate closing for me. He did everything in a timely manner with little help from me, which was great. He closed on time and followed up with the documents, all correct the first time...
