Cody McCaughan Esq. Excellent attorney
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
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
I contacted Cody for assistance in dealing with an unresponsive landlord that was withholding my security deposit without explanation. He was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful. The matter was resolved within a matter of days and I highly recommend his legal services.

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...

Eviction Notice
I was very pleased when hired Mr. McCaughan. He was very experienced and he readily available to help you. Even if he was in court, he would still keep contact with you by text. He proficient, professional, and he handled my case with very exceptional. I had an eviction notice on me. As well as as a law suit for damages to the apartment i was dwelling. He was able to resolve both cases in a matter of a short a period of time. Which, i thought was impressive, considering i had hired another attorney before but had to fire him in order to hire Mr. McCaughan. And that was a blessing! My case was resolved completely and im happy for it. Thanks to Mr. McCaughan.

Great work and affordable rates
Cody really helped me feel at ease when dealing with me and gave me honest legal advice. I was worried that hiring a lawyer for my issue would be far more costly. Instead he gave me a great rate and showed me the cheapest way to proceed. Definitely will consult with him if I have any other legal issues.
