Our wills were complicated with very specific requirement. Robert listened, made suggestions, and created exactly what we needed for now and recommendations for future actions as my wife and I make some big financial decisions.
Robert was a pleasure to work with for our will and other documents my family needed. He was very responsive during the process and provided a tremendous value with his helpful tips and services. He’s also very friendly which is a big plus for me. I will definitely reuse him in the future should I need a lawyer again.

Excellent and affordable estate planning

Very efficient, professional and knowledgeable
We've been meaning to get our wills done for many years, and Robert made our estate planning and end-of-life documents clear and manageable. He cut to the chase on potentially difficult topics (for a lay person) and even came up with a cheat for us to better navigate after we left his office. Highly recommend his services.

Condo closing
We were buying a home in Venice, Florida and since we live in another state, we looked into lawyers that practice in the town we were buying the home in. We found Mr. Cemovich and knew right away he was the person. He handled all phases of our transaction. We used email to go back and forth with all the paperwork. But, when things came up I really didn't understand, I just called him. He always got back to me quickly.
Along with Mr. Cemovich we hired his wife and her Title company. She and her staff were always up on things with the other parties involved and the whole process was excellent.

Robert Cemovich was recommended to myself through a legal services company I am a member of. My husband and I have put off having a will written up for years and years, so we finally decided to pursue this. Robert Cemovich's services were highly recommended and I couldn't be happier. Robert was extremely easy to work with and he is very knowledgable. I do not know legal-speak much at all, but Robert explained all the documents in very simple user-friendly terms. I did not use Robert Cemovich for his Title Services, however, he offers those services as well - - and I am sure he is great to work with. If you need the legal services offered by Robert Cemovich, I would highly recommend hiring him and his company.

Real Estate closings
As a business broker, I have worked with many attorneys. I recently worked with Mr. Cemovich on several closing. He is very professional, courteous and all of the closings have gone smooth. I look forward to working with him again.

Handling Business & Real Estate Closings
I am a local business broker and have used Attorney Cemovich to handle the sale of businesses and/or commercial real estate. Selling a business can be stressful for both the buyer and seller as it nears closing. The seller is selling is some cases, "his baby" a business that he personally grew, the buyer is nervous about this new venture as he is putting all his life's savings on the line. The day of settlement you need an attorney like Robert Cemovich as he has a way of making the closing enjoyable for all parties by thoroughly explaining what is happening with each document and literally taking away any stress level in the room.
I intend to personally use him to handle my real estate needs in the future.

A+
I contacted Cemovich in the late stages of a foreclosure. This was a very stressful time for me but he was able to get me through the process without any added stress, even though the end result was not keeping my home. Cemovich was very knowledgeable and was able to get me in contact with other people who also help with the process. I would recommend him for any of your future legal needs.

If I had questions, he was prompt and professional when answering them. Great job start to finish!! I will definitely hire him again when needed.
