Excellent Value - Answered All My Questions - Would Recommend

I contacted Mr. Winer about getting a property through probate that I was purchasing. I didn't realize probate was needed until the property was under contract. Mr Winer was a pleasure working with, he answered all my questions and he even gave me some advice on a couple other real estate related que...stions. I called a few other attorneys and his fees were very reasonable.

The Perfect Attorney - Honest, Fair, Expert, Dedicated, Relentless

Finding Russell was the best thing that could have happened to me during a difficult and complicated time. I had a very unique probate situation with many twists and turns along the way. When I explained my situation to him he knew exactly what to do within 15 minutes time. He immediately set my m...ind at ease and was sensitive to every aspect of the case. What seemed to be an insurmountable task became a plan of action and we trudged through it relentlessly. He handled my case from a thousand miles away and always kept me informed. He was always quick to respond to my questions and I never had to wonder or worry unnecessarily. Russell is an expert in his field and a genuine and fair human being. I hold him in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone. If I ever need an attorney in the future he will be the first person I call. Thank you so much, Russell!

Solid and Responsive

After our father passed away recently in Florida, we quickly needed to find an estate/probate lawyer who could help us. After reviewing lots of websites and ratings and sending inquiries out to lots of different law firms, we chose Russell because he was clearly an expert in this field, and was very ...responsive and economical. He is very informative and straightforward, and was able to process our probate much quicker than we had expected. Overall, we've been very satisfied with his services, and we highly recommend him.

A truly satisfied client.

Attorney Russell Winer helped us navigate the tedious maze of legal procedures and Summary Administration documents after the loss of our mom. Although my mom's estate was based in Southeast Florida, the process proceeded smoothly and Russelll kept us updated on a regular basis. He thouroughly epla...ined the steps in the process and always had timely repsonses to our questions and concerns. He has a very high level of expertise in probate and estate law and we highly recommend him to other clients.

"Russell is awesome, I am an attorney and my office is next door to Mr. Winer's. I needed something notarized and I walked over to see if he had a notary at his office. Within 5 minutes I was amazed by Mr. Winer's probate knowledge and desire to help others. I would definitely recommend him for anything related to his practice areas of Inheritance and Guardianship."
