TOP NOTCH FIND

My sister and I flew in to Florida in a tailspin to help my mother with my elderly father who, one late eve, was transported to the ER. Everything, in a short period, became a blur- "information overload" - as we realized a nightmare- our always smart, sweet, caring father would have to be quickly an...d permanently moved to a memory care facility. We, after making a lot of calls, to not only find a highly reputable attorney, but one we felt we could trust and one who would be willing to quickly answer a multitude of pressing questions (and he didn't nickel- and -dime us, by the way), still feel so fortunate to have found John Ferrari amidst an overwhelming sea of Florida estate planning/elder care attorneys. He is awesome. If I lived in Florida, I would definitely use him for my own planning needs. My mom now tells everybody she knows about him and his excellent service. I'm hoping our review will help somebody, in a similar pressing situation, find John with ease. We rest more comfortably knowing our parents have such an excellent attorney at their fingertips. We lucked out with this find--TOP NOTCH!

Highly Satisfied

My wife and I engaged John to complete our initial estate planning and we were very satisfied with the experience. He took the time to explain everything to us in terms that we could easily understand and he completed all of the work for a very reasonable fee. We also take comfort in the fact that he... is equally skilled in other areas of elder law which will serve us well in the future. We highly recommend him to others looking for an attorney to handle their estate planning needs.

Responsive and knowledgable

John helped me with a contract for design services I was creating, that had special needs and circumstances. He responded to my email immediately and we had a phone call conference within a couple of hours. He was very helpful and straightforward. He provided good advice and direction on my matter.... This is the second time I have used John and I will continue to do so.

Trustworthy, Caring and Extremely Knowledgable

John's genuine care and concern were obvious from the first meeting, earning my trust and respect. John's knowledge and experience gave him the insight to set up my trust and estate to help me protect my daughter and myself, at the most difficult time in our lives, after losing my husband. His pati...ence and compassion were endless, John is an amazing man and attorney. You can trust your family and future in John's capable hands, John has been a blessing! I can never thank him enough for all he has done.

I Highly Recommend John Ferrari

John has helped our family through the administration of our mothers estate, and is helping the rest of our family think through planning for our own futures. He is extremely responsive answering questions quickly, responding to emails and returning phone calls. He has a very open and professional ...interaction style, and has made me and others in my family very comfortable that the right things were done in the right way.
