The Estate, Trust & Elder Law Firm, P.L. - Stuart (FL)

Marilyn J Freedman Rusty Franklin is incredibly well connected, experienced and knowledgeable about the nuances of law, a truly kind and thoughtful human being, and the ONLY lawyer a person needs in Polk County. I referred him to a friend and could not be happier with his results. He delivered on his promises. His office assistant, Donna, is amazing too !!

BriOrlando Attorney Stacy Preston and her team at Orange Blossom Law were EXCELLENT in preparing our Estate Planning documents. Entire staff were all very friendly, professional, knowledgeable , and included legal documents I didn’t even think of! If you need to prepare a Trust, Will, Power of Attorney, Health Care Legal documents etc., this is the Law Firm you should use! Stacy explained the process every step of the way. See my Estate planning folder picture attached. All Our legal documents in one professional folder with detailed tabs for quick access to the documents you need. Thanks!

Tim Doyle I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Bob Wilson and his Legal Assistant Star Murphy on a residential home sale in Ocala. Bob provided affordable legal representation for me along with extremely quick turnaround (mostly via email) for any questions I had throughout the entirety of the various contract phases. His legal help and advice were invaluable. Star was very proactive in working diligently to meet an aggressive closing date. They both kept me well informed during the process leading up to and inclusive of the actual day of closing. Highly recommend.

Fedor Edmonds I highly encourage people to talk to Karen Hatton and her girls at her office for themselves before listening and following negative reviews. She was excellent and always made an appointment for me to speak with her. It was made clear to me that she generally was not available at my whim and if I needed to discuss my case with her I could send her a message through their electronic system or make an appointment to call her. As far as giving them money in advance to be available to me, it is my understanding that is called a Retainer Agreement and EVERYONE has to pay that with every attorney out there. I believe that a lot of people think that an attorney will somehow be able to fix the mistakes that we make but that isnt true and they, especially Karen, can and does do the best with the clay mold she is given.

Pedro Gonzalez I highly recommend this law firm to help anyone with their social security claim. He was honest and thorough throughtout the whole process. My claim was approved in the appeals process and I felt prepared during my hearing. Mr. Alston advocated for me during the hearing and had the facts of my case accurately articulated. I found him online based on reviews and I hope the next client will be rewarded as I was.

Michael Jones They are very helpful and easy to talk too. Getting in touch with then via phone call is difficult unless you call first thing in the morning when they open

wendy mccubbins Attny. Klein handled my divorce in 2013. Fast forward to 2025 and I needed a copy of the divorce decree, but could not find it! Not only did the office email me a copy the same day, but Mr. Klein obtained a certified copy from the courthouse and mailed it to me. I could not be happier with the both the outcome of my divorce case years ago and the help I received today.

Amy Jackson-Yancy My mother used Hudgins...he is knowledgeable, helpful and honest...my mom started her lawsuit with another lawyer who gave up because he was lazy but Mr. Hudgins fought and got my mothers medical bills paid, surgeons, physical therapists and some $$$ for her pain and suffering...he met will her on serval occasions and listened to her and reassured her that she was at no fault and shouldnt have to be out 100 thousand + in medical expenses. He is kind understanding and great man

Hallie Nevaeh We had a wonderful experience with Rick. My fiance needed his citizenship renewed. We went in March. Rick was very personable, kind, detail-oriented and made sure we understood everything that was set to happen with our case. Like I said, we went in March and received the approval in July so it was also very quick, much quicker than we anticipated. I also couldn’t help but notice his office was very inviting and clean.

Sean Waterman Making closing easy! Andrew and Lori go above and beyond to make every closing that much easier. I constantly recommend them to all of my clients.
