Legal Assistance/Will Appointments
The Legal Office attorneys offer advice on a variety of topics during a Legal Assistance appointment. Please contact us to make sure that your issue is a topic the attorneys are eligible to discuss. Legal Assistance is by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call 321-494-2281or 321-494-7357 during the posted hours of operation Monday – Friday.

Wills, advanced medical directives, and healthcare POAs must be drafted by the attorneys in our office. To begin, you can contact our office via phone or email. This process includes verifying a client’s eligibility, having the client complete a survey that will only be accessible through personnel in this office, and managing telephone consultations with the drafting attorney via email. It is vital the client have a functioning email address to receive correspondence. Our wait time is approximately 2-3 months, due to the high volume of requests. Deploying and active-duty service members will receive priority.

Our office DOES NOT prepare any type of Trust. Clients may use the Florida Bar’s Lawyer Referral Service to locate an attorney capable of preparing trust, at https://www.floridabar.org/public/lrs/.

Tardiness Policy

If you are due for an appointment, being 15 minutes late to the scheduled appointment would be cause for cancelation. Please call our office BEFORE your appointment if you need to reschedule or cancel. If you need directions to our office, please contact us BEFORE your appointment so that you don’t become tardy. We recommend that clients plan to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled time.
