Lauren and her staff did a great job of helping me navigate the probate laws in Florida to help with my Mother’s estate. The case information questionnaires, completed prior to our initial meeting, were clear, concise, and provided the necessary information to pinpoint our options under Florida law, which turned out to be a summary administration procedure. The case was completed quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Lauren for any probate issues. She will definitely be my first call if the need should ever arise again.

Lauren Merritt is a fantastic attorney with great customer/client service who made a complex probate situation feel manageable and stress-free. Our case in Pensacola depended on a separate probate action in another state, which meant a lot of waiting and uncertainty from things that were outside of our control. Lauren was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire process. Once the out-of-state matter was resolved, she handled our Florida probate quickly, thoroughly, and without a single hiccup. She explained everything clearly, kept me informed, and made sure I understood each step. I’m so grateful for her guidance, patience and professionalism—highly recommend her to anyone needing probate help!

I was fortunate to find and work with Lauren Merritt and her team after the passing of my father. Living out of state, I was unfamiliar with Florida’s probate requirements and the documentation needed for the court. Lauren and her team provided a clear written outline of everything required from me as the executor of the will, prepared all necessary documents, and made the process as simple as reviewing and signing.

Thank you for guiding my siblings and me through this process during such a difficult time.

I cannot recommend Lauren Merritt highly enough. She helped me with the guardianship process for my son, and her support was nothing short of exceptional. From our very first conversation, Lauren demonstrated not only deep knowledge of the law but also compassion, patience, and genuine care for our family’s situation.

What stood out most was how she took the time to explain every step of the process in clear and understandable terms, making sure I felt informed and confident in each decision. She was always responsive to my questions, no matter how small, and treated our case with the kind of attention and respect that made us feel truly supported.

Lauren approached our case with professionalism and heart. She balanced the legal requirements with sensitivity to the emotional aspects of establishing guardianship, ensuring my son’s best interests were always at the center. The process, which could have felt overwhelming, was handled with ease and efficiency because of her guidance.

If you are seeking an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate, approachable, and truly dedicated to her clients, Lauren Merritt is the one you want by your side. Thanks to her, we now have peace of mind knowing my son’s future is protected.

From the very first call, the professionalism was evident—my appointment was scheduled within a week, and during our meeting, Attorney Merritt carefully reviewed the case. She made no promises, but provided a realistic timeline based on the return of signed documents.
