My sister and I could not be more pleased with the help we received from DeLoach, Hofstra+ Cavonis, PA. This was the BEST law firm to choose to help us navigate through the Medicaid process for our mom. Rep, Amy and Tammy were always available to answers any of our questions, no matter how many times we asked. I truly can't imagine trying to do this without the expertise of DeLoach, Hofstra + Cavonis, PA. Thank you! I'd also like to thank Gloria for helping us get our mom settled into Season's of Largo Memory Care; we are very happy with the facility and staff, and believe mom is happy too :) Thank you again! Sandy and I are grateful for all you did for us and our sweet mom. Trish Lacey

I am a “repeat customer” of DeLoach, Hofstra and Cavonis. I am because of the great experience I had the first time. Rep provided fantastic legal counsel and Gloria Centonze was my parents’ advocate providing a level of attention to their care that makes me tear up as I reflect on it. I am back again because my mother needs skilled care. I live in Virginia and my mother lives in Florida. My first call after she got out of the hospital was to Gloria. Even though it has been several years since I needed her help, she remembered me, my mother and provided the help I needed almost immediately. While I did have to sign some paperwork, she was set on getting my mother the best place for her care and she did it in a day! Rep was also his normal, kind responsive self and thus I am now a very happy repeat customer. Knowing that Gloria will continue to be my mother’s advocate on the ground while I am away and will visit her regularly gives me such peace of mind. I cannot say enough good things about these talented, caring professionals.

I contacted them regarding a will & after a short probate, (within a year) was over everything ran smoothly. Best and Michael Cavonis were so easy to work with. I had never gone through this and I have to tell you these 2 kept me in the loop. They also have wonderful receptionists when you walk in. Highly recommend.

I was very fortunate to work with Monica on a personal injury case involving a relative. She is compassionate, genuine, very knowledgeable, and took the time to fully explain everything, making sure I understood. This would have been impossible for me to handle on my own as I am out of state. She kept me updated. I highly recommend this law firm.

I had a good experience overall with this firm. Monica was very helpful throughout the process. She was very detailed and kept me informed at all times, provided me with updates on the spot. She has a pleasant and fun personality and I enjoyed working with her.

When my Mom passed away in July 2025, the last thing we needed was a painful probate process. Fortunately Michael Cavonis made the process as painless as possible. At a very reasonable fee, Michael and his staff got us through the process quickly and efficiently. There were no "gotchas" or surprises. I would highly recommend Michael and his team to handle a probate situation. His Paralegal, Best King, stands out as she was incredibly helpful - and yes, her first name is quite accurate - she was indeed the best. A potentially painful process was made as easy as possible for my family.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback, Kate. It means a great deal to know that Michael Cavonis and Best King were able to support you and your family during such a difficult time. Your kind words about the team’s professionalism and care are truly appreciated.

We reached out to evaluate this firm for estate planning and elder law services on behalf of my parents. The initial response from April was rigid, transactional, and dismissive, prioritizing process and payment over basic engagement, discretion, or fit. At the inquiry stage, that tone alone was sufficient to remove the firm from consideration. As a result, not only my parents, but our entire extended family of 25 — including siblings, spouses, and adult children who are actively seeking similar services — will be pursuing counsel elsewhere. Estate planning decisions are often made collectively and with an eye toward long-term relationships. First impressions matter. This one fell short.

Response from owner

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your initial interaction did not leave the impression we strive to provide. We understand that estate planning and elder law matters are often sensitive and family-centered, and first impressions are important. Our firm is committed to treating every inquiry with professionalism, respect, and care while helping families determine whether we are the right fit for their needs. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and wish you and your family all the best moving forward.

Monica was truly a blessing in one of the hardest moments of my life. The firm didn’t just handle my case — they cared about me as a person. Monica's kindness, strength, and unwavering support carried me through when I couldn't defend myself. Monica fought for me with heart, patience, and dedication, and I am grateful. I can honestly say the firm made a life-changing difference for me, and I appreciate them more than words can express. All while my attorney Mr. Cavonis had passed, Monica did not change the pace or the firms fight and she especially fought like hell. Thank you to the whole team.

Response from owner

Michelle and April are amazing. Very knowledgeable, organized and efficient. Our trust was handled flawlessly. We didnt know anything about doing a trust and Michelle explained it "human" terms so we knew everything about it. I would recommend the entire team at DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis for any legal matters. Side note.. we also used Seminole Title recently to close on a lot we purchased, that division of this team was also amazing!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words about Michelle, April, and the team. It’s wonderful to hear that the trust process was explained in clear, understandable terms and that you felt supported throughout. Your recommendation and mention of Seminole Title are truly appreciated.

After being involved in a car accident and having previous experience with another law firm.. I had to retain a new qualified law firm to represent me. Word of mouth is great but until you have the same experience as someone who refers you, you still have hesitation. I must say working with Monica Case, Im really appreciative of the time she took in addressing any concerns or questions I had until I had a clear understanding. Even after the case was finalized, she accommodated a meeting after hours for my personal benefit. I truly am thankful for everything that this firm assisted me with from start to finish. Hopefully I will not ever need any such services again but if I do,... I know who I can call upon. Thank you so much Monica!

Response from owner

It starts with literature stating “pet friendly office” and continues with packaged treats and a warmth from each team member that you comfortable immediately. The firm is firmly entrenched in market outreach with webinars, newsletters, etc but still has the small firm feel. Michelle and April were patient with our timeframe, answered our numerous questions with understandable answers and were interested in us as people. Thank you and we appreciate you!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback, Rebecca. It's wonderful to know that the welcoming environment and pet-friendly touches made you feel comfortable from the start.

Connecting with clients on a personal level is important, and your recognition of that means a lot.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Cavonis and paralegal Best King during a difficult time involving probate matters, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the service provided. From the very first consultation, both of them demonstrated deep knowledge of probate law and an incredible level of professionalism. What stood out the most was their sensitivity to the emotional aspects of the process. Michael and Best not only took the time to explain everything in detail but also offered support with empathy, understanding, and care. Navigating probate can be overwhelming, but with Michael and Best's expert guidance, I felt assured and confident every step of the way. The attention to detail and the thoroughness in addressing every concern truly made a difference. They were always available to answer questions, and I felt like I had a trusted advocate throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of probate assistance. The service was truly outstanding, and I’m so thankful for the guidance and support provided. Thank you for everything!
