Ginn & Patrou, PA

My family has worked with Jonathan Hermes at Ginn & Patrou since 2020. In that time Jonathan has helped us navigate some pretty tricky Estate issues and worked closely with my Father on his Estate needs. Now, years later, Jonathan and his team, Lauren and Michele, have stood by us as we navigate the loss of my Father. Our Family couldn't be more thankful for the longevity, expertise, and true care that Jonathan and his Team have brought to us. They are not just our Legal Team, they are trusted confidents to our Family. We highly recommend.

Jonathan and his staff did an amazing job helping us organize and make important life decisions. Made a difficult process very smooth with kindness. Highly recommend this office!

I highly recommend Ginn & Patrou to establish a trust. The team under Jonathan Hermes was extremely professional and helpful. Jonathan provided us valuable advice ensuring we were protected. Michelle Todrick, the firm manager, was very flexible and made the signing pleasant. We appreciate the services.

Losing a parent is horrible enough, but then having to handle all of the legal and financial matters is a tremendous responsibility with a heavy weight on your shoulders. Thank goodness for Jonathan Hermes, Lauren, Michelle, and the entire team at Ginn & Patrou. They put the best possible solutions in place before our loved one’s passing and have helped navigate and manage everything afterward, including every single detail of the estate, as well as an unforeseen circumstance (arising from a previous financial planner’s negligence). Honestly, we would not have survived without Jonathan and his expertise and attentiveness; he is hands-down the BEST attorney we have ever worked with. He answers every question we have and is also able to make complicated legal language easy to understand. Everyone at Ginn & Patrou goes above and beyond and is extremely kind, professional, knowledgeable, diligent, caring, and efficient, and they ensure all aspects of your legal matters are handled appropriately, correctly, and as quickly as possible. Ginn & Patrou is the only firm we will ever use, and we are forever grateful for their services.

Jonathan Hermes provided exceptional service with my estate and business planning needs. He was clear, thorough, and highly professional throughout the entire process. I am confident in his expertise and would highly recommend him.

Jonathan Hermes is one of only a few Board Certified Estate Planners and was very knowledgeable and generous with his time. If you need it done right, he is the guy!

Absence of communication and non-existent follow up caused what should have been a simple transaction to take a very long time and be more stressful than it should have been. If you like being ghosted, calling and emailing the office for a simple update and getting no responses for weeks on end, then this place is for you.

I had a similar experience to a couple of others that have provided reviews on Mr. Hermes. This occurred during the summer of 2024. I had started to work with Mr. Hermes to resolve some estate issues for my parents. After the initial meeting, the man wouldn’t return emails or phone calls. His assistant kept making apologies for him but to no avail. Weeks went by before I started to find another law firm, but before we could set up any estate for my parents, they both suddenly passed away leaving me to establish estates posthumously with another lawyer. Thanks for nothing. Frustrating, disappointing and quite rude.

They started out doing great work for my family in 2020 and then became progressivly worse. They don't answer questions, don't have the paperwork on time and my last straw was to call for a new legal service 3 times and no one called me back. I am done! I found a new lawyer that treats us with respect.

We just purchased a home in St Augustine. We haven't purchased a home since 1996, so we were nervous about how everything would work, especially with us not being locals. Amanda and the rest of the folks involved did a fantastic job of holding our hands and helping us through the process. We're very impressed.

Our attorney, Jonathan Hermes, was excellent at explaining things, reviewing our options, going over details & answering questions. We would highly recommend him.

Great experience with a real estate closing with my clients here. Very professional, prompt, and courteous. Kim and Amanda were awesome to work with.

We interviewed quite a few law firms to revise and update our estate documents when we moved full time from the Washington D.C. area and are so grateful we selected Ginn Patrou! We have had an exceptional experience working with Jonathan Hermes. His intelligence, legal acumen, professionalism and integrity are so apparent, and on top of that, he is such a pleasure to work with. He did an outstanding job updating our estate documents. He always has great insight, thoughtful advice and good solutions! He also advised us wisely on a real estate matter and an HOA matter regarding our daughter’s POA. He is a very effective communicator. Both of our adult children were in the office to sign their legal documents and commented afterwards how glad they were we selected him for our estate lawyer! Jonathan has given us the priceless gift of peace of mind when it comes to estate legal matters.

My husband and I, along with our daughter, had an exceptional experience with Atty Jonathan Hermes & staff.

Our experience with Ginn & Patrou was extremely satisfying...in short order, they professionally established all of the Wills, trusts and documents to execute our estate wishes....Top and trustworthy people.

The team at Ginn & Patrou were pleasant, efficient and professional. The closing process was the best I have been involved in. Tiffany was wonderful! Thank you all.

Extremely overall great experience! Aside from the courtesy and professionalism, my wife and I were impressed by their efficiency. Unsurpassed timely responses and follow up. I never felt like I needed to reiterate or confirm. Although my specific service rendered was billed at a flat rate, all my concerns and questions were patiently answered thoroughly. With absolute confidence I wouldn't hesitate to hire this firm for future representation and services.
