Lauren A. Merritt, P.A.

Lauren and team were great. They were extremely accessible and quickly managed the probate process for my family.

Amazing experience, Lauren and her team were excellent!! Highly recommend

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.

Very pleasant and very sweet lawyer's office. Always helpful and courteous to you

Lauren and her team were able to take care of us with my fathers estate. From the initial call they understood what we needed and how to help. We appreciate them greatly.

My family’s experience with Lauren and Jody was above expectations. They were exceptional while working with us, in every way. I highly recommend their services.

Amazing experience! Lauren is detail-oriented, forward-thinking professional who is upbeat and friendly. Lauren’s leadership put our worries to rest, as she expertly guided us through the complex probate process. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommended this talented attorney!

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!

We greatly appreciate the office of Lauren A. Merritt, Esq. and her staff in their most compassionate, yet efficient handling of our probate needs. All necessary paperwork and court submissions were handled with the exactitude one would expect from a professional law office. We could not have been more pleased with their services.

I would like to sincerely thank Attorney Lauren Merritt and her staff for their outstanding work on the probate case for my sister’s estate. 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. Throughout the process, communication was impeccable. I was kept informed at each step and always felt confident in the handling of the case. The probate was completed and finalized in just over 90 days, which was a positive outcome I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Attorney Lauren Merritt to anyone in need of probate services. She and her staff are knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to their clients. Thank you again for your excellent work! Janet C.

I am grateful to have chosen the right law firm, which provided significant relief during such a challenging time. Lauren and her team truly excel in their field.

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.

Reading this review? First, sorry for your loss, some time later it gets better. His memories make me smile. Dad passed in late Dec. I called the lawyer that my real estate agent recommended on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of Jan. After 3 business days, nothing. I randomly found Lauren Merrit and called. She responded the next day. We began working together on my father's estate right away. Knowing it was going to have to go through probate but knowing little to nothing else, Lauren, after a quick review of the estate filled me in on all the steps to follow and possible option etc. She was always there via email with pretty rapid responses to all the questions I had through out our 1.5 year long relationship. Probate generally takes 2 years so another notch to Lauren and her team. The process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and efficiency! The team guided me through each step with clear, simple steps and was always readily available to answer any questions. Lauren and her team made a difficult time easier. You can't go wrong here. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone needing help with probate matters.

Lauren handled my mom's probate. She and her team are so wonderful. She was very informative and prompt, answering every question I had along the way and then some! I was never left wondering about anything as she would update me before I even had a chance to ask. She really went above and beyond and I will 100% recommend her to everyone. Thank you for everything Lauren!

The best attorney I've dealt with in a long time. Keep me up to date with what was happening and the time lines I was looking at. Rapidly answers any questions. I am very pleased.

Lauren is an exceptional lawyer; meticulous attention to detail regarding establishing a trust for our son. Her assistant - Jody - was simply outstanding in keeping us informed and "on track" for the timely delivery of our paperwork.

Lauren and her team were fantastic! My sister and I have been putting off probate for our father’s estate for years. Lauren got started with our paperwork day 1 and was so attentive. Emails and questions were answered quickly and she went above and beyond to speed the process up for us. Can’t recommend her enough!

We would just like to thank Mrs. Merritt and her team for a very smooth and prompt transaction on my father‘s home. She and everyone in her office were extremely kind and prompt to take care of all our needs in this transaction. We were treated with the utmost respect and made to feel as if we were the only client. We too would give her additional stars if they were available, and would love to give a great big thanks to this entire office once again!

Absolutely recommend Mrs.Lauren Merritt. Her and Jody made our case easy and smooth. Both have hearts of gold and cares for all that come their way. Very professional and thoughtful.
