You Shouldn’t Have to Face This Alone

Home

Whatever brought you here—a death in the family, a marriage falling apart, or the nagging feeling you still haven’t gotten your affairs in order—you’re probably carrying more weight than you should be.

Without the right plan, Florida’s courts step in and make those decisions for you. By the time most families realize that, it’s too late to undo the damage.

Hundreds of Florida families have sat where you’re sitting—stressed, uncertain, and just wanting someone they can trust to handle it. Martha and Brett built this firm around exactly that. 

The Attorneys Who Will Handle Your Case

Brett Feinstein, Esq. — Senior Partner

If the other side has strong representation, or your case is complex and the stakes are high, Brett is who you want in your corner. With 34 years of handling the most difficult civil, transactional, family law and probate disputes in Florida, he brings the strategic experience that levels the playing field—and he won’t stop until you get the outcome you need.
Martha Mendez, Esq. — Managing Partner

Martha built this firm around a simple idea: every family deserves an attorney who truly listens before they advise. Whether you’re navigating probate, planning your estate, or working through a family law matter, she takes the time to understand your specific situation before building your plan. Families keep coming back (and sending their friends) because she’s transparent, responsive, and genuinely cares about getting it right.

Julio recently supported me through the probate process after the death of my parents. We had one account that was not included in their trust (work was done by another attorney at another office unrelated to Family Life Law). Julio stands out as a top notch attorney because of his incredible responsiveness and follow through. Chase Bank did not want to disburse funds, even with a judge's order signed, but Julio persisted and supported me, going well above and beyond the scope I expected. I have recommended Julio to several friends/family already and have told other attorneys I know how incredible he is! I plan to work with Julio to now create my own trust and go through the process! I highly recommend Julio.

This was a very trying event, life changing. My main concern was making sure my son was in safe place, healthy, and happy. The Family Law Firm's entire staff made sure that was always the case and they included this father's well-being also. Stressful times made as easy as possible. Somehow they found a way to make me look a that big picture and not just the immediate resolution. Although, those moments if immediate solution were taken care of also. The communication was exceptional, Mr. Brett listened, and when he needed to let me know to calm down and stop talking so much because it could be costly, he found humorous ways to let me know. We all know these matters are costly, but no money can replace keeping a family from resolving such issues than with civility and as amicable as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire F&M "A Law Firm" staff. Be Blessed Always, Mr. Brett, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Capote, and Ms. Priscilla. Take good care.

The team and Feinstein & Mendez was spectacular to work with. Brett took real care of me, was diligent, was transparent, and really made me feel comfortable in the process. I appreciated his candor and most of all how he made sure I felt comfortable with the approach. Sometimes its not what you say to people its how you make them feel, and Brett made me feel good and protected as he represented me. Thank you again Brett for everything and if you need a team of Attorneys to help and take care of you, who will have your back, and who will make sure you are well represented, Give Feinstein & Mendez a call, you won't regret it.

I was very satisfied with the help provided by Julio Morales. I worked with him on a probate case and everything was done over the phone. The probate process was quick and efficiently completed.

Wonderful experience setting up our estate plan! We couldn't be happier with the service we received at Feinstein & Mendez, P.A. Creating an estate plan can feel overwhelming, but Attorney Martha Méndez and her assistant Elvis Acosta made the entire process smooth and stress-free from day one. Ms. Méndez took the time to walk us through every single detail of our trust with so much patience and clarity. We never felt rushed, and she answered all of our questions thoroughly. Elvis was fantastic as well, super responsive, organized, and on top of every detail, making sure we received all of our digital and physical documents promptly. It is such a relief to know that our family’s future is properly protected. If you need estate planning services, we highly recommend this firm. They are professional, transparent, and a true pleasure to work with. — Mario & Rosemary Cohn Excelencia, claridad y profesionalismo absoluto Queremos expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a todo el equipo de Feinstein & Mendez, P.A., y de manera muy especial a la Abogada Martha Méndez y a su asistente Elvis Acosta, por el extraordinario servicio brindado en la elaboración de nuestro plan patrimonial (Estate Planning).

Por su parte, Elvis Acosta se destacó por su eficiencia, pronta comunicación y atención al detalle en cada paso del trámite. Nos sentimos completamente tranquilos y respaldados al saber que nuestro patrimonio y el futuro de nuestra familia están protegidos por verdaderos profesionales.

01

Tell Us Everything.

Your first conversation is a judgment-free deep dive. You leave knowing exactly where you stand and what comes next.

02

Get a Clear Path Forward.

We lay out exactly what's going to happen, when, and why—so you always know where things stand.

03

Get Back to Your Life.

We take it from here. You'll stay informed at every step, but you won't have to manage us. We handle it—so you don't have to.

Three Areas of Law. Everything That Matters.

Your home, your kids, your assets, the people you love most.
These are the things at stake in every case we take on.

Estate Planning

Without one, a judge decides what happens to your assets and who manages your money and medical decisions if you can't speak for yourself. Your family inherits a mess that could have been avoided. We make sure none of that ever happens to you.

Probate

When a loved one passes away, their estate typically has to go through Florida's court-supervised probate process, which can drag on far longer than families expect. We handle every step, so your family can focus on healing.

Family Law

The decisions made early in your case shape everything that follows. Miami-Dade's courts move fast, and the wrong move at the start is hard to undo. We know these statutes, we know these courts, and we use that to protect you.
