About Family Life Law

Serving Miami-Dade county for decades

You deserve an attorney who listens before they advise.

Our Commitment to Your Success

These matters—your estate, your home, your family—aren’t just legal issues. They’re the things that matter most. Martha and Brett have spent decades in Florida courts helping families navigate exactly what you’re facing, and they built this firm around one simple idea: the right plan starts with truly understanding your situation.

Martha Mendez

Managing Partner

Martha is an experienced attorney with ten years of practice, known for her dedication to guiding clients through life’s most important legal transitions. She began her career as a secretary working alongside Brett (her current law partner), gradually advancing into a paralegal role before earning her Juris Doctor. That hands-on foundation shaped the practical, client-focused approach she brings to her work today.

Martha concentrates her practice in elder law and estate planning, helping individuals and families protect their assets and prepare for the future with confidence. She also handles real estate matters, assisting buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants with a wide range of issues. In addition, Martha has successfully represented clients in family law, including divorce, custody, support, and property division.

Martha holds an undergraduate degree from Florida International University and earned her law degree, graduating cum laude, from St. Thomas University School of Law.

Outside the office, Martha enjoys boating, kayaking, and traveling. She is happily married and the mother of three children, who remain her greatest motivation and inspiration.

Brett Feinstein

Senior Partner

Brett obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia and his law degree from Emory University School of Law. Now entering into his 34th year in practice, Brett has developed a niche practice in serving as outside General Counsel for a myriad of corporations and individuals, handling all of their day-to-day transactional, litigation, and family law litigation needs. His practice areas include civil litigation and transaction, condominium association and third-party purchasing matters, federal and state court litigation, gasoline service station litigation and transaction, appeals, and business transaction litigation.

Personally, Brett has served as the President of the Douglas Gardens Mental Health Center Board of Directors and remains on the Board; has co-chaired the Tropical Nights annual fundraising gala for UM/NSU CARD; and was named pro bono Guardian ad Litem of the year.

Brett is married and has three children, is an avid swimmer and tennis player, and works 24 hours a day.
