When my mom Alice passed away, I contacted Dawn Ellis to help me navigate my way through probate and whatever else.
Dawn put me at ease, held my hand throughout the somewhat intimidating process, was always very responsive to my emails, and always reassuring.
When something didn't sink in, and I asked Dawn...again...to explain something, she never got frustrated and always kept me calm.
When you have to go through this process, Dawn is the most competent and professional person to have on your side.

Dawn is amazing and I am so happy to have found her to work on my mother's estate. Very professional and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for your needs. A+++

Dawn was fantastic assisting me with the process of closing my fathers estate. I was challenged by my location in San Diego and the estate being in Florida but Dawn was able to do everything online with me. I would highly recommend using this service as it was easy and very convenient during a time of sadness and high stress. Thank you Dawn for everything you did for us!

Dawn Ellis is professional, very knowledgeable and patient. She is an exceptional attorney who helped me understand the process in a very sensitive, efficient, way. Dawn was very thorough and kind in handling my mother’s estate. Communication and responsiveness was excellent.

After the death of my husband in GA, we needed help with an inherited rental home in FL. Dawn Ellis with My Florida Probate was fantastic. She filed all the paperwork in the FL courts and had to follow up numerous times because the court personnel weren't doing their jobs. Also, the neighborhood where the home was located required proof of ownership, as did my insurance company. Dawn always followed through with the exact paperwork needed to pacify all parties and helped settle this portion of my husband's estate. I couldn't have done without her. Thank you Dawn!!

When my father died and I was looking for probate lawyer in FL, I was impressed when I spoke with Dawn's husband, whose assessment of the situation and explanation of the flat fee were simple, and spot-on. The other lawyers had lots of open-ended thought experiments, which made me think, "Uh oh, here come almost unlimited billings."

Dawn did a great job - kept us informed, sent us the court filings and decisions, closed up the estate, and kept to the flat fee.

I highly recommend Dawn for her clarity, efficiency, and economy. I think if she could transfer that ethos to other lawyers, the world would be a better place.

My Florida Probate made getting my mother in-law's will though probate easy. Interacting via email was very efficient and the firm was available to answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend this firm.

Dawn Ellis, Esq. is an incredible lawyer and helped me through the difficult probate process for my father's estate. Dawn helped push me through the process even when I was dragging my feet. She did it all with knowledge, compassion and humor. My father passed away in FL and I live in PA, so we navigated this all through emails and phone calls. If you need help with FL Probate you need to go to Dawn.

Dawn was helpful, knowledgeable and fair with my dealings with her through a difficult time. I highly recommend her for probate services.

Perhaps the best Probate Attorney in USA !

If you are after a reliable and trustworthy Probate Attorney who puts their clients first and always endeavors to work in the most efficient and economic way possible for you, then look no further than Dawn Ellis !

When my Aunt died in 2013, I had no idea it would take until 2018 to unravel the complexities of her estate, as a non-USA citizen living in Europe.
As Dawn helped us with one issue, another unexpected element would crop up, creating yet more and more paperwork for both Dawn and us to go through.
Throughout this period Dawn was clear in what we needed to do next, supported us far beyond her mandate, and as the months rolled into years , was as supportive as any Attorney could be.
From her first response to our initial request for help, to following through to completion of the Probate , for my Aunt, Dawn could not have been more supportive and professional.
She was patient to the extreme , answering every tiny question and query we had in a professional manner and just as importantly, quickly. She truly helped us navigate the USA Probate system as a non resident alien living thousands of miles away !
I simply cannot praise her work ethos enough & for the ongoing high level of constant support she gave us over these recent years.
I sincerely believe she must be among st the most sincere, hard working & genuine professional Attorneys in Florida if not the whole of the USA, and we were very lucky to have her support.

I am very grateful for the previous positive reviews that other pleased clients had put on this site, those reviews gave us the confidence to approach her as our Attorney . As you can imagine living so far away & dealing with a Probate as a non resident and non USA citizen was extremely daunting , especially with the complex issues our individual Probate case raised. We spoke often and her responses were extremely quick which at times was vital .
So without hesitation, I can recommend Dawn to anyone who needs her Professional help, support and guidance, as we did - she will stand steadfast to help you throughout the whole process and create calm in rough waters and light at the end of what at times ,may feel like a dark tunnel.
I feel very privileged and lucky to have had her as our Attorney.

Thank you Dawn for all your hard work.

The best! I'm not a FL resident, and Ms Ellis helped me navigate some Fl property. Big five stars.

Efficient , kind and understanding at a time of great stress. Highly recommend this service.

Dawn Pautler has been simply incredible dealing with the probate of each of my parent's estates. She has rapidly responded to all of my inquiries and has anticipated the legal needs associated with both of these situations. She has gone above and beyond what I would have expected. I definitely recommend Dawn Pautler for your legal needs.

Never heard back from her after she sent an email stating she will get back to us. Oh well her loss found another lawyer that has taken care of my probate issue. Good luck

There are not enough stars, five is not enough! Without Dawn’s expert advice and unequivocal dedication I am not sure if we would have been able to work our way through the Probate process.
Working long distance (I am Canadian) on what was an extremely complex and disorganized estate Dawn
was an absolute godsend her patience and guidance went well beyond the call of duty and for that we are deeply grateful. If you need a Probate attorney Dawn is definitely the one!

I can't say enough about Dawn Ellis. She was so efficient and knowledgeable when working with me, even though I live on the other side of the country. I highly recommend My Florida Probate to anyone needing help in the saddest of times.

Dawn with My Florida Probate P. A. is a professional that was a pleasure to work with. In assisting me from beginning to end with applying for executor and all the paperwork and research involved went smoothly. I was worried at first since I live in another county than where the the property was, yet with cell phone and e-mails, it was the same as working with some one in my own city.

I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a Florida Probate P. A.
Thanks Dawn!

A great lawyer that is both knowledgeable and thorough. Gives you good and accurate advice. Would not hesitate to refer clients.

Don't hesitate to call Dawn if you need a good Probate lawyer. She is very helpful and explains everything thoroughly. She's easy to talk to and truly cares about her clients. She made me feel like I was working with a friend instead of an attorney.

Dawn was awesome. Very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services. She was actually recommended to me by other attorneys. If you need probate services, she is the best. Mike

Dawn was outstanding! It couldn't have been a more positive experience. Losing a loved one is hard enough, so having someone who cares in your corner to handle all the legal processes is such a relief!

I thought dealing with my mother’s Florida Estate from Ohio would be an impossible situation, but Dawn Ellis at My Florida Pobate made it an extremely easy process to navigate.

The very best legal experience I have ever had, MyFloridaProbate takes care of everything efficiently, politely, with sensitivity and keeps you up to date along the way. Communication is excellent, knowledge and experience is top notch. I give MyFloridaProbate the highest recommendation.

Dawn Ellis was a pleasure to work with. She handled my brother's estate professionally, efficiently, and quickly. We never met in person as I live in another state but our communication was flawess. I recommend her highly.

What could have been a tedious aggravating experience was made easier because of the expertise of Dawn Ellis.

I would recommend the services of My Florida Probate without hesitation.

Fast, professional service! Excellent!

The best! Highly recommended. Resolved our probate with patience, professionalism and passion. Thanks for all your help. Job well done.

After the passing of my father last year, I realized that we could not just close out his financial accounts and it would need to go into Probate.
I contacted My Florida Probate and spoke with attorney Dawn Ellis.
Mrs. Ellis was very patient and answered all of my questions.
After sending her the requested information, she promptly got back to me to discuss my options.
Mrs. Ellis did exactly what she discussed with me. She kept me informed through the entire process. She was always very pleasant to speak with, and very professional.
I would not hesitate to recommend My Florida Probate for any legal matters and I will certainly use them again should the need arise.

Great knowledgeable service provided in a very professional manner.
You couldn't ask for anything more!

Dawn is terrific. Very efficient and makes you, not only feel but absolutely know your legal affairs are being handled properly.

My process was very personal and Dawn allowed me to focus on the other aspects that i needed to do.

Dawn is such a blessing. She helped and answered my questions. She only wants to help and not take advantage of you during your situation. Give her a call and let her try to help you.

After my father passed away I was lost on how to handle his estate, Dawn Ellis has been like a close friend during this entire process, she has been so kind and caring during this difficult time. I highly recommend her for any of your probate needs.
I spoke to several other attorneys before finding her, all of which were concerned about their financial obligations being met before any "real" discussion could take place. Dawn, was warm and friendly from the beginning, answered all of my silly questions and guided the entire process. Not only is she an outstanding attorney, but she is a wonderful person!

If only my other dealings with attorneys were as professional, productive, and effortless, while remaining compassionate and patient, my disdain for the profession would quickly diminish. Dawn exemplifies what the profession should be about. Thank You for being there.

Dawn, I wanted to thank you for all of your help and guidance though the probate of our aunt's estate. Everything worked out well, and your advice and counsel made the process straightforward and smooth. I really appreciated the time you spent answering my questions. It made an otherwise difficult and anxiety-provoking process tolerable. While I hope that I do not need to go through this process again in Florida, if I do, I will certainly be coming back to you.
