Makofka & Makofka, Attorneys at Law

Dave Makofka is the best lawyer that's ever represented me in a court of family law. His knowledge, expertise, patience and understanding plus his incredible determination puts him high above the rest and unfortunately I've had many dealings with attorneys. He is very personable and timely. I have recommended him to several of my friends and relatives as well. Kudos to you Dave! Keep up the great work!

Hiring David as my attorney was the best decision and investment that I made! At the beginning of my divorce I was working with another local attorney, and after a disappointing two months, I switched to David and the Makofka and Makofka Law Firm and I am so glad I did. My case was very complicated, spanning the better part of 2.5 years and involving a highly contested relocation as well as a year long social investigation, just to name a couple big aspects (there were plenty others over the course of 2.5 years). I am a pilot in the military, which military divorces can be tricky at times. My ex-wife attempted to take our daughter and move back to her childhood home with her parents in Arizona. David was not only successful in reversing this and having my daughter returned to the State of Florida (if you have not lived through this or are not a family law attorney then it is probably hard to understand, but this was a very big deal that we were able to reverse this), he was also able to achieve equal custody and timesharing for me and my daughter. He was very good in the courtroom, was able to think on his feet, put in the time to know my case inside and out, and was able to perfectly convey my arguments to the Judge in a way that most cannot. Most importantly, he developed a custom tailored plan of attack for my case and then carried it out. He also spent countless hours preparing me for court. If you hire David, do not expect to go through this alone. What makes David an extraordinary attorney is his ability to care about his clients. He went through the emotions and lived the hell I endured with me, which I am extremely grateful for. Sometimes he was more fired up than I was. Most attorneys collect a paycheck but don’t really care how your particular situation ends up. I felt like David genuinely cared and was not going to accept an outcome less than what we set out to achieve. In this business, finding someone who cares in that way is truly priceless and worth every penny when you are talking about a relationship with your child. From my experience, divorce can be an extremely complicated and emotionally charged situation and sometimes you do not know where to start or what to do. You need someone with a plan who will be there every step of the way. I truly owe my relationship with my daughter to him. He held my hand and guided me from start to finish and I know I would not have got the result I did if I had not hired David. By hiring David I also benefited from him working with his brother Aaron and his father, both of which are seasoned family law attorneys. He was able to bounce ideas off of them about certain aspects of the case which was a valuable resource and I appreciated that. I will forever be grateful to David and his firm for his dedication to fight on my behalf. Additionally, he and his firm did not miss a beat as the COVID-19 pandemic ran its course in uncertain times right in the middle of critical times of my case. I would recommend David to anyone who is looking for an attorney who will fight on your behalf and do it with integrity and respect. If you are military I would also highly recommend him. And finally, I would especially recommend him if you have complicated issues in your case as I did. Not every divorce is created equal. Neither is every attorney. There is not a better attorney out there than David for any situation.

Aaron was very easy to work with. He has always helped me over the years with various questions and situations I have experienced over child support. He is very busy, and for good reason, but he always took the time to talk to me if I had any concerns. He has got a little fire in him, which was great!! I really appreciate him, and my case went very smoothly. He was very patient, fair and professional. The Makofka firm is a real class-act! Thank you again Aaron for all of your help! I have recommended him to other women and will continue to do so. Also, big shoutout to Brittany, their paralegal who also was always willing to talk to me about any questions I had! God Bless!

You represented my husband, requested a $15 thousand non refundable retainer and I think you treated him more like a victim than a client and did a terrible job

Straight talk + real experience and professionalism + prompt, empathetic customer service = genuine peace of mind and excellent outcomes! This team put me at ease from Day 1, answered all my questions and concerns with clear language, leveraged their experience and knowledge, and delivered a better-than-expected outcome. Thank you, M&M!
