We contacted Dana after researching attorneys local to us in Florida. After reading her reviews, we spoke to the office and made an appointment. We were very pleased with both her office staff, who were pleasant and efficient, and herself. Dana took time to explain complex legal processes and eased our apprehensions that we had prior to speaking with her. She is very professional and personable at the same time. We recommend Dana to anyone who needs competent legal counsel.

I had the opportunity to work with Dana Gerling to create a trust upon my becoming a resident of Florida in 2019. She was detailed, explained everything, made recommendations and handled all the details. I felt very comfortable with her and her staff. Subsequently I had to go to probate on my husband's estate and she handled all of the paperwork very efficiently and in a caring manner as the probate work had to be done in concert with an estate litigation attorny. Ms Gerling worked in concert with the litigation attorney and all documents were sent to me electronically in a timely manner as I had gone back to NJ for the summer of 2020. Her administrative assistant, Ms. Howser, kept on top of all documents that had to be signed and would call me to follow up. In spite of the angst of probate, Ms. Gerling was extremely helpful and got the job done.

We could not be happier with the service we received from Dana and her entire staff. From the first consultation to the document signing they were extremely professional and attentive to our wishes and needs. They took the time to explain all the documents to us and were readily available to answer any questions by phone or email. We were referred by a friend and would definitely recommend their firm.

Mrs. Gerling was recommended to me after I went through a divorce and needed to do some estate planning as a single person. Her staff was so friendly and efficient. Mrs. Gerling explained everything to me that was easy to understand. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. And their fee was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Mrs. Gerling and Affordable Attorney!!
