"Monica at Offredi at Forrest & Forrest along with the entire Team were amazing! With her deep knowledge, professionalism, and expertise, Monica guided and educated me clearly with attentiveness, every step of the way from initial consultation to completion of the divorce case. She handled my complex situation with grace and compassion during a very stressful and challenging time in my life. She understood my priorities and was willing to be flexible and work with me on various aspects of the case. I am truly grateful to Monica and could not have achieved the final outcome without her!"

"I hired Mr. Daniel Forrest from Forrest and Forrest in Fort Lauderdale upon referral from another attorney I used previously for a different matter. His professionalism, knowledge and caring attitude towards myself and my case was beyond approach. He had assisted me in my alimony modification/termination from a divorce over 12 years ago that I was still paying on. We met on various occasions to discuss my case and the recommended strategy for a successful outcome which did come to fruition. Mr. Forrest and his staff are amazing in helping resolve your questions, concerns, and I they have my highest recommendation. Forrest and Forrest is your go to team!"

"I cannot thank Mr. Forrest enough for his exceptional support and guidance throughout my divorce. From the very first consultation, he was very professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made a difficult and emotional process so much more manageable with his clear communication, strong advocacy, and unwavering dedication to my best interests. Every step of the way, I felt heard and supported. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is not only skilled but truly cares, I highly recommend Daniel Forrest and his team."
