Long, was the first person my brother and I found online when my dad was dying. And truthfully, we didn't know a thing about the process or probate. We were from different states and the rules in Florida were new to us. Long and his team could not have been more helpful. He helped guide us through the probate process and took care of us every step of the way. I can't say enough good things about his professionalism and support through a difficult process.

True no-pressure consultation. In dealing with my mother’s estate (or lack thereof) I only needed a 15-minute consultation with Mr. Duong. His is true to his statement about finding out if probate is necessary or if alternative solutions are available. I was drawn to his matter-of-fact information on the website that didn’t have the slant of “you must do this fast, and you must have a lawyer.” The ability to speak directly with the attorney and not have to filter through a sales pitch or commitment was a pleasant surprise, and at no point did I feel “small” in making my inquiry. It was more like a neighbor giving the best advice they can to get you in the right direction. At the end of the call, I had a better understanding of the Florida estate system and a good idea of how my family needed to move forward. If my circumstances needed more elaborate care, I would reach out to Mr. Duong again. I greatly appreciate his time and how kindly he addressed my questions.

I searched near and far for a lawyer to assist me with probate. I cannot even describe how amazing LD Legal is. They are professional, and kind. They answered all of my questions and were super quick in probate. They are amazing. I would recommend them to everyone.

Attorney Duong handled a probate matter for my family with excellence and professionalism in 2018. As a result, I am contacting him in August of 2021 to handle a guardianship matter. Very responsive, knowledgeable and gets the matter resolved. J. Gibson Esq.

Mr. Long H. Doung, Esq. helped my husband and I out tremendously. He was quick to act in helping us with my husband's Mom's house. He gave us valuable information through a consultation. He was a wonderful communicator as in how to handle our probate. If you need a reliable lawyer who cares then he is the one for you. He went above and beyond to assist in getting the job done. I'm so impressed with how he was able to get paperwork done efficiently. Thank you LD Legal, LLC. Your service was very much appreciated!

I do not normally leave reviews unless I can honestly leave a one star or a five star, there is no in between for me. With that being said, Mr. Duong absolutely deserves a five star review as I was completely taken aback by his benevolence and honesty after just the free consult into my probate case. He even went as far as to advise me to wait a couple years based on my specific case because he felt that it would be unjust to take my case at this time. That kind of chivalry is rare and I wholly respect that.

My mom passed away in November suddenly. There wasn’t a will and my only sibling and I were clueless as what to do. After shopping around for probate attorneys we decided upon ld legal. They were very professional in talking to me, provided excellent information, and the rates we were so reasonable. The process took barely 3 months and they were emailing me throughout giving me updates. Once closed they provided the necessary paperwork along with thorough instructions as to next steps. I am so grateful for their care and professionalism. Grieving is so difficult under stress but Long didn’t add to the stress but actually helped. I definitely recommend.

Long worked with my mother to put together her estate planning documents. He was imminently patient with her and answered her question with kindness, compassion, and in everyday language that gave her confidence in what can be a confusing process. Our family will continue to work with Long for all of our estate planning needs.

Called to get a consult on administrative letter. Paying for legal services would not be practical as court fees and legal fees would barely cover the amount trying to recover I was told. Long quickly suggested an alternative that I could pursue that would not require me to obtain Attorney but was just as effective. Great guys and I recommend them to anyone. Thanks for the advice.
