Is the Florida Estate Lawyer Getting Paid Too Much?

Is the Florida estate lawyer getting paid more than they should? How much should the estate lawyer, or the probate litigator representing the personal representative, be compensated? According to Florida law, what are reasonable fees for the estate lawyer to obtain?

John Pankauski, managing partner at Pankauski Hauser PLLC is experienced with representing beneficiaries of Florida estates who believe that the estate attorney is getting paid too much. In fact, John Pankauski, and his colleague Alex Briggs, spent the entire day in trial yesterday, February 23, 2017, arguing this issue in front of Judge Coates in Delray Beach, FL. After a full day of calling witnesses and presenting evidence, they now wait for the judges ruling. Aggressive probate litigators, like John Pankauski and Alex Briggs, frequently handle trials regarding attorneys fees. These trials require them to be extremely knowledgeable about Florida law and the Florida Probate Code. To read more about the compensation of the personal representative of a Palm Beach estate, you need to read Florida Statute 733.6171. If your Florida probate matter involves a revocable trust, you will also want to read Florida Statute 736.1007.

If you are in need of an aggressive, yet professional, trial attorney, please consider interviewing Pankauski Hauser. John Pankauski would be happy to speak with you personally. Our number is (561)514-0900 Ext.101.
