I was recently represented by the very best law firm in Brevard county. Rick Canina is kind, caring and was ALWAYS available. Rick and his family made my dream a reality and now I'm home with my loving boyfriend and family. He is very well respected by the Judges as well as the prosecuters and is passionate about what he does. I know without a doubt that I would have been behind bars for a few years if it wasn't for him. Rick is a God send and is compassionate and devoted and for the people. Thank You for always being honest and transparent with me.... God Bless....

Rick is a fantastic lawyer and human being.
I was not a client but a witness for one of his clients. It was my first time dealing with the justice system and I had no idea what the process was or what to expect. He took great care to help me and gave me all the tools I needed to be a good defense witness.
His client was very happy with his work too , as she walked out of jail later that day.
If I ever need a criminal defense attorney, he will be the only one I call.

Rick and his family law firm were nothing short of a gift from God (this coming from an Atheist). Professional and an amazing “bedside manner” barely begin to describe the manner of service he and his family provided to mine. Not only the manner of service, but the quality of legal representation provided *literally* the best outcome for our case, far beyond what we had accepted as our “best case” scenario.
Communication was effortless and timely; e.g. I was able to provide vital case documents via email after scanning them from a tablet. This might sound like a small detail, but for someone

I was recently represented by the Canina Law Firm. As it is a family practice, I was represented by just that, the Family. They were extremely professional, informative, realistic with case outcomes, straightforward, kind, compassionate, and caring. I cannot say enough great things about this Law Firm. They spoke with me not just about my case but who I was as a person and what I was trying to do with my life. I believe by getting to know me a little better they were able to try my case in a way that got the best possible outcome. I was offered a plea by the DA right away. With the case info and

I have had many occasions where I’ve needed legal advice or legal counsel and I’ve ALWAYS called The Canina Law Firm. Rick (the son) has helped me tremendously on multiple occasions.

They are always easy to reach in your time of need. There’s been several occasions where they gave me the legal advice I needed with no questions asked. The level of service they provide is invaluable. Honest and trustworthy. Thank you to the Canina Family for
