Firm Overview

Personal Injury Litigation, Criminal Defense, and Divorce

Contact a skilled trial attorney at Makofka & Makofka  in Jacksonville if you need help with a personal injury claim, divorce or other family law problem, or criminal defense of felony or misdemeanor charges.

We're a family operation that combines the skills of Lester Makofka, who has practiced law in Florida for nearly 35 years; his son David A. Makofka, now in his tenth year of private practice; his son Aaron Makofka, who has recently joined the firm and Lester's wife Anita Makofka, who serves as the firm's paralegal and administrator.

Because our family relationships are so closely woven into our professional work, we are quick to see how your legal problem can affect your family as well. Obviously, divorce cases directly involve the dissolution of family relationships between spouses, but we work to protect your continuing relationship with your children in divorce and paternity cases while at the same time protecting your material interests.

Similarly, personal injury cases--especially those resulting in disabling or fatal accidents --can change families forever. We do our best to help you and your family through the crisis of a serious injury case while we work to maximize your compensation in the courts.

Criminal cases can have serious and lasting consequences for families as well. Nothing damages a family quite like a long prison term, and even criminal cases with relatively minor penalties can put enormous strains on family relationships. We can help you deal with those pressures while we work to eliminate or reduce your exposure to criminal punishment.

Whether your case involves civil litigation or criminal defense, we do our best to keep you informed and engaged about your rights, your strategic options, and the progress of your case through the justice system. We pride ourselves on the premium we place on accessibility and prompt client service. Our lawyers return calls quickly and we're always ready to answer your questions or clear up a point of confusion.

We handle civil and criminal cases both at trial and on appeal. For more information about what we can do in your case, contact Makofka & Makofka in Jacksonville.
