Hello.  My name is James W. Magaha.   I am a life long resident of Escambia County,  Pensacola Florida.  I have been practicing law for over 24 years.  I would like the opportunity to assist you if ever a need arises for an attorney in Northwest Florida.    My goal and purpose as an attorney is to help my clients better their lives.  My satisfaction in my work comes from knowing I have helped my clients.  It is a priviledge to be an attorney and to be able to assist my clients in a variety of areas of the law.  I offer free phone and office  initial consultations  in the areas of  probate, guardianship, personal injury and criminal law.  I offer legal services in other areas as well.

 I am a Pensacola, Florida lawyer attorney.  However, my practice allows me to be a Milton lawyer, Fort Walton Beach lawyer and Destin lawyer. 

 I am a Pensacola Florida probate lawyer attorney.  In probate law, I can help administer estates efficiently and economically.  I can also help avoid probate. 

 I am also a Pensacola Florida estate planning lawyer attorney.  I can draft all the documents needed to effect an estate plan such as a will, power of attorney, medical surrogate, living will, designation of preneed guardian, revocable trust, irrevocable trust and living trust.  Most complete plans for an individual are under $950.00.  

 I am also a Pensacola Florida guardianship lawyer attorney.  The need for an experienced guardianship lawyer is increasing in our aging population.  I have trial experience which can be invaluable in contentious cases.  Florida guardianship law allows attorney fees and costs to be paid from the Ward’s assets when services have been rendered to the ward or the guardian on the ward’s behalf. 

 I am also a Pensacola Florida criminal lawyer attorney.  When I first started practicing law in 1984, I was a prosecutor in the Pensacola State Attorney’s Office.  I have experience trying many jury trials.  My trial experience has assisted in all areas of law that I practice. 

 I am a Pensacola Florida real estate lawyer attorney.  I can prepare deeds, mortgages, promissory notes, sales contracts, security agreements, UCC-1 documents, and other real estate related documents.  I handle real estate litigation or lawsuits including cases involving a boundary dispute, a partition, a revocation of deed, foreclosures, title insurance claims, landlord and tenant evictions, and other general actions.  I do charge an initial consultation fee for real estate matters, but I will apply the charge to the attorney fee if I am retained to represent on the case at the consultation.

 I am a Pensacola Florida personal injury lawyer attorney.  I handle automobile accidents cases and slip-and-fall cases.  There is no charge for the initial consultation.  I typically will handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis in which no fee is due unless a recovery is made.

 I am a Pensacola Florida corporate and business relations lawyer attorney.  I can form Florida corporations, Florida limited liability companies and Florida partnerships.  I can draft shareholder agreements and buy-sell agreements.

We are a debt relief agency.  We help people file for relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
