Introduction

Attorney Alexander Karantzalis earned an Avvo Clients’ Choice Award in 2022, recognition that originates with client reviews rather than peer nominations or bar association committees. The Law Offices of A.K. Esquire PLLC, also known as A.K. Esquire Legal Services, operates out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and covers a broad range of legal needs: estate planning, real estate, probate, business law, and personal injury. The breadth of the practice means clients in Broward County can address multiple legal matters with a single attorney rather than managing relationships with several separate firms.

The firm’s phone number is 954-548-3558. The website is akesquire.com/.

Practice Areas

Estate Planning

Estate planning documents establish what happens to a person’s assets and health care decisions when they are no longer able to make those determinations themselves. The firm assists clients in drafting and executing the full suite of planning instruments:

• Wills, which direct the distribution of assets and, where applicable, designate guardians for minor children
• Trusts, which can provide for asset management during life, transfer assets outside of probate at death, and protect beneficiaries who are minors or have special needs
• Advance directives, which record a person’s wishes regarding medical treatment if they become incapacitated
• Powers of attorney, which authorize a designated person to manage financial and legal affairs on behalf of the principal

A properly drafted estate plan reduces the administrative and legal burden on family members after a death or incapacity and ensures that the client’s intentions are carried out.

Real Estate

Real estate transactions and disputes require an attorney who understands both contract law and the specific regulatory and procedural requirements that govern Florida property transactions. The firm handles real estate matters for buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners across a range of transaction types and disputes.

Probate

When a person dies with assets titled solely in their name, those assets typically must pass through probate before they can be distributed to heirs. Florida has specific probate procedures depending on the size and composition of the estate. Karantzalis guides clients through formal administration, summary administration, and ancillary proceedings for out-of-state property owners with Florida assets.

Business Law

The firm provides business law services for entrepreneurs and established businesses operating in Florida. Business legal needs include entity formation, contract drafting and review, and the legal aspects of ongoing operations. Having legal counsel familiar with Florida business requirements reduces the risk that organizational or contractual gaps create larger problems later.

Personal Injury

The firm also handles personal injury claims for clients who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of another party. Florida’s tort system has specific procedural requirements and damage rules that apply to these cases, and Karantzalis represents clients through that process.

Client Focus

Clients at different life stages often need different combinations of the firm’s services. A first-time homebuyer may need real estate representation and, having completed that transaction, may want to set up a basic will. A business owner may need entity formation help and also want to put an estate plan in place that accounts for their business interests. The Law Offices of A.K. Esquire PLLC can address those overlapping needs without requiring the client to engage a different law firm for each matter.

The Avvo Clients’ Choice Award signals a track record of responsiveness and client satisfaction. For potential clients evaluating attorneys, that independently generated feedback provides a data point beyond the firm’s own marketing.

FAQ

What is included in a complete estate plan?
A comprehensive estate plan typically includes a will, one or more trusts (if appropriate to the client’s assets and goals), an advance directive stating medical treatment preferences, and a power of attorney authorizing someone to manage financial and legal matters if the client becomes incapacitated. The firm can advise on which instruments apply to a specific situation.

What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs the distribution of assets after death but must pass through probate before taking effect. A trust holds assets during and after life and can be structured to transfer property without probate, sometimes providing privacy and speed advantages. Both instruments have distinct uses, and they are often used together in a complete estate plan.

Does the firm handle both residential and commercial real estate matters?
The research data available does not specify which types of real estate matters the firm handles. Contacting the firm directly at 954-548-3558 will provide clarity on whether your particular real estate matter falls within the firm’s scope.

What is the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award?
The Avvo Clients’ Choice Award is determined by client reviews submitted through the Avvo legal directory. It is not a peer-nominated or bar association award. Alexander Karantzalis received this award in 2022.
