The BEST
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 everything they learned about me they went back and negotiated a better deal. In fact, it was the best possible deal I could have hoped for. I plan to never have the need for a lawyer again. However, if I do, I will retain the services of the Canina law firm. I recommend this law firm to anyone that wants lawyers to fight for them like you would fight for your own family. Finally, the Canina family law firm has a tremendous respect and devotion for Veterans. Speaking as a veteran, I cannot thank them enough for the services they provided which will allow for my return to military service, the compassion they have shown me, and the gratitude they have given me for my service and desires to return to service. Thank you again Canina family for all that you have done for me!

Stellar Law Firm
I had the wisdom to choose Canina Law Firm in Melbourne, an established law firm consisting of a father and his two children. The considerate time they spent with us to explore our matter and professionalism and knowledge of how things work in that matter brought complete success and we are extremely grateful for their diligence, attentiveness, and keeping us in the loop every step of the way.

Couldn’t be happier!
I found Mr. Canina originally when looking for a criminal defense lawyer on this very site. After reading some of his previous clients reviews, I was excited, yet skeptical. Sounded too good to be true. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t. From the beginning Mr Canina was honest, knowledgeable, and straightforward. All things which can be difficult to find in an attorney. The result of the case was quite literally the best case scenario, and my family and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you to everyone at the Canina law firm for your amazing work!

I was referred to Mr. Canina a few years back and couldn't have been more ecstatic about my experience/outcome. They are hands down the best firm in the Melbourne area. I promise you will not be disappointed no matter what your situation calls for. Don't take the chance, see Mr. Canina

Best lawyer ever
Richard Canina, as well as his daughter and son, worked extremely hard on my case of a felony drug charge as a juvenile after being arrested just a few months prior of the new arrest. Mr. Canina got me the best possible outcome and I now have a chance to get my record clean. Cannot be any more thankful for what he has done.

Phenomenal
Richard and Rick Jr. represented me twice, concerning the same case, and both end results were excellent. Initially I was charged with two very serious felonies which, due to their efforts, were substantially dropped down to misdemeanors. They kept me out of prison and were able to attain mail in probation; a very light misdemeanor probation that prevented me from having to report directly to the probation officer. The second time they represented me it entailed alleged violations of probation consisting of the following; failure to notify probation of leaving the state, consumption of alcohol while on probation, possession of firearms while on probation, and failure to comply with random drug testing. THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. I was released at the arraignment hearing with no further probation, absolutely exhilarating. When you are questioning whether or not to go with this firm realize you will be receiving the following; two generations of exceptional lawyers, lawyers that take the extra steps needed to INDIVIDUALIZE your case in order to make a proper representation, of you, to the prosecutors and the judge, lawyers that pick up the phone to speak with you and console you in reference to your case, lawyers that have been in the business long enough to establish a solid network within the court system.

Ten Star
I hired Richard Canina after I was arrested for a felony. Scared to death and sick to my stomach, facing a 3 year minimum mandatory prison sentence, I consulted with Rick and his son. They were both down to earth, professional, friendly, family oriented and honest about my situation. Got a good feeling about Richard Canina and Rick Jr. so I hired them. From that day on, Rick's door was always open to me for questions I had, my concerns and he always provided me with case updates. He is a wonderful person and an phenomenal lawyer- everyone in his office was just so attentive, educated and professional. I trusted Rick with my life and he worked hard for me and I never had to see the inside of a jail or prison. I highly recommend Richard Canina. He's sharp and he cares unlike a stereotypical lawyer. He literally saved my life and the outcome of my case was a platinum dream come true. All cases are different, but here is a lawyer who will work for you, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.

Gets the Best Results Possible!!!
This guy works miracles! I was coming home from a bar after a pretty wild night and was stopped by the Palm Bay PD. Cop saw a bunch of beers in my car and said I failed all the sobriety test. I was arrested for DUI. I thought it was hopeless after a few lawyers told me I’d probably get convicted and have a DUI on my record. Then I heard about Rick and his son and wound up hiring them because they at least gave me hope. Rick walked me through all the DMV issues and immediately got me a hardship license. They got all the evidence and worked my case for many months. They always made time for me and kept me up to speed on everything about my case. In the end, Rick was able to get me out of the DUI and got the State to reduce the charge to a Reckless Driving! All the good things I had heard about this firm were TRUE. I couldn’t be happier with the result I got. Thank you!!!

Big Help!
Rick couldn't have been more helpful in helping me and representing me in my DUI case. Rick helped me by getting the charges reduced and negotiating the terms of the plea I ultimately accepted. This makes a big difference in the potential total fines and insurance costs! Most importantly, Rick gave me incredible insight into the world of criminal law and the litigation process. Because of Rick's experience, he knew to ask for reductions in some of the probation requirements that most attorneys don't even know to negotiate for. This has helped me fulfill those requirements much quicker! Rick was very dedicated to helping me out during a very stressful time and his knowledge and experience made me feel much more comfortable in making decisions on how to proceed. Rick and his entire office have my sincere thanks.

Incredible Job!
Hired Richard Canina for my daughter who was arrested for multiple felony domestic violence charges. We met with several different lawyers, but Rick immediately stood out among the crowd. Let me tell you: this man is the REAL THING...incredibly intelligent, detail oriented, and caring throughout the entire case. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and cared for his clients like family. Mr. Canina was always honest and straightforward with us. His office has an open-door policy and he always took extra time to answer our questions. When an offer for resolution was made by the State's Attorney, Richard was up front with us and recommended against accepting the State's offer because he wanted to investigate the case more fully. He didn't just rush her into a resolution that she wasn't comfortable with (another lawyer did this with her in the past). Ultimately, after many months of working the case, her charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with no incarceration and no conviction. We are all incredibly grateful for what Mr. Canina and his office has done for us. My daughter now has now gotten her life back together and is doing extremely well. Thank you Rick !!!

I have known Attorney Canina since shortly after having moved to Brevard County. We’ve previously represented codefendants in the same matter. As a fellow Brevard County criminal defense attorney, I am well aware of what it takes to be effective in this field and in this county. Rick has a solid background in criminal defense and has handled a variety of cases. His efforts and professionalism both inside and outside of the courtroom can only serve to benefit his clients.
