Testionials

“I witnessed, with awe, Darby’s skill, integrity, and advocacy when she compassionately guided the spouse and physician of her dying client “to listen” to the client’s wishes when they could no longer speak for themselves. Even though it was hard to hear, Darby patiently discussed the client’s decisions regarding their end-of-life care.
It was a poignant reminder of why we need an experienced advocate in our lives during a crisis. It’s not always just the family member who needs to be helped, it can also be the professional care team too.”

“My practice as a trusts and estates lawyer spans nearly four decades both as a partner at international law firms and as President of my own firm. I have worked with and known Darby for much of that time. She brings vast knowledge and caring service to her elderly clients and their families. Her integrity is beyond reproach and her leadership style of “patient relentlessness” delivered with a caring mindsight has provided safe harbor for so many of the elderly I have worked with and observed over the years. She understands the elderly and their families and offers true and precise advice to clients who face the challenges, both physical and mental, of aging gracefully. When these challenges surface late in life, families need honest help and a plan of action; a field general who knows what’s coming next and who can lead the troops safely across the open fields. Darby fills this role with aplomb. She is truly a hero in my book.”

Darby Jones has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most trusted, informed and experienced professional fiduciaries in the State of Florida. Several of our clients have engaged Darby to assist them with fiduciary and care services, and in each of those situations she has proven herself to be an invaluable resource and advocate.

“First impression of Darby Jones – as a fellow member of the Executive Council of the Real Property Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar – turned into a lasting impression. A lasting impression of a highly talented, committed, and dedicated professional fiduciary – employing years of experience as an estate-planning attorney, bank trust officer, and bank vice president – providing invaluable fiduciary services to clients – with kindness. It has been a pleasure representing Darby and witnessing her service as a court-appointed guardian, personal representative, curator, and special fiduciary for years.”

“Darby always puts her client’s desires first in every situation. She is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. When you need someone to fight on your behalf, Darby is the one. She cares for her clients just as she would her own parents. It has been an honor working with her and her clients for years.”
