For the past five years Mr. Mark Rubin has represented me in my two decade long divorce proceedings that have cost me more than I care to admit prior to Mr. Rubin taking my case. He has saved me income tax returns that would have been taken by my ex-spouse and even disability benefits as I am one hundred percent disabled. I would love to tell you that this was a one time ordeal but she has attempted this three times to date and will likely try again in the future. If I did not have the assistance of Mr. Rubin I could be homeless and without proper care, he has kept me from being raped by the Department of Child Support Services and my ex-spouse as he knows the laws and he has worked for the Department of Child support services. Taking in to consideration all of these attributes and Mr. Rubin's extremely good nature and willingness to work with anyone, one would be foolish to pass up having him represent them with a man of this character and devotion to his profession. It is with these words that I recommend Mr. Mark Rubin to you for all of your legal matters and say that you will not find a better attorney in the panhandle of Florida to provide legal services.

Negotiated my divorce over and over again with a difficult attorney and ended up getting my child support significantly reduced because I am currently unemployed, got a needed lump sum payment to me for half the equity in the house, and incredibly liberal time-sharing (and shared transportation) with my son (the most important part) even though I am technically outside of the geographic area. Took time explaining things to me probably too many times because most of this stuff is way beyond me - very patient and down to earth. His secretary Lisa is a sweetheart. I would hire him again in a second.

She is the best Attorney I have ever known ! , she went above and beyond and never stopped. My daughter was going through a very rough divorce and had started with another well known law firm and they were so lax and had done a very poor job in representing her . , she was in tears and asking me to help her find a good attorney , I contacted many a discussed the case they all just said come in and we will talk . I then called Ms Harris and she talked for about an hour and was so reassuring , my daughter and I went in and it seemed like she was an angel sent to us by heaven , she took on this case that had already went to mediation and we thought was hopeless , she stepped in and took it all the way to trial , I thought I was watching a movie she took over and just had me in aw , her ex had hived a well known attorney and we thought we were beating a dead horse so to speak but she went in the court room as she did with us before and by the way she always was good in court , and she started off with penalizing the other attorney for not have filed and serving all the proper paper work , ( now remember this attorney was from a lg well known firm ) and that set the stage , they could not speak at all , she then proceeded to present her case for about three hours , it was amazing , it should of been filmed for a how to movie , at the end it was better than expected all of her demands were granted , I just have to say if you don't choose Ms Harris you would be making a big mistake , her daughter is her assistant and is just as good as her mother and together they are the best attorney team I ever ! , they pay attention to all details and it dose make a difference , they gave us peace in our home and saved my grand daughter from harms way , thank you again !!!!!

Throughout the process, I was impressed with his experience and knowledge of the applicable laws affecting my case.

There’s nothing more stressful in this busy world we live in then to find yourself against the wrong end of the law. Court proceedings leave you dazed and confused with how fast they Overwhelm you with unfamiliar language and seemingly endless Punishments and fines for your crime. I was Very impressed with Miss Anderson, her diligence and efforts to research every angle of my case, she also took the time to break down the process and explain each step of the way. I went from hopeless and helpless to comfortable and confident that that with Miss Anderson’s help this will all be a part of my past not a determination of my future. There are still great honest lawyers out there thank you again Miss Anderson.

Not only did she take the time to advise me of the facts, but she explained every step of the process with calm, professional clarity.

Kirsten Ess takes no prisoners when it comes to advocating for her client's rights. Not only has she provided me with amazing legal representation, but she has also represented a number of my family members and my closest friends when they found themselves in need of legal advice and or representation. Kirsten took the time to fully understand my circumstances and she made sure that I understood every possible option available to me. She did not take the path of least resistance like so many other lawyers are prone to do. I pray I never need a lawyer again, but if I or anyone close to me does, I will certainly reach out to Kirsten to save the day!

Ms. Ess came through like a true champion during the entire process. I tried to keep a semi-positive outlook during the first couple of months while locked up...but once she went into action, I was out in less than a week...and with NO probation! I can't thank her enough. With her years of experience in criminal law and felony drug court, she knows how to handle even difficult cases like mine. Thanks again! I hope never to need her for this type of service, but if I do, I will definitely hire her again.

I came to miss Calvert last year, with a domestic violence charge, I had warrants for my arrest, a battery charge, a breaking a court order charge and a vandalism charge, I was scarred as hell! I actually found Miss Calvert on this website, I got in touch and within no time at all I was free of the warrants with no arrest..she then tackled the criminal charges, ( each of witch carried a year In jail, that's 3 years not to mention possible immigration consequences witch could follow ) the DA came back with a. Few pleas, but miss Calvert handled me and the situation swiftly, with skill, precision and a smile! She was able to get just a few anger management classes and the charge will go away, with no possibility a for immigration to then get there hands on me! The best possible outcome is exactly what she gotta. She made my fear go away, she was very communicative and honest with me, I found the way she handled everything, well for no better words, ABSOLUTLY FLAWLESS! If I were the DA in Sacramento, I'd either be sending all my assistant DAs back to Law school or I'd be trying my best to recruit her! ( I'd put money on the DA at some point does try and recruit her ) she has the energy, charisma and skill none of witch I have seen I any DAs office or any law firm for that matter! I can't thank Miss Calvert enough for her work, I actually feel like I have a life again! Thank you SO MUCH miss Calvert! You truly are a ROCKSTAR!!!

This is truly the best lawyer anyone could ever get. My ex had already filed papers and It was Friday when I met and retained Steve. I had court the following Thursday. I was very skeptical as many are when getting a attorney. Steve worked quick and fast. He filed things promptly and quick. I would recommend him to anyone that I know. I am impatient and probably wasn't the easiest client to deal with. Steve was their every step of the way. He explained exactly what was going on every time something would happend and exactly what to do. If you listen and follow what he says then it will go in your favor as it did mine. My custody situation was exhausting and lasted almost 2 years. I got in the end exactly what I wanted. His prices were very reasonable as well. He has been a lawyer forever and has seen it all as he did in my case. I suggest be honest and straight forward and tell him what you would like your outcome to be and he will tell you what to do to make it happen. His assistant Lisa is the sweetest lady ever. If he was busy then she would call and let me know things immed. I couldn't say enough great things about these people and how much they helped my family and children out. Thank you again!

It's very difficult to trump the first two reviews - they pretty much said it all about Caitlin. But here goes... First of all, if you have never been through a divorce before, I pray that if you have to, your soon to be ex will not put you through a contentious battle, most especially if there are children involved. Because believe you me, if you think you have any idea of what lies ahead for you, think again. There is no amount of hyperbole that can describe how insane the family law court system is. The bottom line, it's all about making money off of vulnerable, despondent, and already stressed out people. These lawyers DO NOT care about you, or your children. They only care about running up their bill and making money. They will do whatever they can (often times in collusion with the opposing counsel) to add and/or create even more conflict in your divorce because more conflict means more money for them and their firms. Again, if you think I'm just bitter and exaggerating, go online (Google, YouTube, etc...) and do the research for yourself. An ugly divorce/custody battle often leads to suicide, bankruptcy, loss of job, depression, illness, etc... So please people - don't do this to yourself and most especially please don't do this to your kids! Part ways peacefully, because if you don't, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is why I am glad I used this angel of an attorney throughout the majority of my long divorce/custody battle. She cares about her clients and most especially their children (she's a LMFT to boot!). She is not in it for the money and will do everything she can to save you from a long, drawn out battle. She is honest, empathetic, compassionate and is a person with the utmost integrity. Caitlin will not allow her clients to debase themselves and play dirty no matter how vicious and perjurious the opposition gets. I'm so happy at day's end that I used her for the majority of my long, drawn out battle. For she helped me keep my soul and my own integrity and at day's end, I can look back and be proud someday that I never debased myself (most importantly for my child as well). If you want a mean, nasty bulldog of an attorney (btw, they are really really really expensive!!!) than by all means do NOT hire Caitlin. However, if you are looking for a honest, compassionate HUMAN BEING to help you, then please give her a call. She will always do what's best for you her client. She will never gouge you with fees, and will fight opposing counsel with compassionate logic that sooner or later will break them down. I call her the Mahatma Gandhi of divorce attorneys!

Caitlin Burgess represented me at a settlement conference and did a stellar job detailing the facts to a seasoned judge. Her mannerisms are of the utmost in professionalism and her knowledge of the family law system is vast. Her background in psychology as a licensed marriage and family therapist is an added bonus for there are many aggressive litigants who unfortunately have a pathology which the opposing side must deal with, sometimes in ongoing litigation which lasts for years. Ms. Burgess was able to formulate a tactical plan of approach to settlement, utilizing her expertise in several areas to bring the litigation to a close without causing me to have to shoulder the expensive and time consuming burden of a trial. There is something to be said for representation that is so client-centered. If I could give someone new to divorce proceedings advice, I would caution them to stay away from the big firms and call Caitlin first. I was originally represented by one of the firms in San Jose. They felt a bit like a Mafia; only I, as their client, was the target! I spent a large amount of money with very little result. I found I could do better with an attorney like Caitlin in my corner. The big firms are clearly after people's money in a very high-conflict time between former partners. They actually encourage the aggressive litigant and do as much as they can to pad up their bills. Ms. Burgess is completely against this behavior and practices with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Over the course of her representation, she fought hard and succeeded in winning me the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Ms. Burgess for your legal needs. Call her and schedule a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

My first attorney represented me in family court. I paid over $7,000 and got nowhere! My brother recommended Sandra Spennato so I cut ties with the 1st attorney, collected my files and started again from scratch with Sandra. Immediately, she listened to my current situation, listened to my goals, and put together a custom plan while also managing my expectations on what is realistic in the eyes of NY law. 1st thing she did was a discovery phase (which my former attorney NEVER did) looking at my ex's bank records which put us in a favorable position. She fought hard and in much less than a year (**during COVID**) we had the terms agreed to involving my daughter and my finances. If only I had been introduced to her in the first place, would have been A LOT less stress, a lot less time, and a lot less money wasted. I truly understand the importance of having a smart savvy deal maker that knows the laws inside and out in my corner. Without hesitance, I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra.

I hired Sandra Spennato to help me obtain custody of my son. She is very knowledgeable and also quite the tactician. Sandra did not sell me a dream and false hope. She told me the cold hard truth every time we met and that is what I need. I have experienced lawyers that have sold me false truths and have only been interested in draining my wallet dry. She is nothing like that. I have never met a more understanding and passionate attorney. She understood the circumstances I was faced with in my case and she helped keep my emotions in check. I had to swallow a few hard pills but Sandra always made it tolerable after explaining why swallowing those pills could work in our favor. She has been right so far and I will continue to trust her advise and her knowledge of the law. We’re still working on my case but I trust in Sandra to help me keep fighting for what I hold most dear. MY SON! I’m thankful to have her on my side.

I was referred to Leslie by another DVPO attorney. I have to say never does any attorney work overtime non sleep til morning to meet deadline not because she waited til last min but because she is constantly a step ahead of what is anticipated response from other party. I slept at midnight she worked Graveyard til Noon deadline. My hearing is not here yet for a few days but the preparation this woman does is OUTSTANDING. I didn’t want to write a review now in fear she will be too busy for my case but I thought its only fair to give credit where credit is due. Although I made my retainer minimal I know Leslie has well over exceeded her hours I paid her. But never once she ask for more money. I was hoping she would so I can pay her for her time. :-) happy to! My case got from complex to completely extremely complex. From dvpo to family law to overly complex. My great appreciation to Leslie for working non stop to get it done no matter what it’s takes. that’s a HUGE quality hard to find in an attorney. Whatever the outcome maybe in court I know we have put our BEST FOOT forward. Her details to attention maybe too much BUT it’s necessary because it’s ALL ABOUT FACT FACT FACT to the judge. Not talk.

I met in person and had consulted with Ms. Irwin regarding a custody matter. I found her to be very professional, knowledgeable, sincerely and a great problem solver. She knows family law/DV matters and was a good listener and empathetic to my needs. I would highly recommend Ms. Irwin's services.

I would highly recommend Mr. Odimba For anything dealing with family practice. What I enjoyed was that he stayed on top of everything and if there were any big concerns dealing with the other side he would let me know what's going on and suggest the best route to take. Mr. Odimba was very personable and I felt that he truly had my best interest in mind when it came to negotiating my parenting plan. And being that I live out of state he made it a breeze, because before I hired him I did not have a lawyer and dealing with law issues especially out of state is just a nightmare, he truly took the stress away and made it as easy as possible.

I cannot begin to say enough good things about Carry and her assistant Michael. She guided me through a confusing, frustrating process, gave fantastic advice, calmed me down when stressful incidents happened and helped keep moving things in my case along. Her knowledge of the legal process was top notch. She knew what reasonable resolutions were that a court would reach and that gave me the confidence to reach an equitable solution in mediation. She knew what was worth taking to trial and what wasn't and that helped keep my case out of court. I would re-hire her in an instant.

I have been working with Erin for seven years now. Her commitment to my child’s well-being and her passion for justice make her stand out. She employs a steadfast, earnest approach to high-conflict cases. She is a lighthouse in the storm of family court, remaining ever-vigilant of relevant issues, with prompt, clear communication. She is accessible and well-versed in the law but never talks down to me. And while she is confident, she also actively seeks out case perspectives from other, experienced peers on a regular basis - a humble, resourceful quality which I value. She manages sensitive matters with poise and grace. She uses her time more efficiently than anyone else I’ve ever known. She is a quick study but exceedingly thoughtful in her responses. She also works well with opposing counsel. My child’s father has used five different attorneys over the years and Erin has forged a working relationship with each one. In short, I trust her implicitly and can’t imagine enduring this process without her expert, compassionate presence and due diligence.

After finding myself in a situation where I needed an attorney I was referred to Erin Blower. Erin was a beacon of hope for me at a time when my situation seemed impossible and I would never see a resolution. After my first meeting with Erin I knew she was extremely smart, articulate, had exceptional communication skills, and was also a great listener. I trusted Erin right away and every interaction I had with her after solidified and built that trust. Erin had the ability to communicate to me clearly what was going on in my case, what was coming next, and what I had to do. Her professionalism was incredible. I leaned on Erin for support and watched her as she argued convincingly in the courtroom while displaying great confidence and knowledge in my case like it had happened to her. I felt so powerful having Erin on my side and was very pleased when the ruling was in my favor. More often than not, family law issues and disputes can feel hopeless like you're at war and for me I will never again go into another "battle" without Erin. I highly recommend Erin Blower.

I consulted Ms. Emery on an issue outside her specified field of expertise. She is an excellent listener and asked important, detailed questions to assist me in defining the type of attorney needed and then offered to confidentially seek someone in the field of expertise I desired / needed. In other situations I've known her to assist individuals in unusual circumstances with no-one to turn too for advice or guidance. She cares about family, children and parents, and works for the healthiest outcome for all. Ms. Emery is compassionate and straightforward. I would recommend her services to individuals needing legal assistance in the areas of her expertise.

I admit that throughout my lifetime there has been a few times that I have required legal services. However, not all attorneys rise to the occasion and deserve the recognition that Joseph Fasone does. Not only was Joe affordable and worth every penny spent, but his constant communication, devotion, and ability to perform his due diligence in a steadfast and productive manner were beyond impressive. There was never a time that Mr. Fasone didn’t do everything to make me feel as if my case was of the utmost importance. Mr. Fasone earned my trust and respect to the highest level. If anyone needs an honest, hardworking and committed attorney who will stand by your side to guide you in the most effective way possible then I highly recommend that you choose to do business with the Law Office of Joseph Fasone. Again, many thanks Joe for your impeccable service!

Mr. Donovan was referred to me by a neighbor and friend. I had a great experience with Mr. Donovan and his staff. I am 81 years old, never arrested before so I knew nothing about the courts and how they worked. Mr. Donovan had the patience to work with me, his staff kept me informed and up to date. He advised me in matters that I had never experienced. After six months of anxiety my case was dismissed. A big relief that probably would not have happened had it not been for Mr. Donovan, Mr. Donovan is a man of few words but lots of action behind the scene. Thank you, Mr. Donovan and staff.

When my loved one was charged with a serious crime, my life was turned upside down until Mr. Koury entered it. He told us not to worry because, in his assessment, the accused had simply made a mistake. From the moment we shook hands with Mr. Koury, he eased our fears by assuring us that everything will be okay. We felt as though we had a brilliant lawyer in our family during a nail-biting time we needed his expertise and humanity the most. Mr. Koury cared about us and the future we both faced. This kind man of drive, determination and compassion worked diligently to keep the accused out of jail. He kept us in the loop every step of the way during the oft-confusing legal process. We thank Mr. Koury for saving my loved one's name and reputation so he could continue on the right path. Quite frankly, we don't know what we would have done without Mr. Koury's encouragement, direction, knowledge and trustworthiness. If you ever need to place your life in the hands of another being, Mr. Koury should be your first choice. He treats you like family.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
