David was great in helping my boyfriend and I close on a house. He is a very patient man and very helpful in understanding that my boyfriend preferred to email/text instead of call. During the closing process, David helped us understand how everything works in layman's terms. He also made sure to check in every now and then to see if the lenders would push through earlier, but again, David was very patient even when we were not. Overall, David Liberty is the guy to go to when you want something done. He does well in explaining everything and will make sure that you are getting what you need/want for a good reason. I thank those who introduced me to David Liberty since he is a genuine man to work with.

I was referred to Robert 6 months ago and was not disappointed. On my initial consolation with Robert, he took the time to clearly explain the Chapter 13 process. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and made me feel that I knew him for years. He makes himself available to handle any questions that you may have. He checks in and remains in contact with you even after case is confirmed. If I could give 10 Stars I would.

I was in a very difficult situation where I purchased a house during the pandemic that was tenant occupied. The tenants barred me from conducting a professional inspection prior to purchase due to Covid concerns as one tenant was elderly. Against my better judgment, I purchased the house without a professional inspection and had to wait over a year after purchasing for the tenants to “feel comfortable enough” to allow an inspection. Had my insurance company not requested it, I don’t think they would have allowed it at all. Upon inspection, we discovered very extensive damage caused by negligence on the tenants part. Half of the kitchen was required to be demolished all the way down to the crawl space. After completing the work, I hired an attorney to represent me in an eviction on the basis of waste caused to the property. This attorney mishandled my case in every way imaginable. From being impossible to get ahold of, missing court deadlines, misplacing evidence, rejections of filings due to simple clerical errors, filing paperwork under my name for other cases, etc. I became so overwhelmed and ill with stress that I searched for a new attorney to substitute. I consulted with about 15 lawyers total and Tiffany Travillion was by far the best. She took on my case even though it was going to be difficult based on the errors and negligence in filings from my previous counsel. Not only was she thorough and promptly up to speed on everything, she was incredibly easy to get ahold of and really went the extra mile when she took the time to assure me, an anxious emotional mess, that she would not mishandle my case like my previous attorney. I finally had peace of mind and that meant the world. She kept me informed in real time on the status of my case and filings. She was easy to talk to and I finally felt like someone had my back. Her staff are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. We worked on this case for nearly a year and in the end, she won my case and got my house back. I was months away from having to cut my losses and sell my house at a huge loss. I can’t thank Tiffany and her team enough. I don’t know where I would be without them.

My recent experience made me understand that the credit score doesn’t matter nearly as much as the actual information in your credit report, few months ago I decided to buy a home suited for my family. I didn’t have the best track record with funds in my past and my credit profile was faulty, as expected my application got turned down. This is both a recommendation and an appreciation of the good job that PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST did for me. After reading various testimonies I decided to give them a trial. And believe me when I say they were up to the task as they cleared all the repos and negative items from my report. My report is squeaky clean. My score is now 803 this might sound sketchy but PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is a life saver, it’s almost like a miracle. MAIL:

With Age Comes Wisdom. Going through this process, I invested a good amount of time to look for the very best & professional Bankruptcy Attorney. I could not afford to make a mistake. After a thorough research, Neil Crane & Associates came up as the best option. It's not easy to change the direction of your life; and this is a stepping stone that should be carefully done with an experienced professional. In my case, I worked with Neil Crane & Audra Buckland. I truly appreciated Audra following up on my case; she managed this stressful process, removing the complexities and make it more manageable for me. By far, both of them; the most human & efficient people. I highly recommend "Law Offices of Neil Crane, LLC".

I would highly recommend Attorney Neil Crane, especially in the area of real estate Foreclosures, where his talent was utilized. Within the last 40 years, I have retained no less than a dozen attorneys from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., one of whom successfully represented me in a Connecticut “Supreme’ Court” case. During those years I found only one other attorney that stacked up to Attorney Neil Crane’s ability and tenacity. He was a labor attorney in Washington, D.C. with an AVVO rating of 10.0. Attorney Crane brought a foreclosure action (on my wife’s and my behalf) within the speed of light (that’s 186,000 miles per “second”)! Along with other tactics, he legally finessed the other side to settle our issue in a most favorable outcome. He is an example of pure work. Since “a lawyer’s time is her/his stock in trade,” it is important to the client’s wallet to retain an attorney who not only is extremely expert in her/his field, but also possesses a tireless work ethic and most importantly---has a high degree of integrity. If one does their due diligence, I believe one will find that Attorney Neil Crane fits that bill. As of attorney Crane's support staff: "birds of a feather DO flock together." We communicated often with Debbie, Irene, Lisa and Stuart to name just a few of his staff . You can expect to be in constant contact with your appropriate advocates via email and/or telephone.

Neil Crane and his team are the best. I was forced into signing my mother into a nursing home. They told me only my mothers assets would be affected. They lied they took her house and wanted mine as well even though my mother had nothing to do with my house. My husband had a heart attack and other things that caused him to be disabled and not be able to work anymore. My job after 30 years was outsourced I got behind in my mortgage and they were going to foreclose. Neil and his staff helped me keep my home. I am truly grateful. Also a special shout out to Audra.

I was very reluctant to hire a bankruptcy attorney, for a few reasons. First, there's a service in the internet that takes you through the whole process for free (although you do the filing yourself). Second, too many "attorneys" out there. Well, the best decision I've made lately was to hire Stephen. He's very knowledgeable and supportive, and (very important!) ALWAYS replies back in a timely manner. And his fee ended up being more than fair for the peace of mind I had through the whole process. Well, I got discharged! Thanks Stephen!

I engaged Mr. Orchard's services initially because I received a court document naming me as a defendant in a foreclosure action. Having no idea that I was attached to the property, I needed a local attorney's help, as I live in a different state. Mr. Orchard patiently explained the legal meaning of the documents to me (actually more than once). Further, in assessing the implications of the documents and their impact on me, I had to share very personal and emotional family issues of estrangement and family wounds. Previously, I hired a PI to assist with the family issues, but he turned out to be a scammer. I hired a different atty years before for the family issue, who provided bum advice, blew through the retainer, and said that was all he could do. I contacted the sheriff's office, who said there was nothing they could do. I was ready to surrender. Long story short, Mr. Orchard was able to assist in discovering the familial information I was seeking and absolutely needed (and failed to obtain), and continued to work patiently with me to educate and coach me on the legal recourse I had with respect to the foreclosure. Additionally, I found him to be extremely fair and reasonable regarding the retainer I paid and the manner in which it was used. His services began in April, 2021, and effectively ended in August 2022. Throughout this time, Steve communicated with me regularly, kept me informed regarding actions taken and actions needed, and represented me in an honest and dependable manner. In fact, I trusted him completely, and felt he always acted in my best interest. In reality, he went out of his way to ensure I received the surplus funds I deserved from the foreclosure. Plus, he did all of this work over a 16-month period ON A CONTIGENCY BASIS! He even consulted with other attorneys that specialized in a completely different area of law (that was a factor in the claim) in order to ensure he was advising me correctly. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Orchard again, and you shouldn't either. If you are looking for an attorney that sees you instead of your money, I highly recommend Mr. Orchard. I found him and his lawfirm to provide excellent service, sound and helpful advice, and to have the best ethical integrity of any lawyer I've engaged!

My son Officer Michael Weiskopf of the St. Petersburg Police Department went in to the hospital with Covid 8/1/21 and his wife would not let us have any contact with Michael. She would not let us text him, call him, face-time him or visit him. She told the nursing staff not to give us any information on my son's condition. If we wanted any updates, we would have to go through her. She was giving us erroneous information and that is when we found our Guardian Angel Matt. Matt worked miracles and we were then able to get correct information on my son's condition from a reliable source. He also helped us get an object in my name that Mike's wife didn't want to give us, even though it was her husband's wishes that his brother have this object. My son's wife never told us that my son died and that there was a funeral planned by the St. Petersburg Police Department. Matt is one of a kind. He is compassionate, kind, caring, sensitive and is a super Professional. He knows his craft and he gets things done. If I lived in Florida, he would become my trusted Attorney. I can't say enough wonderful things about Matt. G-d Bless you Matt for all that you have done for us.

I did a lot of research before hiring an attorney to assist me with the probate process. I ultimately chose Matt because I liked his website. He has plenty of videos that explain “legalese” for people like me who have no idea what it all means and he seemed really involved (something that a lot of attorneys aren’t). It turned out that Mr. Weidner was as involved as he seemed and he didn’t hesitate to answer any one of my million and one questions about what was happening during my daughter’s probate. Even though she had planned out her estate before her death and put everything in order and I had agreed to be her estate executive I have to admit to not having any idea what to do. I had agreed to the role because she asked me to, but luckily I came across Mr. Weidner and he made the whole thing seem much easier than the other lawyers I talked to. In the end probate went well. Actually, it was draining and devastating but the process itself was easier than I thought it was going to be which was one burden lifted. When things have settled down for us in our new life without my daughter, I plan to go back to Mr. Weidner to talk to him about my own estate planning. Now that I’m raising my grandchildren, I have a lot of changes to make and I’m hoping Mr. Weidner can make it as easy as he did our probate.

Scott Needleman went above and beyond to help us. We were an incredibly unique case. We did not pass the means test for a Chapter 7, but Scott went to work and made it happen. Another twist to our story, my mother died the day after we filed. Associated with her death were some payable upon death beneficiary accounts. I called Scott he told me they would be the property of the bankruptcy trustee. The typical attorney would just give up at this point. Scott researched and found court cases in which these types of funds were treated like lottery winnings, they get to keep it. Scott presented his research to the trustee who agreed we could keep this large sum of money. Scott’s work for us made us feel like we won the lottery. Every attorney we interviewed immediately stated we had to file chapter 13 and I have no doubt we would have also lost the money my mother intended for us. Scott will work hard for you.

After trying to handle the Polk County case on my own we kept ending up with no progress. After years of nothing changing Laura has been able to make huge strides in a short time. She gave me her personal cell number and is always reachable directly via call, email or text. During our first strategy call she was already extremely familiar with my case. She offered her opinions and expert advice citing the laws and rules that would fit my situation. There are some things I didn't want to hear such as having to try mediation again but she informed me that we have to be sure to follow the right protocols if we want the right results. I will update my review after the case is closed, but wanted to share with others struggling with a Polk County or nearby case that Laura is more than an attorney and has truly been advocating for me from the start. She even moved her entire schedule to be available for a hearing that had already been scheduled with short notice. She was ready to hit the ground running and I can't recommend her enough. Anyone who has written a bad review about her is obviously upset she represented the opposing party, or wishes she hadn't told them the reality of their legal matter. An attorney can only do what is legal and not everyone likes to be told what they don't want to hear. Laura has been a lifesaver already and I'm so grateful she was willing to take my case on. Do a consultation with her you won't be disappointed.

She wasted no time in diving into my case, and her swift actions yielded results that had previously seemed elusive.Laura's expertise in family law combined with her modern approach to legal matters truly set her apart. She navigated the complexities of my situation with precision, ensuring that I understood each step of the process. Her ability to explain intricate legal concepts in a clear and relatable manner made me feel empowered and informed.Throughout the entire journey, Laura's responsiveness was unparalleled. She not only addressed my concerns promptly but was also available by call or text whenever I had an idea or thought to share. This level of communication instilled a sense of trust, making me confident that my case was in capable hands.In the end, thanks to Laura's diligent efforts and strategic thinking, we achieved a favorable resolution to the partition lawsuit. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support.

Mr. Fleysher is an amazing lawyer who runs circles around the completion in knowing the law, being straightforward, respectful and honest with clients during the one of most difficult and emotionally frightening times in their lives. I immediately felt better after talking to him because he is a so smart, and an unusually genuine and warm person who converses in a direct professional manner and stays focused and interested In the conversation, answering every question, He does not answer his phone or going off on tangents, he’s with you 100%. II feel very grateful to have found him and his firm. 10 stars out of 10..

I cannot express my gratitude enough to the Law Office of Ryan B. Stern! My selling point after calling a few attorneys in the area, is that Ryan not only took the time to patiently listen to the sypnosis of my situation, but actively asked clarifying questions and immediately delivered a winning game plan to my case —and it was! The reason I chose him is because many of my other preliminary attorney phone calls were more interested in discussing fees and costs rather than my case. Ryan was beyond reasonably priced and so heaven-sent for what was otherwise an incredibly stressful time. Thank you, Ryan for being an invaluable legal resource to the members of your community. Incredibly appreciative and thankful for your wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise. I definitely consider myself a lifetime client if and for any future legal needs.

I had something pop up out of the blue, where my wages and/or income tax refund was about to be garnished. I called him up because of his other reviews on here, and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Without any questions or sales pitch, he got straight to the point and gave me advice on the matter while also pointing out other avenues I could explore (potentially saving me hundreds of dollars). Hopefully the matter will be resolved, but if not I will definitely be hiring him! Thanks Ryan, appreciate it!

Michele was my real estate attorney on my first home and she was SPECTACULAR -- not only was she extremely detail oriented and knowledgable but she is very kind as well, I called her with many annoying questions as it was my first time home purchase but she was more than happy to help us at every point along the way. I truly could not have been able to close on my home without her! Extremely grateful and recommend her especially to people that need extra help along the way :) She was a pleasure ! Would use her again (and hope to) in a heartbeat.

My significant other & I hired Michele for the closing on our first home together. It was a difficult situation to manage as the owner was an out of state landlord with a tenant that refused to vacate the property. Michele's expertise in Real Estate law served her well, however, it was her strength of character and relentless drive which got us the keys to our home as quickly as possible. She intellectually sharp, detail orientated, helping us to navigate every step of the process by clearly explaining everything in a way that was easy for to understand & fiercely protected our interests. Her team was wonderful to interact with and made the process smooth and easy to manage. Everyone was respectful & made time to take our calls or reply to emails. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism & reliability. We highly recommend Michele's practice for your Real Estate needs.

When I first contacted John Fazzio I was pretty much at my wits end. I had been dealing with numerous alimony issues for close to 10 years with no end in sight. John took the time to address all of my concerns and put my mind at ease. For the first time I felt like someone truly had my back and I could trust that I was in good hands. Even though I didn’t get everything I wanted the overall outcome was a positive one. Although I hope never to need any legal assistance again, if I do I will be most definitely be reaching out to Mr. Fazzio and his team.

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:

    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.

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:

    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.

    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.

    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:

  • 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.
