Joe Lenti was in charge of our Title transaction on the purchase of our new home. From the very start of the process we did not have a good experience. Our mortgage lender contacted his office office for two plus weeks without receiving a response. Throughout the process Joe felt it was better to argue about how he was right, rather than how to close the transaction on time and without additional cost to us. Our closing was delayed and cost me an additional $700. I expressed my frustration to Joe and asked to be compensated for the delay and additional cost we incurred due to his mistakes, but he refused and told me to go elsewhere if I was unhappy. Unfortunately we were in a rock and a hard place needing to close on the home before we lost our deposit and interest rate lock. I am very disappointed with Joe’s service and unprofessional behavior.

I recently had the displeasure to do business with this "firm." Expecting to do business with a professtional legal office, I instead encountered something more akin to a family run boiler room. Not only was this office extremely unprofessional, but they over billed me for the privelege of doing business with them. In return I received little to no communication, time delays from their end, and demands that I return documents with as little as 3 hours notice. When I decided I could not complete my project at their current snail's pace, I had little choice but to travel a great distance and attempt to do business face-to-face. Unfortunately, I was to be yet further disappointed when, upon my arrival, I found this "professional office" to be locked and closed on a weekday afternoon. In addition, I requested routine documents from their office, both via email and telephone, and ultimately had to retrieve them from their client personally. Perhaps their reluctance in providing me with said documents was because they clearly showed their excessive fees charged to me, easily double the industry standards. On the rare occassion I was able to reach a live person on the phone to voice this concern, I was greated with arrogance, distain, and a complete unwillingness to cooporate.
If you are considering doing business with this firm, I urge you to reconsider. You will save yourself time, money, and headaches.

My wife and i were Looking to modify a child support arrangement and time sharing agreement and found this office. Both the attorney and paralegal were nothing but professional and responsive. Absolutely excellent service and would definitely recommend. Every question was answered and every document sent in such a timely manner. We expected to be going through this process for a couple months and it took only a couple weeks.

I have left several messages wanting a status for my case. I am a struggling single mother and coming up with a retainer over three thousand dollars is no easy task. He makes time to bring you in, and acts so desperate to sign you up like a car salesman. I should of listened to my guts but again when you are desperate...
It been a month and nothing from his office! Stay away!

I was going through a landlord tenant dispute over the return of a security deposit. The landlord was trying to basically ripped me off from money owed back to me that I was legally owed. Within days mr. Lee was able to communicate with the landlord and do what was necessary to get my money. He stayed on top of it and was very professional. I would recommend him and you can again.

I hired Mr. Lee for a housing issue I was having. He told me he would write a letter to the other party indicating the concerns I was having as well as the statute that held them liable. I gave him the statute that i had gotten from another attorney so he didnt even have to look it up. After i hired Mr. Lee he attempted to contact the other party. When they would not respond he told me I needed to contact them and said he would help me write the letter. The letter he helped me write included the wrong statute and he assured me it was a different one that would help me. The letter was very simple, not aggressive or assertive enough for the issue. The other party replied with a response that the statute was invalid which after i looked it up I also found out that was true. Instead of addressing that and writing another letter with the correct statute Mr. Lee proceeded to drop me as his client and tell me he did not have the knowledge to assist me any further. He should have told me that from the beginning. I wasted my money and should have paid more for a better more experienced lawyer. Mr. Lee got me as a client because he seemed like a nice guy but trust me when I say you dont want him as an attorney. I now owe $3600, lost my case, and lost a lot more than that in the process. I had no time to hire another attorney by the time i realized Mr. Lee did not know what he was doing. Mr. Lee could have easily rubuttled to the other party's response with the correct statute and called them out on the laws they were not following. Instead he dropped the ball and left me stranded!!!!! He NEVER did that and thats what I hired him to do. He never should have taken my case and should not be an attorney if he cannot fight for a client's rights. I hope other people see this and do not lose like I did by hiring him.

After a 30 minute telephone consultation with this attorney, he stated he would call me back within 24 hours to provide me with the legal assistance that he claimed he had within "fingertip distance concerning thousands of attorneys" that could help with the issues I had brought to his attention. After I waited over a week for his return call that never took place, I made several calls to his office for him to return my calls. He has never returned my calls. Due to the failure of Reed not to call me back as he stated he would and his failure to return my several calls I would not recommend to anyone to retain him in any capacity. The above facts clearly make this a negative experience for myself due to I have not received any legal assistance at all from Reed or anyone else.

Mr. Reed went above and beyond in making myself and family feel comfortable and at ease with the litigation process. He was tenacious in his efforts on our behalf.

You can't do better than Adam.

Perfect line for this attorney is that he is Robber who extorts money by using his law degree. He is one of the attorney who thinks it’s OK to charge $1500 for 4-5 emails that were exchanged because the crooked HOA he worked as an attorney for refused to take care of any issues and only way to resolve was to get in touch with the attorney and violation was for something that does not even state in CCR’s and he feels totally OK about cheating and never sending any invoices after many requests. Karma has a way to come back to bite you and it will.

I hired Mr. Lee based on a recommendation by another attorney, this was a HUGE mistake. I cannot ever get a straight answer out of him. When working through a settlement, he suggested I settle with the child support the other attorney offered. He stated it was a good offer. What he failed to do was actually run the numbers through the child support worksheet which when all was said and done, I am paying almost $200.00 more a month than I should be. Not only that, but he did not file ALL the required paperwork needed and months later I am paying $500.00 dollars additional every month until the proper documentation is put through the courts. With that said, I call him an average of 3 times a week, his response is always "it will be filed this week". Yet NOTHING is ever filed! The amount of money you loose with this attorney is unbelievable. At this point, I could have hired one of Orlando's top attorneys as every week I continue to loose more money.

I retained Mr. Lee last year for a fairly low rate. He started "working" on my case as soon as I gave him the 2nd part of the retainer and that was about it. He doesn't return calls, he cuts me off when I try to explain things to him, he says he will send this, email that and never follow through. 1 year later and I am still lost in this process. When I was going to drop him, he moved my case a bit and we got something done. Unfortunately, I went to the courthouse today and discovered my ex has filed over 10 different documents in court with copy to him and I have never even known about these documents, all were sent to Mr. Lee via copy. I even appear as a "no show" at a mediation date I was never told by Mr. Lee. It is unfortunate enough to go through a bitter divorce but to give your money to someone you think can help you and then only hurts your case is terrible. The only reason I wrote this review is because I would NEVER want another person to waste their precious money on an irresponsible lawyer like him. The only good thing is that with 40+ yrs of experience, he does know the people in the court: mediators, lawyers, judges, etc...but that's it.

She gave wrong advise, that too outside her field of expertise. I merely went for consultation, did not sign any retainer, and she still tried to manipulate my file (without my permission), so that I would have no option but to go back to her.
Its like you go to a heart doctor, who is not qualified to operate on your kidney, but regardless starts operating on your kidney, without your permission. Highly unprofessional.
In fact, I am thinking about reporting her to the bar, so she could not continue such behavior with other innocent clients.

He smooth talks you and does all the upfront work so he can get paid. He does all the initial filings then drops you like a bad habit. He failed to submit paperwork on our “supposed” behalf to the board of trustees and they filed to have our case dismissed. Numerous emails and phone calls were unanswered/unreturned and I had to do all the work myself. Don’t hire this scumbag.
