I was rear ended and our family van was totaled. The insurance company gave us a pathetically low settlement offer and I was referred to Jason and his team by a friend and they were able to negotiate a fair settlement that has empowered us to actually be able to replace the vehicle and actually be able to start cleaning up the mess this accident has made in our lives.
I really wish insurance companies would act in good faith, but unfortunately their business model is to do as little as possible for their clients, when this happens, Jason and his team can make sure that you are taken care of the way you are supposed to be. They did a great job and I will be recommending them to friends and family who find themselves in a similar situation.

I arrived to my father’s wake in Florida where I was going to reunite with my sister and go over his estate. My sister denied me any access to my father’s personal belongings, assets or his estate. So I knew I needed to hire a lawyer and contacted Martin Law Firm since they are in the same area my father lived in. Ms. Eviana Martin took my case which became a complicated litigation case. I live in N.Y.C. and needed someone that can represent me. Ms. Eviana has integrity , compassion & confidence. She is quickly to identify relevant details from legal documents. Ms. Eviana was quick with response's via emails, phone calls , etc . Most importantly she was very knowledgeable about the law and very professional. I’m very thankful to Ms. Eviana Martin for the outcome of my case. I extremely recommend Ms. Eviana Martin for any of your litigation cases.

Ms.Neilson was not only efficient and extremely knowledgeable, but also very considerate with our questions and concerns. She walked us through the estate planing process as it relates to Florida laws and fully explained each step of the process to ensure that our wishes were being followed. Gail kept all the meetings well organized from initial meeting to the final signings. Couldn’t be happier with the final product.

I wanted to have some changes made to my will and I texted my attorney in Indiana. I advise them that I had moved to Florida, and he advised me to talk to an attorney here immediately because Florida law is significantly different regarding wills and trusts. So I checked around and found Nielsen law. Just warning you if you want this attorney to do work for you, you better call and make an appointment as soon as you can. She is excellent and created a revocable trust for me. I believe that her pricing is reasonable and I can assure you that she is exceptionally thorough. Her administrative assistant, Gail, is exceptionally organized, cordial and most of all helpful. If you select Nielsen law you will be exceptionally happy with the result regardless of what your needs are.

Mr. Youngner’s services are exceedingly professional, expert and effective. My case involved delicate interaction with local and higher Headquarters military authorities and necessitated an insightful and experienced understanding of U.S.Code and Military Law and the nuanced application of each. In all, Mr. Youngner's level of expertise and communication skills were direct, insightful and complete, enabling optimum case resolution.
I simply cannot compliment Mr. Youngner enough for all his truly exceptional work, completed on my behalf, including responding to an urgent legal matter during his personal time off. His ongoing case management was always complete; and at the same time, his client interaction was always courteous and personable. His knowledge of the subject matter and grasp of my case’s impacts also enabled max effectiveness in dealing with all related authorities.
The support staff at Tully Rinckey is as well warm, competent and professional (especially his assistant Ms Sherry Holland).
Tully Rinckey PLLC is a superb law firm and Mr. Youngner is in particular, an outstanding civilian, military attorney.

I had been seeking justice for many years on my own, but it was to no avail due to the tangled administrative and military laws and lack of support. I finally found Larry at what felt like the last hour, because I couldn't fight anymore. Larry heard me, and not only believed in my case, but he believed in me and the cause. It was an intense case and after all these years of hardship and trauma I was finally made whole and it is absolutely attributed to the in-depth expertise, unique approach, and genuineness of Larry. He spoke the truth in the most honorable and strategic manner and the military finally heard me, because Larry stood up for what was just.
I couldn't believe it, but I received a positive outcome in less than 4 weeks after the military board heard my case through Larry. For any individual seeking justice, through not just a lawyer, but through someone who is actually compassionate, straightforward, positive, and fully vested in you, then look no further. Larry is a rare lawyer, because he is first a human and he invests everything he has and more to support you first, and the rest will follow.

In my opinion, Mr. Youngner is a very sharp attorney and advocate. He communicates clearly (and is available). After reviewing my case, Mr. Youngner found more than two additional points of noncompliance by the offending department in my appeal for correction.
Mr. Youngner and his team kept me informed of the status of my case at regular intervals. He sets reasonable expectations and meets them.
Dealing with a large and impersonal bureaucracy, a person needs an advocate as effective as Mr. Youngner. I highly recommend Mr. Youngner.

When you have to fight for a child a great attorney is all you need. I was so fortunate to find Raymond Mitchell. I had brought him a case that I thought would be impossible and he struggled and made it into strength. If your looking for a good attorney I hope you find one, but if you want an honest, reliable, know it all, exceptional attorney I would recommend attorney Mitchell. He is by far the best when your back is against the wall!

My only regret is that I did not meet Chris and his team sooner. After my divorce was finalized, I began working with Chris to modify the judgement (unfortunately he was not my original divorce lawyer). He was very forthright and knowledgeable and provided excellent advice throughout the proceedings. He also took an aggressive stance when my ex tried to sue for her attorney’s fees. He won the case despite the fact that the judge clearly favored my ex. He won it by diligently researching case law and aggressively presenting our case, all the while being professional. I frankly can’t recommend him enough. I sincerely hope I’m never in need of an attorney again but if I am, Chris will be my first call. Again, I can not recommend him and his team enough!

Chris is hard working, extremely professional, timely, and efficient! He was able to get me every single thing I was requesting in my child custody case. He was quick to respond to my emails and thoroughly answered each and every one of my numerous questions. If you are ever faced with child custody issues and are in need of a lawyer, Chris is the one that you want by your side. He will try his best to get you what you want which is exactly what he did for me (I was granted EVERYTHING that we requested). If he asks you to do something that it going to help your case, make sure you do it. He knows what he is talking about.
I hired Chris for my child custody case. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I will be recommending Chris to all of my family, friends, and coworkers should they ever need his law services. Call him today! I promise you won't be disappointed. Esther and Chris make a fantastic team.

Changing attorneys and hiring Chris was the BEST decision I made! My ex-husband spent 5 times what I did on his attorney. But Chris and I won every point in our case.
He is an expert at the research necessary to make the necessary points to win. He read the judge during our trial, changed course, and was spot on with his interpretation of what was needed.
Esther was amazing at taking care of the details and being a liason between Chris and I. I never had to wait on them. My time was respected, too.
Don't let his youth fool you. He knows what he is doing. He explained the options and consequences to me thoroughly and ultimately gave me the best advice during a difficult time. I'm so glad I trusted him.
If you decide to trust him also do whatever he tells you to do. He knows how to present your case and WIN!
***He is THE BEST at what he does!***

FIrst time that I've ever felt undercharged for legal services. My case reviewed by Mr. Altieri, he explained my options and his strategy to be used for each option. I was given probable outcomes for my decision and the results were spot on and better than I expected. I am completely satisfied with my representation and strongly suggest that others retain Mr. Altieri's services.

First time retaining Martin and Martin Law Firm and Mr. Bierfeld specifically as my attorney for my case. I was completely pleased with Mr. Bierfeld's expertise and knowledge of the subject at hand and he and his Legal Assistant and entire office staff were fantastic. I was guided thru the maze of legal requirements, rule, regulations, protocols for my case which resulted in a favorable conclusion for myself. This attorney is above board, thorough, compassionate, knowledge and I believe that I have found a family attorney and the firm to handle any future legal items, e.g., wills, powers of attorney, etc that I may require in the future.....Great job...Great firm.....

Jonathan was professional and efficient. He took on my bankruptcy case, that I had started with another attorney. He answered all my questions and phone calls.

During my first meet with Mr. Bierfeld he carefully explained lawsuit variations, costs and always available by phone or personal visit during the Bankruptcy proceedings making the process less stressful. His legal assistant Erica Decant also went out of her way to assist me during the preparation process. I consider the Cape Coral office first class.

Forget your preconceived notions about attorneys!
I must admit going in, I thought they might be more concerned about getting a case and getting their fee than they were in making me whole again. This was the warning from so many others that had traveled this road before me.
Wrong…
I was a victim of an under insured motorist- damage to my car and injury to my back.
From the first time I met Mark, he was understanding, empathetic, and thorough in explaining the process that we would need to go through to get compensation for the mounting expenses.
He was straightforward and although I was reluctant to get surgery at first, trying all the other methods to get pain relief, Mark stayed with me asking if there was anything that he could do to help as a friend.
Mark and Domenic were able to get me just compensation for the accident all without having to go to court!
Having someone, who understands the process, knows what can be achieved and is willing to go to bat for you, not just settle, best describes Mark and Domenic.
Although I hope to never need their services again, I would not hesitate asking them to represent me or my family and friends.

My case was unusual and difficult to prove. Mark Smith handled it perfectly and was successful in getting me a settlement He gave it his full attention even though there wasn't a big payout involved. He takes the time necessary to handle both big and small cases. I would recommend him highly and give him 5 stars.

Having a divorced and a bankruptcy in my past, I have had experience dealing with attorney's. I can honestly say that this has been my first positive experience regarding a legal process. Rather than feeling like I was chasing an attorney around, Mark gave my case the attention that it deserved. He not only guided me through the whole process, but he explained everything in detail and with the patience that I needed to understand a very confusing legal process. I would highly recommend Mark to all my family and friends and anyone who is in need of a great attorney who will take your case with the seriousness and sensitivity that an attorney should show their client.

I was totally satisfied with his knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dustin to anyone needing a lawyer in Family Practice.

I hired Dustin for my recent divorce. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and gave me direction and good counsel on every point. Dustin truly cared about my situation, which lessened the anxiety that I had about my personal circumstances during the divorce. He communicated with me very well along the way, and made sure I understood each step in the process. The divorce is now finalized and I am very pleased with Dustin's work to make that happen. I am grateful to him for his help and genuine concern, and would recommend him to my friends and family. I appreciate the office staff as well, particularly Lauren, who was always gracious and helpful on the phone.

The Martin Law Firm was an invaluable asset to me in expertly and expeditiously serving my trust and estate needs. Attorney Steven Martin and his staff are hard-working, dedicated and importantly they have the ability to see the big picture in often complex, emotionally-charged matters. His perspective and counsel has made me more confident and informed related to protecting my family and future.
Behind Atty. Martin, is his firm: the Martin Law Firm; the firm offers a feeling of comfort and home in which there are no barriers of access - it is clear that all staff members in the office are treated with respect and importance. Despite the firm’s relatively small size, I always feel like there was more than one professional who had my back; I believe the entire firm is my support system. The firm’s expertise overall is wide in scope, though the practice maintains its focus and instead of deviating from their core expertise - the staff and leadership at The Martin Law Firm will ensure that a professional with specific expertise is brought in to add an extra layer of confidence through his or her niche experience.
The Martin Law firm helped me achieve the goals I needed for my family and me. I put my full faith, trust and highest recommendation to those considering their options for legal matters or counsel.

Highly recommended!! My very first call to them was answered by Mr. Steve Martin. He was so calming, knowledgeable, and nice. I received an appointment that day and was helped by legal assistant, Miss Claudia, who was just as warm and professional. My nerves were put at ease, my case was expedited and I felt like part of their family. I honestly can’t say enough of wonderful things about Martin Law Firm, and how truly grateful I am to have had them on my side.

I had three very bad experiences with previous lawyers. I did a lot of research before I called Sam. Key to me calling him was the content of the other reviews found here. As it turns out I didn't actually retain his services--in large part due to the fact that he was honest and forthright enough to explain that his area of comfort and expertise was actually not what I needed. He spoke to me for a significant amount of time over the phone while extremely ill. He called a peer to refer me to and actually called me back with that information just like he said he would. Even though I didn't actually hire him I would highly recommend him. He was extremely personal, respectful, compassionate and H.O.N.E.S.T. And as a complete laginappe--he's from Mississippi. Sam, God Bless You! You give me hope for your profession.

My In-laws needed to sell their FL condo. Initially we thought it would be a private sell but the buyers fell through.
Juan is also in Real Estate and we hired him. Throughout the listing Juan kept me in the loop since my father-in-law is up in years and mother-in-law was terminal. At least every 3 weeks he would call or e-mail me just so we knew what the status of the listing was.
We didn't have a great amount of time to clean out the condo and he was kind enough to put the final touches and was there every step of the way from offer to closing.
Even when the inspection found issues, Juan found contractors that were far less expensive than what the buyer's realtor wanted to hire.
There is so much more but you get the idea. Dad plan on giving Juan's contact information to all his friends in Florida when they ask for a realtor or lawyer.

I was arrested in Lee County and facing life in prison for a crime I did not commit! My life was instantly shattered and in a few short hours everything that I have ever worked for was taken from me! I hired a large law firm in Ft. Myers to represent me only to have them write me off as a plea bargain. After several months of terrible representation, I then sought new counsel. Living across the country, I zoomed multiple firms in the southwest Florida area. All of which but one gave me the same run around story. Attorney Foley is the only consultation that did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but instead told me what I needed to hear, “The Truth”! He provided me with the blunt facts and possible outcomes of my horrific case. Attorney Foley’s transparency was unmatched and I instantly retained him to represent me in the fight of my life to prove my innocence.
On day one, both attorney’s Foley and Wilson went right to work on my case! Over the next 18 months, they investigated and learned every single nuance of my case through depositions and thorough research of all provided discovery. During the two year period, I was offered serval plea bargains as a way to resolve the case. Bob and Desiree shared their true and professional insights and feelings when I was faced navigating those difficult choices. Ultimately, I was forced to “roll the dice” and went to trial in order to prove my innocence.
Last month we went to trial for the fight of my life. Over the course of the three days, Bob and Desiree swiftly and persistently destroyed the state’s evidence against me. They quickly exposed and impeached several of the prosecutions key witnesses and displayed all the inconsistencies and the terrible investigation that took place. After living in literal hell for 733 days and 12 minutes of deliberating, the jury set me free and claimed my innocence!!!
I chose to put my life into Bob’s and Desiree’s hands. Today, as a result, I am a free man!!! I promise all of you, there is NO OTHER law firm in the state of Florida that possess their background, knowledge, talent and methodical ways of executing plans. They are my “Dream Team”. They have a spot forever in mine and family’s hearts and forever grateful for them. I love you guys!!!

I was accused of felony misconduct on two occasions and summoned to court for a hearing. Had to buy suitable clothing as, being 74 and long retired, I did not own even a jacket and tie, much less socks. Attorney Desiree Wilson was waiting at the door when I walked into the courthouse at 8:30 AM. She stayed right by my side, and told me exactly what would happen, until we were called before the judge at 9:45. Leaving me at the back, she then went forward and negotiated a deal that gave me all I wanted and gave the other side nothing they truly wanted. It was over by 10:15 and I had never said a thing. When we parted ways outside the courthouse, my last words to her were, "Raise your rates."
Experience isn't everything. Sometimes poise counts even more. Attorney Desiree Wilson has plenty of both. She defended me aggressively and with ruthless efficiency. She knew just what would occur--not only in court but at every stage--and she expertly shaped the narrative. I was not merely pleased with the outcome, I was awed by the performance. I believe that Attorney Wilson also handles appeals; however, if you bring her in at the start, when first accused, I am pretty sure you won't need to file one.
