Mike Ziegler and his team are simply awesome! I was sued by a debt collector and didn't really know what to do. The first two lawyers I reached out to were "too busy to take on the case" but I finally made contact with Ziegler Diamond on the morning of my court appearance. He took over everything right away and went to court for me about 45 minutes after taking the case. In the end, he settled the debt for half of the total cost which is exactly what I asked for. I couldn't be more satisfied! I'm extremely impressed with the outcome and would definitely hire Ziegler Diamond again. I highly recommend Mike Ziegler and his firm for any debt or bankruptcy needs. The entire team is extremely professional and they will work on your behalf for the best resolution.

I'm glad I made the decision to hire Kaelyn. Between Kaelyn, Nathalie, and Crystal they have handled every aspect of this entire process of CH. 13 so much easier than I thought. After notifying my creditors of their representation in my case I was still contacted by some of the creditors, and they fought for my settlements against them for contacting me and have received some settlement checks already in my favor. Wonderful job and they really make the process as easy for you as possible. Would definitely recommend

The right attorney does make a difference. Right from the beginning we could tell Ms. Diamond was going to take care of this problem. After asking us just a few questions, she knew exactly what was wrong and she knew just how to proceed. She always answered all our questions patiently and completely and without making us feel like we were dumb or wasting her time. She and her staff kept us informed all along the way. We have been stressing over this situation for years but after finding Kaelyn Diamond, Esq. and Ziegler Diamond Law/Debtfighters, it was taken care of in just a few short months. If you want an attorney who cares and really knows what they are doing, then you need Kaelyn Diamond, Esq.

My wife and I had a business go under in 2019. Carolyn treated us with respect and told us everything we needed to do, to file our business bankruptcy. She took away the guilt we were feeling by being so supportive and sweet. Her assistant Sam, guided us through every step that we needed to follow for the trustee. Because we had so much debt from the business, we also had to file personal bankruptcy. Again Carolyn and Sam were there to explain everything and guide us through the process. They were always there to answer our questions. Carolyn even called us back to answer our question while she was on vacation in another country. How many lawyers would do that? Both bankruptcies went smoothly because of Carolyns' expertise, efficiency and knowledge. We recommend Carolyn Secor to everyone who needs an efficient lawyer who treats you like family and will get things done . She makes an uncomfortable situation comfortable. Thank you so much Carolyn we appreciate you getting us through this difficult time, Ron & Cory.

This was not my first rodeo, so to speak. I was referred to Mr. Gaffney by a friend when I was much younger. He handled my divorce and helped me find my way through an incredibly hard time. Fast forward almost 30 years and I found myself needing his expertise again, unfortunately. A 26 year-long military divorce that was so much more complicated and overwhelming. He was focused on ensuring that I was getting all that I was entitled to while being patient and compassionate when my anxiety got the best of me, which was often. Mr. Gaffney is so well versed in his field and one of the finest human beings I've ever had the pleasure to know. His secretary Denise is fabulous, too! I highly recommend his services!!

When I got married 11 years ago, I never thought I would find myself single again. Even during many contentious moments throughout the marriage, I pressed forward and persevered. I often told myself that every relationship has its ups and downs or that I made a commitment in the presence of family/ friends that I was going to honor no matter what the circumstances brought. Well, unfortunately I found myself forced into divorce. It was hard enough to be confronted with this situation, but navigating it seemed impossible. After struggling through multiple Google searches looking for legal representation, I found myself frustrated as I had no clue who was good at their job, personable, trustworthy, etc. I finally thought to reach out to my job for assistance and was referred to Patrick Gaffney. I could not have been more pleased with his skills, knowledge, expertise, experience, and personality. He did a great job of giving me an idea of the steps involved in this process and walking through it with me along the way. His legal assistant, Denise Holmes, is one of the most delightful people that I have ever met. They really work well together. Patrick helped me through the most challenging moment in my life and I am forever grateful for his services. I would highly recommend him if you ever find yourself in need of legal representation for a divorce. You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Gary Williams is a smart, thoughtful, knowledgeable and tenacious attorney. We recently settled an ongoing dispute regarding the enforcement of the terms of a prenuptial agreement. It was an arduous and frustrating 5 year long process as my ex fought us every step of the way. Mr. Williams and his staff stood by me through this whole ordeal with understanding and patience and ending up getting me a deal that was fair and protected me from my ex. My ex is a very vindictive person and I was concerned he may seek retribution now that the case was settled. Mr. Williams took my concerns to heart and included language in the settlement barring him from harassing me in the future. That meant a lot to me. His staff is also wonderful. Very professional and helpful. In addition, Mr. Williams’s staff ending up saving me some money on fees as he is able to delegate certain tasks to paralegals and other staff members that bill at a much lower rate. My ex initially had a lawyer that had no staff and ended up paying much higher legal fees as everything his attorney did was billed at the attorney’s rate. Mr. Williams and his staff are wonderful allies to have in trying times. I highly recommend The Law Firm for Family Law and Mr. Gary Williams if you find yourself going through such times.

Jeremy Simon is a class act. What a true gentleman and amazing attorney! I was referred to Mr. Simon by a colleague of his and mutual friend of ours. I was in a state of fear, worry & doubt when I initially called Jeremy's office. His assistant answered, super friendly and professional, and we played phone tag for a day or two due to conflicting schedules. I felt so comfortable after speaking to Jeremy on the phone for less than 5 minutes. I could feel the passion in his voice that he truly enjoys what he does and is AMAZING at his job! We spoke for about 18 minutes and he gave me the best advice money could buy - except he didn't even charge me!! He explained his fees and told me if I needed him, he would be there for me, but his honesty really blew me away! He instructed me what to do and sure enough when I went to court, representing myself for a misdemeanor, the DA looked at me and asked where my lawyer was or if I wanted a public defender. I smiled and confidently said, "I'm innocent. I would like to take care of this matter today and not waste any of the court's time." Fast forward 5 minutes later - charge dropped! Maybe I got lucky...but we create our own luck. Jeremy helped me gain confidence and reassured me he was in my corner if my first court date didn't go as planned. Well, my first court date was also my last, and it went better than planned! I truly cannot thank Mr. Simon enough - I even offered him money after court when I followed up with him, and he told me verbatim, "It is my pleasure to be of service to others, it's not always about the money. I am so glad everything worked out favorable." If I ever need a lawyer, I know who I am calling. *** 11 out of 10 stars, 3 thumbs up, and 8 out of 5 stars!!! *** THANK YOU JEREMY !!! YOU ARE TRUTH !!!

I was in an accident where I was rear ended in May of 2018 I knew I was hurt because of the impact to my body. I wanted to talk to someone who was aggressive in handling accident cases. I called Winters & Yonker and got connected to Christopher Smith we set an appointment for him to come and meet with me, we discuss the matter without judgement. After explaining the legalities of the matter we were quite honest with each other he took the case and set me up with referrals to see Therapist and Chiropractor. When they weren't working out for me he changed them in my best interest. I later met his staff Susie Mattos, that girl is Amazon Fierce! she took the bull by the horn and made things happen, where there was delays in getting my vehicle fixed Susie with her no-nonsense approached got my vehicle fixed with a Rental in hand (speedily) then when the Insurance Company wanted me to furnished all kinds of extra paperwork she would say don't worry I'll take care of that. Then when I thought the case would take a long time I got a call one Monday morning from my Lawyer Chris, he asked me how I was doing then he said, you don't have to look for anymore paperwork your case is settled that was the best news! I went to the office about a week later and I asked Susie what happened? how did you get them to change their minds so quickly she said it was no brained I told them your client hit my client. You pay. Everything was handled so professionally from the Meds to the Feds that girl rock! I have people I can trust in Winters & Yonker (Customer for life) Thank you for taking my case and had it settled in less than a year.

We felt Mr. Blake was truthful, very clear with respect to possible consequences, and proactive in forming s defense. We feel his representation resulted in a much less severe penalty than was requested by the prosecution. Mr. Blake was very clear to me what the costs were, since I was paying them. He also explained to me as much as possible what was occurring. I recommend Mr. Blake without hesitation.

If you want a GREAT Lawyer then hire Mr. Andreopoulos. I was in a car accident and rear ended pretty badly and ended up getting lots of medical treatment in the last 4 years. Mr. Andreopoulos worked his tail off for me in the last 4 years with his team and he took care a few things for me related to my accident that required a lot of work from him where he had to go to court quite often for me to speak to the judge and he filed a lot of forms to get things taken care of. In the end, the defense wouldn't settle with us to pay my medical bills and we went to Court. The defense lawyer was very tough but, all of the work and effort Mr. Andreopoulos put with me along with his team paid off and we won our case after a hard battle in Court! If I had hired another Lawyer other than Mr. Andreopoulos, I am pretty confident that I would of lost in court. Mr. Andreopoulos is a very intelligent Lawyer! Hire Mr. Andreopoulos and listen to any advice that he gives you and do as he says! He won't lead you on like some other Lawyers will! He's up front with you! I'm a very happy client right now because of what Mr. Andreopoulos has done for me and because we won the cases! I will hire Mr. Andreopoulos again if I need a Lawyer down the road and I will refer him to anybody that I know that needs a Great Lawyer!

I was T-Boned on the highway, and was scared and in pain. A friend recommended John, so I called him. Immediately, he was able to get me to a phenomenal doctor, that gave me a shot in my arm that relieved the pain temporarily until further tests were done. John was amazing, and very easy to get a hold of. If he wasn't available, his assistant Tammy was so kind and knowledgeable. If there was something she couldn't help me with, John would call shortly after. I couldn't ask for better representation! John and his staff made it so that all I had to do was focus on getting better. He exceeded my expectations, and was able to get me the settlement that I deserved for my injuries. God forbid, but if I ever need a personal injury lawyer in the future, I will call John immediately. Not those stupid commercials you hear on the radio all the time, but knowledgeable, kind, and completely in your corner. Thank you so much John and Tammy, you helped me in so many ways!

Years ago my infant son was a passenger in a car that was involved in an accident and I contacted Melissa Solevilla at Carey Leisure & Neal. Recently I was also involved in a accident and again contacted Melissa. Both times she was very compassionate about what we went through and explained the ins and outs of what to expect when reaching a conclusion. I feel I was given good advice and no matter how many questions I had, she and all that worked there were always available. I highly recommend Carey Leisure & Neal.

Not one, but two of my children were involved in separate automobile accidents. Melissa was there to help us through the steps, talked us through all of our options, and helped us to make very informed decisions. There were calls, texts, and emails between us, she went well above and beyond what I had expected from her. I appreciated the way that she handled the cases, the time she took to explain things to my children, and the time she also took to explain to myself what was happening step by step. She listened, and also educated us to the importance of certain aspects of the cases. I would highly recommend her and use her again.

Mr. Theodore Panagiotopoulos is very responsible, punctual, and has respectful relationship with client. He prepared our application for Permanent Resident Card, focusing on all details and supporting documentations. Theodore explained us in detail, whole immigration process. He simulated interview with us few times. He is very cooperative, answered all phone calls, text messages and e-mails in timely matter. Theodore was flexible with scheduling meetings in his office, as per our convenience. The fee of his attorney service is very reasonable, and clearly defined from the beginning. He has friendly, opened, and honest approach with clients. Very reliable attorney who cares about his clients as human beings. You will feel safe all the time if your case is managed by Theodore. We truly recommend Theodore immigration attorney to our family members and friends.

Attorney Theodore Panagiotopoulos is an AMAZING attorney and the ONLY attorney you will ever need when dealing with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Ted was straight forward and very professional from the start. Ted knows the hurdles of the immigration process and tells his clients everything up front. Finding an honest, trustworthy, and experienced immigration attorney is unfortunately not an easy thing. I have seen so many bad immigration attorneys, and heard so many horrible things from my friends when dealing with immigration attorneys. Thank God my wife and I found Ted!!! Ted makes sure that his clients' applications and files are fully complete from the very start of the process to avoid any delays. He let us know from the very first day how important it was to start saving things like letters, receipts, and other documents so that they could be used as supporting evidence. By the time my wife and I were given our interview date, I was confident and at easy that everything would work out in our favor. By having Ted as our immigration attorney, there were no surprises and we were ready for everything that USCIS threw at us. Thank you for everything Ted!!! My wife and I look forward to working with you again when we are ready to apply for the removal of conditions.!

Mr. Sandefer not only has the expertise and know-how, but he goes above and beyond what any other Attorney does, to make sure I got the best representation possible. If you need a Criminal Attorney for your case, then you need Larry Sandefer. He’ll tell it to you the way it is; and that is exactly what you need, not sugar-coating, just the facts and information you need to make the decisions you have to make in your case. I highly recommend Mr. Sandefer, and his staff; they are what you need in your corner, when you are faced against the State.

Mr. Sandefer was hired to help our daughter in a drug trafficking case. As you can imagine this was a very stressful and frightening situation. He spoke with me via phone (free consultation) listening to the details, he felt he would be able to help with this case. We hired him, he was very easy to talk to, he keeps you informed every step of the way as to details of the case, he is easy to reach and returns calls promptly. In the end he was able to reduce a mandatory prison sentence to probation. (of course there is mitigating factors) but he did not only help us, our daughter now has a second chance to fix the company she keeps! This was our first time needing an attorney, we could not of gotten anyone better than Mr. Sandefer. If you are facing a similar situation, make the call. You will not be disappointed. He is honest, caring and very direct. We are very grateful to have been able to retain Mr. Sandefer in this situation. We ended up using him again in order to get travel permission for my daughter to come home to visit on holiday. Her probation prevents her from leaving the county she resides. He filed a motion on her behalf before the judge, and was granted permission for her to travel. This would not of been the case had Mr. Sandefer not been present. Thank you, Larry for everything you have done with our daughters case. We truly are blessed to have hired you. You were called to be a lawyer, and you are the best!

If you read this review then you are probably in the same boat I was - charged with a felony and bombarded by referral. I chose Mr. Sandefer over all other friends and family referrals due to the fact that Larry knows the Pinellas County Court system inside and out. His experience speaks for itself! Larry took me on and cut through the court system like a surgeon. He filed motions with blazing speed, trickled the Prosecution testimony and evidence when case timing dictated it, and finally won the day for me by getting my felony case dismissed! Larry is a master at Criminal Defense! Not only are his tactics brilliant but he also talked me back from the ledge a few times when I felt things weren't going my way. The only thing I feel bad about with Larry as my attorney is that he didn't charge me more. I feel like I stole his services from him for the price I paid. Your search for a defense attorney should stop right here. Call Larry right now and have the very best defense attorney working for you.

Andrew is a true saint. He was the most understanding and compassionate person I have met in a long time. Completely professional and wholly dedicated to helping people. I was not expecting the level of personal attention and dedication he presented in my case. I honestly couldn't have wished for a better guy. I got so lucky to have him on my case. With all the speedbumps and setbacks my case had, I was surprised at the level of professionalism and skill he was able put into my case. The guy is brilliant and very very savvy with Florida law. I could go on for days about how much I like this guy and what an awesome lawyer he is but I think you get the idea. I have dealt (and am still working with) other attorneys on much older cases and much more simple cases, but Spence blows them all out of the water. The guy isn't human.

From the first meeting I had with Andrew, I realized that I was no longer alone in my struggle. He listened without judgement and helped me see that there was hope. He is very understanding and empathetic. He clearly layed out my options with the pros and cons of each. He was always available to talk if I had questions, and explained things as many times as necessary so that I felt comfortable and understood. I was kept informed every step of the way by his kind and professional support staff. The outcome of my case was satisfactory. He fought for me, obtaining terms that I requested. Andrew is a fine man of integrity that really cares about what he does and how it affects the lives of his clients. I will highly recommend Andrew Spence, Esq.

I was rear ended on April 28, 2016 and had injuries to my neck. I did not want to be stuck with medical bills so I knew I had to find a personal injury attorney. I chose an attorney that did not have a billboard. I found William Schneikart on line. Little did I know Bill would put the gloves on for me and fight for what was right and just. Bill was compassionate to me and took his time obtaining the information. He was patient and has a calming demeanor. I could tell right away he was passionate about his job and believed in what he did. Bill walked me through step by step and informed me that the case could take six months or longer. Bill always kept me updated on the progress of my case. Bill worked tirelessly obtaining all my medical records, the accident report, information from the at fault insurance company and my insurance company. My insurance company stepped up to the plate. He referred me to the best medical/chiropractor clinics. I had to get an MRI of my neck (the first one ever). I went to all my medical appointments, physical therapy, and I had procedures (facet blocks, epidural, disc decompression) to ease my headaches and neck pain. I had headaches most days. Bill kept me going because there were times when I wanted to give up since the at fault insurance company offered a low ball settlement which would not begin to cover my medical bills. I was stressed out and depressed. Bill (and his assistant Kelsey) gave me words of encouragement. The at fault insurance company refused to give what was right. The case would have to go to court. Although Bill is an excellent litigator, he knew this may be a long drawn out case. Bill brought in a married attorney team that had ALOT of experience dealing with the at fault insurance company to help with the fight. Bill works with this attorney team often. My case was resolved by May 19, 2017. It just took a little while to get the details worked out, and then we were delayed by the court for about a month. The at fault insurance company agreed to pay the maximum. I was relieved, since the medical bills will be covered and after attorney fees I will have enough for future treatments if needed. Bill will fight for you! I would hire him again in a heart beat!

I looked for a knowledgeable, competent and honest lawyer and after research I hired Mr. Carrion to represent me. He was honest and realistic about expectations, filing process, court procedures and timelines. Because of his expertise and hard work I obtained permanent residency. He always stayed on top of my case and comforted me when I was disappointed and nervous. He kept me informed at all times and was in constant communication with me during the whole process. He worked out a payment plan for me which helped me pay his fees easier, during the time he represented me and won my case. His staff was very helpful and kind, always there for me.

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?
