Consulted and felt like the Lawyer knew everything. Actual representation and Work was Grossly Disappointing. Council's Real Life Grasp of Subject matter, Evidence presentation, Trial presentation had huge Gaping Holes and deficiencies. Almost felt like our Hired attorney was working for the opposing party

He has a very unstable behavior like that of ADHD or bipolar. This creates a frustrating relationship and results in botched cases. Avoid this one.

We hired Elena to resolve a child support case. She was consistently late, very unprofessional to my wife and overcharged us for a case that is STILL NOT resolved. Child support was never modified and she was completely unhelpful at the court dates

For the rest of my life, I will regret having hired Elena M. Perez as my divorce attorney. From the very beginning, I usually had to deal with her assistant, because Miss Perez was 'not available'.
The few times I was able to speak to her, she never seemed to remember what we had discussed the last time we spoke. After almost 2 1/2 YEARS as her client, she decided to drop me. This could have been a simple divorce. I paid her a few thousand dollars for (what I consider) to be nothing, because I had to hire another attorney (who got everything resolved in about 2 1/2 MONTHS). In the beginning, I was 'okay' speaking to her paralegal (Maggie), but after a while, I discovered they were practically one and the same. The only difference was that Maggie was much more 'accessible' and had a much better memory. When I complained to Maggie about Ms. Perez' memory, she admitted to me that it wasn't a very good one. Their receptionist could not speak English. It was not long after I became their client, that the receptionist left. After I received a call from Ms. Perez that she had decided to drop me as a client, I received a call from her paralegal who offered to come to court with me on the last court date and she would help 'walk me through it' and also said that I should not tell Ms. Perez that she was going to do that for me. She told me she would not charge me so much as Ms. Perez since she was just a paralegal. I found out later from another attorney's office that the judge would not have allowed that. Yet Maggie had asked me for some upfront money. I have text messages and emails on my phone which can testify to most of what I have to say about this 'divorce attorney' and her co-workers. Some things, however, were discussed by phone so I have no way to prove those things. The last conversation I remember having with Ms. Perez (after she dropped me), was to request my records. At that point, she said: "but I thought you were going to allow Maggie to go to the Courthouse with you on the final date." Sounded to me like they were in on this from the moment Maggie said she would 'help' me - without Ms. Perez' knowledge. Very unprofessional 'team'. I would not let Miss Perez represent me if she would offer to do it for free.

I was a victim in an automobile accident a few yrs ago. Attorney Citron handled the case for me, and got me a settlement from Geico. In the last two years since then I have spoken with clients and friends who are attorneys and I have reviewed with them the circumstances of my accident case. Several of these attorneys have complimented Howard Citron, saying that they would not have gotten as much for me if they had handled the negotiations with Geico instead of Howard. It is nice to know that I had chosen a superb attorney, and that even Howard's peers compliment his work and accomplishments.

As a fellow South Florida lawyer, there is only a small list of lawyers that I would trust to refer clients to, and Howard's is at the very top of the list. I know that he will be there to listen to the client's needs and will fight for them from start to finish. Lawsuits are tough and you need someone who knows the ropes and will stick with you until the end. Howard is that lawyer!

Upon hiring Mr.Deutsch I believed that he would handle my family and I case with no problem. Here it is 5years later no clear answer and no communication and lie after lie after lie. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy of an enemy. I felt as though my family and I case wasn't worth it for him so he didn't put forth an effort and fight for us as a hired attorney should have.

After trying to deal with post divorce issues myself, I hired Ron. He reviewed my case and immediately sought mediation with the other attorney. Unfortunately the other attorney did not wish to settle fairly, so we went to court and we won. We actually went to court on a few issues, each time Ron was very prepared, very clear in his presentation in court and buried the other attorney with facts and law.
Listen to Ron upfront, he will let you know where you stand in the eyes of the court. Even if you win, you need to way the cost of winning and settling.

Hired Ron to do some real estate and financial matters for me. Ron handled my issues in a clear, understandable manner. All of my phone calls were returned promptly and Ron's para-legal Robin is simply the best. I would recommend Ron Luzim without reservation for any legal or financial issues.

On behalf of my family and myself i wanted to take a few minutes to gratefully acknowledge and thank attorney Ronald Luzim and his para legal Robin for the continuous and impeccable care of our family through a very difficult time. Not ever having been through probate and being the personal representative of my mom's estate i was very apprehensive to even know where to begin. I was walked through every step of the way by Robin and she made the journey easy and comfortable and is an absolute asset to to attorney Luzim'a office. We are just about finalizing and closing the estate and never would have gotten to this point without the help of Ron and Robin. My siblings and I travelled down to Florida to sell and close on our mother's house and got to meet Ron and Robin and all felt exactly the way i do. They knew right then and there that we were in good hands! They are true professionals in every sense of the word and compassionate at the same time. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Ronald A. Luzim to everyone and anyone to handle their estate affairs.

John Sorkin did not handle my divorce well. I never felt comfortable with his legal advice and was getting billed for everything. He had a terrible rapport with my now ex wife's attorney that I felt was preventing a settlement. He failed to explain things well and was always asking me what I wanted to do.
We went to mediation, the mediator was a friend of his who did nothing but insult me and tried to put me down questioning me why I need to see my children so much and spend so much time with them. The mediator did nothing but try to push my now ex wife's proposal on me telling me that a judge will never give me what I want. We spent 6 hours in mediation without settling on a single thing. The entire time in mediation, John never once spoke up for me to the mediator. After mediation, I expressed my confusion, frustration and discontent about the mediation and mediator at which time Mr. Sorkin basically said that's the way it goes.
Shortly after the mediation, I ended up firing Mr. Sorkin and hiring a new attorney and my divorce was settled one month later thanks to my new attorney.

I hired Tayane Oliveira with the expectation that she would help mediate a family matter and simplify the process. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Instead of streamlining the issues, Tayane's approach only made matters more complex and resulted in significant expenses. It felt as though her focus was more on benefiting financially rather than genuinely assisting her client. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend her for simple legal services. I was forced to file a motion to withdraw her legal expense at additional costs.

I went to Tayane with only problems to resolve. It’s very hard to go through a life disappointment and to find a lawyer that you can trust. It amazed me how professional she is, how she handled my case so well, even with topics that I was unaware about. I highly recommend her if you or anyone you know needs a lawyer.

This is the second time Lee has represented me. He is knowledgable, compassionate and very patient. He makes a bad situation (divorce) easier to get through. Also, great communication.

I used this attorney and it was a horrible experience. The initial retainer fee was fair, but the excessive fees that were inflated to absorb the retainer was the biggest problem. I made numerous complaints to try to get the bill corrected, the firm manager refused to assist. The attorney agreed to remove some of the charges that were inflated, but not all, and charged me for my messages and calls to attempt to get the bill corrected, so I ended back with the same bill. It’s not worth using a lawyer like this. He charge you for things that you don’t even have access to, for example I was charged over $200 one day for the lawyer to communicate with the opposing counsel. That’s excessive. There was many excessive charges. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER!!!!

I was contacted to repay a debt . I was told I will go to jail if I don't pay the debt and I wouldn't last a day there. I paid the first payment and told them what day I could pay in the following month but they disregard what I said and charged my debt card twice in a month

This company was hired to collect money for a debt that I owed. I agreed to allow them to charge my debit card $150. I go onto my bank account and this company charged my card twice! I immediately called them back and spoke to Carol Lewis who assured me that this was reversed back and would be back into my account within 24hrs. The next day I show this didn't happen. I made a total of 6 phone calls with her and my bank to get this taken care of. I told her that my bank needed a document on letter head letting them know that the second charge was in error. Carol even argued with my bank who told her they see no request for reversal from them as she stated. Needless to say Carol never "did right by me" as she would say repeatedly. My bank was gracious enough to reverse the second charge that was not authorized. But because of their error this caused me $257.11 in NSF that I had to pay for cause this company said it "wasn't their fault" I spoke with the attorney and he was SO RUUUUDE.. said that it was my fault and they are not responsible for the NSF that they caused! He told me to have an attorney call him. WHO SAYS THAT?

We had a situation where a former associate tried to claim ownership on one of our properties. Mr. Katz was able to advise me as the managing member, that the work we had done to Copyright, Trademark and help protect our intellectual property was sound. He was also able to help identify some holes in our corporate operating documents and advised on the creation of a new document. We are now more confident that our new products will be protected and our company will be able to move forward without concern of false claims.

In close to 2 months I NEVER received 1 update Rebecca never sent letters of representation to any Dr's on the case she didn't return phone calls. I left several messages all went unanswered. The copies I gave her I had to go back 2 weeks later and copy myself. The Dr.'s had no idea I had an attorney since she did not contact them. The service was so poor it was an embarrasement.

I trusted this lawyer to help me, but he treated me unfairly instead. I hired this firm in May of 2021 to help me with a mold problem. They submitted the civil suit September of 2022, and was final by November 2023. This lawyer showed no compassion towards my situation, and did not fight for what was deserved. Almost 2 months after the settlement, and I still haven’t received my check. This lawyer continues to ignore my calls and he has truly made this journey horrible for me. The time lost and mental distress that this has caused me is unfair, and it hurts to know that this lawyer just doesn’t care.

In my opinion, and based on my experience Scott Gelfand was the absolute WORST attorney I have ever hired. He was very nasty, arrogant, and quite frankly unbearable to deal with. He liked to boast about how great of an attorney he is, which in my opinion was a big fat lie based on the his poor results. I felt like he thought he was a legend in his own mind. I think he really should to look into the mirror, and admit how awful of a job he did and apologize. Bottomline, in my opinion, all he cared about was moving things along slowly, so that he could charge his wasteful fee's based on his terrible results!

Nightmare on two separate occasions. Failed to inform and blamed on external factors. Constantly have to track them down to find out whats going on. Attorney doesn't have the time of day for his clients. The outcome was terrible and the attorney refuses to provide any explanation for that outcome. I incurred additional fees and almost driving penalties on a ticket they were supposed to take care of.

I used them for litigation and they don't communicate well nor review documents with you before they file them. When they felt weekness they withdrew from the case leaving me worse off then when we hired them. Additionally, they let motions sit for months without requesting hearings and let the other side run all over us on a case Joe Garrity claimed was a slam dunk and sold me on how this is there speciality. There only speciality is deceipt and when things get tough they run the other way.
