I never needed a lawyer never been in trouble so when I was asked to find a lawyer on another’s behalf I went to searching. David name was brought to my attention after being ignored by a previous attorney. I contacted David’s office and was meet with his lovely Assistant she went over the initial details and told me David will contact me. David did just that and told me what the price was going to be after the payment was made, David sprung into action and got to working on the case. By me not ever having to deal with a lawyer I wasn’t sure how it would play out, I gave David space and let him do what he does and he hasn’t let us down yet … HES WELL WORTH IT …. Great man! Hire HIM!!!!

David is a savior! Since 1991 he has fought and won battles for me. Always understanding that sometimes good people find themselves in bad situations and using his knowledge and position to work the magic needed. David actually listens with an open mind comprehending all details. Always returning calls and staying on top of things. When I was unjustly sentenced to life in prison, he fought until he seen me released. Since, I've found myself needing help again. David is amazing with results that leave me dumbfounded and living carefree. It is not unusual for him to make a call to just check on them to make sure everything is OK. I can't say enough. Other lawyers I know, well, you know. This man is the weight on the legal scale I would always call.

I hired Mr. Kessler in November of 2022 to represent me in a DUI arrest case. He met with my husband and I at, needless to say, a very stressful time in both of our lives. I had never been arrested before and I didn’t know what was ahead of me. I instantly felt at ease, for the first time, since the arrest when we sat in his office discussing the case and possible outcomes. Mr. Kessler came recommended to me by another lawyer and boy was I not disappointed! This man is the cream of the crop when it comes to criminal DUI defense attorneys. He is an expert in his field. He and his wonderful staff, Morganne, Victoria, and Lindsey all helped me navigate a scary landscape. Everyone was so approachable and helpful! They were excellent at putting me at ease. Mr. Kessler got my charge reduced to the lesser charge of Reckless Driving and I did not lose my ability to drive, ever! I was so grateful to be able to find this wonderful law firm. Mr. Kessler is a known bulldog of a trial attorney which I didn’t fully understand at the time. I hope to never have to hire a criminal defense attorney again but, if I do need one, Mr. Kessler would be my 100% choice all over again. Do not hesitate and call Mr. Kessler and his fabulous team. He will represent you with vigor, truth, honesty and preparedness. He and his team will get you the best possible outcome. It is scary facing a judge and prosecutors. With Mr. Kessler by my side, I feared nothing and neither will you. You need this lawyer.

The Kessler Law Office is the standard of excellence in criminal law defense. Everyone in the office is professional and thorough. My case was difficult as the charges stemmed from 4 years prior without my knowledge but the Kessler team was honest and diligent in defending me from start to finish. I could not have been in better hands and all charges were dismissed before trial. Best money I’ve ever spent!

Brian and his team are AMAZING! There isn't enough stars to be able to give them and nobody else I would recommend. My son was falsely accused of crimes he did not commit and this team was on top of every last detail. The opposing side did not even make it half way through and they dropped the case. I can never thank Cassandra enough for taking every last one of my phone calls some even twice a day. They took their time to find every last detail proving my sons innocence. Not once did this team make my family and I feel not important or that we were not their top priority. We loved that Brian is 100% straightforward and honest with every move of our case. He told us what the worst could be and the outcome we were going for at all times. Thank you so much for all of your support, patience, and help we can finally sleep again.

My lawyer referred me to Amy to file an appeal with the DMV over my DL suspension due to refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test. I'm thankful my lawyer referred me to her. Because of her, my suspension ruling was quashed and I am now able to drive with full license privileges. Without Amy's expertise in DUI cases, I would still be dealing with the daily hassles of commuting in a rural town with no public transportation system. Not only is she very knowledgeable of the law, she also treated me with respect. I didn't have to wait long for email reply's nor did I ever have troubles contacting her by phone. I will be forever in Amy's debt.

My husband and I were represented by Ian Osking for our mortgage for our first home. As with any home purchase, it can be very stressful, but Ian made it a smooth and simple process for us. He helped us gather all the necessary information and communicated closely with the Closing Manager in order to verify we had all the completed paperwork on time. We truly appreciate his assistance and would recommend him to anyone.

I reached out to Ian Osking last year when an individual was harassing me, impersonating another legal council, and threatening all sorts of legal action. I am very fortunate that Ian took on my unique case, took the time to listen and understand my situation, and then represented me professionally but firmly in my dispute.
With his guidance and advice, the individual opposing me backed down and I was able to avoid a potentially costly court case in another state.
I have continued to use Ian for legal advice since then, and I plan to continue utilizing his expertise for my personal use and business going forward.
5/5 Would highly recommend.

A+ Excellent criminal defense attorney. Mr. Hugo Concha was very thorough when he took the depositions/interrogations of the State's witnesses, and it helped our case big-time. He kept us informed, and was always very polite. We were usually able to contact him personally. If we left him a message, he would always return our calls, even during the evenings. Actually, Mr. Hugo Concha treated us like family, and to our surprise, this lawyer actually kept his word, he was able to get the charges reduced! Mr. Concha is a true professional with a lot of experience, and it showed. If you have serious criminal charges, I highly recommend Mr. Hugo Concha to use the right strategy to help you.

I contacted Todd after I got into a car accident when I was 7 months pregnant. The insurance company was trying to get me to settle before I was comfortable doing so. Todd took on my case and dealt with the insurance company for me so I could focus on my new baby. He negotiated with the insurance company on behalf of my children and I so that would we would get the settlement we deserved. He sent me copies of every letter he sent to the insurance company and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. He would relay any new settlement offers and advise me with what we should do next. He took away the stress of the whole situation and I'm very thankful.

Divorcing is one of the most personal and hardest thing you may ever go through in life. I could not have selected a more accomplished, compassionate attorney than Leatha Mullins. From my first day of having no idea what to expect or what I was walking in to, Leatha was there with an informed but sympathetic guiding hands. She is beyond personable and even in the most difficult and emotional time, she can help you stay focused on the ultimate goal. Her knowledge of Florida divorce law is impeccable. Every time I walked out of her office, I felt a relief. She is understanding and supportive and professional. She is the one you want on your side during these difficult times.

I have been blessed to have had Ms. LeBlanc as my family law attorney for several years. Circumstances has caused me to deal with several different attorneys in various areas of law, which has caused me to become fairly experienced. I would also not consider my family law case a simple or straightforward one. Ms. LeBlanc has not only met my expectations, but has often far exceeded them. She is not only an intelligent and competent attorney, her character is one of honesty and kindness, and she is an all around beautiful person. She is thoughtful and compassionate. She will fight for you, but she will not mislead you either. These are all qualities that are so important to find in an attorney, and Ms. LeBlanc possesses them all. She has not only been a tremendous asset to my family law case, but I have felt comfortable enough to reach out to her in regards to other legal matters. Ms. LeBlanc has always happily either been able to help me directly or has guided me in the right direction. She is easy to contact and has a great record in regards to getting back to you. I have personally recommended Ms. LeBlanc to countless others, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. You cannot go wrong with her and you will not be disappointed!

Amy was on top of the case from day one. She was reachable through e-mail, phone, and text; even after regular office hours. She knew exactly what she was doing and she not only cared about the case but also about me as a person. She was very supportive throughout the whole process. I knew I was in good hands when I first met her. Thanks you Amy for bringing my family together.

I had a dispute with with a dealer over a motorcycle warranty, purchased from a local Long Island dealer.... issued by an international motorcycle manufacturer. (part of the settlement was that I keep it confidential) First, I tried to settle with the dealer in small claims court. No success. I met with Aida..and she suggested we sue both the dealer and the manufacturer in Supreme Court in NY. She was unbelievable. After several conferences, she got the manufacturer to settle for three times my damages. It was great...we were Davey against Goliath...and she won big time.

Mike Fowler was a personal acquaintance that was there for me when I needed him. My aunt became ill and caught up in the 'elder care system' last year and was in and out of rehab facilities and nursing care. I reached out to him and his daughter for some much needed advice on how to navigate a very poorly run system. I am very thankful to have had them both at such a trying time in our family's hour of need.

Mr. Alexzander Gonano is a true pro. He is great at returning phone calls. He is extremely knowledgeable. I am a tenant and have a very difficult landlord. There are many troublling issues with the property I am renting. I told Mr. Gonano about them and while I didn't like the cold hearted truth about the law protecting the landlord in such a way I absolutly appreciated his honest to the point truth about my issue. Saving me the time and the money of having to fight a losing battle. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Gonano told me I had options. I just didn't like them enough to spend the money. So even though, I did not retain him, I would in a heartbeat as long as I knew that I had the upper hand. By the FYI, I did retain a different lawyer before speaking with Mr. Gonano, and was given false hope for the money. I have since fired that attorney!

I hired Mr. Hale to handle an estate probate, investment transfer, and house re-deeding. At our introductory meeting, he made my entire family feel comfortable. He spoke to my elderly mother with respect using terminology that she could understand. Since I live in Palm Beach County, he let me know that we wouldn't need to meet often in person, that we could transfer documents via mail and correspond via email and phone. Brandon's availability via email was a huge time saver for me. He and his associates took care of everything that came up and Brandon communicated every step of the way. The level of guidance, communication, and expedience far exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend Brandon Hale.

I have had three legal matters taken care of by Attorney Clay Yates over the past year or so, two of which had to do with my buisness and the other was personal. I referred a close family friend to Clay for preperation of his will. Clay got the job done and he got it done right. He was dependable, friendly and sincere. He quoted my friend a very fair amount to prepare his will. At the time of completion, Clay charged him $100. less than he quoted. That was a nice gesture and made an impression on me. I would not hesitate to retain Clay in the future and I highly recommend his services for anybody in need of a fine attorney.

Mike McSoley has helped me several times with various real estate ventures. I own many rental properties with several other investors through an LLC, and Mr. McSoley helped us to write our Operating Agreement as well as all of our individual leases. He has also given us legal advice regarding a dispute with an HOA and regarding eviction of tenants. I have also paid him to look over several contracts for me, and his advice and insight was quite helpful. I feel like Mr. McSoley is very honest and has integrity. He charges a fair rate, and I have always found it worth the money to have him look at things for me. I highly recommend him for document review and any advice regarding real estate.

I am a previously and current client with this practice. Previously, in the year 2009, I had a disability case where one of the lloyd brothers did an excellent job. No, complaints with that. For the past few years, I have had to return back to the workforce. I had an accident in 2022, and last year, i finally cleared the workman's comp part and still have the PI case! It's the personal injury department that I have dissatisfaction with. I don't have the same paralegal that I started out with, and it is very frustrating for me that there was no constant communication for months, and I understand that I'm not the only client they have, but it is very unsettling for me to feel like I'm a burden to someone that is supposed to represent me. It's just upsets me that whatever frustration is going on, professionally, the client shouldn't have to hear It through the phone, or see it because now i feel like my situition is a burden to someone that is paid to represent me. There are some things that have also been brought to my attention, but I will only display once I have experienced it myself. I hope I won't have to, though, but this is the only department that didn't make me feel as an important client than the others. To be clear, it's not the whole department, just the one who is assigned to me, and I just didn't want to mention a name yet! I pray it gets better!
