I would highly recommend Maritere Cullen! She was very thorough and detail oriented when collecting documentation for our case. Her attention to detail helped with a smooth immigration application process. Her knowledge of the process was extremely helpful with easing our nerves as we prepared for the interview. Maritere is honest, reliable and very easy to communicate with. We are forever grateful for her help in our case!

I retained Mrs. Cullen for a Child Support Case in Florida while I reside in Jamaica. She made the process very easy for me and explained everything that was happening while as we went along. I felt very confident with her and that it would work out in my favor which it did. I can not think of anything that she could have done any better. I was 100% pleased with her service.

Doug met with us, reviewed our outdated Last Wills and Testaments and Living Wills. Advised us on appropriate updates and prepared all new necessary documents after researching what our needs are based on our current status financially, family wise, and our age. He was easy to talk with. He listened to our concerns and went forward based on our input while at the same time advising us on current laws. We felt confident in his advice and secure knowing that we are properly prepared for our future and for our children's future.

My appreciation to Doug Coenson for his legal representation concerning my real estate issues with the Florida Real Estate Board. His knowledge of the Real Estate industry and his diligence concerning my specific appraisal infraction limited my exposure to penalty and kept my business moving forward with little loss of revenue. Thanks Doug.

Bryan Manno and Federated Law Group helped me out of a bad situation. They were always courteous and kind even though the situation was stressful. I would definitely do business with Federated Law again.

Bryan is extremely knowledgeable about the debt collection process and the legal proceedings involved in debt collection. He is easy to work with, but a tough litigator when he needs to be.

Mr. Johns has been the one and single good experience I have had in my many dealing with attorneys. I've had several encounters in the past, requiring legal advise and have travelled the treacherous road of litigation in the past, so I know how these things can end up. However, in all my dealings with Mr. Johns, I find him to be outstanding in his strategic logic and highly competent as an attorney that I needed in an immediate circumstance. Mr. Johns went right to work for me and discovered many things that worked to my benefit almost immediately. He is prompt in his responses to all communications, and I don't feel as though my bank account is being drained, as I had experienced in prior legal battles. This attorney (in my opinion) will definitely go places in life, not only professionally, but personally as well, because he really is doing the work of good "lawyering", The legal profession needs more attorney's like Mr. Johns,

Slimy ambulance chancing lawyers who post untruths online to try and get business. They should be sued for the lies they post online about people especially when those people are found to be innocent by the court of law. They don't care because all they want is money at the expense of someone else's lively hood. The only way they get business is by nefarious business practices. I wouldn't let them represent a rat in New York City!

Update to my 5 star review:
The office jerked me around with paying out my settlement funds for a month! I was told on 6/4 they had my settlement but justing waiting for a tiny partial but that I would get the full amount in 1-2 days, and that they would cover the cost to overnight the check to me. I hadn’t received a check nor did I hear back from them. I contacted the office on 6/25 where she told me they did not receive the last bit but said she would send out the check. I contact them again after not receiving anything days later. Not hearing back, I called the office on 7/1 stating that we still did not receive our check. She was surprised….I honestly don’t know why she would be, because we did receive the check that afternoon and it was not postmarked or mailed until four days later on 6/29. And they did not send it priority mail either. Oh they did send me an empty envelope postmarked the day prior. Bravo for holding onto my money necessitating several phone calls and emails in order to finally get my settlement. It’s a terrible last impression to leave someone.
You feel total despair when you’ve invested your life savings with a financial advisor you trusted and he screws you over with lots of alternative investments which paid him high commissions and left you hanging for years until most accounts dwindle down to nothing. Matt and Greg were both wonderful, patient and understanding even when I became emotionally difficult. One of the judges knew Greg and Matt, told us we had 2 of the best FINRA attorneys working with us! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with their hard work and our settlement. I highly recommend Matt and his entire staff.

She was not my lawyer but I did work with her and like the other review on this page, I can assure you, you are not of importance to her, in her life. She never responded to text messages regarding scheduling and when there was a mishap with scheduling, on her part, her first reaction (instead of paying me for my time) was to reach out and find a replacement. Utterly despicable.

Today we had a phone call conversation with Eleanor Taft and during the whole phone call she was very short and didn't have patience at all to wait for another colleague of mine to be on the phone call.
She makes you feel very little and not important when on the call. She is not very helpful at all as a lawyer and needs to learn how to be polite to client , vendors and others.
Ellie Taft is not a lawyer that you will want to work with. Her customer service, politeness and patience is very poor.
I do not recommend her at all.
