Did I hate my situation and needing lawyers in the first place? Sure. Did I LOVE the incredible work by Freeman Injury Law? Absolutely. Ken, Carl, Jill and Sanja were an outstanding source of expertise and support. My experience with them was wonderful. I recommend them highly. They are just fantastic.

This was my second experience with a family law attorney for my custody case. I was represented my Ophelia Bernal-Mora. Unlike the first time I had an attorney, I walked away from the case feeling like I was represented by someone who clearly was representing my interests, knew what she was doing, and moreover, cared! She is extremely knowledgeable (heck she is board certified and worth every penny!) and when there is another modification or contempt issue filed in my case, she will be the attorney I go to without hesitation. She is very up to date on case law and the laws and I think knew more than the judge we had did. She does not overbill or nickel and dime on her billing like I experienced with my first attorney. It can get expensive, but I think you get what you pay for and for a board certified family law attorney which there are not many from what I could find, her prices are pretty reasonable. Her firm also no charged many many items throughout my case to my surprise and satisfaction. She is clearly not in it just for the money and wants to help people. I cannot thank her enough! Save yourself the trouble and don't let your ex hire her first! You will not be disappointed! She is very professional and does not get bullied by other attorneys.

I recently needed her again for advice 5 years later and she picked right up where we left off with same great service and responsiveness. No long, drawn out consultations to run up the meter, just great advice and execution! Don’t bother with anyone else.

There are not enough words to describe the work Andrew did for me! I WILL ETERNALLY BE GRATEFUL for the precise and over the top work him and his team performed. Andrew was the third (3rd) lawyer in my case, which was extended for years due to incompetent lawyers on both ends (my ex-wife and mine). Andrew handled in one week what others couldn't do in years, it was amazing! . Just the first day he responded and scheduled everything in no time. He made the process so easy to understand and follow up, his intentions are for the divorce ends in the best way possible and make the children involved get the best as it should be. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANDREW! His work ethics and dedication are second to none.

Orlando Family Team and Attorney Andrew Nickolaou have been so great to work with! The office staff is pleasant and responsive and the attention to my case has been very well handled with great detail. Mr. Nickolaou is so professional and I really appreciate this law firm very much!! Without him, my divorce would not have gone as well as it did. He is always responsive to my phone calls, emails and questions, and on many occasions tells it how it is without sugar coating it which sometimes you need to hear when going through such a rollercoaster of a time in your life. A+++ all around for this law firm. Thank you so much.

Where do I start? I hired Andrew 2 years ago for a divorce and he's been a godsend. I don't think I would've been able to get through my divorce without him. He was always available to speak with me and answer my questions even if they were silly. He is very sharp and on top of his career. He knows his stuff. I had a rather complicated divorce and a difficult ex and he handled it like a champ every step of the way. Im very grateful to have found Andrew and his firm. I really do think that you can't go wrong with hiring him. And even better he's not like many attorneys he's very personable and easy to talk to. Thank you so much!

I had never needed a lawyer before. I did not want a billboard lawyer and was doing some research online. When I came across Sarah I just instinctively KNEW. From our first meeting to the end of the case I felt like a person in need who mattered, not just another client. She and her staff really take the time to develop a relationship with you and put your needs first. I felt like I was in a jungle with no idea what to do. Her kindness, empathy, professionalism, and knowledge helped me out of the dark place I was in and got me back to feeling whole. The entire process was taken care of. I did not have to worry about anything. She and her staff took care of even the smallest details you never know you need help with after an accident. I was in another accident yrs after the first and was terrified. It was a Holiday and I just left her a message. I did not have to wait at all... she personally called me back at the scene and took the time to help me through yet another dark place. I can’t say enough about Sarah and how she truly cares about YOU, your wellbeing and getting you back to whole. Everything about the experience of working with her was absolute perfection.

The first time I was in a car wreck, I was referred to Sarah Goldman through a family attorney who had worked with my parents for some time. The second time I was in a wreck, I called Goldman Law from the scene and had an appointment scheduled the next day. Sarah is an excellent attorney. She's approachable, extremely professional, and easy to contact with questions about the case. In both cases I was very pleased with the way my case was handled, and the settlements that resulted. If a friend or family member needed an advocate for a personal injury case, I would recommend Sarah Goldman wholeheartedly.

If you're reading this review, you are considering calling or using Alec Weber as your attorney. Chances are, it's because you are looking to hire someone to resolve a personal, family issue. You HAVE to call Alec immediately. Most of the time, this stuff is emotionally and financially stressful and it physically effects you. The first time I spoke with Alec, I got off the phone and felt 100 times better. That night I was actually able to sleep. The reason is because he was honest and educating, but allowed me to make the ultimate decision on how we were going to proceed. For the most part, we followed his exact guidance but when I was adamant on taking a slightly different route for one of the issues, he never judged and simply advised on a new way to proceed to protect me. He is incredibly down to earth and understanding. As busy as he is, he ALWAYS returned e-mails within a reasonable time and took phone calls when it was timely or important. For an emergency I had, he was able to resolve the urgent issue before it became a bigger problem. The other thing is lawyers can be expensive. And depending on what you need done, your bill can skyrocket. The thing I liked most about Alec is he always offered timely solutions. He NEVER did useless work and overcharged me and was always up front with the time that was going to be needed to resolve my issues. The office is beautiful, the service was great, and the advice and execution on his end was flawless. As I have used different family attorneys for different issues, I wish I found Alec first. I cannot stress enough how one phone call to him took away all of my anxiety. He is truly the best all around lawyer out there and successfully helped solve all of my problems. I sleep easy knowing that if I ever run into a future issue, he will be on hand with my absolute best interest.

I have dealt with many lawyers over the years, Vanessa is the best that I have dealt with. Even though she has not been practicing for a long time, her understanding of the law and research skills are top notch, you would think she has 30 years of experience when dealing with her. My experience with lawyers is similar to my experience with doctors, they don't get back to you, make you wait, and have limited patience. Vanessa is the opposite. She actually cares about her client, she will email at all times of the day or night, answer questions, text message, and calm nervous clients down. I had a recent experience in Family court, and her compassion will never be forgotten. I am not someone that normally writes reviews, I would suggest hiring her, you can trust her 100%, She can go head to head with any attorney in Florida.

During my 37 year career as a law enforcement officer and as Chief of Police for the past 16 years I have worked with many attorneys. Cliff Shepard is without a doubt on top of my list as an advocate for his clients. In recent litigation involving a multi million dollar lawsuit many lawyers wanted to settle the claim after arbitration. Cliff took the position we had done nothing wrong and insisted on going to trial if need be. As a result of his insistance the case proceeded and we prevailed with the court ultimately dismissing the claim totally.

Cliff handled a very sensitive civil litigation matter for me which involved mutiple parties and perfomed admirably. He was always conscious of who he represented (me!) and was enthusiastic about the pursuit of the case. He is a knowledgeable and aggressive litigator who can think on his feet, but above all, he is ethical. I certainly would engage him again.

We visited with two attorneys in an attempt to modify a Special Needs Trust with no success. A friend who had worked with Chuck Wilder recommended him to us. Within a short period of time he was able to modify the Trust as required. Because we were impressed with his knowledge, experience, personal character, and his ability to explain legal issues to lay persons, we decided to have him help us on another legal project - that of redoing our estate planning. Our situation was somewhat complicated but we were very satisfied with the results. In addition to Chuck Wilder's professional abilities, we were even more impressed with his human qualities. He is a very kind and sensitive man.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
