DON’T TRUST HER... Worst attorney ever I hired her to try and get my $1700 security deposit back from my landlord.
She never kept me updated on costs because she always told me that she was going to win and collect her fees from the landlord she even booked a court date for 8 hours even the judge made a comment about all that time over a landlord dispute. Now after 3 years she wants to charge me $8000 over something I was just trying to get my $1700 back... DON’T TRUST HER!

My husband and I have both used Ms. Uri for all of our estate planning needs. It was a pleasure working with an attorney who is well versed on every concern or questions we had and was able to clearly convey the answers and explanations to the laws, as well as offering practical and helpful suggestions for achieving our intended goals.

Reuben Doupe’ is one of the finest Marital Family Law attorneys in Florida and I am thankful Reuben was my attorney during my divorce experience. I hired Reuben to represent me during a very contentious and lengthy divorce which, due to no fault of Reuben’s, was perpetuated by my malicious and litigious ex-spouse. Through years of motions, hearings, depositions, mediations, and trials, Reuben remained diligent and dedicated to doing everything within his power and the law to protect my best interest and those of my children. Reuben skillfully navigated through my high-conflict divorce, child custody/visitation issues, child support issues, and alimony issues with great professionalism, knowledge, and experience. And when the time arose, Reuben’s expertise, skill, and integrity are never more evident than when he was in court litigating. Reuben is a fierce litigator who will fight for his clients. Reuben is well-respected by his peers, and feared by lesser attorneys, because Reuben is ethical. Reuben works hard for his clients in and out of the courtroom and the proof is in the outcome for his clients. I proudly recommend Reuben to all my friends.

I hired Reuben over 5 years ago to initiate, negotiate and settle my divorce. My divorce was extremely high conflict, resulting in many emails, child custody issues, and court dates. Reuben was always available to take my calls, emails and concerns. If he was not in the office, his paralegal was always on standby to relay messages and respond within hours. I am very impressed with this attorney and have recommended him in the past to many people who have used him and thought he goes above and beyond for his clients. His ethics are unquestionable and he will always make the best choices for your case. People need to realize that divorce is ugly and painful. We will not always get our way, but the attorneys are there to offer a middle ground. A client's only hope is that they have a truthful, honest, and knowledgeable attorney to lead them through the darkness of divorce, so that they will come out in the light. Reuben can and will do this for you. I stand by him like he stood by me.

This attorney was recommended by an attorney-friend of Mr. Doupe's in Fort Myers, so I hired Mr. Doupe' for my divorce case thinking he was from Naples. I was under the impression he was a Naples attorney only to find out he did 95% of his work as referrals from Fort Myers. This was a well-known divorce case and he did nothing to find necessary and imperative discovery of marital assets for me in my thirteen year marriage or even file for temporary alimony for support since I am in my 70's. He was unethical and unprofessional because he worked against me and with my husband's attorney to get my husband everything. I paid this attorney $14,000 in five months and I ended up being intimidated and pressured over and over to sign the MSA and not go to trial. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone who needs an attorney to truly represent their case in an ethical and professional manner and to be fair and honest in all circumstances.

From my personal experience, Kristen Rodger is an outstanding professional. She is a very detail-oriented, sharp, knowledgeable, and honest individual. Kristen Rodger went above and beyond in helping me navigate difficult legal negotiations. Because of her guidance, support, and legal advice I was able to get the positive outcome in my case. On a personal note, she is very tactful and sympathetic. I would strongly recommend her for any type of legal representation.

Kristen was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She took so much time with me and never made me feel rushed. She is very thorough and fought very hard for me. I ended up with the best possible outcome for my case. Did I mention she gives her cell number to clients and you can text her almost any time?
I highly recommend and was beyond pleasantly surprised. Very fairly priced and went above and beyond for me. Although I hope to never need her services again (ha!), I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Kristen!

Mr. Korn is a very conscientious and thorough attorney. He made me feel at ease during the process and was always easily accessible. I felt very confident in his abilities as he never minced words and was very honest with me throughout. If I am ever in need of any attorney in the future, Mr. Korn will be the first person I turn to.

I hired him for a child support case. He never communicated with me. I never receive updates on my case or communication on what steps to take next. He never advised me when I had to go to court. He never went to court with me. He always told me to go to court by myself and to just say whatever I could to the judge. He can be great for criminal defense but he is not a good representative for fathers in family cases.

I'll keep it professional. My experience and opinion of Michael Schneider is not positive, admirable, or favorable in the least. He was retained to file a dismissal, he refused, and cut off contact with me until it was optimal for himself.
My case! after being reviewed at cost by no less than Seven Attorneys has been described as a Civil case at best...Gone rouge...Bartered...and allowed to be charged/classified as two Felonies....One of the Attorneys is still under retainer after 16 years. We may make Law history thanks to Mr Schneider...I'll keep it at that..Any questions ? Find yourself welcomed to contact me.

If you have a small-potatoes, run-of-the-mill divorce, go ahead and hire her. If you need someone on top of their game and aggressive, go elsewhere. She did not respond to e-mails, did not send me copies of correspondence, ignored deadlines, and became snarky and nasty when her methodology was questioned. Cost me thousands and reaped me hundreds.

Suzanne is an extraordinary attorney who helped me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Her professionalism and knowledge about family law was impressive and reassuring.

My son hired attorney Lucarelli for his legal matters. I was amazed at the care and concern this attorney showed my son. His knowledge and expertise were also second to none. For any serious legal matter, I would highly recommend this attorney. He is a genuine man who will work hard for you. How many other attorneys give out their cell phone number and tell you to call anytime. Mr. Lucarelli is a hero.

I hired Mr. Lucarelli after I was stopped for a driving infraction that landed me in jail.
I paid a retainer hoping that a resolution to this offense would happen with good to fair results. I spoke to this attorney from jail and he assured me that I was in good hands. After spending quit a bit of time in jail and speaking to the prosecutor about my case personly , I feel that more could have and should have been done to help me. I was not satisfied with my council's attention to detail or the general legal guidence I recevied. Im sure this attorney is a good one but in my particular case I feel my representation legally speaking was lackluster. This is my experence and I felt it my oblagation to share my experence.

I have used Mr Lucarelli legal services on a couple of occasions and I was pleased to find an attorney who really cares about me. He spent the time to get to know me and understand my issues. I think the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer is how much the lawyer truly cares about his client. I can say without reservation attorney Lucarelli treated me like family.

I am so very appreciative for the time and attention given to me by Attorney Mark Youngblood.
His patience and care made this a much less terrifying experience. I was completely naive and Mark always took the time to thoroughly answer my questions. He clearly presented options as they unfolded and let my specific needs shape the way in which he handled the case. Ultimately, his advice, patience, experience, and hard work, opened favorable possibilities.
I am so extremely pleased, with the outcome of my case. I feel most fortunate is my lawyer.

Marc is highly skilled at balancing pragmatic approaches while still vigorously pursuing aggressive outcomes. I have worked with many more expensive attorneys, but never one so focused on his clients' best outcome. His is not a style of bluster and posturing. He knew our case thoroughly and waited patiently for opportune moments to champion his well conceived strategies. Too notch - in every way. I felt like he was in my corner from beginning to end. He seemed to feel the ups and inevitable downs (almost) as keenly as I did. Youngblood is a huge asset for anyone contending with the Florida legal system.

Had we stayed with him my innocent son would be serving 5 yrs w/10 yrs probation. He was late for court twice both early trial calls so it wasn't like he was tied up in court elsewhere. Not prepared, canceled numerous meetings, no objections to a witness being led , no counter offer on states offer. Thank God we went elsewhere from Musca law it took a new law firm 2 days to get a plea deal to keep our innocent son from going to jail . We had been with Musca 1 1/2 yrs. He just didn't seem to care. Except when more money was needed. Very dry think twice is my opinion.

I have been using Lee Hollander for any legal issues for almost 10 years, a total of 3 cases. The first case, he got thrown out the day I went to 24-Hour Court for a VOP. The second case was a habitual felony case and he got me probation, and even after a violation, I was out of jail at my first court date, with just a year of extra probation, that later he terminated for me anyway. The third case was for my family member, and he had her felony dropped to a misdemeanor and all she had to do was 10 classes, once a week. He's honest, I would go so far as to say blunt; some people may not be used to that. He does NOT sugarcoat things, but who wants a bull-****ter? He is excellent at what he does, he's been on both sides, and he loves it.

Jim and his firm are very epensive so you would think that they'd be responsive. It generally took 5+ emails before I'd get a reply. He rarely did what he said he was going to do, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to find another attorney as I'd invested my time and a couple grand with them already. I guess he and his firm have enough work to do where the simple things, like replying to and informing clients, isnt high on his list.

He; along with his firm Musca Law; claim "vigorous" defense in their ads and charge a minimum $2000 retainer. I had a minor traffic case that he plead out almost immediately (less than a week) for me to receive 1 year of mail-in probation. I later found-out from my new lawyer....as well as from several consultations from other lawyers that the deal I took was horrible based on the charges.....and the only explanation any of them could give me is that he clearly didn't put any time or true effort into my defense. I thought for the sizeable amount I spent paying for him I'd receive better effort on his part. I paid several thousand dollars for a deal I could have worked-out for free myself.

My day to day is filled with busyness and just when I thought I could handle my plate, it toppled over. I reached out to Mr. Chillemi and he was a godsend. He knew exactly what to do and how to proceed. His confidence and instruction lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I felt as though I barely lifted a finger. His compassion and dedication as well as his intellect are an advantageous set of skills to whomever he is representing. He succeeded in the courtroom, and I cannot thank him enough.

Don’t let the 5 star reviews fool you! If you enjoy wasting your hard earned money on a lazy, worthless attorney, then by all means, proceed with James. He’ll talk a good game until it’s time to act on it, and then you’re left with $10,000 less in your account and someone who bent you over the table. And no, not in the fun way! Not only did we have a slam dunk case, which he said from the beginning, he failed to actually follow through retaining information and pursuing further. He just took the $$ and that was it.

When there are few willing to fight the hard fight - real fighters stand up - and accept the challenges of arguing a legal case to the best of their ability - ALL IN! Mr. Chillemi made sure that I feel that he's ALL IN! An amazing feeling when dealing with legal matters to say the least. Thank you Sir. - Thank you for protecting my family and I, to the best of your ability. SALUTE!

My criminal charges were violent but my children were in no way connected to those allegations. Upon release from custody i was awarded full custody of my daughter did to Ms Brennans excellent job at trial(while I'm wearing an orange jumpsuit). She won almost every objection and ultimately won my trial beating the all powerful DCF. She is very knowledgeable and fought hard for me. Highly recommend.

Beverly Brennan was hired by me in March of 2015 for a parenting plan agreement. I paid the retainer amount requested and signed the agreement which stated the hourly fee as well as the fact that I would receive monthly billing statements. Over a year went by throughout the case from start to finish and I expressed to Mrs. Brennan the need to keep costs low during our initial conversation as I do not have much. Not receiving monthly statements of my account as outlined in her agreement gave me the impression that my retainer was still being used. When the case was successfully settled, I received a whopping invoice for over three times the amount of the original retainer without any prior disclosure or monthly billing statement (which was outlined as common practice in her agreement). When I emailed her regarding my concern, my email went ignored and a month later, I had received a bill from a collections company for the total amount. Beware of this attorney as she had no problem escalating charges without my interest in mind and secretly kept the accruing amount to herself despite what her retainer agreement states otherwise. If a legal document states that I should expect monthly billing statements (as my other attorneys have done in the past), then when I am not receiving them, I naturally assume that the retainer amount was sufficient. I am now contacting the Florida Bar Association and filing a formal complaint as I have found discrepencies on her invoice for billed phone time in excess of what my phone records show. Makes me wonder about the emails as well as she has billed me for emails sent on dates that cannot be validated through documentation. One month she claims she emailed me a couple of times ($120 worth) and I have only one email from her for that month that states she was on vacation. Sad part is that now I am stuck with an absorbant bill in collections and am left to the assistance of only the Florida Bar Association.

He will give you postive advice, charge a retainer, then no results. . Bills make NO sense. This attorney will advise you of a strategy then NEVER follow up on his plan. He is not aggressive. Will NOT Zealously defend you and is interested only in how much money he can charge you. He wont fight for you, He will go into court completly un prepared, he will say nothing when he should and he will say to you that judge is having a bad day is better be quiet then come out with cute little sayings like "they never put a glove on you". He should NOT be practicing law. . This person gave me some pretty strong advice, then again nothing done but poor results His billings and coorespondence all end with the closure of "please contact us if you have any questions" He WILL NOT return phone calls especially when he knows they could involve any constructive confrontation or direct questions regarding failed execution of HIS plans for defense. He is a real joke for an attorney and he has taken $7000.00 of my money and given me almost Nothing in return a very little money in alimony and 400 on child support from a dad make more than 10000 a month, be smart Avoid this person and look for better lawyer he is the worst please don't do it or you will regret your decision like me, on the road no money and a huge Bill to Holloway

I had a problem with a real estate deal. The buyer tried to back out of the contract and would not agree that I was allowed to keep the deposit. Mr. Holloway immediately filed a lawsuit and got a very good settlement for me. I was very impressed with how good he was at negotiating. I would hire John Holloway again and would recommend him very highly to everyone.

Mr. Holloway has always taken the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, and also caution what possible negative outcome or delay might arise. I felt well informed and prepared for a variety of responses from the opposing party, and was assured there was a plan of action waiting for each of them. He listened carefully to my concerns or apprehensions, and if further research was needed to give me an answer, it was usually handled immediately or within the same day.

Attorney Blake Lange with Morgan and Morgan was referred to me by a friend who also happens to be a previous client of his. Initially I was very hesitant to reach out to an attorney with a big firm; I was worried my case would not get the attention it deserved. I can honestly say, nothing could be further from the truth. Mr. Lange and his team were incredibly professional, responsive and most importantly compassionate. I highly recommend.

We called Morgan and Morgan for a workman's comp case. They took our case and assigned us to Attorney Blake Lange .From the beggining this has been a nightmare. They never give you answers, they take weeks to return calls, and the assistants Carlos and Alisha are horrible. They can never answer any questions. They lead you on with incorrect information .They don't care about cases unless they are big money makers and are laid out for them so they barely have to do any work .My husband is being left with a bunch of bills, no help, no answers, and behind on all our bills because he was out of work and owes medical bills .They are not even getting the medical bills covered or lost wages. It has been 6 months now with them doing nothing. Were about to loose our home and everything we worked hard for and they don't even have the decency to return a phone call. If you are hurt do not go here. Call a smallrs firm that is still hungry enough to fight for you and still believes in justice for the injured. Morgan and Morgan and Attorney Blake Lange only want big settlement cases that are blatantly easy so they get a big pay out. Because they take half of what you get! They are the worst ever .

First off this claim is from 2016, I had injured my knee while working and when workers comp began to give me issues I unfortunutly decided to lawyer up. I choose Morgan and Morgan after going through several previous cases and thought this would be the easiest and most simple way of handling my situation. Man was I wrong, 2 years later I'm unable to work becuse the injury was never fully fixed becuse MR. Lange advised me to settle becuse I had a previous injury that was fully fixed and documented. On top of it all I also have a medical bill that surfaced on my credit report 6 months ago, I have been trying to reach Mr. Lange to help me resolve this small issue and have had no response. I don't know if it's becuse I was 18 and and easy paycheck for him, or whether the case helped his standings, but I feel extremely neglected and taken advantage of, not once did I ever meet Mr. Lange in person. please return my call and at least help me fix this issue so I can put this nightmare behind me.

Kevin Lottes was hired to close the sale of my condominium in Naples Florida and file my application for FIRPTA. After telling me he had extensive. experience in this area he not only failed to make the necessary application in a timely manner, he failed to intercede on my behalf when problems occurred with an opposing counsel and passed on my file to someone else in his firm without notifying me and never responded further to any emails. I am now having to wait perhaps up to a year to recover tens of thousands dollars from the IRS unnecessarily. Based on this experience I cannot recommend this lawyer.

We have worked together for 7 years. As a Florida Licensed REALTOR it is important, for me, to work with people who work like me. I am proactive so having a Real Estate attorney who keeps me ahead of the process is key for me. Kevin has seen my buyers and I thru some interesting scenarios bringing us all to successful closings. Comments to my customers always includes, "do not move forward without a qualified Real Estate attorney". Kevin Lottes is always on the top of my attorney referral list. We are currently working on a closing.

He was not aware of the details in my case after having my case file on his desk for couple of months. He would not return my phone calls. I met this person for the first time during my court date, five minutes before being called in front of the judge, after sitting in the court room for two hours and watching his unprofessinalism and disorganization with the rest of all his other clients called up before me. We spoke brifely for less then 5 minute and he had the odasaty to cut me off and not hear anything I had to say and we took off on the wrong terms right from the start. I will never recommend him to anyone ever.

Mr. Bazaz lied to me he took money to start my case and open it up we had a plan in place and the first plan didn't work and he refused to answer my emails or my phone calls after that plan did not work so we can move on to the next plan which was to go to court. Never explain why he never said anything about stopping my case he just stopped talking to me that is terrible way run a law firm to take my money and then never respond to me again. He should be taken off the Bar Association

Sal is a great attorney who explains the process clearly and doesn't promise anything. However, through his expertise and knowledge of the law he is sure to fight your case and answer any questions at any time of day. Both my cases were dismissed. He is well known throughout Southwest Florida.

She charged me $325 for a one hour consultation. She did not listen to my concerns, she was rude, she didn't thank me and she never followed up with me. Strange and extremely unprofessional.

Sarah handled my divorce in a very professional manner. She was sensitive to my needs and respected my desire to handle the divorce in a positive way. Sarah was at all times kind, thoughtful and responsive to my questions and concerns. I am very pleased, as well, with the treatment I received from everyone in the office.
