Wanda was very thorough as far as communicating with me every step of the way as to what was happening with my case.

Ms. Reas has handled several civil cases for me over the past 5 years. I have never experienced a more professional yet "down to earth" attorney. By that comment I mean that Ms. Reas has true empathy - she actually cares. That level of commitment coupled with her knowledge of the law and civil procedure make her the type of attorney you definitely want on your side. Honest and fair with a tenacious willingness to fight for her client(s) I would recommend Ms. Reas to anyone in need of the services that she provides. Retain Ms. Reas and you will sleep well at night knowing that your case in capable and winning hands.

Mr. Petersen is extremely knowledgable in consumer debt collection and consumer collection cases. Hired this attorney for an aggressive debt collector that had incorrectly reported to credit report and was calling continually, violating several laws. He was able to quickly resolve the issue and represent me in the court case. He thoroughly understands and defends consumer rights against these companies that will try to bully you while they knowingly violate laws, and I had utmost confidence in his handling he case. He is on your side as a consumer, and fee structure was very fair. I have hired numerous attorneys over the years for different needs, and for consumer collection and litigation he is the best I've hired, can't recommend enough.

Navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce proceedings across state lines is akin to traversing a legal labyrinth. When my boyfriend found himself embroiled in such a situation—his marital saga spanning South Florida to Pennsylvania, with three children in the balance—the task of finding competent legal representation seemed daunting. Enter Melissa Alfonso, a beacon of hope amidst the legal quagmire. Hired as the third attorney in our quest for resolution, Melissa immediately distinguished herself through her proactive approach and unwavering commitment to our case. From the outset, Melissa exhibited a depth of understanding and insight that surpassed our previous experiences. Unlike her predecessors, she didn't just handle the legal paperwork; she immersed herself in our situation, offering invaluable guidance and strategic direction. Communication, often a sore point in legal matters, became a cornerstone of Melissa's practice. She kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we were equipped with the knowledge and clarity necessary to navigate the complexities of the legal process. In a high-conflict scenario exacerbated by the presence of a formidable opponent—a seasoned litigator known colloquially as the "battle axe" of the Seminole County Court—Melissa proved to be an indomitable force. Refusing to be intimidated, she met each challenge head-on, skillfully advocating for my boyfriend's rights with poise and determination. Even in the face of an initially unfavorable judgment, Melissa's tenacity remained unwavering. Armed with a meticulous understanding of the case and pertinent legal precedents, she crafted a compelling motion, exposing the glaring injustices of the ruling and championing my boyfriend's right to due process. Though our journey is far from over, Melissa's exceptional advocacy has been nothing short of remarkable. In her capable hands, we find solace amidst the legal storm, confident that justice will ultimately prevail. Melissa Alfonso isn't just an attorney; she's a lifesaver, guiding us through the darkest of legal turbulences with unwavering expertise and compassion.

I hired Laura not too long ago to help me with a Domestic Violence Injunction. Laura was always by my side and was on top of the case. She was there to answer my calls right away after dialing, whether at Midnight or Early in the morning. She did the same for any E-Mails sent to us, providing us with any documents that would be needed for the outcome we wished for. Then came the day of the hearing. She was punctual and there early, and she was sharp and was able to persuade the judge to go in a manner that is greatly done. Normally, Injunctions only last for about 1 - 2 years. But, with Laura's help we got an answer that seemed impossible, a ten year injunction. We got an answer that went beyond out expectations. I would recommend Laura for anyone. If you are reading this, Thank You Laura!

I'm glad I hired Phil because he just what I needed during a very challenging and tough divorce case and after using a previous attorney to no avail. He was attentive to my situation, was very patient, and understood that there is an extremely important emotional, personal component which surrounds the client and in which he was able to deeply and competently empathize with. Not coming from a legal background, Phil took time to explain legal matters in a way I understood, no question, matter was too small for Phil. Phil and his staff were very responsive to my email/phone inquiries, I can't remember when one call/email was not responded in a timely manner. Phil was always in a position to hear me out and not discard, discredit what I had to say...Very respectful, very personable, down-to-earth, relatable. My case was complicated and Phil was able to expertly analyze my case and provide effective solutions. I told Phil for the very first time that I never wanted to go court and successfully we never did! Every time I walked into his office, Phil and his staff made me feel right at home. I'm glad I hired Phil.

Ms. Cooper was empathetic and understanding in a most professional way. She explained my legal problems in a way I could truly grasp the gravity, and provided options and explanations of the pros and cons of each option. When I first consulted with Ms. Cooper, I went in scared, feeling defeated, and utterly weary. Ms. Copper was most kind and very patient. Upon leaving, I felt much more informed, armed with options and the knowledge for making the best choice for me, and the confidence to face my legal issues and see them through. I had no idea of my rights and responsibilities until Ms. Cooper educated me and she answered all of my questions, thoroughly, most of which were answered before asked.

I couldn’t have received a better lawyer than Lewis! From the start to the end, he was very attentive. It wasn’t the case of chasing your lawyer to get things done, he got things done that I didn’t even know that needed to be done. He explained all my options and scenarios we would have during meditation and court. He was very attentive and quick to communicate with us and the courts. He got questions answered for us and we never worried about it he would get back to us. Lewis has beyond amazing communication skills that made this very difficult situation, very easy to understand. With my case, my family was being falsely evicted and we were also dealing with neglect on maintenance at the property we were living at. Thankfully we were able to resolve everything in court, we won, and everything was in our favor. I can’t thank Lewis enough for the job that he’s done.

My father came up injured after being hit by a car on the street while he was having his regular evening walk. The disaster turned our family’s life upside down. It was really bad. Immediately after I got my father the emergency medical treatment, I contacted Louis Berk Law Firm for legal assistance. I knew my father was rightful to compensation, but we were in doubt whether the settlement amount would be just. Touchwood, the entire procedure seemed so easy with the attorneys. Beyond my expectations, with Attorney Louis’s guidance, we received adequate compensation from the car owner’s insurance company. My attorney listened to me very carefully at the very first consultation, and the communication has been clear throughout. Legal representation was direct and sharp. Payment has been made on a contingency basis. My father has recovered a lot. He is still under treatment, but now we are relieved. I am really thankful to Louis Berk Law Firm.

She was extremely knowledgeable about my legal problem but felt I was better suited for another attorney! I felt a review was the least I could do seeing as she took the time to hear me out for free and refer me to another attorney she felt was best suited for my situation. It's difficult to find someone who will put your best interest in front of there financial gain and for this reason alone i felt she showed her true character that my outcome meant more than her bottom line!

Nick could not have been a better match for me and my personality. Attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond and takes the time to focus on his client constantly. I never had a question that went unanswered, if he didn't know the answer he found out. He isn't out to win you over, he is here for you in hopes of making you smile again and look at a positive light. Very uplifting, positive, encouraging and amazing attorney and person. I will be able to look at a negative impact on a part of my life in a more positive reassuring nature. I cannot put into words my thoughts or feelings on how I truly feel and what his representation has done for me. He will always have a special place in mine and my family's heart.

I reached out to her firm for a free consultation and was lucky enough to have Rachel respond to my message. She went above and beyond what I'd expected for a consultation. We spent a few days going back and forth; she took the time to research the actual issue and provide me with a few options on top of the firm's quote. I couldn't be happier with how kind, responsive, and helpful she was. It's a genuine pleasure to unknowingly run into people like this in life... she's the kind of person that actually cares. I certainly recommend reaching out to her if you're unsure what needs to be done. Thank you so much!

Wow, I don’t know where to start. The results obtained by my Attorney were more than favorable and far exceeded my expectations of an Attorney/Client experience. I highly recommend the Corey I. Cohen & Associates Law Firm, especially Mrs. Rachel Shaw. She was highly professional, communicative, friendly, hopeful, experienced, and will give you the attention you need. Not once did she say she was too busy, or needed more time to speak etc. A majority of my fears were removed upon our first discussion, from there on things just continued to get better. I couldn’t be more thrilled with her results and her teams ability to take care of me, from this day forth I will vehemently recommend her and her team. Thank you more than I know how to convey!

We are still waiting final decision in our case, but Ms. Ward has been a steady bridge over the rough waters of the immigration process. I have nothing but complete faith in her ability, skill, dedication, and knowledge in this process and she, as well as the entire office staff, have been nothing but a pleasure to work with. While ours is a relatively "simple" case, I have no issues with highly recommending Dina for any case. It feels more like a partnership reaching a goal than a simple hiring of an attorney, which is a very comforting feeling. The initial consultation was completely without pressure, unlike some other attorneys we spoke with in the past, and solidified my confidence in her. She has always been very responsive to our questions and concerns, providing reliable counsel with fact and professional opinion, which we have come to trust implicitly. Dina will be our counsel from here on out on any immigration issue that we may face in the future, and if you are looking for a recommendation, I will personally give her my highest possible!

Words cannot express what an amazing attorney David Hill is! A family member had a legal issue and he went above and beyond to get the best outcome on the case. He is a kind, honest, and reasonable person, which is a Big plus. He also communicated and handled the case in a professional manner and answered all calls, texts, and emails. I can't thank him enough! I give David Hill my highest recommendation. In my opinion, he's the best in his field.

We hired David about a year ago to help our teenage son. He made a bad decision, got involved with drugs and paid the consequences. David was professional and understanding and went above and beyond in handling the case and was able to achieve excellent results! It was a very difficult time for us. He was always available, non-judgemental and guided us all the way. He is truly one of a kind. We recommend him without reservation.

Attorney Hill, represented me in a DUI case what I thought would be the end of my career. I never appeared in court from the beginning to the end, and the case was thrown out, I would highly recommend attorney Hill, he will explain clearly and honesty what he can and/or can not do, me myself would any day without a doubt recommend attorney Hill. He goes beyond and above the call of duty. Very professional and honesty individual, he's not in for the $$$, he's a true professional from his heart of gold. :-)!

In October 2015, My husband was a passenger in a horrible car accident and was hospitalized for two months. After being in ICU for a little over a month , I reached out to Mr. Corzo and He met me in the hospital a day after. Since my husband was still unconscious and in ICU I decided to hire Mr.Corzo for Davids personal injury and workers compensation case. From the moment I met Mr.Corzo he was very emphatic and attentive to all my questions and concerns. Anytime I would email him with a question he would get back to me right away. I would even email/text his paralegal Denise after hours if I had any questions and she would get back to me within a hour. Mr. Corzo made sure he fully explained and went over everything with us before we made any decisions. Mr. Corzo went out of his way to make sure David was taken care of. After my husband was released from the hospital, Mr. Corzo called and checked up on David and made sure he was getting the care he needed. I truly believe Mr. Corzo went above and beyond for my husband in winning both cases. We are extremely blessed with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone that may need a lawyer. Due to my husbands injuries we will need to apply for disability, Mr.Corzo offered to help us fill out the paper work and make sure everything is done correctly. We can't THANK him enough for all that he has done for our family. #Thankful

      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

  • 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:
