Jim White is an outstanding medical malpractice attorney who has handled cases for our practice in the past. He is a seasoned professional with a passion for law. He carefully reviewed the facts of the cases and advised the physicians appropriately. Jim is an experienced attorney that understood our issues.

Jim is a brilliant attorney, who listens to his clients and gets results. He is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I have consulted with him on several occasions. His preparation, attention to (medical) detail and presentation is simply outstanding. It is just second to none. I also know Jim and his family personally. He is a devoted father and sports coach to his children. I do not know any other attorney other than Jim, who personally travels across the country to get the correct information and depositions for his clients. Jim is an incredibly hard working, conscientious attorney, who cares about his clients and friends. I know.

I took on Ms. Barros to help me in my Disolution of Marriage (Divorce). She worked very hard for me. She was always in contact with me via phone or email. She was very patient, explained the processes and was very thorough during negotiations and while going over the various documents required for divorce proceedings. I felt comfortable with her and she was always pleasant and kind. She will stand up for you and get the best results possible. I highly recommend her, she's efficient, knowledgeable, and will follow through until the process is completed.

I have hired Mr. Sundarsingh over the years to represent me, as well as my company for several cases ranging from collections & contractual agreements to real estate disputes. Our company’s most recent case was handled by him. We went through a deposition & mediation and were headed for a trial but Mr. Sundarsingh was successfully able to settle in our favor. I have used other attorneys in the past but after working with Mr. Sundarsingh, I can say that he is not only incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent but has a true natural ability and strong instincts as a litigator. No matter the complexity of the case or how strong the opposition may be, I am always confident that he has the ability and resources to handle it. In each of the cases that he has represented me in, I've noticed that he has a strong rapport with the others in the courtroom including the judges and commands respect from his colleagues.

My family first hired attorney Jennifer Lipinski to help us with a situation ultimately resulting in the death of my beloved father. Jennifer was with a different firm at the time, and we loved her immediately. When she switched firms, she offered us the option of staying with the original firm, or moving with her to Gordon & Doner. We stayed with Jennifer. She worked for years on our case, showing compassion and clear explanations through every step of the case. Gordon & Doner made a great decision when they hired her!

He is intelligent, diligent, and is always well prepared to zealously represent his clients in order to obtain the best results. His passion as an advocate on behalf of his clients is unparalleled. Sean’s expertise and professionalism is also shared by his partners as well as the other members of his firm of Domnick, Cunningham & Whalen.

When you go through a catastrophic event such as what had happened to my son, finding the right lawyer to represent us was critical. We had contacted several lawyers and law firms, but felt strongly that we had found the right person in Mr. Sean Domnick. Sean had the right mix of compassion and conviction. This combination was what we needed and we knew he would advocate on our child's behalf. Our case was very complex and many firms were reluctant to take it on, but Mr. Domnick was able to simplify the process and focused on the specific events which lead up to the injury of our child. For example, when we were at the hospital, there were many events which occurred, but Mr. Domnick focused on specifics. "How did they miss that?" he asked. Sean also helped give us the strength to follow through and seek justice for our child. Our child went through numerous surgeries and rehab and will forever be physically disabled as a result of the event. As a family, we were emotionally drained. It would be much easier to move on with our lives and accepted the injustice because to seek justice means to relive and recount the horrible events again. However, Sean helped us see that while reliving the events was difficult, living with the injustice would be far worse. Sean made numerous trips to our home in Canada to personally meet our child and our family. This personal connection gave us assurance of his commitment to the case. Mr. Sean Domnick is an exceptional lawyer and an exceptional person who has earned our trust.

I ended up putting my estate plan on hold because I found out that my job could be relocated to another state. When I called Robert to tell him that, he could not have been nicer. I offered to pay him for all the time he took with me (about 90 minutes) but he refused to charge me. I couldn't believe it. Robert is a wonderful and caring attorney!

Mr. St. Jacques represented me as a defendant in a construction lien case against my home in Monroe County Florida. His knowledge of the complex Florida construction lien laws was instrumental in a decidedly successful outcome. Mr. St. Jacques proved to be a very trustworthy and dedicated professional who paid close attention to every aspect of the case with care and consideration. He traveled hours south for each deposition and court appearance personally, while kindly guiding me in understanding the arduous intricacies of the proceedings. The Florida Statutes regarding construction liens are complex, meticulous and confusing. Without Mr. St. Jacques impressive comprehension of these laws, I’m not sure the results would have been so favorable. Bottom line is when or if you find yourself involved in a similar mess, make sure you find representation that equally mirrors Mr. St. Jacques experience and knowledge – this guy REALLY knows what he’s doing.

I was spending a lot of time and effort sorting out a legal situation in which I was ultimately faced with a crappy settlement offer on top of which I would need to tie up some loose ends myself that I wouldn't have known how to do. I reached out to Greg and after meeting with him only one time, he promptly secured an even better settlement and took care of those loose ends for me.

Rosemarie is calm and collected, and does not get caught up in the emotions of the opposing party. She is pragmatic and sensible. Me wife's lawyer was out of touch with reality and too caught up in an unrealistic settlement. Rosemarie was able to help me work through what was realistic and what was poor negotiation tactics using false data by the opposing party. She worked with me and the forensic accountant to put me in a better position to be more realistic with the outcome of the divorce settlement. I am very happy with my outcome.

Mr. Hall is very knowledgeable and courteous and takes the time to explain your options. He also works very hard to go the extra mile while trying to obtain the best case scenario for his clients. He just seems to be a nice gentleman who will work with his clients especially during difficult times. I for one have found him to be understanding, respectful and gave me a sense of comfort that I was in good hands. It was a difficult time for myself and Mr. Hall made things just a little bit easier. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

We had a problem with our landlord regarding our deposit. Sasha was able to solve this matter without taking it to court. She was very honest and understanding. Great communication one on one (not like with other lawyers) and updates from our case were constant. We are very pleased with the results and recommned her a 100%.

Brian was able to help me quickly and efficiently resolve two issues with rental property that I own. He provided language for my vacation rental home to protect us from liability should a renter injure themselves. In addition, he managed a property line/fence dispute such that no further legal action was taken once he communicated with the person who complained.

Better than 5 stars. Mr. Buck's honesty easily puts him at the top of the lawyers I consulted with who either wanted their retainer without explaining what course of action they recommended and/or did not get a firm handle on my nuanced situation which a one size fits all action would not resolve. Mr. Buck asked a good number of questions that no other lawyer had before, recommending the best course of action....to do nothing at this time. If and when the time is right however, I will seek Mr. Buck's counsel again and most definitely hire him. It's about honesty and trust.
