Mowrey Law came highly recommended to me from someone within the law enforcement community and I can now see why. They are exceptional. I was fortunate enough to work with Rebecca and Leslie. Both are very professional and extremely knowledgeable in their field. From start to finish, I knew my case would be in great hands. Their honesty and directness was very much appreciated. I always felt like they had my best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Mr. Patel and his team clearly care about their clients and are highly effective at resolving their issues.

Doug was excellent and very knowledgeable about my issue and case law. He kept me informed and abreast of all relevant developments by him contacting me. Whenever I made a call, he actually picked up the phone. If he was not available for a call, he returned my call within 24 hrs. Communication is absolutely vital and I could not ask for a more knowledgeable and informed attorney in this matter.

Made a few calls on Saturday morning to several firms. Mind you, we already had an attorney which was just going to submit a motion to try and move date sooner. Mydock, answered the cell phone, I could hear a kids soccer game in the background. I had no contact with inmate. He must have gone to the holding facility that same day. Made contact informed us of a plan and by Monday morning he had executed a resolution. What more can I say 5 star Mydock.

My family and I can not say enough wonderful things about Brad and his office to truly capture just how awesome they were. Our backs were again the wall and just one call to Brad drastically changed the situation for our betterment. Immediately Brad and his office jumped into action and represented our minor Son in a criminal matter. Due to Brad’s leadership and thoughtful advice our adversaries were stopped dead in the tracks and the situation was dissolved. My wife and I truly believe 100% that without Brad our Son would have been steamrolled by the lying County Detectives. We now have Brad’s office in our contacts just in case any other BS should ever arise.
In closing, and on a lighter note, we now have to exclude Brad when telling derogatory lawyer jokes.

After hiring an incompetent lawyer, that took my money me, Bradley took the case and helped navigating through the legal system and help keep my son from going to prison for something that didn’t warrant that level of punishment. My only regret is not having Bradley in the very beginning. He made me feel relaxed and he kept me informed throughout the process.. My son felt a sense of relief having Bradley working with us.

Excellent attorney, and he got the job done. Very patient and compassionate individual, which helps to put you at ease during your elevated stress levels. Things can happen, and many times it’s not ideal, but having someone to guide you in a calm manner, certainly helps you in getting through the ordeal.

In 2006, I went to meet with Carol Caldwell. I was not in a happy situation and concerned about my future. A friend recommended I write a few notes about my situation. My notes turned out to be five pages typed single-spaced. When I met with Carol, I told her I had notes. She read the five pages. She looked at me and asked if I had any idea how much danger I was in. That was when the walls of shame and secrecy came crashing down.
My husband was severely abusive, but I was too ashamed to admit it. Carol lay down her requirements: I needed to get in contact with Betty Griffin House for a place to stay and counseling before she'd begin the process. Once that happened, she moved fast. I had an injunction in two weeks and the divorce was final in six weeks.
To say she changed my life is an understatement. She saved my life. She did not accept a case for the sake of work. She focused on my safety and well-being. Every step of the way, there were moments where the counseling at Betty Griffin helped me. I do not believe I would be where I am now if I had chosen any other lawyer. She is undoubtedly, the best there is.

I highly recommend Carol Caldwell as an attorney. I hired her to represent me in a highly contested divorce case involving children. She always had my children's best interest at heart and fought hard for them and me. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. She is always so well prepared and meticulous in every detail, resourceful, creative and knows the Florida law. Anything the opposing counsel threw at us never caused Miss Caldwell to stumble. She was available to answer my questions and concerns at all times. Her response to every, email, text or phone message was prompt. From my first meeting with her to the final hearing she was professional but extremely easy to talk to. Miss Caldwell always took the time to make sure I understood the proceedings and that I was prepared for court hearings. Miss Caldwell's office staff are also amazing. They went above and beyond to help me and my children many times. They always encouraged me, kept me informed, and very helpful with paper work. The whole team worked well together on my case.

Have Been battling addiction for years and back in August 2023 I received my third DUI, and was facing 18 months in prison. I followed what Mr. Hines insisted. Went into rehab, started therapy and intensive outpatient and now have over four months clean and no prison or jail time. He also helped me find my amazing AA young peoples home group. Michael Hines truly cares about his clients and is the BEST lawyer truly. If it wasn’t for him I would be in prison and not with my daughter, and I wouldn’t have four months of sobriety. If you are looking for a defense attorney, I would highly recommend 10 out of 10.

My divorce was in the middle of trial. The opposing counsel was very aggressive and I desperately needed a more zealous and aggressive representation of my case. I contacted Michael Hines over the weekend and he replied immediately and readily agreed to take on my complex case. My case had been dragging for almost a year and Michael was able to wrap things up within 10 days of working on my case, without continuation of the trial! The opposing counsel even started co-operating once Michael took over the case!
Michael is a true professional who is very well versed with the laws. He is very prompt in his actions and fights aggressively for his clients. He is a very experienced and successful trial attorney. In fact, he loves trials! His office staff is friendly, professional and well-organized as well. I highly recommend Michael Hines for all divorce and child custody matters. Thank you Michael! God Bless!

Angelique represented me in a rather stressful and strident divorce. She is a straight shooter, knowledgeable, guiding and aggressive in ways that are difficult to explain and a delight to experience.
And while she's doing it, she always had my best interests at the core of everything she did. As I move forward with other things in my path, Angelique will be my primary personal lawyer. Looking forward to working with her again.

When I first contacted Mr. Taylor, I was about 8 1/2 years into a legal battle with my former wife. The divorce was final in 2013 but my former wife continued to push for more with court appearances and appeals. At my consultation, Mr. Taylor was already as well prepared as I could have hoped for. I honestly felt more peace about things than I had in years. When we first started talking, I felt he was wanting to get to know me which I believed was very important to him. When we started talking about the case, he shared his thoughts about the history as he saw it, explained what his approach was going to be and asked me if I was OK with how he wanted to proceed. I appreciated how much time he obviously spent preparing for my consultation and how he wanted to be sure I was comfortable, and confident, in how he wanted to handle the case. The whole time, I never felt I was talking to an attorney and that it was business only. It was like I knew him for years. I left that consultation knowing I was with the right attorney. Within a year, it was over. The only reason it took that long was the time the court took but I was confident it would end once he submitted our response. Mr. Taylor is a great, knowledgeable attorney, that cares about one thing, and that is his clients. Very personable man that made me feel at ease, always communicating everything in ways I could understand and always asking my input. Everything about my experience was awesome, I can never say thanks enough for what this firm did for me. I can't leave out Jess Hardy. She's a great part of this law firm.

Mr. Harris was always very informative, quick to respond, and caring. English is not my first language, but he made all the legal jargon easy to understand and really walked me step by step through the entire legal process. Regardless of what time of day it was, Joshua would respond and really made it a point to take his time to make sure I was understanding what is going on. He was my divorce lawyer and while that process was extremely difficult and at first overwhelming, he really made sure that I was aware of all my options and was really caring. I cannot say enough good things about him.

Highly recommended. Prior to reaching out to Douglas Law Firm I had little to no knowledge outside of a brief glance at internet reviews and their own bio outlines and practice summary listed on their website of how any of their staff behaved or of their legal track record. After a friendly conversation with office staff which responded promptly to my request for a consultation, I received a phone call directly from Attorney Mr. Jacob McCrea. He was happy to hear out my point of view and my entire story of the legal situation I was in, he then answered any questions I had about information he provided me and quickly expressed clear confidence and realistic expectations for my case. All in all, after my case has concluded I cannot express enough in this review my appreciation to Mr. McCrea, his legal assistant, and all of the staff at Douglas Law Firm that I interacted with for their patience, friendliness, professionalism, honesty, prompt responses to my communications, and finally their abilities as a law firm. I am happy to have met and worked with Mr. McCrea and will look to his office and staff if I ever again need any legal advice or assistance.

I would like to start off by saying that Jacob and his team was there for my son from the beginning to the end! Jacob is professional, astute in his practice of law. We named him the Bull! Why? Because if you want someone in your court to fight, he is the guy! He doesn't play around. My son had a very difficult case, and they were able to get the charge dropped with some stipulations. It was hard work on both sides, but at the end of the day, I knew I was in good hands. Trust and do what they say! Best of luck for much success! Hope we never run paths again but only in the grocery store :)

I feel she is more of a teammate, and I will benefit from her guidance as I move down my path. I would (and do) recommend Kim for RE Syndication's, TIC's, DST's etc.

I was hit hard by a truck on the bridge of Lions. After ending up with injuries and damage to my car I decided I would try to be a good sport with the other parties insurance company as at the end of the day it was an accident. They were not Returning the courtesy and actually told me to “get an attorney if I didn’t like it” also rude and unhelpful. After calling multiple attorneys I decided to go with Tom. he was straightforward, Honest, direct and helped me Immensely with the case. He got me everything he promised, helped me with aftercare for my injuries and even helped get compensation for the depreciation of my vehicle. I now see him as a friend and I appreciate all he did for me during this time. I would highly recommend Tom Copeland, we will be the only attorney I will be using in the future.

I don't know where to begin as words aren't enough to express my gratitude or the honor of being represented by Jessica Deaton. She is so much more than a knowledgeable, fierce criminal defense attorney. She is first and foremost a compassionate human being who believes in what she does and the lives of the individuals she represents. She walked my son and I through one of the most scariest times in our lives both during and after the case. She communicated, visited, and fought until all charges were dropped. Even after my sons release, she communicated what to expect, provided valuable advice both professionally and personally.
She is truly the Angel God sent to advocate and fight on my sons behalf. If you are facing criminal charges, Jessica Deaton is who you need. We are forever grateful and cannot express that enough.
