Dan Dannheisser was the consummate professional throughout our lawsuit! He was ahead of the game from start to finish. He hired the top of the top professionals to investigate our lawsuit using drone photographers and best of the best to find out all the information about the codes violations of those involved with mu husband's injury.
First, he interviewed us. He listened intently to our issues and he took action! Dan Dannheisser is the best lawyer you could ever have in an injury lawsuit! We wish we could give him 10 stars!!! We have never had an injury lawsuit, before!
We will be forever grateful we found Dan to represent us in a very contentious lawsuit!!! He is the best of the best, in our opinion! Dan will never let you down! We are forever grateful for his counsel!!! He is the wonderful!!

I hired Dan during the most difficult time in my life. Not only did he provide excellent legal advice, he also guided me through drama that ensued and reminded me to "rise above" the nonsense. His common sense, decency, and extensive knowledge about the law combine to make him the perfect attorney. Had it not been for him, I may have sunk to the level of those seeking to harm me which would caused me ongoing pain. Dan is an upstanding, outstanding person who I will always hold on my highest pedestal.

Following my accident/traumatic injuries, we met with Stephen Fernandez to discuss our options. We were impressed with his soft-spoken, calm demeanor which immediately made us feel very comfortable with him and his staff. From the start, he was open and honest and helped us to establish realistic expectations regarding the type of settlement we could expect and we so appreciated this approach. His care and concern for my well-being was genuine and he and his staff kept us informed every step of the way. I must say that he exceeded our expectations on every level. He is a consummate professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing the services of a great personal injury attorney.

I recently went through my first divorce. I was very upset and lost. I could not find a lawyer available or one that would even answer the phone. After a full day of calls, at about 7:15pm I was so afraid and lost. Then Monica answered her phone and gave me some guidance. Monica set an appointment with me the next day. I almost got a little bit of sleep that night. I hired Monica to represent me. This divorce was one of the most difficult things I have been through in my life. Monica was knowledgeable on the laws and offered the right path for my case to take. Being all alone through this, Monica was kind and considerate towards me and how I felt. I do recommend Monica and her services. Her personal touch made all the difference to me.

Mr. Hogreve was a pleasure to work with on the closing of my condominium. He and his Paralegal Kathy were instrumental in making sure we closed on our closing date due to their commitment in communicating effectively with my lender. The closing was flawless and extremely expedient. This was my first home buying experience and I'm so thankful they were there to walk me through everything making a stressful situation not stressful at all. I will recommend his firm to anyone who is looking for closing services, estate planning and incorporation.

Nico is smart, resourceful, diligent, hardworking, and reasonably priced for the work he puts in. He is a straight shooter, and handled my rather difficult situation with understanding and attention. He always kept me on the same page, as to my rights and the law, when I was dealing with manipulations from the opposing party. It was a complicated and confusing case: and he took everything in stride and always had a solid strategy. Extremely professional, I would definitely recommend Nico to anyone seeking an attorney for family law, I was more then satisfied with my experience.

David helped my husband and I purchase an out of state home in Sarasota, Florida. It was a complicated deal and he navigated many obstacles, keeping us informed every step of the way. David is also a CPA and a real estate agent so he was able to handle every single problem on our behalf and was always totally on target with solutions that were realistic and correct. We've worked with lawyers in many states and David's open style, great sense of humor and amazing intellect makes him, in our opinion, one of the best attorneys in the US.

I have worked in Real Estate for over 20 years and have worn many hats from engineer,developer,builder to real estate advisor. I have sat on both sides of the settlement table and worked with numerous attorneys. I have always found Mr. Rosenberg and his staff to be outstanding in every way. David and his staff are extremely knowledgable. The quality of service is always outstanding. Recently, I have closed many CREO properties with Banks and the feedback from the Banks is always excellent to the point one Regional Bank always requests David to handle their closings. Personnally, David handled an aviation settlement for me and the process was timely and efficient. I would highly recommend David and his excellent staff.

As most of us do I procrastinated my situation right until the last minute. When I finally made my mind up that I was going to stand up for myself against the banking giant Bank of America I reached out to Jason. After learning my situation had some time constraints he scheduled a meeting right away. I knew from the beginning that Jason was the right man for the job.... We ended up defeating the big bank and decreasing my repayment obligations significantly.

Anne Toale represented my son in a case filed under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), resulting from a Vaccine injury. She was extremely knowledgeable on the intricacies associated with the VICP program, in navigating through the entire government process, and in the requirements for achieving an equitable settlement. Anne provided sound advice throughout, and was especially insightful / helpful during the mediation process utilized to settle this case. Anne is a consummate professional who takes a proprietary interest in her work. She possesses excellent communication skills and strong goal orientation. She places her clients first. Anne and her firm are highly recommended.

Anne Toale is one of a handful of lawyers who work on National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program cases. My previous lawyer told me "I had a snowball's chance in Hell" of winning my case. Anne took my case & won it! I am a R.N. who developed an autoimmune disease after taking the Hepatitis B vaccine.
She walked me through every step of the process - from pretrial motions and prep, to the actual trial, and the long evaluation process to determine compensation. She was always available (mostly thru emails) to answer my endless questions about this process!
Having an experienced lawyer like her made all the difference! I believe she won my case for me and thru her diligence I received a great compensation package. I would highly recommend her!

Anne Toale represented me in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, working tirelessly to assure that I received fair and reasonable compensation for the devastating illness and injury I incurred as a result of a routine vaccination. Anne was patient and helpful in working with me to gather required documents and then representing me accordingly. Most importantly she is kind, to-the-point, and an expert in handling vaccine litigation cases. Not only did she promptly return all calls and e-mails, her staff was also very efficient, caring and responsive. Without Anne's guidance and outstanding skills, I would not have been able to navigate the Compensation Fund's requirements. I have the highest regard for Anne Toale, her law firm and staff, thus highly recommend her.

I was in an awful mess with so much stress and then I was recommended to Heather. I knew the second we met that she was just the right attorney to handle my case. As a lawyer myself, I instantly saw the qualities in her that I desperately needed. I was not disappointed. Heather was there for me every time I needed her and kept me on track and focussed. No problem was too difficult for her and I had a very acrimonious divorce. I felt in very safe hands throughout the entire process and this gave me great comfort. Heather is without doubt an accomplished professional. In a very difficult situation she managed to get me the settlement I wanted, that I considered to be fair. Her guidance and actions were invaluable. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Let's face it... a large percentage of the time going to a lawyer usually isn't fun. I was fortunate to to have Robles Law to counsel me and prepare all the necessary documents for my small estate to insure that everything necessary and legal would be done. I enjoyed participating in the preparation using modern technology which saved time and cost. In our appointment to complete the paper work I experienced a pleasant and professional staff who made me feel quite comfortable. I will certainly return to them should I need legal services.

Drew Clayton represented me and my wife at an arbitration hearing in which we were claiming improper handling of our investments by brokers Raymond James. He readily grasped our problem, prepared most meticulously and carefully explained our fee options, ie either contingency or hourly billing.
The hearing ran for several days at a hotel in which all concerned stayed. It seemed to us that Drew and his assistant worked continously on our behalf, laboring on the case until late each evening. His performance throughout was most professional and compared very favorably with that of our opponents' lawyers. We prevailed in the matter and were awarded a decent amount of recompense.
Were I to have a similar problem Drew would definitely be my first choice and I recommend him most heartily

Lisa Kalo has restored my faith in attorneys!! We used her to litigate/mediate a workers comp case and she more than exceeded our expectations in terms of competence, professionalism, responsiveness to our concerns and questions, and finally, the mediation with the employer. We agreed to a settlemwent that in no way lined our pockets, nor hers. But she treated us with the respect of a multi-million dollar case. She's down to earth, shots from the hip, has a great sense of humor and an honest and human personality!! If you need a workers comp or wrongful death attorney, call Lisa Kalo. Her staff immediately treat you like family and her office gives a safe and "homey" feel.

While I had hired a supposedly highly experienced business broker, I felt there was a need for an attorney review. Turns out that it became a lot of work for Mr McDonagh to keep up with all the work my broker didn't do or did wrong. Mr McDonagh is thorough, professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable.

Our company was blessed to come across Joe Herbert a few months ago. We were new to the legal system and were scared out of our minds with a large civil case. We had met with other attorneys and hired one other that we found not to be a great fit. From our first meeting with Joe we knew he was different from the others. He truly cared about what was going on, presented us with all our options, and then advised us on the best course of action. He spent the time answering all our calls and emails even while out of town. Joe had everything under control the entire time, including our fears. Joe is a rare breed these days. I highly recommend Joe Herbert! Thank you for all your help!

Doing the time Joseph Herbert has worked on my case, he has been approachable and open to consider my thoughts on the case. What Separates him is I could bounce my thoughts off of him without negative feedback. He shared why he felt it was a good approach or why it may not be the best approach.
His knowledge of the law as well as client communication is excellent. He works hard and believed in my case. So I would recommend him to anyone seeking a highly qualified attorney!

I had just about given up when a friend asked me to give ICard Merrill a call and that is how I met Joe Herbert. He listened patiently and was very honest and upfront but also hopeful. I had spoken to between 10 and 15 lawyers about the problem. They would not even see me about my problem!
My condo was destroyed by a horrible water leak from the unit above me. The unit was owned and rented by the Condo Association. I had complained about the leak but was told that it was from condensation from the shower my son had just taken and that I needed a new ceiling fan. Needless to say, my unit developed a horrible mold problem along with damage to the walls, carpet etc. The Condo Association refused to help me and instead handed me a water bill for over $3200.00 and told me it was because I had a running toilet.
I had contacted the Business organization who takes care of these problems in Florida but they only fined the Association.
Joe Herbert wrote a letter, the most detailed, powerful, to the point letter I have ever read. The result was....not only did I get paid several thousand dollars in damages, but I did not have to pay the $3,200.00 water bill!!!
Joe Herbert advised me on every step to take in order to ensure the absolute best outcome. I was so fortunate to have met such a kind, intelligent and honorable person. Thank you

After being wronged by my employer, a good friend thought I might have a case & put me in touch with Kevin Sanderson. I never dreamed I would have cause to pursue this case, but Kevin took it on. Throughout the entire process, Kevin kept me informed & worked for my best interest. It took over 2 years, but Kevin persevered. He used his expert negotiating skills, went above & beyond & procured a nice settlement for me. Without Kevin, I never would have gotten any compensation from my former employer. I can't thank Kevin enough for such a wonderful outcome & standing up for the little guy against a big corporation.

As a Paralegal for 25 years, when I was injured this year as a victim of a rear-end collision, I knew exactly what type of attorney I wanted to handle my case. I know that it takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good and effective attorney. I wanted a firm that was big enough to have any necessary resources to handle the case, while still being small enough to be both personable, professional and easy to communicate with. I was looking for an attorney who would approach my case with fresh eyes and motivation and above all, integrity. I wanted a firm that would not only fight for me, but never forget that I am a human being and not just a file on their desk. I found Hale Law, and was not one bit disappointed. As a matter of fact, they exceeded my expectations beyond description! Not only did they obtain a recovery for me under circumstances that seemed it was impossible, they did so in an incredibly quick and efficient manner. Patrick Iyampillai and Patrick Hale, along with every one of his incredible support staff, did an absolutely amazing job in what turned out to be a rather difficult and somewhat contentious case. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM for any of the practice areas they handle. If you are looking to win your case, look no further.

Patrick Hale reduced my DUI charge to reckless driving out of pure determination. He contacted the DA countless times and communicated with the prosecutor to make this happen. I applaud him and recommend him in any case you might have. A+ lawyer!

We hired John for our purchase of our first home and we are so glad we did. He caught certain items in the contract that weren’t up to par which saved us quite a bit of money. He spoke in language my wife and I could understand and he was there for us with ay questions we had. We are so grateful that he was there for us and for making the purchase of our first home a seamless transaction. Thank you John for all you do!

John Wickman handled two real estate closings for my wife and me in the past several months. One was a sale, the other was a purchase. I could not be more pleased with his work. He and his team are professional and thorough, and ensure that all steps needing to be completed are done so in a timely manner. John also knows how to address the "blips" that often arise in these situations and make them disappear. I will have John handle future real estate matters for me, and highly recommend him to anyone involved in any real estate transaction!

I hired John to do the closing for my new home, the amount of information that John provided me helped me and my wife to have confidence in the property we were purchasing. John dedicated plenty of time for me and my wife to ask lots of questions and his knowledge made us feel really comfortable. Great sense of humor, very friendly. a pleasure to deal with. His staff is also top notch and available to answer my every need. The best is too little to describe him.
