This review is for the Berlin Patten Ebling office in South Tampa, which our realtor recommended us to use for the closing on the sale of our home. We were very pleased with the services received, and their staff took care of a last minute snag that came up with the closing. The staff is very dependable and professional and would highly recommend them.

Mark is the best lawyer I've ever had. He and his law firm took care of all my needs. I never had to chase down one single paper. His attitude is very bussiness only, another thing I like as no one has time to waste. I've sent family members to him as well and I can't imagine using anyone else in the future but him.

This was my first experience with a lawyer and Aaron went above and beyond what I expected from any lawyer. I've heard horror stories as I'm sure we all have, but this one right here is a fairytale. I have anxiety meeting new people and Aaron adjusted to that quickly and trust was built, with his knowledge, his patience and his understanding not just with his people skills but with his extensive knowdlege of law and personal passion for justice. Aaron surpassed all expectations of mine he kept me well informed throughout the entire process and was available to speak if I had any concerns or questions about the case. Aaron is a professional and provides five star quality to his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. If anyone asks Aaron's the man to get the job done.

Jason did a phenomenal job with a fire insurance claim on my investment property. The insurance company refused to pay the full amount owed. We filed a lawsuit and they ended up paying before trial. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs top quality representation from an honest attorney. Thanks again Jason!

He makes you feel at ease and is always willing to explain things in "plain English"

Extremely satisfied with Paul's performance. He was able to get me over 5x as much as FDOT was offering me. Without him I would have lost everything. He has 29 years of experience in eminent domain and it shows. Wouldn't use anyone but him!

Brent provided me with a wealth of information relative to my charge (DUI) and the options that I had as we began the process together. He investigated the minutia of the arrest which assisted in final result of a reduced conviction. Along with the details of the arrest, he represented my character to the judge, including my previous and current accomplishments as a young professional and lack of criminal history. Brent's knowledge and effort lead to a reduced conviction, which I believe is the best possible outcome of my charge and situation.
Brent has always been available to answer my questions, day or night. To this day, he is available and able to provide helpful advice and information relative to my needs following the adjudication. Most recently, he is working on removing my name on a public database that supplies information relative to my charge.

I hired Beejal Thakore to handle an eviction case for me. I had to evict my tenant. Beejal was the best attorney for the case. Evictions are very costly and stressful. Beejal was not only professional and courteous, she made me feel so comfortable and relieved to know this was being handled swiftly and with the best results. I would highly recommend her to my family or friends with full knowledge of my experience, that they would be in good hands. She has a great understanding of the law, and I was misled on several issues before she took my case. I am
very grateful that I found her. She also drew up my new lease
agreement for my new tenant. I could not have resolved this
issue on my own and feel she went above and beyond. I also felt like I was her only client, the attention was so personal, when I know I was not.

Ms Hudock assisted me with the purchase/buy in of an automobile dealership in January of this year. The term and conditions were very
difficult. I found her to be knowledagable, and poised under pressure.
I was on a very tight timetable and her expertise was invaluable.

As one who personally finds it painful to speak well of any attorney I must make an exception and speak of my great satisfaction with John Rains. I first dealt with John about twenty years ago as a young businessman. Since that first meeting until today I have been more than satisfied with John's ability as an attorney and character as a person. He is exceptionally well prepared for any meeting or hearing, he exudes professionalism and competence, and reduces stress by simply being in the same room. John is not a "pit bull attorney", he uses his skill and knowledge of the law to achieve results, not a loud mouth and threats. John provides reason and perspective to a case and is not afraid to be brutally honest with his clients about the nature of civil procedure and that your money and peace of mind is more important than "going to war" with your adversary.
If you are looking for an attorney that you can respect and who sincerely places you before his desire to rack up a ton of billable hours, I know you will be happy with John Rains.

Marcus Fernandez is a top notch attorney. I hired him for an injury case. He went above and beyond my expectations. He would keep me posted on my case often, via phone calls, since my schedule didn't all time for a face to face. He was willing to incorporate my time into his schedule.
One thing I have to say is that he asked me one question. "What do you expect to get out of this suit financially" he said to take a week and honestly think about it. Well I did just that. Now I could have thrown out a number and that would have been it. But I took his advice and listed all the specific details. Every night I was up in pain all night. All the days I missed work, family finances that occurred from this incident. I wrote the list so specific that I came down to every penny that I felt was owed to me, and details as to why.
Mr. Fernandez called me and said that with all his experience he never had someone do that. Normally they would come up with a number and that was that. I said well you asked me to really think about it and be specific. Well that's what I did.
The next step was the deposition, in which he did explain to me how difficult they defense would be and he would correct. He prepped me for just that.
One thing I have to say is that at first I went with a "popular" law firm Morgan & Morgan, because of their popularity. And they dropped the ball on my case. I learned that it's not about the person with Morgan & Morgan. You're just a number there. But with Fernandez you're an individual who matters.
Bottom line we won the case and he did get the amount I wanted and felt was fare. He was amazing and I would recommend him 100%.

I would like to say that Harrell & Harrell, PA - Ms. Candace Knox, Attorney At Law, and all staff have been super professional. Attorney Knox has got to be the most personable young lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I am sure that she has been more than willing to be all that Mr. Harrell would expect. I would have to say that she cares very much for her clients. She made us feel our lives were a priority and an important part of her day. She made it clear that she was going to fight for my family. I have never had an attorney who would fight for their client. My husband and I thank Harrell & Harrell, PA for pushing it over the top! Word of mouth is a good way to gain trust and business, and Attorney Knox is an awesome blessing to the the firm. Our accident was very traumatic, but we thank God for finding Harrell & Harrell, PA. A lighthouse in the storm.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kemp Ruge & Green Law Group to settle an injury case. Stacy Gleason and Marc Crumpton worked diligently to reach the best possible verdict and kept me informed constantly as the case progressed. Their constant communication and ability to explain proceedings so that they were easy to understand made it a pleasure to work with them through a difficult time. I would highly recommend the Kemp Ruge & Green Law Group for future legal advise and representation. To Stacy and Marc, I truly appreciate all of your hard work!

My eighteen year old daughter went from being a healthy college athlete to suffering a massive stroke, paralysis, brain damage and multiple heart surgeries as a result of malpractice. She was hospitalized for over two months and had an extremely lengthy rehabilitation and recovery period. We hired Charles Moore in 2013 on the recommendation of a relative who is an attorney. I wasn't even aware of the firm he worked for at the time. To be perfectly honest, I probably would not have contacted that firm because I was of the opinion that large firms provide less personal service and I needed to look the person who would represent us in the eye to get an idea of the type of person they were. My daughter had been through enough already and I needed to know that the attorney representing her would be someone she could relate to and someone who would be patient and understanding with her. Mr. Moore made himself available to us for all questions large and small at any given time. There was never a time I called him when he didn't answer personally. I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never been in this kind of situation before. He was very easy to communicate with and explained each step of the process clearly and thoroughly. While preparing her case for trial he was persistent and thorough. Her case was a complicated one and it required expert medical opinions and the review of volumes of records as well as depositions from numerous people. Throughout it all we were kept up to date and well informed.
Mr. Moore is friendly and personable but nothing to be trifled with when it comes time for mediation or trial. Fortunately we were able to reach a settlement without going to trial. The opposing counsel told me afterwards that if it weren't for him we would not have fared as well at mediation and I sincerely believe that. The fact that he was not afraid to go to trial if we had to made a big difference. Although I didn't want to put my daughter through a trial, she will have ongoing medical needs for the rest of her life and has lost things that she will never get back. It was important to me that she not have to worry about how to pay for her future medical care and that she be at least somewhat compensated for her loss.
I pray that I will never need a malpractice attorney again in my life but if I do, Chad Moore will be who I call. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was truly a blessing to my family and we owe him so much. He is more than a competent attorney, he is a kind and genuine person who I am glad to have met.
