My wife and I were completely bamboozled by a salesman in a Marriot resort located in Orlando Florida. He used religion and family to completely convince us this purchase was not a timeshare. Oh how wrong we were. We purchased his sales package only to find out 1 month later that it was a con job. We contacted the this law firm out of desperation, and let me tell you this decision was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. Not only did they save us from a world of debt but they also did it in a fashion with effortless ease. They always maintained updates and kept us in the loop. They also gave us a sense of confidence in their results. If I can suggest anyone going through the same experience we had. Please do not hesitate to choose this law firm to represent you. They are absolutely fantastic!!!

I was threatened with a legal action by a previous employee. I contacted Ms. Donath and after our initial conversation, immediately retained her to defend my company. I was very impressed by her knowledge of labor laws and the difficulties of navigating the employee/employer litigation landscape.
Ms Donath immediately put me at ease and took over the management of the case. Her fees are reasonable. Not once did I feel I was paying for services that were not rendered.
Ms Donath is tough, professional and a no nonsense attorney. She was able to resolve our issue, remove the terrible emotional stress it brought about, and bring to conclusion our case.
I was so pleased with her expertise that I hired her to completely overhaul our employee manual.
I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I can't thank Sheree enough; she was incredible--smart, professional, efficient, results-oriented, caring, knowledgable, honest, and fair--throughout an extremely uncomfortable and challenging time while I was at work and afterwards. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Sheree and have her counsel me and have my back through such difficult times and work tirelessly in my best interests to ensure fair closure. If you find yourself in an unfortunate employment situation while still working or having just left work and need sound legal advice, I can't think of a better person to recommend than Sheree Donath who brilliantly navigates each situation as an advisor, a confidant, a sounding board, a negotiator, a mediator, a partner, and a true counselor.

I spoke to Ms. Donath to discuss a difficult employment situation, and to investigate what my legal options were. I was feeling defeated and scared, and was concerned about my professional future. I immediately felt comfortable with Ms. Donath, as she allowed me to fully explain my situation without making me feel rushed. She empathetically listened, asked specific questions, and provided me with several options. Ms. Donath specifically and explicitly described the “pros” and “cons” of each option.
After consulting with Ms. Donath, I felt empowered to make an informed decision about my employment situation. Ms. Donath was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. Ms. Donath allowed me understand my options and to make an informed decision, and provided exceptional great counsel. I highly recommend Ms. Donath as an attorney—she exceeded my expectations!

I had contacted Mr. Tehrani on a recommendation from a friend who is also an attorney. I must say that I am glad to have acted on this recommendation. Without going into details of somewhat unique and complicated matrimonial case, Mr. Tehrani not only proved his level of expertise, but also offered emotional and practical support which can be an invaluable benefit in such situations. I felt that he was there to guide and counsel; he truly took the time to help me reach decisions that will best address my concerns while helping me not get caught up in the emotional aspect of this process. I highly recommend this firm.

The first time I met Mr. Tehrani I was impressed with his knowledge and honesty. He even told me at first that "I dont want you to waste your money", what lawyer says that? He guided me through my divorce like a true attorney and protected my interest's all the way along. He has fought the best, and beat the best. I could not be more happy with the outcome of my divorce and I could not have found a better lawyer.

While everyone dragged my divorce through the mud, Yasha settled my case and helped both of us move on and rebuild our lives. He is great with communication, always kept us informed and was always available. Thank you!!

Josh Beldner helped me when my FMLA rights were not respected. He was very professional and told me what to expect at each stage of the case. He obviously put a great deal of work into my case on his own and remembered everything I told him, using the information at very appropriate times. He brought dignity to the case and made sure I was treated with respect. He was very clear and direct with me, so I felt prepared for each phase of the case. I learned to trust him at a vulnerable time because of the way he conducted himself. Josh brought skills of clarity, intelligence, and professionalism to a bad experience, helping me find the positive in the situation. I have a great deal of respect for both Eric Tilton, and Josh Beldner and the Tilton, Beldner firm and highly recommended their services.

While Matthew has been up significant help to my family through legal matters that are aligned with his specialties, he was also incredibly helpful as a counsel for my startup business needs. Matthew was readily available, responsible and helpful whenever I needed assistance. For any matters that he was not an expert, he always sought the expertise of others in his network. We had many discussions about intellectual property, incorporation, corporation structuring and contract law. Ultimately, Matthew led the process through counsel and drafting of the terms sheet for my angel investment for that startup. I would highly recommend Matthew to others. He is a great guy, and a great attorney.

Mr. Eilen recently mediated a FINRA affair between my Mother and a brokerage house. I found him to be extremely empathetic, compassionate and helpful in this matter, all the while treating my mother with the utmost of respect and care. This case would have been far different, in my opinion, without his capable wisdom and guidance. I wish to publicly thank him for all of his efforts which enabled our family to reach a rational and "fair" result. Thank you for your diligence Mr Eilen!
