Elana has been so amazing to work with. Being thrust into entrepreneurship due to a successful Kickstarter, she has helped alleviate the stress of moving forward and protecting my IP. She has been so warm, accessible and knowledgeable. She even attended my event to see what I do. Greenway Firm is now an essential part of my business. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for the incredible support and professionalism we received from EDGE LAW, PA. From the very beginning, they handled our case with the utmost care, diligence, and expertise. Their team, especially Shelley Moon, was always courteous, responsive, and made sure we understood every step of the process. They treated us like family and guided us through a challenging situation with skill and compassion. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we reached a successful resolution, and I couldn’t be more thankful. If you are looking for a legal team that is both highly professional and genuinely cares about your case, I wholeheartedly recommend EDGE LAW, PA. They are simply amazing.

I retained Mr. Jowanna's services in 2017 through 2020 to represent us in a lawsuit. He and his staff are so down to earth. He breaks it all down in terms in which the average individual understands. He seems so laid back but don't let that fool you he is a bulldog when he represents you. He doesn't talk to his clients in a condescending manner like so many other attorneys. He looks out for the financial aspect trying to save his clients from exorbitant attorney fees. He actually listens to what you are telling him and then he consults with you on his plan of strategy. And if you still have trouble understanding what he is trying to get a cross to you then he goes to the drawing board so that he can present it to you visually. He and his staff respond quickly to any and all request. You can tell that he has a passion for the law. I can't express enough how highly I think of him and his staff.

I contacted Matthew Jowanna about an issue in terms of establishing a trust for my daughter. It turned out that given that she does not live in FL although I do, it was not possible for him to be of assistance. Another attorney at his office worked with me on this. They are responsive and professional. I would unhesitatingly use them in the future based on my limited experience with them.

I live in Land O' Lakes and was looking for a lawyer that was both close and excellent. I didn't want to have to go to downtown Tampa or Orlando to find a big time lawyer. So, I Googled and Googled. Luckily, I found Mr. Jowanna's website. Most lawyers I saw on the Internet (even in the big fancy and expensive law firms) did not even come close to Mr. Jowanna's experience and qualifications. So, I made an appointment. I met personally with Mr. Jowanna and his Office Manager, Andrea. They took the time to listen to everything I had to say. They were very down to earth and casual, which made me less nervous and put me at ease. But, Mr. Jowanna immediately knew the answer to every question I had. And, they didn't charge me anything. Go talk to your doctor for half an hour and see if that's free! It was the best of both worlds. I hired a big league qualified lawyer that was courteous, friendly, very down to earth and professional. I would reccomend Mr. Jowanna's office to everyone. But, do your own homework. You won't find anyone in the area with credentinals that even come close. Everyone in the office was more like a law family instead of some stuffy and stiff law firm.

We had the privilege of working with Attorney Denise Welter, a truly exceptional family estate attorney who went above and beyond in every aspect of our experience. Faced with the urgent need to prepare my living will on very short notice, Attorney Welter stepped in with unparalleled professionalism and genuine care for our family’s well-being and prepared the documents on the same day as I contacted her law office. Most recently, the preparation of our family trust and my husband’s living will were executed with the highest level of expertise, and the final documents were completed both professionally and in a remarkably timely manner. From the moment we reached out, Attorney Welter demonstrated a remarkable commitment to not only addressing our immediate legal needs but also ensuring that every detail was handled with the utmost precision. Attorney Welter made a potentially stressful situation much more manageable, providing clarity and support every step of the way. If you need a family estate attorney who combines professionalism with genuine compassion, I can guarantee you will not find a more exceptional law firm that will provide a more heartfelt commitment to helping families!

Called him the first time because another situation wasn't being resolved by that legal counsel; he answered my questions, gave me direction. Called him the 2nd time because of landlord foreclosure issue (I'm the renter) and he answered those questions as well PLUS supported me in my distress. But today, well, today takes the cake. Suffice to say: Robbed by company of items, threatened when I asked where they were, threatened after the sheriff I called departed, harassed me as I walked back to the car. Mr. Harder told me exactly what to do while I was at that location, how to handle and document everything to further sue the idiots for many violations of civil and potentially criminal activity. At a time when I was utterly distraught, Mr. Harder had my back... and my best interests in mind. A+++

I emailed him on Saturday afternoon. He called me back during his off time because he thought the issue was interesting. He took time out of his day off (again, on Saturday) to discuss the situation. I emailed him a follow up question. ON HIS OWN ACCORD WITHOUT ASKING FOR A RETAINER: Mr. Harder went and looked up public records, reviewed detailed documents and provided not only a legal opinion, but offered two possible solutions to the problem... again, without asking to be retained. If my issue needs to be litigated... he's my guy!

I had a fantastic experience with The Law Offices of Matthew J. Jowanna, P.A. They handled my accident claim with incredible patience, even though I had to process everything from overseas. The team took the time to explain every step in detail and negotiated on my behalf when issues arose with different medical providers. Their professionalism and commitment to my case made a stressful situation so much easier. If I ever find myself in an accident again, I wouldn’t hesitate to go straight to them. Highly recommend!

If you like wasting your MONEY than you've come to the right lawyer. If that's what you eant to call him. This guy is one of the most ARROGANT people I have ever met. He is also incompetent. He brought no witnesses or evidence. Needless to say he lost our case. How he passed the bar examination is beyond me. Save your money. You would be better off representing yourself than have him do it.

I hired Mr. Pratico for nearly three thousand dollars. For my money I received nothing but words of what a great case I had. My case involved the Health Dept. and a pest control company. It was crucial to my case that someone from both of these places would come to court the day my case was heard. They were the witnesses I needed to back up my case. Because Mr. Pratico never had a subpoena served to the Health Dept. or pest control company any evidence involving either one was not allowed to be heard in court that day. Without those witnesses there to cross exam the judge would not allow any evidence we had in writing to back up our case. We essentially had no case! I realized my case lacked competent REPRESENTATION due to the inability of Mr. Pratico not getting witnesses to court that day for our defense. I feel we paid nearly three thousand dollars for absolutely nothing! Not to mention that we now have to pay two thousand dollars for the lawyers fee for the other party involved. My complaint sounds very similar to another complaint filed against Mr. Pratico to the Florida Bar. The day our case was to be heard in front of the judge, Mr. Pratico sent another attorney on his behalf to represent us. That attorney was clearly inexperienced in court proceedings. The judge on numerous occasions had to direct this attorney. Every time this attorney asked me questions when I was on the witness stand pertaining to evidence from the Health Dept, the judge told me I couldn't talk about it since there was no from the Health Dept. to cross exam. It was one fumble after another. I was on the witness stand not knowing what I could or couldn't say! I felt totally lost. Of course we lost the case! Mr. Pratico said he couldn't be there that day to represent me because he had another case to represent. I waited nearly three years for this case to go to court. Evidently this case must not have been important enough for him to make time to represent me. Think long and hard about which lawyer you choose. Do your homework before choosing. I wish I would of.

***CAUTION!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND*** North Tampa Law Group (Brian Arrighi) was hired to serve as the closing agent on the sale of my property in 2023. I recv'd an email from Mr. Arrighi on 04/23/2023 stating he completed my title search & there were TWO mortgages that needed cared for - he further emailed me a copy of the FHA partial claim mortgage document. I completed & returned the required form to Mr. Arrighi authorizing him to pull the payoff information for EACH mortgage loan from said providers. The final closing documents received however, apparently only included ONE mortgage (it failed to include the FHA partial claim mortgage) . I only learned this when I received a letter from HUD stating that I owed them approx $13K. If the amount was not paid in full w/in 90 days I would be charged 32% interest (total now over $18K). After spending months trying to sort out the issue with HUD, & the mortgage companies it was determined the error was w/Mr. Arrighi. I reached out multiple times requesting we discuss the matter to reach a resolution to this extraordinary error that shows a clear failure of due diligence in financial matters. Mr. Arrighi told me there was nothing he could do, he was busy & ended our call. I contacted another law group & confirmed this was a failure to verify required tasks per the role assigned North Tampa law. Additionally, I received an email from Mr. Arrighi that was intended for another client of his that contained the PCI DSS financial tranx information for THREE INDIVIDUALS/CLIENTS. This firm has a serious pattern of failure to exercise diligence in client financial matters. I've continued to attempt to resolve this matter with this office only to have Mr. Arrighi accuse me of hanging up on him (this never happened). This office takes zero ownership of their mistakes. This issue has destroyed my good credit score amongst other significant and unrecoverable events. It is inexcusable for a title company of legal profession to conduct business in this manner and place their clients in jeopardous situations. I would not recommend using them.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
