Mr. Russo represented me in a contract dispute. The seller of a car failed to complete the transaction by providing appropriate documentation so that I could register the vehicle in my home state. Mr. Russo was able to resolve this in less than three weeks to my full satisfaction. He kept me fully informed along the way and did everything he said he would do. He gets results!

After a horrible experience with a contractor, Mr. Russo advised me how I needed to proceed. Although my contract restricted me from going to court, Mr Russo still helped me get through the ordeal. His knowledge of the contract was very helpful in telling me what I could negotiate and what I should expect. After eight months, I am satisfied with the resolution and I appreciate all of Mr. Russo's advice.

Scott represented my wife and me regarding personal injury claims related to an automobile accident. He is clearly knowledgable and capable of aggressively pursuing all aspects of a negligence claim. He and his staff kept us informed of status and strategy as the matter was pursued until we reached satisfactory settlements. I highly recommend Scott and his firm, Murray Guari, to handle any negligence claim.

Jason Guari and his team as well as his partner Scott Perry went above and beyond to assist me. The level of professionalism and sincere care for me as a client, checking on me through every medical difficulty far exceeded any expectation I could have ever had. Jason was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful I chose him as my representation. Jason fought for me through ever turn of my case!

Josh told us what he would do for us and he did it. We were a little nervous about paying out up front but Josh delivered! He is passionate about his work, that's for sure. We are very pleased with the outcome of our case that was involving consumer fraud law. Also, another thing we love about Josh is he always has a kind, polite, professional demeanor to his clients. He is patient and explains things and answered all of our questions and concerns. He always got back to us promptly.

I couldn't have been more blessed to have Summer Barnes represent me in my DUI case. I knew I was innocent and it was important to me that my attorney believe me before even viewing evidence. Summer believed me. Once she watched the footage she was ready for war. We rejected all plea deals and went to trial. We both believed in my innocence. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than watching the ..."cop" that arrested you crumble before your very eyes, at the hands of your absolute BEAST of an attorney. It was as good as watching your team win the Super Bowl. Honestly, it was hard not to cheer her on haha. Sure enough, after less than 45 minutes of deliberation, the jury found me NOT GUILTY. A moment that lives in my mind rent free. All thanks to the will and determination of Ms. Barnes. She's a hero of innocence. If she ever runs for public office, I'll be on the corner with a sign sweating and continuing to cheer her on. LONG LIVE SUMMER BARNES!

I think Summer goes above and beyond for her clients and she treats everyone with kindness and respect, which is so lacking in the criminal justice system. She not only makes the client feel cared for and heard, but their entire family as well!

I had a problem with a dentist office that took 22k from me then sold their practice leaving me with unfinished work. And the work that was performed was less then average at best. Mrs. Barbosa took time out of her day to explain the process. Unfortunately the statue of limitations ran out. But she did a lot of research and was patient and understanding to my misfortune. She also advised me to report the dr to the proper authorities so they may have some reprimand. Nevertheless I would hire this young lady if I ever find myself in need of an attorney.

Jene was faced with defending me in a complicated family law/real estate/foreclosure case. Her advise was always spot on and she received a successful outcome for me. I can honestly say that she truly cares. She is quick to respond to messages and I never once felt "rushed". She takes her time and listens. She was even in contact with me while she was on vacation! Unheard of!!! I highly recommend her firm.

Brooks has handled numerous cases for me over the years. There is one that is still going after 3.5 years. This is a complicated commercial litigation case against a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. Brooks has been always one step ahead of the LARGE LAW firm for the hedge fund. I do not believe the number one rated law firm in Florida could have handled my case better then Brooks Ricca has done for me.

Brooks was always very business-like, very clear on procedure, very easy to talk to and willing to listen to what I had to say. He maintained good contact and I was always aware of exactly where things stood. In the courtroom he was excellent, firm but never combative. Excellent at keeping lines of communication open.

I hired Brooks Ricca after interviewing several other firms and am I glad I did. He is a straight talking, hard working, intelligent attorney who is also truly concerned about his clients. Due to the real estate collapse of 2008 I was facing a very complex and insurmountable legal battle. Brooks tirelessly explored every possible resolution strategy, put up many very good defenses and ultimately personally oversaw the proceedings by another firm in Federal Court. He stayed with the case and with me until the very end, he even sat in on a mediation to resolve legal fees with another firm that was also representing me at that time. He is very easy to communicate with, he listens to and considers his clients suggestions, explains the complexities of the system and the probable outcomes of proceedings. He is everything you would want in an attorney. Brooks was very actively involved in what ultimately was the legal battle of my life, saving me and all that I had worked for my whole life. I simply can't say enough...

First legal relationship I ever had in 1986 with a new real estate investment and incorporating my company: since I have retained Counselor Bennett for estate planning with my parents, in-laws and my Personal family wills. He was at my wedding and my parents funerals: a family friend for 36 years!

It seems that I have known David forever. I have retained him over a number of years from time to time and been very happy with the results that he was able to obtain for me. My first experience with him as an attorney many years ago was when my father retained him to pursue a fire damage claim to our family’s seashore summer house in New Jersey. In the offseason, workmen were renovating the interior of the house and, specifically, installing a new kitchen. After they had left for the weekend, a fire started in the house in the middle of the night and there was significant fire damage. David had the moxie to retain the retired Fire Marshall for the City of Philadelphia as an expert witness who confirmed David’s suspicion as to the cause and origin of the fire. Before they had left for the weekend, the workmen had decided to have a party in the living room to celebrate the end of the work week. Along with the empty beer cans, one of the workers inadvertently dropped a lit cigarette inside the living room couch to smolder for several hours resulting in the fire. In proving the origin and burn pattern of the fire, David was able to secure a sizable and unexpected settlement from the insurance carrier for the renovation company.
The latest matter that David handled for me was the administration of the estate of my late mother who owned personal and real property in the States of New Jersey and Florida. His administration of the estate in those separate jurisdictions was seamless. His particular knowledge of New Jersey income tax procedure saved me tens of thousands of dollars that my accountant was prepared to have me hand over to the tax authorities in that State. Even when the Florida estate administration became complicated by the homeowners association action to foreclose on the Florida house for alleged non-payment of HOA fees, David was able to have that matter resolved and dismissed.
He is quite a talent and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I am a CPA in the suburban Philadelphia are, and have known David personally for over 50 years and professionally for more than 30 years. If I have a particularly complex estate or trust matter which may or has included fiduciary litigation, income, gift or estate taxation, and has litigation between beneficiaries, creditors or as against the Internal Revenue Service, I have David on my speed dial. Ultimately, these matters are referred to him, and our office has retained him on any number of related files.
Not only a good friend by his deeds, I once had to explain to my father that the reason we were good friends was that he was and is fearless, no matter the adversary in and out of business. So it was no surprise to me when he took on the fifth largest law firm at the time in Philadelphia and beat them representing a contestant in a will contest over a several million dollar estate even though his adversaries had the advantage financially and with a far more extensive staff at their disposal.
I would enthusiastically recommend him to any potential client.

I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Kathryn Freiburger is top notch, and I have all of the respect and trust in her work as an attorney. I had an incredibly slim chance of staying in the military (5-10 percent per my commander). I had nothing to lose, and did not expect a lot when I retained Kathryn to be my attorney. As a result of the legal work put into my case by Kathryn, all adverse actions against me were dropped. Thanks to the legal work put in by Kathryn, I have been granted the privilege of continuing my service, and my circumstances have been restored to what they were prior to my alleged incident. I cannot express how grateful I am of Kathryn, and her dedication to the success of my military career!

We were helping our motherwith getting an unwanted person out of her home. We called several lawyers and none would even give us the time of day. Finally we talked to Ms. Osta. She could tell we were at our end as to what to do and how to do it. She made us feel good about where we were and that we could finish this and win. She was on top of our case and fighting for our mothers rights. We are grateful for all she did for us. She is a wonderful lawyer and knows her job well. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

We highly recommend Tiesha Dyer, Esquire. We hired her to represent us in a old alimony case. Her price was reasonable, her staff was very professional and she was very knowledgeable on our type of case. She went above and beyond to try to resolve our case. Tiesha Dyer, Esquire recommended that we would be better served hiring an attorney in the county the case was being seeing. Especially since both parties would not agree to a settlement which the case will likely proceed to some level of litigation. Tiesha Dyer, Esquire did not try to take advantage of us. She saw that this case could possibly end up with large attorney fees so she recommended us to one of the best attorney in other county. We are very thankful and grateful for her honesty and her legal advice. We wish the best for you and your practice. Mr/Mrs Hill

It’s not often you find a “divorce” attorney they is ethical, honest, and at the same time willing to do what needs to be done in the best interest of his/her client. That is exactly what you get when you retain Chris. From our first meeting, Chris laid out the facts of my not so simple divorce. Rather than try to take advantage of me as most attorneys would, Chris advised me to spend a little more (alimony) versus spending upwards of $5-10k to fight what may or may not have saved me the same amount. He could have taken my money and told me I had a decent chance of winning, but he chose to be honest and ethical. My divorce is just about 18 months in the rear view and things come up from time to time that I need Chris’s counsel. I’ve always been able to get a hold of him, and I’ve always received prompt and honest responses. While divorce should be your last resort (something Chris belives strongly), if you are in thay unfortunate situation do yourself a favor and have Chris represent you.

I got a recommendation from a friend to check out Chris Bruce to use as my divorce attorney. From our first meeting, I genuinely connected with Chris and knew that I would be using him when I was prepared for my divorce. He was down to earth, honest and simply a nice person. But I also felt that he could stand up to the challenges and complications of a divorce. A month later, when I was ready, he explained the cost and what complications could arise. He was always coming up with ideas that would help me capture the best financial outcome for myself. There were many ups and downs that are typical in a divorce, but I can say without hesitation that I would hire him again! He is professional, intelligent, and a genuinely nice person. Even my ex thought that he was a nice guy! Interestingly enough, I was told to interview at least 3 attorneys, but after I interviewed Chris, I knew that I would hire him, so the process of finding the right attorney became very easy!

I hired Michelle Azar after my previous attorney was not getting my case where I needed it to be. I was about to lose my house and was in the fight of my life trying to reach a settlement with the lender. There was a lot of issues on the table with the bank falling short on quite a bit of its obligations. At that time I need an attorney who is competent on the issues I was having and someone who could formulate a plan and execute it in a timely manner as time was of the essence.
Michelle Azar took the time to understand my issues, she advised me as it relates to the law and she also guided me to her plan of action.

When I got into some pretty serious legal issues, I was referred by a friend to consult with Kelly Landers.
I was terrified as I had never been in trouble in my life and suddenly needed representation. Kelly, was kind and compassionate to me and made me feel like if I hired him, he would do his very best to get the best outcome possible. He worked very hard for months on my case and he did have an amazing outcome for my case. I am forever grateful to Kelly and his staff for their hard work and dedication to my case and explaining Everything, every step of the way..

I was very young when I was first arrested for a crime that I had nothing to do with or was ever involved in. I just graduated high school and then a week later was arrested and given almost 5 life sentences in charges. I was locked up and when Kelly first met me he told me he held out his hand and I shook it and he said " Shake it like you mean it" LOL. He then told me that although he was appointed to me he would treat me just the same as though I was a high paying client and he did. He came to see me every Friday and when he couldn't make it he sent his investigator to see me and to keep me informed. Kelly worked hard on my case and did everything possible to secure my freedom. A year and some months later, I was set free. It was the happiest moment of my life. I owe everything to Mr. Kelly. Without him I would not be here today. If you are looking for a lawyer that cares and works hard and has integrity then Mr. Kelly is the lawyer everyone should be hiring.

After my father passed away unexpectedly in 2019, I immediately began the work of acting as his personal representative. Unfortunately, my father had no legal Will which led to a contested estate. The estate attorney I hired initially was not interested in handling litigation filed by another heir, and recommended David Garten for the job. Calling David Garten was the best decision I could have made.
David Garten is an expert in Florida State Estate Law. He is a litigation attorney who handles contested estates and defends his clients with zeal. He exudes the calm confidence and total professionalism of an expert in his field. There are none of the blustering or hyperbolic statements that you will find with unqualified attorneys who are just trying to get your business. David will never leave you with a false sense of confidence on any issue. David’s credentials are impeccable, and he is a regular contributor to Florida State Bar Association publications. David’s staff is top notch and well organized, a sure sign of an excellent attorney. I also found David and his staff to be approachable and easy going, not stuffy or hard to communicate with as some attorney’s offices can be.
David’s work on my father’s estate was exemplary. He successfully negotiated settlements and diffused or won the unnecessary litigation brought against the estate. At one point David parlayed a pre-trial deposition into a settlement that enabled me to continue my work to close the estate without interruption. This is one of many examples of David’s expert handling of my father’s estate. David is very cost conscious and employs other Estate Attorneys to handle the more routine aspects of estate administration. You can rest assured that you won’t be gouged. David’s calm approach to angry opposing counsel, random unnecessary litigation, and wary nerve-wracked clients, was incredibly reassuring as we worked through various issues.
I would highly recommend David Garten to represent you if you are the executor or personal representative of a contested estate. In fact, I would say that if relatives are likely to litigate after the loss of a loved one, skip the standard Estate Attorneys and call David Garten for the representation that you really need.

I was living out-of-state when notified of my estranged husband's death. I needed to be advised and represented by an attorney who was familiar with Florida's state statutes for elective shares regarding the surviving spouse. My situation required a lot of special research. David made me feel comfortable and confident that everything was covered. He kept me appraised of the current status, even though there were time issues holding up our progress. Given the circumstances of my case, I felt David was attentive, personable and gave my case the required attention to detail needed. I was especially impressed with the follow up on David's part and his paralegal, Cheryl. At the conclusion of my case, they both made me feel like I would want to use there service again and/or would refer my family and friends to them.
David and Cheryl, thank you again.

After being victimized by several other attorneys regarding Trusts, Elder Law and Guardianship I did extensive research prior to finding a West Palm Beach attorney with the expertise and experience of David M. Garten, Esq. He was very responsive regarding scheduling and thoroughly knowledgeable in his field of law. He was always sympathetic and concerned to act in my best interest. His fees were reasonable and there was never a suspicion that his time billed was inflated. Hiring Mr. Garten actually turned out to be an extremely excellent value when at our first meeting he suggested he would, and actually did notify my insurers who ended up carrying a significant portion of my case with Mr. Garten's supervision. I now know how fortunate I was to have been represented by such a caring, compassionate, and expert attorney. I would never hesitate to encourage anyone needing the type of legal services offered by Mr. Garten to meet with him. Although it was very unpleasant going thru a lawsuit, David Garten’s advocacy made the situation a lot more tolerable. I will remain forever grateful for his services.

I have known Mr. Loftin for six years now. I first encountered him while working as legal secretary at a Law Firm where he practiced. I found him to be astute, respectful and dedicated to his work. Who would have known that I would one day have to call on him for his services. My daughter had an issue on her job and was wrongfully terminated and denied Unemployment Compensation. Mr. Loftin was the first person I called. He listened. He responded promptly and gave us expert advice on how to proceed. After our hearing, my daughter received a letter in the mail stating that the decision to deny benefits had been reversed. I am grateful for the advice and responsiveness that I received from Mr. Loftin and I would hire and recommend him again and again.

My wife used Gonzalez Levenson. She was very pleased with their professionalism. When you are looking for a personal injury law firm, Gonzalez Levenson are two attorneys born and raised in South Florida. They have deep roots in the community and come from great families. Whether it is an out of court resolution or a jury trial of your peers, Gonzalez Levenson personal injury law firm are fearless attorneys that fight to get the compensation you deserve. I would not hesitate to recommend, when you are hurt due to the negligence of another, the injury lawyers at Gonzalez Levenson are the ones to see. They are brilliant and can practice any area of law. It appears that they do focus their practice in the area of motor vehicle crashes, tractor trailer, motorcycle, and car wrecks, however looking at their background, it appears they are so much more than just a motor vehicle crash/wreck personal injury car accident attorney.
