Attorney Ozment and his staff were extremely helpful in guiding me through my Chapter 7 case. From the first meeting, I knew that I wanted his office to represent me. He outlined my options, explained everything about bankruptcy and filing simply and clearly, told me how much it would cost and payment options, helped me to understand the differences between the various chapters, and followed me through the process every step of the way. A week before my trustee meeting, his office scheduled an appointment for me to talk with Atty. Ozment by phone so he could explain the trustee meeting, how it would work, what questions I might be asked, and to go over information in my petition to make sure I understood all the details in the document. I really appreciated the time that he took to do that as it helped me be less nervous for the meeting. The staff in the office were also very helpful, kind, and supportive throughout the process. I also appreciated that they were responsive to emails and respectful of my time and commitments through the process, too. Highly recommend!

I hired Drake Ozment and his team of professionals to handle my bankruptcy. They made a very difficult situation bearable, from my first meeting with Paul Visnovske, through my court date, and the following 5 years. My questions were always answered quickly and with the utmost professionalism any time I called the office. Thank you Ozment team!!!

I had been using Mr. Cripps from the time my son was 2 for my initial divorce and child support and his fathers indiscretions until he was 13. Never once did he promise me ANYTHING! There were times I felt so frustrated and wondered what the hell he was doing? Why wasn’t he ordering drug tests? Why wasn’t he fighting harder? All the while what I didn’t know was that Mr. Cripps knew the system inside and out and knew it would not fly. Not to mention the integrity and trust he has built with the courts is stellar! They know he’s not there to just throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks. The many many times we were in court we won, EVERY TIME! And when my sons father would show with a high payed attorney that his mom payed for they would try and bs, along with my ex, and lost! The one thing I truly regret was listening to a friend who convinced me to use another attorney at a very crucial point in time, that he had used and I ended up paying probably about 6 times what I would have paid with Cripps and I know he still would have done better than she did. I still won but even she didn’t think she did. There is no doubt in my mind he would have too! And better! Mr. Cripps would always talk me down. I was very emotional, scared, lost, angry, all the things! And he was so patient with me. I will never forget the one thing I always remember and carry with me that he told me, “he will hang himself” he said to me. At the time that frustrated me but when I look back I can tell he knew the type. He simply has seen it all. Mr. Cripps has a secret guys. He reads people. He knows what he is doing without having to charge people what these other thieving lawyers do! All with integrity, honesty, trust, and just no bs! So if you are looking to spend a lot of money on a “tiger” go right ahead! But my money would be on Mr. Cripps every time! He truly is a Godsend!

Where to start?? I went thru a 2 year divorce, and Mr Cripps was with me every step of the way. Her lawyer tried to screw me every step of the way, and Mr Cripple blocked them every time, they had ZERO wins! He may not tell you what you want to hear, but he will ALWAYS tell you what's in your best interest. This is a very emotional time, and your not always thinking straight, but he ALWAYS is !! I dont think you could find better representation!!

I’ve worked with a number of great immigration attorneys so far. Based on that experience, I must say Mrs. Delgado is definitely a super attorney. She is impressively knowledgeable and has years of experience along with a track record of success. She is able to handle the most complicated immigration cases. In addition to her fantastic qualifications, she is truly nice and caring as a human being, which are imperative qualities when it comes to immigration. She helped me a lot and therefore, I strongly recommend Jacqueline Delgado. Hire her and rest assured your immigration case will be taken care of in the best possible way.

I have known and hired many lawyers; but Gerry has no match. That's the first time I've met a lawyer who deliberately refuses to overcharge a client. He reasonably charged me and allowed me to pay as he resolved and won my case. He was always there for me; my calls were promptly answered (weekdays and/or weekends). As I usually call him: Brother, "Only God can give you back what you've done for me!"

I always use these reviews to make choices and often wonder if they are real. I know for a fact now that all the great reviews on Gerald Salerno are true. We called on a Saturday and he immediately said I'll go in and meet you at my office. He is honest and diligently gets all the facts before advising. He will let you know exactly what is to be expected and what steps will be taken. He would answer any of our questions at any time. He was available by phone, email or text if we needed him no matter what the issue was. He made a difficult time so much easier, just knowing he was on it made a huge difference. He is experienced and knows what is needed and gets it done very efficiently. Even after he was paid and all was done he still contacted us at later dates to make sure all was going well. It was definitely a very good choice in hiring him.

I've had the pleasure of working with Cory Strolla on a few legal matters over the past couple of years, including one that is currently ongoing. I am extremely impressed with Cory's skills as a lawyer and I have benefited tremendously because of his legal expertise and advice. Cory is extremely knowledgeable in criminal and civil law. I am currently involved in a highly contested civil litigation case. Cory has done a tremendous job helping me navigate this challenging situation and the advice & expertise he provided were crucial in helping me secure a victory at a recent emergency motion hearing. His fees are very fair for the service he provides. He is extremely accessible, too. I have exchanged messages about my situations with Cory at all times of the day and night. There have been multiple occasions where I've messaged Cory questions near midnight and he has responded within a matter of minutes. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and highly recommend his services to anybody in need of HIGH QUALITY, HONEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT A FAIR PRICE! Trust me, you'll be in good hands and you'll be grateful for hiring him to help address your legal issues. I can't say enough good things about Cory and will use him again in the future if I ever find myself in need of an attorney.

Mr Strolla is a top notch attorney. He returns calls as soon as possible. He helped me with a criminal matter I was involved in. The reason he was referred to me and I chose him was because all of his Legal years experience as A State Prosecutor and in his private defense law practice. Not just my case I have followed Some of his cases with a very impressive win record. He has also been on several high profile cases in Florida. If you’re looking for a trial defense attorney Cory Strolla is your attorney.

During the hardest time of my life, Jennifer was amazing, helpful, understanding, empathetic, kind, and truly a pleasure working with. She took the time to explain things to me over and over if I did not understand them, and she completely understands the grief process and how we all go through it differently. She never once told me that I was a bother to her and she worked on a personal, yet professional level 100% of the time. I would highly recommend Jennifer for all Estate Planning, in fact, she came to us through a referral from a family member who used her services. Truly a kind and understanding attorney.

I developed such a great and friendly relationship with her and I will be using her services in the future. I would recommend her to everyone and I can assure you that you would be in good hands and you will not regret your decision. She is very prompt with her responses and always takes care to communicate and follow up. To say the least, I’m glad that I chose her to handle my case. Without her expertise, I’m not sure if it would’ve been possible for my case to be wrapped up quickly and have a positive outcome. Thank you, Jennifer!

I have had the opportunity to have Keith represent me in two cases over the past 4 years. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney than Keith after my car accident. From the start, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. He guided me through the entire process, explaining every step and making sure I understood my options. The communication was excellent; whenever I had questions, Keith was quick to respond and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. He fought hard to get a fair settlement and didn’t back down when the insurance company tried to lowball me. The outcome was better than I had hoped for, and I truly believe it was because of his dedication and expertise. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone in need of a skilled auto injury attorney. You can trust him to take care of you and fight for your rights.

From the very beginning, Keith showed genuine care and concern for my well-being and the safety of my family. He was thorough, attentive, and made sure to explain every stepof the legal process in detail, putting me at ease during a stressful time. After the insurance company made minimal offers to settle the case, Keith didn’t back down and filed a lawsuit on my claim and worked diligently to achieve a favorable settlement. His expertise and dedication to my case were clear throughout, and I truly felt like he was fighting for my best interests. I can't recommend Keith Hedrick enough to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney who is not only skilled and professional but also truly cares about his clients.

Adam defined a strategy in which he and his firm asserted a counterclaim for abuse of process and pressed for appropriate written discovery responses, gradually shifting the momentum of the case. Adam prepared me for my deposition so well, it contributed to me receiving a favorable settlement a few months later.

I dont even know where to begin with reviewing Mr Shalhoub and his team. I have been seperated from my NOW ex husband since Feb of last year....after months of not acting on it i was finally served by my ex for the divorce. I than scrambled to find an attn. A friend referred me to another attn who will remain nameless, and will not go into much detail, but after being told "maybe you should get back with your ex husband and have him sign a post nuptial agreement" (my ex husband was trying to make me sell my house and give him half when he had no entiltment to it) I knew i had to take matters into my own hands and find someone else. I had a GOOD friend who is a retired police officer refer me to Mr Shalhoub. His team quickly got me in for a consulation and Mr Shalhoub was right on it fighting for my home. Promising me that i am safe. Within 30 days I WAS DIVORCED and my house was safe. There are no words to show my appreciation to Mr Shalhoub. I will be forever grateful for him making this a VERY easy process!!! Do not look any further when looking for a good family attorney.

Joe Considine helped save my wife’s life and restord our family including allowing 2 children to have their mother back. With my wife suffering from Alcoholism and refusing to get treatment, I turned to Joe to get her court ordered rehab through the Marchman Act. Within 24 hours of my first call to Joe, we had a court order and the following day she was in rehab. Joe and his staff worked quickly and efficiently to ensure she received the treatment she needed. He kept me informed and sent me emails with all filings and communications with other parties throughout the process. He prepared me for the hearings and walked me through what to expect so I was fully prepared. There was a very difficult and uninformed opposing counsel who potentially could have derailed our efforts but Joe was able to push forward and get the court order for a full stint in rehab and sober living. Fast forward several months, and a family has been reunited and rebuilding their lives with total sobriety and 12 step programs. Joe is an attorney who is passionate about what he does and cares about his clients and their families. He is the first person you should call if a loved one is suffering from the disease of addiction and needs help.

Mr Stambaugh is extremely knowledgeable, well versed, dedicated and honest. He has been a fierce advocate on my behalf in a boundary line dispute with a neighbor who believed he could disregard the law and do things his way by bullying me. Mr Stambaugh was there from beginning to end winning the dispute. I would definitely enlist his services if need be again and have recommended him to others.

Genny was recommended by another attorney to help our family with planning for our father-in-law. After our consultation, she was honest and told us we did not need her service for what she said we needed to do. Genny is extremely bright, personable, communicates in a timely manner and overall an A+ attorney. I would highly recommend you invest in an hour long consultation with her if you need to plan for Elder Care in Florida.

I needed an attorney to handle my divorce about a year ago. I had been married a long time and was a basket case. I was referred to Deirdre thru someone at work. She immediately put me at ease during our first consultation. She guided me thru a very difficult time, always looking out for my best interest. During mediations, she always tried to keep my costs low, and helped me to reach a very favorable conclusion to my case. Not only would I recommend Deirdre as an attorney, I also consider her a friend. She helped me put my life back together, something I will be forever grateful for...

I feel quite certain he would be a great choice as representation in any category, family law most certainty ! Thanks so much !

Mr. Daniel Bachert successfully represented me since 2015 in my case. I was all ready divorced and my ex-husband wanted to modify the child support. Even though the child support was modified, Dan was able to prove that my ex-husband was not only failing to pay child support, but the alimony and the court-ordered school expenses for over 10 years were also in arrears. My ex-husband was also found in contempt for failure to provide documents relating to the children. Mr. Dan Bachert provided excellent representation and service. He always gave me excellent legal advice. I will recommend him to anyone that has to go through any divorce proceedings.

I hired Dan after attempting to file what I believed was a simple custody and support arrangement regarding my then 2 year old daughter. Her mother had started refusing to allow me to see her, even though I had been sending her money to help with my daughter's expenses. I filed the initial paperwork and attended the first mediation on my own, believing that it would be simple. We were only together a short time but were not married, and I wanted to help raise and provide for my daughter. Unfortunately, her mother wanted me to provide for both of them and was determined to keep me out of my daughter's life until I agreed to her demands. I hired Dan because I quickly found out that the system favors mothers, and despite my intent, I was not going to be a part of my daughter's life if I didn't get legal help. Dan put me at ease right away. He worked closely with me over the next few months attempting to come to an arrangement that worked. Unfortunately, my daughter's mother held her position, and ultimately we had to go to court. My daughter's mother was extremely unreasonable and grasping at straws, making her volatile and unpredictable, but Dan was prepared for every possibility. His knowledge and professionalism kept me and my then fiancé calm and collected throughout the process. In the end, not only did Dan negotiate true 50/50 shared custody and cost sharing, but due to his presentation of the facts, I picked up my daughter the very next day. This was more than I could have hoped for after 7 long months of not seeing her at all. I highly recommend Dan as his expertise guaranteed me the chance to help raise my daughter and ensured she is part of my family as well as her mom's.

Rick Hutchinson of Hutchinson & Huffman, P.A., was a beacon of hope during our difficult time. When I first met Rick, I was initially very skeptical about attorneys in general. However, my first call with Rick brought a sigh of relief, marked by three remarkable differences: 1. He is a very different lawyer than others we have met. 2. He listens attentively and provides honest assessments, even if it's not what you want to hear. His honesty is refreshing and rare. 3. He treats you as one of his family members, which is exceptionally rare in his line of work. Due to my husband’s case, the lengthy process of 4 years took a toll financially and mentally for my family and this was especially true for me. Rick is like a brother, he is always there to give us/me hope and guide us through this painful experience. To describe Rick Hutchinson in one sentence, I would say “Rick is a God send to us”. I am truly blessed to have him help me and my husband in Florida. Rick is well-equipped to handle any challenge that comes his way, displaying a level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets him apart.

Over 11 years ago I first met Rick when I was about to be charged with two 30-year counts. Because of his intellect, connections and careful planning, I went from spending the rest of my life in prison to non-adjudicated probation to having my charge sealed. If I were asked beforehand what I thought the greatest possible outcome was, I wouldn't have even believed that this would be the possible! During my eight year probation I had therapy with hundreds of others who had the same issues I went through, and NOT ONE had the same outcome I got from Rick. There's no way to overstate this, if you want an outcome that will exceed your expectations, you NEED RICK ON YOUR CASE. I owe my life and my freedom to Rick.

Our family used Mr. Hutchinson based upon a recommendation for a family member involved in a serious criminal matter. We had never been involved in anything like this. Mr. Hutchinson upon our first meeting was apathetic, knowledgable and concerned. Immediately we knew it was not a matter of just a job for him, but he genuinely was concerned on getting the facts and helping our family member. Promptly, he took action investigating, contacting those involved following steps to keep our family member safe and treated fairly. The situation continued for 9 months. During that time we were in contact with him often and he called us night and day. If we contacted him, he returned our calls immeditely. His professionalism and knowledge of the laws and systems is brilliant! We went to court and felt at ease with not only the preparation he had given our family member but his presentation in court. He had the facts of the case, documents to verify them, relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family member. To this day, we can still call Mr. Hutchinson and ask him a question and he is more then happy to talk to us and take the time for us. We are grateful for his service. Our family member would not be where he is today had Mr. Hutchinson not represented us!!!

Had a consultation with Cristie Sennett. She was 10 minutes late for the appointment and ended our appointment 25 minutes early, saying "you can talk about this on your own time". She offered very little legal perspective, but freely shared her personal opinion on our family affairs (unrelated to our pursuit) and made the current conflicts even worse. She offered personal stories of her family member who has Multiple Sclerosis and qualified to have shower bars put up in their home. Again, unrelated to our pursuits. I would not recommend this lawyer.

My wife and I have been fighting for visitation for my 5 year old son from someone else, For some odd Reason (so we though at the time) she would not allow the "father" to be in this child's life. For the first time, Malik Leigh got my story out there in front of the judge and taken care of. If you are just starting your Child Custody agreement or if you’re feeling beaten and you’re ready to give up, you need to hire this guy. Having already experienced several attorneys who tell you what you want to hear, yet ultimately do nothing for you—except take your money, we gave Malik a try. He has been an honest open real human being who genuinely cares. Rather than someone who just wants to collect our money. He fought for us endlessly to find out if my son was even mine or not, and went out of his way to get proper information and paperwork for our case and well as termination. After a tough fight- The Truth was finally revealed and everyone's stress and problems were put to rest. Thank You so much Malik for helping Me and my wife open a new chapter to life. Without you, I would have never known! The only thing I REGRET is not hiring you SOONER!!

Mrs. D'Alo was soft spoken, prepared, precise and to the point. This was an extremely emotional case, a bitter break-up, and a dog used as a pawn to win the other back. Mrs. D'Alo lead with the facts of the case, the rights of her client, all the while being played by a con artist, the defendant. After she won a temporary judgement for the me, the victory was never followed through on the defendants side. She calmed and encouraged me, even though i was grieving the lost of my support dog to just let her handle the case and justice will prevail. Mrs. D"Alo, asked exact questions needed for the case, while getting to know me. She didn't scare, she fought with know facts, honesty, and her better judgment. I fell apart many a times, as the waiting game was extremely scary and difficult, but my lawyer looked me in the eyes and said were here to win this, and the law is behind us, she made what seem like forever to me, needed in order for us to win and not come back here again. Mrs. D'Alo, won the case for me and my dog, and also won me a peace of mind that i will never be frighten to lose him ever again. Mrs. D'Alo was very compassionate and dedicated to my case.

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.

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.
