I needed an attorney today in the Ft Lauderdale area.
Upon review, I discover Wilkes and was as amused as
we had the same name. I called at 10:21 am and was given the 3rd degree as if I had to convince the sec'y to speak with him. When she asked my name I told her and maybe she felt it was a joke since we had the same name. I don't find it amusing. I left a message as I was told he was in a meeting but I was not convinced. I waited 6 hours and no reply. I called back at 4:11 and was given the same 3rd degree, put on hold and then told he was in "a meeting." It must be tough getting a new client if you are always in meetings and neve return a call. I tried again at 7:10pm. He was gone for the day. i was a CEO of a few companies and I would never leave my office without returning my calls. To not return a call is either arrogance, lack of concern or both. It is hard to imagine a law firm would deem this behavior acceptible, professional or tolerable. I guess Wilkes and his firm is just not good enough. What transpired is simply low or no class. I will find a firm who will solve my problem and not be my problem. I wish Wilkes better luck at his next job, he obviously is not meant for this one.

I cannot say enough good things about this law firm. They got me more than I expected in my settlement and I was very pleased with the outcome. Everyone of the staff was pleasant, professional and kept me informed every step of the way. It was easy to get in touch with them if I needed to or they would get back to me right away. Thank you especially to Billy and Russell and the rest of the team. Would highly recommend them!!

Came in last week to sign some paperwork for an estate and the lady at the front desk at suit 300 was very rude and unprofessional! I alittle lost on where exactly I needed to be and explain that I had an email telling me to come to this office to sign paperwork. Her voice of tone was extremely unpleasant and didn’t even try to help me out untill I found the name of the person I came to see…she than called in and I was greeted by the person I was looking to meet! Such a shame I had to experience that all while dealing with a love one passing.

I can’t recommend Becker & Associates more enthusiastically! Brian’s extensive experience with immigration law is unmatched, while the support and guidance I received from his team inspired so much confidence. Any question or concern I raised was met with urgency, positivity and care. It was essential to me that my representation be as committed to my case as I was, and their dedication to a positive outcome was evident at every step.
This is an unsolicited review; and an attestation that I stand behind unequivocally. Becker & Associates is the best decision that I made in my immigration journey!

If I could give Ken Minerley and the Minerley Fein Law Group zero stars, I absolutely would. Hiring this firm was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made, and it cost me over $50,000 before I had no choice but to walk away in the middle of my case.
In my experience, Minerley’s only objective was to rack up as many billable hours as possible with little regard for the outcome of my case. After retaining his services, my case was quickly handed off to an inexperienced associate named Ashley Adras, and from that point on, communication was practically nonexistent unless I aggressively pursued them for updates. Hearings came and went without any proactive communication from the firm, and it felt like there was no real strategy in place—just a series of filings designed to inflate the bill.
I’ve worked with many attorneys over the years, and none have been as disappointing as Ken Minerley. It felt like the focus was never on resolving my case efficiently, but on keeping the clock running to maximize fees. Thankfully, I’ve now hired competent legal counsel who are working to fix the mess this firm created.
I urge anyone considering this firm to look elsewhere. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. The experience left me feeling taken advantage of and completely unsupported.

Jacquelyn is a rare attorney who truly makes you feel like she cares about you beyond the case at hand. She is compassionate, communicative and driven to get the best possible outcome without cutting any corners. She handled my case in FL with me being a resident of NJ and was able to graciously handle all of the legal differences between the two states. I highly recommend her!

Attorney Alan Ginsberg, and his Assistant Anna are great, what people need to understand is that Rome wasn’t built in a day. That means a person has to be patient if they want great results. I would give the two of them a ten if I could. If they take your case I believe they believe that it’s winnable. So, again thank you Attorney Ginsberg and Anna.

I worked with Andrew Schwartz and his legal team, on a renouncement of a co-executorship. The situation was highly emotional for me, but Andy and Sunny really helped me to understand what was being asked of me and what my options could potentially be. They made me feel like my case - and my feelings - mattered.
They were professional, approachable, and handled the challenges - and my emotions - with skill and confidence. I am so thankful to have had their help and guidance. If you want legal team who knows their stuff and genuinely cares, look no further!

I recently had a probate issue in Florida and Ellis Law Group was recommended to me by my Maryland attorney. I worked with Ashton Malkin on the case. He was always professional, kept me up to date on what needed to be done, and completed our business in a very timely manner. All of the paperwork was clearly labeled and explained to me throughout the process. As I do not live in Florida, it was nice to have someone there who looked after my case without my having to prompt him. I highly recommend Ellis Law Group and Mr. Malkin in particular.

Leland was terrific in helping with a real estate purchase in Boca Raton. He was extremely conscientious about reviewing the sales contract. When it came to the closing he identified important errors that the seller's agents were making. That saved us hundreds of dollars. Leland is the best real estate attorney we've ever used. Recommend him without reservation.

I did not know Moss but got his name from a friend of a friend. Moss treated me well and fairly. I had a strange out-of-the-blue call from a lawyer for an adjoining property raising an issue. Another lawyer might have run up his hours on research and document filing etc, but Moss didn't do that...his advice turned it into a non-issue. When we subsequently sold the property he handled that quickly and efficiently. I especially appreciate how available he was to me...always returning calls quickly and professionally. I would not hesitate to use him again.

Moss was recommended to me by an attorney I use in Massachusetts. I was selling my mother's condo in Boynton Beach, Fl. without a broker. Moss not only drew up all the paperwork but was always there to advise me. (I needed a lot of that) He was crucial in being the problem solver when issues arose. I could not have made a better decision in choosing Moss. Iwould highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great, responsive and caring attorney.

As a former client of Peter J. Snyder, P.A., I feel compelled to share my deeply troubling experience. Mr. Snyder's conduct throughout my case was not just disappointing, but in my view, egregiously unprofessional and potentially unethical. I had to fire him and represent myself in court in order to win (which I did).
From the outset, communication was abysmal. I was left in the dark about crucial hearings and important case developments. How can an attorney effectively represent a client when they fail to keep them informed? This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a fundamental breach of the attorney-client relationship.
What's worse, Mr. Snyder made major decisions about my case without my input or consent. He elected for a non-jury trial without even discussing it with me.
The lack of diligence in handling my case was staggering. Despite my repeated requests, Mr. Snyder failed to initiate settlement discussions, unnecessarily prolonging the legal proceedings.
But perhaps most alarming were the ethical concerns. I believe Mr. Snyder misrepresented facts to the court regarding trial duration and evidence. He attempted to coerce me into accepting unfavorable terms. At times, it felt like he was working more for the opposing party than for me.
In my opinion, Mr. Snyder's actions demonstrate a shocking disregard for client advocacy and professional responsibility. I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone else seeking legal representation. If you're considering hiring Peter J. Snyder, P.A., I strongly urge you to reconsider. In my view, he has shown himself to be untrustworthy, unprofessional, and potentially unethical. You deserve an attorney who will truly fight for your interests, not one who might compromise them at every turn.

I called attorney Snyder on a Friday afternoon on an urgent basis as I needed him to review a real estate contract for the purchase of a home in Boynton Beach, Florida. The deal was falling apart fast and I desperately wanted the deal to go through. He was able to see me that same day and immediately after hiring him he contacted the seller's attorney and was able to close the deal. What a great experience and I really appreciated his extensive knowledge and understanding of my particular needs. Would absolutely use again!!

I am writing this review because i need to expose this mr Randall for who he is. He works for my condo association which means that my money is used to line his pokets. He is cleaning our reserves by threatening my neighbors and myself for no valid reason. He has no integrity and no ethics.
In addition , he is antisemitic. He had the audacity to serve me with a stupid fabricated letter on the Jewish high holidays just to disrespect my religion.
This man will sell his mother for a buck.
He is incomptent and abusive. Stay away from him.

If not within his area of expertise, he referred me to the right lawyers.

Asked Ron Lewis to handle Foreclosure case for me and once I got served he said he would handle it. His staff NEVER FILED THE PAPERWORK (the firm was never on the service list of the foreclosure complaint - which would show that the complaint was answered. I got default summary judgement and they still hid the fact that they never filed on my behalf. I had to hire another attorney to have it vacated. It was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE! THANK goodness the lawyer that replaced him was a "real" lawyer. I know this was years ago, but I came across an email from his staff that really irked me because they stated that I had "no meritorious defense tactics remaining" when in fact they NEVER said to me they didn't file the paperwork!!! Not only DID I have defense tactics remaining, I was able to vacate that default summary judgment (the judge saw that Ron Lewis never answered the complaint. I did save my home no thanks to Ron Lewis and Cynthia Reed... Here part of the last email written by Cynthia Reed (Ron Lewis's staff lawyer... After this email was sent, I asked why the complaint was never answered, where they never replied. Would you want them as your lawyer??? Here is the email...
Al, ...
"I seriously doubt you are financially able to pay for that Jupiter property - even if you make use of all the relief that Chapter 13 offers. And you are right – if you scrape up enough money to pay your Chapter 13 payments for a few months, then default and your case is dismissed – you lose that money and you will thereafter lose the property to foreclosure, since the lender will then reset its hearing and get its judgment and the property will be sold. You have no meritorious defenses, there are no “stall” techniques available in your foreclosure case, and if you are not in Chapter 13 making your payments on time, you will eventually lose the house. You indicated to me very clearly that you and your wife have come to terms with this, accept it as a likely if not definite outcome, and are ready to move on from the Jupiter house. "
Postscript:
I did file a complaint with the Florida, but I became ill after the dismissal of the foreclosure (foreclosure process was very stressful). I wish I had filed it timely. I may display all the paperwork on a webpage for everyone to see (simply the public record, invoices, and emails) and not put my opinion. I nearly lost my home because of this lawyer's actions ( nonactions actually).

Steven is head and shoulders above any other attorney I've worked with in the past. I am a real estate agent, specializing on commercial real estate. I recommend Steven to all of my clients, and they have nothing but glowing reviews about his performance. I recommend Steven because I have full confidence that he will make all of my clients (as well as myself) completely satisfied.

We have been working with Attorney Platzeck for 2 years. I find him to be extremely knowledgable regarding the law. He is easy to reach and will call back in a very timely manner. I feel that his billing has been very reasonable for the work he has provided.
More importantly I feel very confident when I give him issues to deal with. I know he aggressively pursues solutions in a cost effective manner. I also find him to be compassionate in my dealings with him. I would not hesitate in recommending Attorney Platzek.

incompetent and less than honest. The worst attorney I have ever seen. Because I was in a different state and she was recommended by someone competent, I used her. I did not think she could make things worse and believed the truth would prevail. She made things worse.

Ms. Hollingshead is both extremely professional and deeply knowledgeable. I hired her initially to draft estate planning documents (will, living will, power of attorney, health care surrogate, etc) for myself and my husband. Then when we separated, she advised me in how to update the documents to reflect my changed situation. Since that time, I've engaged her to advise me on a number of topics, including business strategy & real property acquisition. She has invariably given me sound advice, and correctly, completely, and quickly drafted and filed any and all documentation required. I would unhesitatingly recommend Ms. Hollingshead as a first rate attorney in all these areas.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
