Worked with Benny at Vernon Litigation, helped me settle with another company on a case, and did a great job working with me and helping me get what I wanted, especially when I thought all was lost.

I consulted Chris Vernon about a family issue. He got back in a reasonable amount of time after I contacted the firm. We had the opportunity to speak about the details of the issue. In talking about it, I better understood the type of legal advice I needed. As it turned out, this was not the type of case that Vernon handled and I was referred to another lawyer and there was no charge for the consultation. I had a very positive impression of firm and would not hesitate to contact them again for litigation. They probably deserve 5 stars but since our work together was brief, I'm giving it 4.

My wife was referred to Vernon Litigation Group and we were so pleased with their work. Victoria handled the majority of her claim and we cannot say enough great things about her! She was very thorough in her work, communicated well, and was honest and kind every step of the way. If you want to be represented by someone who genuinely cares about you and will fight for what is right, look no further!

Being a Connecticut resident , having just bought a house in Naples, I needed to Quit Claim my Naples house to my Trust. Atty Oliver discussed the process with me, advised me to make sure my Florida bank was clear about the process, consulted with my CT Trust Atty and cleared the paperwork for proper filing through the bank in Florida . I was very pleased with all aspects of the transaction. Kudos to the office staff for their polite and professional communication to keep this process going . Thank you very much Jim

Wonderful experience. Mr. Boatman was able to help me through a difficult business issue efficiently, while educating me through the process and defending not only my business but also my integrity. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

My wife and I needed to replace our tile roof following a major hurricane. We selected a roofer who was highly recommended by a friend. He convinced me to sign an agreement to allow him to deal directly with my insurance company, actually misleading me with some absolutely false information. We selected James Boatman and his law firm to represent us as we endeavored to get legal control back from this fraudulent roofing company. I could not have been happier with the service provided by Mr. Boatman and his legal team, including attorneys Joseph Bare, Stephen Schahrer as well as Amy Juarez and the entire Boatman administrative staff. Once the Boatman Law Firm became involved, the fraudulent Roofing Company immediately worked with us to resolve the issue. This law firm and it's staff members are HIGH INTEGRITY, professional legal experts. We cannot overstate the importance of the great work Attorneys Boatman, Bare and Schahrer did on our behalf. Great Job!

When we called Lindsay Allen with our complicated civil case, Attorney Allen took on our case without hesitation. He quickly understood all the details. He was honest about the time it could take to resolve our case and the possibility of trial. We could see from that first appointment, that Attorney Allen cares about the interest of his clients and justice, more then making money on a case. There were never any surprises. The bills were always reasonable for the time spent. He continually prepared us for what to expect next. His expertise was obvious. Our case ended up going to trial, but with a very positive outcome. This was due to the hard work of Todd and his team. While the road was long, we were well taken care of. It's refreshing to find and attorney that cares and that you can trust. Thanks for all your help!

Todd Allen was the third attorney we had hired in the Naples area. A friend recommended him to us after they saw the problems we were having with our previous attorneys in reference to collecting a Foreign Judgment.
Mr. Allen returned my call immediately and I felt very comfortable with him from the very beginning. He knew that time was at the essence and he did not waste time acting on our behalf.
He research what he could do for us from the information we had provided to him and within days of signing his contract, he immediately went into action on our behalf.
He kept us posted and returned our calls/emails in a relatively quick manner. The outcome was a WIN for us and we can not express our gratitude.
I have personally worked for several attorneys over the last 20 years and I can honestly say that even though I have not worked for Mr. Allen I would be proud to do so!
I would highly recommend him to everyone and in the future if we need an attorney we will definitely use him again.

Todd is one of a kind and actively dealing with cases for us. He is incredibly thorough, kind and passionate about doing the right thing for his clients. Not only is he articulate but he cuts through all the surrounding fluff to get straight to the point of the matter. The letters he has written on our behalf and the litigation strategies he employs are exemplary and should be framed! No wonder The Daily Show was so interested in covering him!

Victor is extremely knowledgeable, professional, dedicated and very supportive. Throughout my whole experience, Victor showed me compassion and understanding, I could tell he truly wanted the best outcome for me. He was very thorough when answering questions, provided clear communication through each step of the process, and was very honest about possible outcomes of my case.
In addition, he consistently confirmed with me on what I wanted to do next and made sure I was comfortable with any and all decisions.
I was extremely satisfied with how he handled everything regarding my case and completely recommended him.

I am a litigation attorney in the Bonita Springs office of a state-wide law firm with over 500 lawyers. I work with and against other attorneys on a daily basis. I have worked on cases against Victor Bermudez, a local attorney in Naples. I have found him to be an effective adversary, highly professional, well-versed in the law and always seeking to find a resolution which is in the best interests of his client. If he is your attorney, you are in good hands.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Attorney Victor Bermudez. He is one of the most professional and hardworking attorneys we have worked with. Victor was very quick to pick up on the many details of our complicated civil case. Victor was very honest about the time that it would take to resolve our case. He was communicative through the entire process. The bills were clear and always an accurate representation of the time spent. We never felt over charged. He called and discussed with us what was happening every step of the way. And he personally called, not his assistant. It became clear, early on that he genuinely cared about our case and the damage we had experienced. The day before trial, Victor made himself available to us that entire day, should we have concerns or questions. He took exceptionally good care of us through the whole stressful process. Victor was meticulously prepared for trial. He was ready for every objection and was quick to respond without hesitation. There was nothing that shook him. He was calm and collected and deliberate during the trial. Our trial had an incredibly positive outcome due to the expertise and hard work of Attorney Bermudez. But I have to say even if our trial would not have had a positive outcome, I would still be writing this positive review. Lindsay Allen is very fortunate to have him as a part of their team. Thanks for everything!

Ian and Taylor were fantastic!! They helped me deal with my very difficult and spiteful ex husband on enforcing an court order that my divorce lawyer neglected to do. They were timely, compassionate, honest and they went above and beyond their job!! They were true Angel's and really helped me in my time of need and didn't take advantage like some lawyers do. I'm so thankful for them for what they did for me!! I would highly recommend them to friends and family and I would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat if I ever need their services! Awesome people!!!

I am grateful to have found an attorney that is in business for the right reasons. There is a sincere interest in the case that he undertakes, which I find to be very refreshing. My husband and I had struggled with a business issue for a couple of years, but was quickly resolved as soon as it was turned over to Mr. Holmes. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Allison Christensen is a fantastic attorney. From the first phone call with Allison I felt much better about my situation. She walked me through where she thought I stood in the matter, what the possible outcomes were, and how to prepare for each. She set realistic expectations of what to expect to help relieve my ongoing anxiety. Allison was always very responsive to communications and always left me satisfied that each question was answered. I have already recommended her to a family member.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jane Kim of KYZ Law, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, Ms. Kim demonstrated a level of caring and compassion that set her apart.
Ms. Kim excelled in communication, ensuring that I was informed and involved at every stage of the legal process. She took the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easily understandable, making me feel confident and empowered throughout the entire journey.
What truly impressed me was Ms. Kim's strategic approach to my case. She displayed a keen understanding of the legal landscape and formulated a brilliant strategy that ultimately led to a favorable outcome. Her attention to detail and thoroughness were evident in every aspect of her work.
Beyond Ms. Kim's legal expertise, she demonstrated genuine care for my well-being. She listened attentively to my concerns, provided emotional support, and made me feel valued as a client. This personalized attention made a significant difference and created a trusting attorney-client relationship.
In summary, working with Ms. Kim was a truly great experience. She combines legal expertise with a caring demeanor, excellent communication skills, and a strategic mindset. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Kim to anyone seeking not only a skilled attorney but also someone who genuinely cares about their clients' best interests.
Thank you, Jane, for your outstanding support and dedication.

I would like to thank the members of the new BVF Law Firm for the exceptional handling of a recent law suit filed against me. The plaintiff in the case filed a complex shareholder's derivative lawsuit most of which was totally false, however, due to the defendants being my company and my personal position as the past president of a condo association, the case required extensive understanding of both business and condominium law. BVF had the expertise to immediately get in the middle of this case for me and dealt with the plaintiff in a manner that one would not expect from a new firm. My case was headed by Jason Vishio as lead attorney and supported by Brett Fisher. The combination of that team managed to put together an excellent response to the plaintiff's claims, but also a counterclaim against the plaintiff which set the opposing attorney back on his heels. The Plaintiff's attorney immediately knew he was in competition with a very knowledgeable and professional law firm. During my 35 year of business dealing with multiple lawsuits in the million dollar range, I have never experienced the professional handling of a relatively smaller case on the basis that the combined team at BVF fielded in my defense. Their response to the case was solid and could not have been better and the professional level of the counterclaim could not have been more complete. So the ultimate settlement in my favor, while it took a while due to normal court delays, was very positive for me. I would and have already recommended the BVF Law firm to anyone looking for a highly-talented and professional young law firm in SW Florida. The partners are very aggressive and will deliver 150% effort in representing their client in the court system. This up and coming firm will set a new high to other firms in SW Florida to match and increase the professional level to match large city top flight law firms. This firm is top notch and far different from most SW Florida Law firms.

I practiced law with Jason Vishio for several years in Reading, PA before he moved to Florida. Jason was one of brightest young lawyers with whom I've worked in my 20-year career. He is able to understand facts and identify legal issues quickly and is a skillful advocate in both his legal writing and oral presentation. He also has sound ethics and is genuinely a good person who cares about his clients' legal problems. If I needed an attorney to handle a legal matter for me, I would be quite confident in Jason representing me.

Before I was referred to Magen, I had consulted more than four lawyers to review my husband immigration case. All of them brushed me off, or quote me an outrageous amount of money because they consider the case to be extremely difficult if not impossible. Being referred to Magen Kellam was a blessing! from the first consultation appointment, I felt respected and heard. Magen is incredibly trustworthy, professional, and kind. I didn't feel like I hired her, but instead, she accepted "my case", which was indeed difficult but not impossible like other lawyers had stated before. She followed up during the whole process and our case was successfully approved.. I will be forever grateful to her, and her team. Magen Kellam is a superb lawyer and an outstanding human being.

Alan was involved for nine months in my real estate dispute which took over two years to conclude. He joined with his partner Michelle Hurvitz who had been leading the case since it began. Because of Covid I was not able to meet Alan in person, but it really didn't matter. His dedication and compassion were readily apparent by phone and zoom, and I immediately trusted his integrity and outstanding legal skills and judgement. He worked smoothly with Michelle to move my case to a successful verdict (We won!). They communicate openly and honestly and hone each other's thinking. I've taught executive teamwork in many companies and countries, and these two, Hamisch and Hurvitz, are the real deal.
