Divorce is a difficult time to say the least but Chris was always professional, compassionate, and patient with me. He candidly gave legal advice but allowed me to make my own decisions without making me feel rushed.

I couldn’t be more impressed with Goldlaw! Don, Robert, and Alex were fantastic—always attentive and quick to respond to any concerns I had. Their attention to detail and commitment to keeping me informed throughout the process made all the difference. I truly felt like they cared about my case. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking dependable and professional legal support!

Words honestly can't describe the immense gratitude my family and I have for Attorney Andrew Darling and his law firm. Facing 10 years on two felony charges and I was adjudacted not guilty on both. Attorney Darling worked tirelessly when seeking discovery and his legal accumen gave me the reassurance I was in good hands. He is compassionate and gives you a no nonsense approach when communicating your legal options. Although, some things didn't work in my favor in the legal process. It was Attorney Darling who was there for both my family and I every step of the way. Whether it was picking up my phone calls in jail, throughout my case, and even during the aftermath Attorney Darling went beyond the typical standard of legal representation. He doesn't just care about you as a client, but he genuinely is passionate about justice, your family and how the legal system treats our community. Today, I am a better man and an active father in my son's life because Attorney Darling fought for us. So if you need help there is no doubt in my mind he will fight for you too.

I highly recommend Conti Moore Law. Great customer service. “Their quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.”

04 Sep, 2024 by Miss c

I called them to schedule the free 15 minute phone consultation… I let it be known that I was calling on behalf of my mother because there’s a slight language barrier and the receptionist (or whoever he was) informed me that they don’t take clients who can’t speak the language even if I am here to assist. Which I find very weird and off-putting, especially in this day and age, because it has never been an issue any other place!! He then proceeds to give me the number of another attorney located in Kissimmee and said that’s where they refer people to (people with language barriers I suppose?? Or people they just don’t want to take on as clients for whatever odd reasoning they have).

I highly recommend Richard Hornsby to anyone in need of legal representation! He helped me through a very crucial time in life. He is an outstanding attorney that gets his clients great results. I chose him as my attorney because of his very successful record. I will always be thankful for his assistance and hard work!

Mr. Hornsby has represented me in multiple cases. Every out come has been in my favor, and dismissed. He is very upfront and knowledgeable. When he took my case I knew I was in good hands and didn't have to worry. Today was victorious (once again) because of him. Very grateful for Hornsby and highly recommend him.

Lorna Truett was nothing short of amazing in representing me in an extremely messy and frustrating divorce case. She and her paralegal, Jodi, were there for me every step of the way, answering every question, and always had my best interest at heart. I am so thankful for them and the representation I received. I would recommend this team to anyone going through a divorce.

I had an aweful experience with these lawyers and they did what they wanted, didn’t listen to me at all and gave zero updates until I finally said that was enough stop working after I was given a price of 10,000. They will act like they are working and review records from a trust company that I never had a problem with but they have to steal money from you somehow!! And now I am having a problem with them holding on to the rest of the funds and they were unprofessional as well and I even had one of them screaming at me that was an office clerk. Worst experience!! And a bunch of con men!

I am very displeased with John Crone. I hired him in 2022 to take on a probate case and have been disappointed with the lack of communication. I have been trying to run him down only to get brushed off every time. I have emails stating that due to the amount of assets my father has this would be a couple month long case. I have been so stressed out due to lack of communication and being in the dark about everything that I have started seeking therapy. I go through the reviews and notice that those that are very pleased with his work have the opposite ethnicity of me. I want to put into perspective that he was paid up front exactly what he asked for and has been dragging my case for almost 2 years. He says my case is unique and promises to get back with information and never does. This has added unbelievable stress to me. I would not recommend him to any African American people. This already bad situation has gotten worse. I pray he finally gets back to me because it does not take months and months to answer questions or acknowledge my concerns.

John Crone is nothing but a pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, dilligent, and caring. If a higher rating were possible live oak law would get it.

Mr. Mitch Panter and his team (Candace and Thaylissa) amazing people whom worked diligently on my case. Within less than a year they settled my case and all throughout they ensured to contact all the pertaining parties on my behalf and kept me well informed, always one step ahead of me. Thank you for your assistance and wonderful team for your support.

26 Oct, 2024 by Ramon diez

I was very pleased with the work of Mr. Panter in handling my case. From the very beginning, he sat down with me and explained the case to me, and how the judicial system works. He explained to me all the legal fees involved, his expenses, and the expected costs to carry out my case. There was total transparency on his firm. Mr. Panter explained to me the case, made sure understood all the issues, before obtaining consent to proceed with the case. He educated me on his education, training and experience, and his experience in treating cases similar to mine. He was easily available, and would return calls promptly, if he was busy. Mr. Panter advised me on the confidentiality of the case, behavior such as posting on social media that could be detrimental to the case. Mr. Panter's office handled my case from beginning to end. and I was very pleased with his office staff. He always kept me informed on how the various legal expenses would be paid. He always kept me informed on future litigation costs and always made an effort to minimize those expenses. He helped me make informed decisions about my case. Mr. Panter always kept me appraised of how the case was progressing, and the possibilities of going to trial vs. obtaining a settlement. Mr. Panter always made sure to safeguard information regarding my case that if divulged could potentially be detrimental to my case. He made sure that no conflicts of interest or of litigation would exist that could affect my case. Overall, I was very pleased with his professionalism, his integrity, the handling of the case, and the high caliber of the office staff.

Great attorney’s are hard to find, great people even harder. Attorney Rodriguez and her staff are extremely knowledgeable, harding work, intelligent people that truly have their clients best interest at heart. Attorney Rodriguez and her staff are second to none. For them it’s not just a business, you’re not just a client, you’re also a person. It is this outlook that propels them daily to work as diligently as they do. Never have I ever seen a team put forth so much effort to support their clients to provide them with the best possible outcome. Much more than a law firm, more like a family. I am truly thankful to have crossed paths with Attorney Rodriguez and forever grateful for everything her and her staff did for me. Karen, Thank you most for being the incredible person you are.

This firm did not go the distance. Do not and would never recommend this firm to do your case justice. First off be mindful of the name Porter Law “Firm.” Porter NEVER worked the case. We had no communication with Porter EVER. Even when requested that he take over the case because we didn’t feel that the case was being handled aggressively as we were promised when hired. Initially we had hope. Thatcher was on the case and he was always prompt, he showed up and answered questions, and he was confident. Then it all changed. First, the state attorney was reassigned from the case then Thatcher left the firm and the case was reassigned to Abuetello. Always late, it got to the point where we just asked when will you be there so we don’t have to wait for all the other cases, uncertain and never forthcoming with answers to questions and had to start over with the case because she was newly assigned in place of Thatcher. We brought up the request to try for entrapment only to be told “ that’s too hard of an angle.” A couple of depositions later, requests for more money and finally we could talk negotiations only the negotiations were null. Usually at the trial point you would think a couple of offers would be extended, no. We got 1 offer. Then Abuetello tells us she is leaving the firm and the state attorney is new to the case and it’s this offer or risking it to go to trial. What other option is there. We felt rushed and without options.Now we have a sentence of prison time… A paid lawyer got us what a public defender could have. Later received closing documents and additional requests for more money. Highly disappointed in this firm and would NEVER recommend.

His website makes the misrepresentation that it is a free evaluation which makes people believe an attorney will be evaluating the case. They charged me $150 for a telephone consultation but claimed it was for a telephone evaluation (Misleading. I never received a valuation I only gave info. and schedule the telephone consult). Then the attorney Joseph told me that he would refund any unused retainer funds during the telephone conversation but when I got the retainer agreement, it stated NON-REFUNDABLE retainer of $12,000+ and that the money was earned upon receipt. When I asked him to remove the NON-REFUNDABLE term from the retainer, he refused and declined to represent me. It is my opinion from my initial dealings with him that he was not honest with me. And that he and his firm are very much aware that people are being misled to believe the term "schedule your free evaluation" is a "free consultation" by an attorney but they play on those words to get people to call the firm then they do a BAIT-N-SWITCH. Response to Reply Below I appreciate the immediate response. But the reply does not negate the true facts above. Nevertheless, as of today Oct. 13, 2023, I did NOT receive a refund of my $4,850.00 the reply claims was refunded.

Mr. Joseph and his staff were wonderful and professional in handling my divorce. It was simple, no children, no property, nothing to divide. I was able to provide them with all the documentation and information they needed electronically without having to go through office or court visits. No stress, no hassle, simple and fast! I highly recommend anyone in the same situation as me to contact The Joseph Firm without hesitation that this will be the best family law firm you will ever need.

14 Sep, 2024 by Stephanie wise

I hired two different attorneys from this law firm one for a divorce where I was promised I’d be able to get my premarital belongings but zero effort was made in that. I wasn’t able to get anything that belonged to me and most the stuff I did get was broken and damaged. She collected $4000 dollars from me and told me I’d be entitled to getting something that was purchased together with my husband and it was just a big fat lie on her behalf as I got nothing and was left to live in my truck and all My daughters things never returned to me. I also hired another attorney before this for my defense attorney against the state for a battery charge. He told me I would be a good candidate for an expungement once my probation was completed. Another lie from an attorney at this firm. I was advised by a lawyer elsewhere that if you have any priors at all you can never get an expungement in Florida. So both attorneys lied to me, collected money and left me homeless after getting beaten for the thousandth time by my husband. Now my ex-husband has beaten more woman in Saint Cloud and moved away since then. I wouldn’t recommend this lawfirm for anything to pertain to a divorce unless their other lawyers are much better then the one that Glenn set me up with. And he set me up with his wife. Not a good experience for me at all and I could of saved $4000 instead of waste it on her to get nothing and I would of been able to replace some of my things she never made any effort to be returned to me. She never returned my calls and I requested all her emails and things she said she did for my case and I received nothing in return. Ms. Reading the opposing attorney mentioned in court that a second offer was given to my attorney in mediation and I never did hear the second offer and I assume since I was in the same room for mediation that it wasn’t true. However with my experience with this lawyer maybe their was a second offer sent to her via email as I got none of the records I requested to have.

HBH law is definitely the most down to earth and friendly law firm I have come across with. I referred a close family member that was going through a difficult divorce situation and they were able to guide her in the right direction to avoid further headaches and expenses! I have met both Chris Bailey and Barbara Harris in multiple occasions and the interactions have been friendly and very warm. If you are looking for a family feel in your legal process and lawyers that truly care,I highly recommend HBH Law! Thank you guys for helping my family member find her freedom and peace of mind again!

We were victims of hurricane Ian. Our property insurance was with Slide Insurance. Their initial field adjuster was terrific and agreed that the roof needed replacement and the lanai screens repaired. Slide then sent 2 other field adjusters out to refute original adjuster claims and said damage was caused by poor maintenance by us. Well, enter Mike who guided us to a successful claim allowing us to replace the roof and other needed repairs. He was professional, personable and knowledgeable about how insurance companies operate. A perfect lawyer to have on your side when dealing with insurance companies. Thank you Mike! John & Annie Speaker Punta Gorda, Florida

Daniel Elkins was fantastic through every step of the process. I had called other law offices in the area and they put me on hold with multiple secretaries before I could speak with an attorney. Mr. Elkins picked up the phone directly and was extremely helpful from the start. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Thank you for your guidance, expertise, I acknowledge your hard work, expertise, great knowledge, legally super aggressive, respectful and carefully looking at the case based on facts and justice, I acknowledged you both! This has been a long journey and I am forever grateful to both of you as a team. This case is a navigation of rough waters and it takes great lawyers like you (2) to stand up for injustice with the legal system. Although war and pain might still be standing, but for the first time I feel like I am standing on a level playing field. What a wonderful feeling of relief to have two great super wonderful Attorney, I acknowledge you both! This case is a WAR full of pain, heartache, and Injustice, but I do acknowledge you both work so aggressively hard to find justice and again, this is the first time I feel like I am standing on a level playing field.

A family member had a medical emergency during a surgical procedure which caused great emotional distress. We consulted a few attorneys about the matter but the only attorney who was willing to provide guidance in a compassionate manner was Mr. Cleary. From our first phone call to his office and upon speaking with his assistant, Monica, we knew we were in good hands. Mr Cleary took the time to listen to our experience and concerns. Based on our conversations with him, we can confidently say that Mr. Cleary had our very best interest in mind at all times. After thoroughly combing over the medical records we provided, he took the time to explain all the possible outcomes in our situation. We would highly recommend Mr. Cleary and his staff, without reservation, due to the excellent, personal client service they provided.

I would give this law form 0 stars however -1 is the lowest , but here is my review Harris hung on me - a disabled veteran - when trying to receive my deed. His staff told me they were not obligated to give me the paper. After I called back Harris, calling me “bro” said he mailed it and fulfilled his obligation. Zero attention to detail, very little professionalism and in the end no resolution was established because he was too busy “bro’n” me. Please if your a veteran do not use this firm. I am a veteran from The 82nd 2/504 and the professionalism shown my Harris and his staff is a NO-GO - I even explained that I need the deed to submit my packet for a grant modifying my home to aid my disability. he laughed when I told him I would be leaving a review.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You

A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.

Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.

When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:

Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.

Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.

What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?

A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:

Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.

How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?

Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.

How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.

How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
