Thanks to a mutual client, I had the honor of crossing paths with Seth Mann and his team approximately nine months ago. Seth Mann and his team provided invaluable support to our mutual client during a challenging time involving probate and estate issues. Their assistance enabled me to list and promote the property for sale successfully. I am genuinely grateful to Seth Mann and his team for their exceptional knowledge in probate and estates and their professionalism and responsiveness in addressing my and our mutual client's concerns. I cannot speak highly enough of this firm and will recommend Seth Mann and his team to my loved ones, friends, and future clients. - Jessica Sippel

My husband and I have known professionally of Seth for many years in our Law Enforcement careers here in Pasco and Hernando Counties. We definitely would not have allowed anyone else to service our Estate Planning needs; Seth is a highly driven individual who gives the same attention to his clients as he does his friends, neighbors and family. He is honest and direct but makes you feel no pressure when you are the most under pressure. We highly respect Seth as a human being and professional Esquire and definitely highly recommend him to be your Estate attorney for any of your needs.

At first Seth Mann seems like he is going to take care of everything. I trusted him to handle my dad’s estate through probate. After our initial meeting, I never heard from Mr. Mann. All my dealings were with his law clerk Richard. 2 of my family members reached out by email and phone to ask some questions. Richard said Mr. Mann would contact them back, but he never did! My brother asked by email a question about contesting a will. After that email to Mr. Mann, I received a phone call from Richard, that Seth Mann does not handle any wills that may be contested and he is giving me back the packet. I was upset that I was never told this in the beginning. Plus my brother was asking a question. He had no intention of contesting our dad’s will. Seth Mann had my dad’s will and all the information for 4 1/2 months. From September2023 to February 2024. I asked Richard what work was done on my dad’s case? I was told nothing because I didn’t sign any agreement to retain Mr. Mann as the attorney, nor did I pay a retainer fee. Why would I give them all the paperwork if they were not hired? Plus their was no retainer fee. The lawyer get 3% after the will goes through probate! So Mr. Mann did nothing to help my dad or my family settle his estate! After my experience, I could never suggest anyone use this lawyer! He wasted our time! I was told it would take 9-12 months. We thought we were 1/2 way there , to learn we are starting from scratch!

You won't deal with a real attorney most of the time, but his incompetent staff trying to rip you off. This company wasted huge amount of my time, STAY AWAY.

06 May, 2023 by Melissa cabrera

If I could give the Troum law firm more than 5 STARS I would (I’d give them 10 STARS). The team including (Mark and Julie) were empathetic to my specific situation, always made me aware of all options available to me and helped ease all of my apprehension of the unknown. Julie is a God send !!! She is the one who made me feel comfortable to hire the Troum law firm from the beginning. She was patient, thorough, detailed, understanding and always so empathetic to my feelings. In the beginning of my divorce I had no idea what to expect and Julie continued to walk me through it with no hesitation. Now looking back it was the best decision I made to have her and Mark on my team. Mark is the sharpest, smartest and most knowledgeable lawyer. He was always personable , readily available, tactful, patient and his demeanor always put me at ease that I would get through any situation seamlessly. He was so patient in his approach and I never felt rushed or like a number. His years of experience helped in every situation because he was able to anticipate every outcome. If you’re debating on a law firm look no further these are not only team of experts but they treat you like a human being and specifically tailor to your situation. The Troum Law Firm saved me and changed my life for the better and I will be forever grateful to Mark, Julie and team. This team gave me the strength and confidence I needed to tackle my situation head on. Choose them they’re worth every penny I promise.

Terrible service. The "manager" hated that I needed multiple options for dates (I'm sorry I have to work and don't have endless availability). As soon as I was able to pick a date and time where the lawyer and I were available, I booked it however due to an emergency, I asked to be rescheduled after I sort out the emergency. Reschedule, not cancel. You would've thought I insulted her. She then told me to use another attorney because of so much back and forth on the dates among other things. When you have more than 1 person with busy schedules, it comes with the territory that back and forth. Needless to say, I will not be using them for anything at all.

Brian is the man, I reached out to many lawyers before him. It was either they didn’t bother to look into my case or they immediately wanted to charge an arm and a leg. Brian not only figured out what he could provide and help me with, within our first conversation, but he was the most realistic w/ expectations and most tedious with his findings. I recommend Mr. Lail to anyone in the area and anyone nearby.

I was very satisfied with her representation of me, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing family law help.

In September 2023 my daughter hired Tracey Carlisle to file a petition to modify the time-sharing agreement in place; request child support and file a motion for contempt of the court order agreement between her and the father of their child. Tracey accepted the case; a downpayment of $1500 towards her $3K retainer! Seven months have expired, and Ms. Carlisle has failed to meet any expectation as agreed upon. From 2004 thru 2020 there have been several small claims filed against Tracey Carlisle, as well as a long list of poor reviews on numerous sites. Despite the individual outcomes, the claimants share a common denominator…the pattern of continual abuse and neglect is apparent. Neglecting scheduled meeting attendance and failing to advise or obtain consent (unilateral decision-making) from her client to reschedule critical hearings; Inappropriate language usage towards client; Demanding correspondence be limited to emails or texts; Errors in legal documentation – my daughter had to make multiple revisions on Tracey’s petition for contempt court - clearly showing incompetence and lack of consideration for her client; Demanding her clients do the “legwork” in obtaining documentation, she or her useless paralegal could have easily gathered; Non-Disclosure of Conflict of Interest and Representation Despite Known Conflict of Interests; Violating confidentiality via email with a third party. Note: A fundamental principle in the client-lawyer relationship is that, in the absence of the client's informed consent, the lawyer must not reveal information relating to the representation. In short, if you need a competent attorney who is “not” all about taking your money and failing exponentially, stay clear of Tracey Carlisle and call the Florida Bar Association at 850-561-5600; they will provide you with referral for exemplary attorneys in your area.

I hired Tracy back in September 2023 regarding a modification of time sharing, child support and contempt against my abusive ex. It is now May 2024 and not one thing has been done to save my child from her abusive father. I had a hearing in April 2024 and I was the only person to appear. You can only imagine how defeated I felt. I had to take the rest of the week off of work because she had completely destroyed my mental state as she knows I am a domestic abuse survivor and has continuously FAILED ME. I had to find out from the mediator that Tracey had agreed to extend this hearing for another 3 MONTHS. Tracey failed to even mention that she had extended this hearing. I had to be the one to confront her about this and she stated she had “called and left me a voicemail” 2 weeks prior. I checked my call log, voicemail box and emails on this date and there was NOTHING from her. Not only did she flat out LIE to her own client, she has raised her voice at me as I expressed my concerns about never being able to get ahold of her, her paralegal telling me I couldn’t speak to Tracey for 2 weeks at a time. Tracey made me feel like I worked for her and gave me “homework”. Running around town finding documents and updating her on things that she could do herself. So much more in between I can’t even imagine express. Tracey has not given me a drop of helpful advice, no guidance in any way shape or form and continued to take money out of my account after I was forced to hire a new lawyer. She expects me to continuously pay her when she’s no longer my lawyer? If you’re that money hungry, just say that Tracey. Tracey is completely untrustworthy and unreliable and should have her license taken away as she hurts people that are desperate for help. One of the worst experiences I have ever had. RUN. Tracey if you’re reading this - I hope you can prove this “voicemail” you left me as I will be filing a lawsuit against you. If you can lie about something that simple, I can’t imagine all of the other lies you have told me. I truly pray that you find God.

02 Sep, 2020 by Crystal

Tracey was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable and understanding. She knew exactly how we needed to proceed in order to get a fair judgement. And that is exactly what happened. After multiple failed attempts with different lawyers in the past, Tracey helped us through pretty difficult custody issues and we are very pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

John Thornton was excellent at both listening and also communicating with me regarding all details related to my case.

He is assertive when needed and good at collaborating with other professionals as well. I am very thankful I chose their law firm to represent me!

I can’t say enough good things about the care and attention to detail that Ms. Hamilton took with my child custody case. My situation was extremely difficult and emotional. Ms. Hamilton instantly knew what the right course of action would be and took the time to make sure that I got the best possible agreement and would have the ability to protect my daughter.

From the moment I hired Genova Family Law to represent me in the divorce process, I felt supported and informed throughout every step of the legal process, fostering a sense of confidence and trust. Beyond mere legal representation, Genova Family Law prioritizes the holistic welfare of individuals and families, recognizing the emotional complexities inherent in family law matters. Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to client satisfaction stand out in the legal profession. I wholeheartedly recommend Genova Family Law as a premier choice for anyone needing expert legal assistance in family matters.

09 Mar, 2024 by Lester

Anthony Genove is a great Attorney and has a great team working for him, I would even go as far as to say he is one of the best in south Florida. A lot of Attorneys say they care about you but Anthony dose, he may not be able to take you call right then and there but he will call you back in a timely manner. My case dragged on for over four years and Anthony was there all the way to the end, there are many time we would talk about my case till late at night going over all the things we need to do. Unlike some Attorneys Anthony will keep you informed on what's going on with your case and he will tell you the truth about your case good or bad. There is not enough great things I can say about Anthony you can trust him to do right

PAUL H. BOWEN ATTORNEY Just kept taking my money for 3 yrs. or more, approx. 15000.00. without even one court hearing. It was cancelled 4-5 times by Judge. 2- times he did not file paper work on time so, the Judge cancelled. So i had to pay him anyway for nothing. He finally backed out of defense because i would not pay any until we went t court. He said if he lost the case i would not pay him. This man does not care about his clients like all the past reviews. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE; ALL PAST REVIEWS ARE FROM 3-7 yrs ago. No recent ones. P.S. Some reviews say how professional his staff was, he does not have any staff. He is always alone and he rarely returns your calls.

09 Oct, 2018 by Erica

I hired and worked with Mr. Bowen for two years on my family law case. I had spent years trying to resolve it fully, without success. Paul took to time to sit down with me and go over all possible outcomes. He was easy to reach and was able to get results for me. I felt a tremendous amount of stress relief as a result of my case being finally settled. I highly recommend Paul Bowen and his firm. They are extremely professional, kind and understanding.

Mike Lundy is an extremely competent and professional attorney. I would highly recommend him to those seeking the very best in legal counsel. He is an exceptional attorney with amazing skills. He is polished, articulate, well prepared, confident, understands complex financial matters and is very well respected among his peers and the judges. Mike is also very responsive and answered all my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. My case was a divorce modification case brought about by my ex-husband. Mike Lundy was not the attorney I used in my original divorce, but how I wish I had! My life would be entirely different. The most important decision anyone makes in a divorce is the choice of counsel. Choose wisely, because there are no do overs! I made a wise decision in selecting Mike Lundy to represent me during this tumultuous time. My case was contentious and long and unfortunately could not be settled outside the courtroom. Mike has amazing skills in the courtroom. His arguments are well prepared, concise and he is an exceptional strategist. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of the very best in legal representation. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment I met Michael, he was very thorough in explaining the specific details of what I could expect in my divorce case all the way to the day I finally got divorced. He was an excellent listener and was compassionate throughout the entire 2 years of my divorce. He was very kind, caring, personable and had an authentic interest in all the specifics of my life/case and continued to provide me with excellent advice every step of the way. His courtroom skills were top notch; he was extremely prepared, eloquent, confident, sharp, professional in every way as he presented my case in the courtroom. He was very responsive to every email, phone call and question I had was respectful of the time we spent working together. His team was consistently on top of the smaller details and also had a very compassionate professional manner while handling my case. Michael is unique and unlike most lawyers....he cares about his clients and demonstrates this in his client attorney relationship and in the courtroom.

Jennifer is a stellar attorney that cares significantly more about getting the results a client wants than any other lawyer I’ve worked with. She goes above and beyond during each step of the process to keep you feeling up to date and understanding of the potential outcomes. She has dismissed over 5 tickets for me and I encourage any reader to take the time out to discuss their case needs with her. When I asked what I could do for her, she stated clesrly that my happiness and appreciation was her priority. I look forward to working with Jennifer at any opportunity I get and she has made me understand the value of working with dedicated and passionate providers.

Cissy Sevelin and the whole Bay Area Legal Services team are a phenomenal group of people. They took our case even though my chips were down, and vigorously litigated for us as if we were millionaires. We were treated with the utmost understanding and kindness, and Cissy and the team are super knowledgeable and know how to produce results. Want to know how I can say this so confidently? Thats simple. Every point Cissy made was concurred with by the judge! The opposing counsel was given no concessions, and Cissy made sure we were protected and our wishes respected. Money cannot buy the type of counsel BALS provided our family. It takes the passion to do whats right and the know-how to get it done. Cissy Sevelin and the team are consummate professionals in this regard. I would highly recommend BALS to anyone needing effective counsel!

Would avoid working with this firm if at all possible. They are extremely slow to respond, completely disregard emails, and show a complete lack of empathy or understanding. If you are not consistently following up, you will be hard pressed to receive any type of response. If you do receive a response, it will be short and often times not even answer your questions. It consistently felt like we had to chase them down for the most simple requests. Go elsewhere if you have the option.

David gave me great legal advice when I was in a jam with a former Broker. He was very informative and gave me really good direction on how to handle things. I will always keep his number if needed in the future. Thanks again!

Would absolutely NOT hire this firm (Bridgette Domingos’s). Breached her contract one week prior to first hearing without notice and after being solicited by another attorney for hire. Lack of communication during entire three month period and after requesting communication, Bridgette herself stated “one week is an average response time” for an attorney. A formal complaint to the Florida Bar has been done as Bridgette has refused to return any monies paid ($10,000.00) stating she “charges that for bond hearings”. ALL THE ABOVE IS IN WRITING (emails and texts). If you want representation throughout your process DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!

My lawyer Stephanie was EXCELLENT to work with. She was informative, concise, and I felt she had my best interest at heart. She is definitely patient (which you kind of have to be to deal with me 😅) and got my documents completed within a very quick time frame. I could not be more pleased and I will definitely be using Stephanie’s legal services again in the future! Thanks, Stephanie and Owenby Law!

In my opinion, Ron is the most experienced and serious criminal trial lawyer in all of Central Florida. He listens well, takes very detailed notes and understands his clients. I highly recommend him for any matter, large or small.

Attorney Tom Deans has helped me several times over the years. He has always stayed on top of my cases and always explained in detail how things would progress. I highly recommend him, his knowledge and expertise are second to none.

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.
