I hired the Fernandez firm about 2 years ago. I spoke with Mr. Fernandez myself. I signed all their paperwork and sent them everything they asked me for. I had some questions during this time, so I spoke with his Legal assistant by phone and email. I asked to speak with Mr. Fernandez on several occasions, to no avail. I also signed a paper saying I could not discuss my case with anyone else. I believe that the statute of limitations is past now, and I’ve still heard nothing. What my husband endured through horrible neglect he has still not recovered from. I’ve spoken with many doctors and nurses that told me this was pure neglect and never should have happened. I’m devastated.

Hiring Mr.Dickstein was one of the best decisions I ever made.
My son was facing a second-degree felony and two misdemeanors, but Mr. Dickstein worked tirelessly with the prosecutor to secure the best possible outcome. He kept us informed at every stage and made sure to explain the legal process in simple, understandable terms. We wouldn't have been able to navigate this challenging time without Mr. Dickstein on our side.

I can’t thank Jonah Dickstein enough for his outstanding work on my case. I was facing false charges of misuse of the 911 or E911 system and resisting an officer without violence, brought against me by an angry officer when I was never arrested. From the beginning, Jonah demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and an impressive knowledge of the law. Rather than wasting time and money in court, he worked to secure a pretrial deferment, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Jonah is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective attorney. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable process and achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Honestly, the best lawyer, I’ve had the experience of working with, & I’ve had quite a few! Very professional always there for you 100%, answers the phone unless he’s in court. Probably should have billed me for a therapist fee because while I was going through my tribulations he was always there for me to talk to, and vent to! Even came by my mom‘s house to meet my family and just check on me face-to-face, Not only is he a great lawyer he’s a great person with a great heart, Rare nowadays to find a lawyer with such passion about what he does and for his clients! Recommend 10 out of 10! Best lawyer in the state of Florida my personal opinion! Forever will feel indebted to him for helping me and seeing me through my court case. Thank you so much Jona!

David is an awesome attorney! He recently represented me in my divorce. Throughout this difficult process for me, he was very understanding, always positive and encouraging. His strong military knowledge and knowledge of the legal process helped me to trust him and to trust the process. The professionalism and the calm demeanor that he displayed helped me to remain patient and confident. I would absolutely recommend the Caveda Law Firm.

Do not look anywhere else! If you need a divorce attorney, Ms. Palma is all you need! She represented me in a nasty divorce that went all the way to court. It was a non stop battle with my ex and I am soooooo thankful I had Ms. Palma. She knew exactly what to do when things came up.
If you need an attorney that is organized, knowledgeable, caring, responsive and knows what they are doing?! I highly recommend, hiring Ms. Palma.

I had a 10/10 experience with this law firm.
David Shobe:
I will forever be grateful for your representation. You were always kind, professional, and never wasted time; you always spoke with relevance in support of my case. The fact that you were affected in your personal life from a devastating hurricane, yet didn’t let this hinder you from providing me a spectacular representation at my hearing just a week after this catastrophic hurricane is incredible. David, you are a great man who deserves all the merit. Thank you for a great outcome, on behalf of myself and my son.
The firm: I am grateful for how easy to work with you all were from start to finish. Originally, I had my consultation with Jason. Despite Jason having a conflicting hearing date thus being unable to represent me, he still offered a helpful consultation and referred me to a phenomenal attorney, David Shobe from the same law group. Thank you.

It has been a few years since I was represented by Jeana Vogel in a custody dispute, I recently had the opportunity to refer her to a friend. That is when I realized that I had not provided a review of her performance. Her attention to detail and ability to set expectations was what impressed me. I have heard horror stories from people about not having a clue what was coming. I never had that feeling due to her clarity and ability to explain the process. She provided options while explaining the probability of their success. It is very easy to feel alone in any court proceeding especially in Family Court. I never once felt that I was alone or that I did not have the best advocate for my case. Thank you Jeana for everything!!

The good news is that after six years of going back and forth litigating in two different states and having four attorneys, my daughter is with me now. All of my gratitude goes to God, Traci, Kari, and their legal team. She is the only custodial attorney I will ever recommend to someone. As a mother having zero idea as to how my daughter’s well-being has been, Traci and her associate, Kari, have been able to demonstrate authentic humanity and empathy towards my situation, whilst maintaining a non-negotiable fierce demeanor and laser sharp focus in the courtroom. I strongly believe that Traci is an angel that is beyond equipped with her God-given litigatory weapons and determination. In your most devastating and crucial moments, she is there working so, so hard for you. She has brought humanity into the courtroom but is vicious in debate, which is what makes her the perfect attorney.

I worked with Traci on establishing paternity and requesting 100% physical custody of my 3 year old daughter. Her mother has been battling severe mental illness and is not capable of parenting at the moment. Traci was incredible to work with. Top notch communication, always responded quickly to any questions I had. Worked with Tara as well during the final hearing and Tara was well prepared and knew all of the facts like the back of her hand. I would 100% recommend Traci Koster and her team. I couldn't envision the process having gone any better. Don't mess around with something so important. Call Koster Legal and you won't be disappointed.

I am so glad I chose Traci and her team to represent me. Table stakes in a divorce is competency in the law. The difference maker for me is Traci's approach -- she is calm, she is fair, and she brings those qualities and approach to all parties in the process -- me, opposing counsel and by proxy, my ex. The impact of that to the journey was huge. Traci and her team calmly guided me through the most disruptive event in my life. Grateful.

When you hire Anthony Rickman (and his firm)you feel like you're being represented by a good friend and that you're not just a client. I did not have representation initially not realizing my legal situation needed an attorney and not only an attorney a good one. Once I hired Anthony the slow legal process I was stuck in without his help, then moved swiftly and smoothly. The results he got on my charges were greater than expected. He made what seemed impossible, possible. Do yourself and your pocketbook a favor and call Anthony first. If you have spoken to other attorneys and still need representation, then call him next.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have Anton and Garcia represent me in my divorce. From start to finish, Christina, Ashley, and Brook were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail were truly outstanding. They communicated clearly and promptly, ensuring I always felt informed and supported throughout the process. Their hard work and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Anton and Garcia to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation during a divorce.

Although I did not have custody requirements my divorce was complicated and abusive. I was on the verge of obtaining my US citizenship, I was not permitted to reside at any of our properties (Resulting in me needing to move six times in 2023), We had several properties to liquidate in two countries (multiple provinces/states), There was domestic violence during the marriage and plenty of post separation abuse and abuse of everyone involved in the case, including realtors insurance companies, utility companies etc. Christina assigned my case to Jonathan Bodden (although she did maintain an oversight role) And they both definitely had to think outside the box in order to get all of this resolved while at the same time protecting my Citizenship process and personal safety. And as though things weren’t complicated enough, the governor reduced alimony requirements halfway through the case. Jonathan navigated these issues within a very broken system as best as he possibly could. They were both intensely concerned about my safety (At times it felt like they were the only ones) and all their recommendations made this a priority. Jonathan was always supremely professional in the face of extremely frustrating circumstances.
If you have a difficult or complicated divorce, I would highly recommend Anton Garcia Law To represent you. It still won’t be easy and they can’t make it all go away, but they are committed to representing and protecting their clients even in the worst circumstances.

I do not know where to begin. From day 1 upon reaching out to The Fernandez Law Group, and throughout my 8 months of interaction with their team (weekly, sometimes daily), they have exceeded my expectations at every hurdle. Their proactive responsiveness as we maneuvered the judicial system was nothing less than excellent. Their ability to multi-task and over communicate was impressive to observe. Attorney Quisenberry and his Paralegal Caitlin are an incredibly synchronized team that never once dropped a ball. Beyond all the legal paperwork, what stood out to me, was how they listened. It was evident from start to finish how much they truly cared to ensure justice was served. Look no further if you need a professional, hardworking, dedicated Defense Team...it's The Fernandez Law Group.

Typically when going through a divorce, trust is damaged and stress levels are very high. If you are searching for your divorce/family advocate, Ellie is a fantastic choice.
Ellie proved her trustworthyness and always reduced my stress by responding quickly and efficiently. Ellie truly is the full package, she is knowledgable on case law, focused on your case, she is direct and very efficient with her time.
She held my hand through the the Dissolution Of Marriage and was successful in post judgement matters. I was able to connect with Ellie when I needed to, she is extremely professional and well-respected. She is direct and focused on your case.
I knew immediately I wanted Ellie representing my children and I. If you are searching for a lawyer during stressful family matters, Ellie is the advocate you want by your side. I'm very impressed with her overall ability to succeed and you will be too. She truly is a rising star!

I have hired Ms. Ellie Probasco several times over the past three years to review documents, provide legal advice in family law, and to help me prepare for my divorce. She is honest, fair, and extremely knowledgeable regarding Florida family law. My wife and I had a lot at stake; Ms. Probasco provided me with sound legal advice that was critical to a successful case outcome. I can recommend her highly. [I was introduced to Ms. Probasco via a referral from a family friend who is also an attorney, but not in family law.]

This is truly a review from my heart and experience with this amazing human being.
My case was very specific, (I guess all are), but i didn’t have a lot of funds to spend on litigation, my heart had been broken and my son has special needs… As my lawyer, she and her team guided me and my family through a difficult divorce with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to finding solutions that worked for everyone. Her calm and knowledgeable demeanor helped me navigate even the toughest conversations, and her creative approach ensured that we achieved most of our goals. Britney truly listened to my needs and concerns, and her extensive knowledge of family law helped me avoid costly and stressful litigation. She went above and beyond on everything, she put her heart into helping me and I’ll be forever thankful. Thanks to her skillful mediation, we were able to reach a fair and mutually beneficial agreement that has allowed us to move forward with confidence and peace of mind. If you're facing a divorce or family conflict, do yourself a favor and work with Britney - you won't regret it!

My wife and I had a horrible experience using this law firm to prepare legal documents for us prior to our marriage. Their drafts are extremely sloppy with inaccurate data and misspellings all over the place. They likely offshore the preparation work because honestly who would misspell "Home Depot" or the name "Michael" multiple times in a legal document (and where is the review by a paralegal???). The most ridiculous part is they charge the clients for revisions to these careless mistakes. Sorry, but why are WE paying for YOUR mistakes??!?!?
After our legal documents were finalized we had to chase them around to get a refund of the retainer. Again they charged us for the time it took for them to email us back (again why are WE paying for YOUR internal issues?). FINALLY after 3 months of the documents being finalized we got the final refund and we are at the point where we don't even want to bother arguing with them over the frivolous charges.
We don't mind paying for high quality service, but their lack of quality and difficultly to deal with doesn't justify any price. STAY AWAY and watch your invoices because they will ROB you blind.
Questionable business practices and lawyers.

First of all, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Hunter. After extensive research and considering many options, I ultimately chose her, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. No one ever knows what to expect in situations like this, and my emotions were running high, as I’m sure anyone reading this review can relate to.
Mrs. Hunter tailors her approach to fit each unique situation. I initially thought I needed a super aggressive attorney, but I quickly realized that Mrs. Hunter's well-established relationships with other attorneys in the Tampa Bay Area made all the difference. Let’s face it, divorce is incredibly challenging, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable when you have a skilled attorney who keeps you out of court, helps you stay levelheaded, and is mindful of your finances.
I have come to believe that Mrs. Hunter has been in this field long enough to prioritize her clients’ best interests over simply making money. She genuinely cares about her clients and focuses on achieving the best financial and logical outcomes. In my experience, she values great word-of-mouth referrals over the “smash and grab” approach that many other attorneys adopt.
Hands down, I give Mrs. Hunter and her top-notch staff and partnered attorneys five stars all the way

I contacted Seth for support regarding a Family Law matter. He was immediately responsive. Once he looked into the case detail, he realized that it would be in my best interest to get legal support in a different Florida Country for best value. Not only did he recommend this, he interviewed different lawyers for me, and selected who he thought strongest to support the case. No doubt the most personal and professional legal support I have ever gotten, and I have used a lot of legal services in the past 20 years as owner of a multi-national corporation.

Finding the right attorney can be a challenge, especially for a strong personality client (i.e. me). It was very important that I found someone not only extremely capable of dealing with my case but also dealing with me. I needed someone to support me when i was on the right train of thought, or advise me when I wasn't.
Seth and his team were very attentive to me and prompt in moving my case forward. He always gave sound advise and talked me down when necessary.
I could not have picked a better attorney to handle my case. Awesome work and quick resolution!

Teresa is an amazingly gifted attorney with a supreme knowledge of the law that plays out epically in the court room. She knew exactly what to do with my case even after all other attorneys I spoke with said my case was too complicated. Teresa explained everything to me and gave me a play by play as to the possible outcomes. Going into the courtroom I felt confident with her preparation. She is truly anointed in her calling.. Watching her in the courtroom is like watching Grace.
She is thoughtful and honest and has a genuine concern for all parties involved. I truly can't say enough good things about Prescott Legal.

I would like to just give praise to my attorney, Teresa. She has been a life save throughout the roughest time in my life. She has been over prepared at every hearing, every appearance and outdone her self every SINGLE time. She has kept me in the loop of things every step of the way. She has fought for my daughter within the best interest of her. My daughter's father lives in another state and has taken me back to court every year of my daughters life. Teresa and her staff are been nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge of law so in depth and her quick wit in the court room have resulted in letting the truth prevail, every single time. If you are looking for a family law attorney, who does right by her clients, who has not ONCE over charged me for her time and been thorough and honest throughout the entire process, I would highly, highly recommend her!

My experience was with Attorney Maria Perinetti. She had been referred to me by close friends who raved about her when handling their ailing mother's legal issues. Now that i find myself in the same situation, I phoned her for a consult and found her extremely knowledgeable and sensitive to the issues regarding elder care. She has been a kind listener and delivered the right advise for my family in our current situation. I too would refer her to my friends as the right legal help when addressing issues with estate planning and Medicare/Medicaid assistance.

Dealing with issues from ex-spouse for 18 years and had never won a case. Lisa knows the law and has much knowledge concerning case law and found the answer I needed to finally get justice on my behalf. Never mislead me and always answered my requests in a timely manner. The fees that are needed to pay this firm are worth EVERY penny and every word of their commercials and advertisements are TRUE. They will fight for you, but are totally ethical and stand on their word.

had a nasty Divorce I hired one Attorney in St Petersburg who was quick to charge and give poor advise she did not listen to my needs she came reccomended because she had low fees BIG MISTAKE
Went to Mason Black and Caballero yes they bill more per hour ,However the divorce was handled in half the time and we settled for much less than what we would have had to with the chap Attorney .
You can not put a price on the quality of such a firm in the long run you will save thousands and retain your sainty Hire Alex Save the Grief. The price you pay is proportional to what you get for the money so Hire the Best Mason Black and Caballero Divorce is what they do!

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.
Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
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.
