Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one.
We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution).
He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing.
Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

I’ll be honest, I’m not one to leave a review on anything but I had to on this one. I give respect for when it’s due. So here we go. Rohom did a great Job with my DUI case. He responds in a timely fashioned manner when questions are needed to be answered. His cost as an attorney is Fair and affordable(he is not like others that sees you as a money sign). He is for the People! Appreciate him and his team. I would definitely Recommend him to anyone that is in trouble with DUI cases. Thanks again Rohom !

I walked into Randall Haas's office with two pending charges in two different counties and within a month both cases had been dropped. I cannot begin to express how helpful he and his staff were in resolving these issues for me. They were very pleasant to work with and extremely kind.
I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!

DeeDee Scheller was AMAZING! She was always there for me for both the criminal and civil suite. I was a complete mess there were so many times I never thought I would make it through this. She was always encouraging and even allowed me to have her cell number to call when I needed. She went above and beyond to make me feel like I was prepared for everything and was extremely compassionate. I’m so grateful I had her as an advocate as well as the whole team of lawyers, paralegals and secretaries.

Kevin Quirk is by far the BEST attorney in Gainesville. He has been helped me with several charges. Many of which he got sealed, dropped, and reduced for me. It’s obvious he has a great relationship with the Gainesville court. Years later, he has still been a phone call away from giving me advice on my future endeavors. When you speak to him, it’s almost as if you’ve known him for decades. He’s kind, trustworthy, and looks after you!
Kevin, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

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 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 am so grateful to the team at Aronfeld Trial Lawyers. Throughout the duration of my case, I felt validated and cared for. The team took time to answer any questions and concerns I had and I always felt like my best interest was the priority of whoever I was working with. It was easy to get in touch with the office and I was kept informed throughout the entire process. I knew I was in great hands every step of the way and am so thankful I had such a great team in my corner. While I hope I don’t need a lawyer again any time soon I would go back to Aronfeld Trial Lawyers in a heartbeat and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

Robert Sparks Attorneys are getting 5 stars because i can't give them 6. The professionalism of staff, the promptness of responses to questions, and the overall guidance through the process after my accident was astounding. Rob and Garrett were absolutely AMAZING. They did everything in their power to insure I received the maximum settlement after my motorcycle accident. They are compassionate and caring firm and would recommend them to anyone who needs them.

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.

Personally I had bad experience with this firm , initially I contacted the is firm because we need to resolve an issue with something we purchased and we got scammed for more than 5k with a company in Miami , this firm ask for every detail in this case and they took it but after 3 months I was trying to contact them and the person in charge of my case was no longer available and they didn’t tell us anything like an update or anything so I had to call Them and also write many messages via Instagram and after 3 weeks they finally responded just saying that they not gonna take my case without mentioning anything

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.

My name is James Cate and I hired James Barnes on advice from my business so who had excellent results. I was charged with 2 felonies and originally was assigned to a public defender. After 2 months of nothing but terror and stress, I hired Mr Barnes and am extremely glad I did.
I was facing 7 years in prison but Mr Barnes achieved an amazing outcome for me in court. Mr Barnes is a spot on attorney and I would absolutely recommend him to everyone in need of the best representation available in the Pensacola, Pace and Milton area.

Mr.Barnes has represented me now on 2 cases and the experience hasn’t changed one bit. The techniques, the experience and the general confidence that he exudes lets you know you picked the right person. Jim has showed me nothing but courtesy and respect and has granted me the results to confidently say I don’t think there is anyone better in Pensacola let alone the state of Florida like him. Unique guy and very charismatic. He was born to be a life saver! This the man!

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.

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.

I could not speak any better of this law firm. My case was assigned to Chris Jones, with Logan Doll as second chair. From to start to finish, these gentleman were so very comforting. I do not regret any dollar paid, they did their job as if they were fighting for themselves.
My case was an interesting one against the state. Mr. Jones was on top of every detail from the beginning; he would even take the time to call my witnesses. Prior to trial a meeting was set up because Mr. Jones knew I had never been to court and wanted to prep me to his best ability.
In the court room, Mr. Jones and Mr. Doll were unreal. They kept me calm and explained everything going on to the best of their ability. Mr. Jones fought in that court room as if he was fighting for himself. He even had the jury loving him. Once my trial was won, I was congratulated by Mr. Jones, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Doll. Just an all around great team that stands by you, makes you laugh through the hard times, and fights for you and what is right. I could not recommend them more!

They work hard. Mr. Doll, Esq. Is a good man, I trust him and his team.
UPDATED.
The above review was done just a few days before my trial. I wanted to make sure I'd get the chance to post a review that reflected my positive experience with this Law firm. The problem, at the time, was that my stress level was through the roof as this trial had the potential of life in prison for me. Being over 60, you don't need much of a sentence to realize this could be the rest of my life.
Now that the trail is over I have so much more I want to share about this firm:
Immediately after being arrested, Logan Doll got involved and after 23 days of waiting for my bond hearing, he was able to negotiate a reduced bail with house arrest pending trial.
False charges can be devastating and complicated. You cannot prove a negative but this team at Edwards & Jones took the time and consideration to plow through, absorb, and become familiar with the people, personalities, and evidence for a full year. Including issuing subpoenas for depositions and speaking with every single person involved. Mr. Logan and his paralegals sifted through every photo, and scrap of paper we gave them, and gave sincere attention and consideration to our commentary and firsthand insite responses to deposition transcripts that we reviewed. Sometimes when you are deep in the middle of something like this, it's hard to make sense of anything. Logan, however, was able to pull together everything from us and the prosecution, and by trial I'd say they knew more about our lives and family than we did.
At trial, Chris Jones took second chair and I felt that they were on top of things. Their confidence did a lot to keep my stress manageable. The way that they conducted themselves in direct and cross examination was professional, and kind, and intense where needed. The second day of trial Tom Edwards also attended and I felt honored to have the whole team by my side.
They didn't “get me off", they fought hard; challenging the lies and bringing out truths, giving the court and jury what they needed to bring a full acquittal.
Kind and compassionate, wise and strategic. In the end my highest praise is to consider them friends.

Will use them again if I ever have. Thank you so much, I got a new roof and now I can sleep peacefully when it's raining.

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.

Charles WIllmott is not what you may hear. Mr. Willmott will bill you unnecessarily and he will not show up to hearings. There are many better attorneys out there. Avoid Mr. Willmott.

Mr. Willmott gave me extensive knowledge and support in my child custody case. I had changed attorneys a few times over the last several years, trying to find peace, protection and support for enforcement of a court order. Distance has proved to bring more peace than not, and Mr. Willmott has fought hard to ensure my relationship with my son will always be a healthy one despite continuous, manipulative tactics from opposing party. I highly recommend Mr. Willmott to ensure your child/children maintain a healthy relationship with you.

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!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.
How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:
- Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
- Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
- Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.
Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
