John and his team are the absolute best! John is highly effective at communicating and providing results. I suffered a car accident while pregnant with my small children in the car, to say that I was frightened and worried would be an understatement. I was able to focus on my health and healing because John handled all of the legal matters. He truly cares about his clients. I switched from a “big name billboard law firm” to John Andreopoulos and I wish I would have chosen John Andreopoulos from the beginning. I was not just a number to Andreopoulos Law, I was a client that was cared for and respected. I am so grateful for John’s knowledge and hard work. This man is here to get you the justice you deserve!

My experience with David was nothing short of outstanding. During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging and stressful times of my life, David proved to be an invaluable support. His genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. David's professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress throughout this entire process. He handled my felony case professionally in the quickest time possible considering it was during the holiday season. David made this stressful process much more bearable.
Exceptional service, exceptional results.

I met eric over a txt message spoke to him about 3 or 4 times concerning a major issue I was dealing with progressive he was very busy but also very attentive and concerned about everything that was happening! It took Eric at least 3/4 weeks to get everything resolved for me and for me that was a very fast especially with him coming into this situation blind folded! I am grateful that I got to experience his abilities as an amazing lawyer to get this done. There is no doubt about it my mind that I wouldn’t reach back out to him if needed to do so.

I met Eric through a friend, he spoke very highly of Eric, and guess what everything he said was 100% true cause I ended up hiring him. He is a very experienced powerful attorney who's power shows through his work. I used Eric 3 times, and all 3 outcomes were 100% successful. What I really appreciate about Eric is the fact that you don't have to go through any assistance to get to him he is completely direct no matter the time he always finds a way to get to you lol I used to ask myself if he ever get a full 8 hours of sleep. I'm so grateful to Eric cause if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be rejoicing right now and you know what's more important he is a man of his word who treats his clients with so much respect and kindness. I would highly recommend Eric based on my experience with him and the fact that he represents you with his heart, and does not make you feel like your are being judged. To Eric Voltz may you never let money get to your head please continue being you, may God bless you, and everything you touch abundantly. You are an attorney at heart and it shows through your work!

After years of dealing with a difficult cluster-b FH, at least 3 attorneys and 2 other consultations, Pattie Parker efficiently and purposefully managed my case with compassion, intelligence, and resolution. She and her entire office are as well respected in the courtroom as they are attentive in the office. Astute with advice, case law and trial processes- she confidently did what I didn’t think was possible, with honesty and strength.
Above all else, she listened, she strategized and she succeeded.

Brandon and his team are literally THE BEST. I worked with two cheap attorneys before I found Brandon and I got exactly what I paid for which was representation that didn’t care, didn’t put the time in and didn’t fight for me.
Brandon‘s previous experience as a police officer and private detective were very helpful in uncovering all of the hidden assets in my case.
Brandon always worked to try to get my ex and I to settle outside of court rather than rack up more fees and unnecessary cost. That really stood out to me.
Every hearing that I had with Brandon on my side, I felt safe, I felt like he was fighting for me, and I felt like he actually cared. His team was absolutely a pleasure to work with even through the gruesome things such as gathering financial affidavit, and a ridiculous amount of documents requested by opposing counsel.
I could not have been happier with the service I was given in my extremely difficult case. I worked with Brandon for almost an entire year and he never got lazy. He never slacked off. He always gave 100%.
Thanks Brandon and team!!!

Donna Hung absolutely saved my life as a father. There is no attorney in central Florida that can think on their feet, and actually make things happen, the way Donna does. I truthfully believe from the bottom of my heart that she is the best there is, and I would recommend her to anyone that actually wants the best outcome.
Any past complaints on pricing, or whatever…. You honestly get what you pay for.
Thank you, to Donna and your team. You guys are absolute rockstars.

Attorney Lucas and his Legal Assistant Jessica were terrific. We unfortunately had to use their services for an eviction, however, if I or anyone else in the Sarasota/Bradenton area needs a professional who will work with you in a prompt, professional and personable manner, Attorney Lucas and his team are the ones to chose.
For me the biggest reason behind the 5 star rating is the fact that Attorney Lucas treats you like a customer, not an inconvenience. Communication was always timely and he made myself and my wife feel assured throughout the process.
Thank you and keep up the great work!

I recently had the opportunity to refer a client to Anthony G. Ryan, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outstanding legal representation provided. As a fellow attorney in the community, I know the importance of recommending competent and dedicated professionals, and Anthony G. Ryan exceeded all expectations.
Anthony's expertise in both criminal law and local procedural intricacies is impressive. He approached the case with honesty, ensuring clear and easy communication with the referred client. Anthony's commitment to fair and transparent pricing further underscored his professionalism.
I wholeheartedly endorse the law firm of Anthony G. Ryan to anyone in need of a criminal attorney in Sarasota. Anthony's knowledge, honesty, and fair pricing make his services stand out in the legal community.

Worse experience with an attorney. Communication is horrible, front office staff is rude and false promises made throughout the entire process.
My personal opinion would be to save your money and get a public defender. The only thing this man did that helpful was show up to court when we had work.
Last day of court a man incarcerated was last standing and Randall was not present as he was in a different court however, did not communicate this to anyone else either that he was representing this day.
For the price charged it is definitely not worth the money to hire. Save your money for the fees and fines you will more than likely have to pay in the end anyways.
If I could give no stars I gladly would

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.

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.

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.

Other attorneys described worse case scenarios before best and scared me off. Douglas Greenberg was honest in his assessment but very confident in his ability to handle my case. He always communicated with me when it was needed and didn't leave me in the dark. When we went to court the results were exactly as Douglas said they would be. I know things don't always work out the way you want them to but Douglas got it done and i am happy to have hired him

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.

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.

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.

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. -

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).

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.
-
