I hired them cause they were all I could afford after my ex walked out with our savings account. They managed to get the job done but they're were condescending, barely communicated, canceled phone meetings if they just didn't feel like answering my questions, didn't keep me appraised of the progress and were rude and nasty and belligerent when I followed up. They seemed to care more about being buddies with my ex's lawyer than representing me fairly and fighting for me. It was a traumatic divorce already made worse by their attitude. If you can afford any other lawyer, do it. Don't use these guys unless you like being abused and are really desperate for your divorce to be finalized (I was).

My journey with Sam Masters began after a car accident that occurred over two years ago. At that time, I had initially intended to handle my dealings with the insurance company on my own. However, as the gravity of my injuries became apparent, I realized I needed legal assistance. My initial choice led me to a large law firm with prominent billboards around town, assuming that their visibility equated to quality service. Unfortunately, I found myself just another faceless client with little access to an attorney.
My attempts to seek clarification on their contract went unanswered, which prompted me to search for an attorney who genuinely cared about my case. After reading numerous reviews, I came across Sam Masters.
When I initially reached out to Sam Masters' office, I was informed that he was away at a conference. However, to my surprise, he personally returned my call within a few hours, taking the time to discuss my case for over 30 minutes. A few days later, during our in-person meeting, he patiently answered all my questions and concerns, assuring me of his continued availability for any future inquiries.
Over the course of two years, Sam Masters and his paralegal, Kerri, consistently lived up to their promise of accessibility. They were responsive and kept me informed about the progress of my case.
Working with Sam Masters was a pleasure. He secured a settlement that far exceeded my initial expectations, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Sam Masters genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and the success of their cases.
If you are in need of a personal injury attorney in Volusia County, Sam Masters is undoubtedly the best choice.

My husband and I needed to add our home in Florida to our Trust. I spoke with Stefanie a couple of times and really felt comfortable with her knowledge and excellent communication skills. She is an incredible ambassador for the office. she went above and beyond with her communication and kept us informed every step of the way. Brian was great as well. He created the deeds in a timely manner and was very forthcoming with information to make sure we understand the task at hand. Both of these lovely people are kind, considerate and excellent at their jobs. We feel very fortunate to have found them and will use their talents for any future endeavors. I suggest you give their office a call if ever you need legal assistance. We recommend Tippen Law Firm highly.

The Tippen Law Firm provided value-added service in closing out my recently deceased sister's estate. In a very compassionate, empathetic and patient manner, the Tippens advised and led me step by step through the processes of Trust Administration and Probate for the estate. They consistently demonstrated the highest level of expertise in estate law, and were instrumental to achieve the best possible outcomes in a very efficient and cost effective manner. I would give them SIX stars if I could, and would give them the highest recommendation to anyone needing legal expertise and assistance in their practice areas.

My brother was in jail on a violation of probation and had been sitting with no release in sight.. i called lisa on a Thursday afternoon and explained to her what exactly happened and what i needed… his court date was the next Tuesday so 5 days away and she handled everything before the court date and he came home with the best possible outcome… she is absolutely amazing and if you go with anyone else your making a mistake…. I will refer her to anyone that needs help and wants someone honest who is on your side… cannot thank her enough… she turned and ugly situation upside down..

Lisa did everything to save me. I had so many tickets all the other lawyers told me i had to go to jail. Even the one i hired before Lisa didn’t show up at the court.

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 will be forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. One of the best law firm in Broward county why not the whole state. If there is more than 5 stars they deserve that. The whole team believes in fairness and second chances.
Once again, thank you for being here for me, and my family. Merry Christmas to you guys and your families.

Fantastic experience with Mr. Robert Malove. My husband called his office after what I thought was a minor traffic incident, which was quickly turning into something much worse.

He is very responsive and kept us abreast of the ongoings. We now have closure and the outcome we sought. We highly recommend him without hesitation.

The worst Atterney I could have ever chosen in my life. He left on vacation when my hearing was set. Then sent someone that didn’t have a clue hat was going on with my case. Worst mistake of my life as far as picking an Atterney. Huge mistake. He left when I needed him and paid him for. Then never answered. Huge mistake choosing Manny a Perez. Huge mistake. I happen to be one of those people that have been convicted of something g I did not do because I chose the wrong Atterney. At the end Manny told me I could just switch to another Atterney if I want after he took my money. Horrible experience. Don’t hire this guy. Hey tried to pursue me for additional money after he didn’t show up at my hearing. Horrible experience. I totally made a huge mistake by hiring Many Perez. The worst thing is that my mistake will now follow me for the rest of my life, from something that I am innocent of. He had no interest in my case at all. He left on vacation and ignored me while I stood in court alone. But charged me for that. Again. Huge mistake.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Emmanuel Perez and cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication. From the initial consultation to the final verdict, Mr. Perez provided exceptional legal counsel and support.
His deep understanding of the law, combined with their strategic thinking, made a significant difference in the outcome of the case. Emmanuel Perez was always available to answer questions, explain the legal process, and offer reassurance during a very stressful time.
Thanks to Emmanuel Perez's hard work and expertise, a favorable outcome was achieved. I highly recommend attorney Emmanuel Perez to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated defense attorney.

Then when the final judgement was issued she conviently let the 10 days for an appeal laps. She was the worse took our $1500 and ran.

I met Mr. Bruno back in February when I was arrested for a Domestic Violence, I called Mr Bruno and explained my situation. That same they he asked me to come by the office. I went to his office and he met me right away. We spent over an hour talking and unlike other attorneys, he was not worry about the time. Fast forward, Mr Bruno not only did he cleared me of all criminal charges, he also cleared me of a civil charge. I was blessed to have met Mr Bruno. I can sincerely say that Mr Bruno is the attorney you want representing you in court. One last thing, you can text him even on the weekends and he will always reply back to you. He is very profesional, caring, and he won’t break your bank. I recommend Mr Bruno 100%!!

I don’t write many reviews, but when I do, I have reason to. I’ll first start by saying I’ve never met a lawyer so honestly forthcoming with information. I first retained him to represent my boyfriend back in 2005. He did as he said he would. The 2nd time, was for a relative. He would not take my money or let me retain him. He was straight forward and told me an attorney was unnecessary. I was a bit nervous, but he was 100% accurate. The 3rd time, was for myself. He had the bogus charges dropped, as promised. The last time I hired him was for a friend just a few months ago. Once again, he did as promised. Randy is an amazing criminal attorney. Those of you that gave him 1 star, shame on you! I’m sure there’s more to the story. He is the only attorney I’ll ever hire, though I’m hoping I won’t need his remarkable services a 5th time. Randy, Amanda, and everyone else in his practice, thank you for all that you do! You are incredible and it does not go unnoticed!

My wife Cynthia and Me were frightened and devastated when our brokerage firm after having lost 1.5 million dollars of our retirement savings over the course of a year and a half phoned to say we should liquid our portfolio.
Fortuitously, we googled " The Best Stock Broker Negligence Lawyer in Florida." JEFF EREZ'S name appeared at the top of a list of attorneys. While at dinner I sent an email to Jeff Erez. Within seconds he responded.
I am a retired personal injury litigation attorney with more than 45 years of experience. I knew within 15 minutes of our conversation that Jeff was an extraordinary and highly skilled litigator. His analysis and legal advice was cogent, concise and as it turned out legally correct. Within days my wife and me met Jeff and his team. We retained his firm to pursue our case.
Our pleadings, discovery, and motions to compel evidence were emailed to me. They were works of legal excellence. Jeff also emailed copies of responses. It was obvious to me Jeff's talent, skill, work ethic and experience were vastly superior to the defense team's work product.
Predictably within less than a year our case settled at mediation
for a significant amount of money. Without reservation or qualification I recommend Jeff Erez and his team to any person who has suffered financial losses from unsuitable decisions made by their money manager or broker.
My wife and me after having been victimized are restored to retirement security. Many thanks and appreciation to Jeff Erez and his team.

When two people just can’t work it out, sadly divorce is sometimes necessary. It is imperative that you find someone who will look out for your best interest and also help you navigate the whole process. I contacted Jennifer Harrington in Sept 2021 to start the divorce process. My ex-husband and I had been married for 11 years and have 2 young children. We also had a large house, land and assets that needed to be dealt with. Divorce is one of the most devastating things to go through. Jennifer was so understanding of what I was feeling and helped me sort it all out even when emotions were high for me. I stated the things that were the most important to me and she made sure to make my wishes heard and did an amazing job getting me everything I was seeking. If I ever had a question or a concern she was super prompt about getting back to me either via email or a personal phone call or text. We had to wait until our home and property sold before we could finalize the divorce but on March 1, 2022 we did sign off on everything. Jennifer made a really difficult time in my life manageable and she was definitely my back bone and strength throughout the entire process. If I had to do it all over again (thank goodness I don’t!) I would hire Jennifer again in an instant and I highly recommend her to anyone about to start their divorce.

I am honored to know, work with, and have had Mr. Spann representing my family.
Steven Spann is a miracle worker and a promise keeper. I begun my journey in Miami-Dade county family court having little faith or hope in prior representation or the outcome of my case and finishing my journey eternally grateful to have met Mr. Spann and getting every single (reasonable) outcome I prayed for. If you’re looking for superman, you have found him! If you’re looking for someone with clout, and well earned popularity this is your man! If you’re looking for a humble winner that will radically transform yours and your child’s(children’s) lives with grace and humility. This is him. Mr. Spann transformed my daughter and I’s futures and did what previous attorneys would have said was impossible. Not only is he a phenomenal lawyer he is an impeccable human. I can assure you hiring Orshan law group, (Mr. Spann), you and your family are safe! Safe to take a backseat and let him steer! Hiring Mr. Spann was the best decision I made in my case and the only thing I would change, would be to hire him earlier. I highly recommend him to you and anyone I’ve met in need of a family law attorney. You are/will be in great hands!

I used Fausto for two real-estate investments properties, commercial lease negations and assistance with current commercial landlords for my businesses. Fausto has always been able to achieve the desired result with everything I have given him. One of my investment properties in Miami had a lien on it that was very difficult to find and became a lengthy issue and is a long story, but he won my business off of resolving that issue.
I have delt with several attorneys and Fausto is by far the best I have ever worked within any industry. I know I am always in good hands when I hand off issues to him and his team.
There is no need to look elsewhere Fausto will get the job done for you.

Consequently, I highly recommend him both professionally and personally as someone you should seriously consider when looking for legal representation in his areas of expertise.

Over the past several years, I have referred multiple clients to Sam and have always received positive feedback. So, unfortunately, when the time came to retain counsel for my own divorce, I picked Sam to represent me. I was extremely satisfied with his representation of me and would recommend him without reservation to anyone in need of a divorce attorney.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.
