I wanted to take the time in this 2025 year about my past experience with Albert Quirantes. From the beginning attorney Quirantes will listen and best help you understand the situation you are encountering.
Attorney Quirantes has a great team of paralegals and they stay on top of your case. This is a hard working attorney who tries to find any possible way of getting to the resolution and I am glad to be able to write a positive review because it is very well earned.
For those who are skeptical about this attorney, do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Quirantes has empathy, appreciation and respect for all that walk in to his office that seek help no matter your circumstances. This attorney is very respectful and actually charges a reasonable price for the effort he puts in to handle your case without breaking your wallet, which I find as a way he tries to give back in helping those who are not rich and do not have deep pockets. I appreciate the help he tries to give to those who work hard for pennies in hourly low wage jobs.
Attorney Quirantes has earned a positive review from me.

I am incredibly impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of Danriah Welch . From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. She consistently demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, ensuring that all documents were meticulously prepared, and deadlines were met without fail.
Danriah has a remarkable ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. Her communication skills are top-notch, always keeping me informed about the status of my case and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had.
What truly sets Danriah apart is her dedication to client satisfaction. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of her work.
I highly recommend Danriah Welch to anyone in need of a reliable and highly competent law office manager. She truly had a significant positive impact on my experience with the law firm.

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.

Ken Kaplan has once again saved me from a financial disaster. I was on the verge of having to pay a significant amount in child support that the courts had not cleared in the Central Depository. Ken worked diligently on my behalf to resolve this issue in my favor. I am convinced that Ken is not justgood but can compete with the best in the field. If the odds are against you, Ken is the attorney you want to represent you.

I highly recommend Ken and Alicia to anyone in need of legal assistance for divorce. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to provide exceptional service!

I hired Kenneth Kaplan to help with me with a very complicated divorce case. A number of attorneys preceded him and were unable to make any forward progress: in fact, a couple of them only served to make things worse. He reviewed over 1000 pages of case files and quickly had a thorough understanding of the issues. The case involved custody of a minor child and a number of financial matters. I found Mr. Kaplan to be a consummate professional who not only took pride in his work but also cared about the outcome of the proceedings. He was easy to get hold of and always returned my phone calls promptly. His advice and court action were always based in fact and tempered by financial practicalities. His advice created appropriate expectations and oftentimes served to dampen down my desire to move forward in a manner based more on my emotions than on my intellect. In the end, I avoided useless court time and unnecessary fees. The results he obtained for me on every level have been wonderful, a real blessing. I can recommend him without qualification to anyone who needs assistance with divorce. You will not find anyone better.

It’s important which attorney you pick, because even their name could make a difference. In my case, I did not get any formal charges filed at the arraignment, and case was dismissed.
He had a great legal strategy and did a great job. His legal staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. But I truly believe the mere fact that I had him as an attorney was the deciding factor in dropping my charges, why bother moving when you know you have a hard hitter working with you?

Chad Piotrowski - Courtroom Jedi Master Searching for a good attorney is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finding one as capable and ambitious as Chad Piotrowski is like finding a unicorn. He's represented me excellently several times in criminal court. Somehow he managed to get 2 failure to appear warrants dismissed without me even having to appear... The times that I have been present to see him in action have shown me that he's more than merely a great lawyer. Bending prosecutors to his will is impressive... But bending gavels with his mind, he's more like a Courtroom Jedi Master. If you're a defendant in criminal court, the odds are against you. Let Chad be the secret weapon that tips the scales of justice in your favor.

Ron was dedicated to my ex-husband's violent crime case. He was looking at 38 years in federal prison but because of all the work that went into researching PTSD and how it affected my ex-husband the father of my children received 5 years of prison and will hopefully be home in 3 years. Words cannot expressed the gratitude that my children and family feel for the work that was done to defend him. Ron was professional, passionate, very knowledgeable and dedicated to this case and saw my ex-husband as a person and not just a paying client that he was billing. He knew all the laws and was well prepared for his court appearances. Ron kept the whole family informed on any updates regarding the case or court dates. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our requests were met even if they were not directly related to the case. I would recommend his services to anyone I know as you will get more than just a good lawyer you will get someone who will fight for you and get you the best results than you can ever wish for.

She explained every step of the process, patiently and always kept me updated with the status of my case. I knew the entire staff at Hertz Segar was on my side and the outcome was more than positive.
The patience, professionalism, dedication, and efficiency at Hertz Segar made all the difference and my children and I can't thank them enough!
For family law, Hertz Segar is the best!

I attained Brittney Blumengold for several legal issues in the past decade regarding family matters, relationship tribulations, and separation trepidations. In every single case she has brought me clarity, justice, and results. Mrs. Blumengold is well-versed on family law, and she knows all the intricacies of the court system. She personally replies to emails in a timely manner and answers phone calls, which is so hard to find in this day and age. Mrs. Blumengold always made time to remedy all my questions and concerns, kept me updated on my case, and walked me through all the proceedings. Unlike many lawyers, who just work for the profits, she makes sure humanity is not removed from the equation. If you’re shopping for an experienced family attorney, then this is who you should be contacting. The legal market is flooded with many new attorneys, but that inexperience will hurt clients who deserve quality help. In the words of the late Sailor Jerry, “Good work ain't cheap, cheap work ain't good.”

Our family hired Grant to save the bacon of our loved one who (sometimes) makes bad decisions. Grant made himself available to us immediately with open and constant communication. No question was left unanswered, he guided us through the entire process, informed us of options and gave professional opinion on how to proceed in a very complex and difficult situation.
Most criminal defense attorney's don't offer such a caring and interested attitude. Grant is the exception to the norm, he cares about the family's concerns and needs, as well as his client. He achieved a result that absolutely served our loved one well. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My child is OUT OF JAIL because of this lawyer. He had been arrested and held with No Bond and the charges were scary and involved a gun and a robbery and the prosecutor was talking about sentences of 25 years in prison. The other lawyer we hired barely even visited our son and said the jail was far away. We lost a lot of money on him.
When we hired Mr. Dwyer, he visited Carlos the same day. He explained to us the process and made it clear to understand. He found the problems in the case and before we knew it the prosecutor was announcing a dismissal and are son is HOME.

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.
