Atty. MK Campbell represented me on Charges of a DWI, DWLS, Poss of Cocaine, Poss of Controlled Substance and Poss of Paraphernalia. Also, 2 felony violations of probation.
I feel SO absolutely GRATEFUL to MK! From day one, she was straightforward and transparent with me. She explained thoroughly ,everything I needed to know in regards to my case and it's options to resolve. I feel as though MK genuinely cared about me doing what was very best for me and my life. She got me the results I was looking for..which ended up being, 210 days time served -no probation!! Phenomenal work!
I'm so thankful to have had Atty MK Campbell to represent me! She's definitely has earned my 5 star rating- I'd hire her again any day!

I am profoundly grateful for the outstanding legal representation I received from Lee Pearlman, at Denmon Pearlman Law Firm. From our very first meeting, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional. Lee took the time to thoroughly understand my case, providing not only expert legal advice but also a sense of reassurance and support that was invaluable during a challenging time.

He approached every aspect of my case with meticulous attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice on my behalf. His ability to communicate complex legal matters in an understandable way, combined with his compassionate approach, made me feel confident and well-informed at every stage.
The successful outcome of my case is a direct result of Lee's hard work and relentless advocacy.

I highly recommend Lee Pearlman, and the firm to anyone in need of legal representation—they truly go above and beyond for their clients. Lee Pearlman, is truly amazing!!!

It’s not enough stars on here to rate these 2 and their law firm. I was at a really bad place in my life when a friend of mine referred me to Maribeth Wetzel. I gave Beth a call and explained my situation to her and i immediately felt at ease after talking with her about my case and the difficulties that I faced. Beth fought for me in my case. I mean really fought for me and words cannot express how much I appreciate her and Summer for working with me on my case. The beauty of it all about hiring Maribeth or Summer Goldman, you get both exceptionally great attorneys working on your case. They are fighters and when you get in a bad spot within the criminal justice center, that’s all you want and should have during that difficult time. I got my life back. I’m forever grateful for the two!!!!!! Sincerely, Terrance Blanchard.

I hired Aimee to help me with my uncontested divorce. I had originally hired another attorney who was not being responsive. I explained to Aimee my desire to quickly resolve the divorce so that I could move forward with my life. It is the middle of COVID and my previous attorney was using this as an excuse to delay action. Aimee made phone calls right away and within 4 days was able to have me a court date. I am now divorced within a week of working with Aimee. I would highly recommend Aimee as a very responsive and professional attorney.

I’m glad I found Danielle to represent me during the worst time of my life fighting for custody. Danielle was amazing at understanding my situation, explaining it and fighting for my rights and all with my heart and pain in mind. She was always conscientious enough to think about the best outcome, considering the expense for each angle and the implications down the line. Danielle thoroughly explained each step and the pros and cons for all decisions. I really appreciate her experience, knowledge and her good heart in representing me. She was always timely with everything and fully informed of the details in my case. She is always wonderful and sweet but a knowledgeable fighter in court who always went in well prepared and ready for anything. What I loved most about working with Danielle is that she never sold me a dream and never gave me false hopes. She always came forward with honesty and the truth about all possibilities. Danielle is a great negotiator as well. Danielle was amazing and I will continue to recommend her to everyone I know.

Danielle was very thorough, always prepared and represented me in an excellent manner. The other attorney tried to use innuendo, half truths and misleading statements to bolster her client's case but Danielle was up to the task. She was not intimidated and ultimately negotiated a settlement before trial.

Without a doubt, this is the best family law office in Pinellas County. Sarah is an excellent, kind, professional, skilled, and highly intelligent attorney. She helped my husband protect my stepdaughter. Due to Sarah's hard work, she made sure that our little girl has the best and most stable life possible. She negotiated a unbelievably great time sharing agreement and brought peace to what started out extremely hard fought court battle.

Sarah is the best family law attorney in the Tampa Bay area and this review is from the perspective of a client.
I will forever and always be grateful for Sarah. She protected my daughter's chance at having a healthy & safe upbringing. I was given 50/50 time sharing of my daughter from the first hearing. Things only improved from there, and now my case is peacefully closed.

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.

He kept in constant contact with me throughout the process and the results he got for us were much better than expected. I truly appreciate his up front, no nonsense advocacy. It was a relief to know that he had my back during this emergency.

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!!!

Smith wrote one incorrect demand letter and filed one incorrect complaint. He filed my work product and failed to produce my documents. My documents were extensive and would have forced a settlement discussion. He billed me approximately $12,000 - his paralgal time was $2000. He harrassed me for 9 months involving my new lawyer William Walker. So no work was done while Smith chased me for approximately 5,000. I fired Smith and then Walker. They colluded to get me to pay Smith. They may threaten to sue me for defamation. Their problem is they have NO CASE. I can documenet every word of this review with text and Emails and correspondence.
Smith chased me without any legal authority to do so (His fee agreement was contradictory, confusing to all that viewed it including his mediator friend. He is a liar and a bad lawyer. I am 72 and starting with Smith I lost every dime. I paid horrible lawyers over $150,000. Each was unable to negotiate a settlement. Each billed time that they could never justify.
I was a paralegal and legal manager, I settled thousands of lawsuits in mass tort, had authority and settled cases for major clients and yet these lawyers cost me my financial life; And a home I intended to leave to my family. Please pay attention. Incompetance is bad, but lies and harrasment seems common in Pinellas County. I will review 5 lawyers - Smith, WIlliam Walker, Carolyn Margolies and Jesse Skipper. Please see my reviews. Its important.

Hired for my divorce. If I wasn’t actively calling or emailing them, they’d let weeks go by without reaching out even when action was needed on either end. I think the divorce took twice as long just due to slow responses and the inability to be proactive. I paid for legal advice to avoid losing more than I had to in mediation and ended up not getting much in the way of advice at all. I could have gone to a friend for free if I wanted to hear that it was all up to me in the end. It’s pretty upsetting to hire what amounts to a glorified $350/hr paper pusher.

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.
