1st Source Bank is an Indiana based bank. Why would Florida based law firm have anything to do with it. Also when calling an attorneys office, they do not push to fill out information online. They are suppose to take down your information for their legal team to contact you back. THIS IS A SCAM

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.

A family member had a medical emergency during a surgical procedure which caused great emotional distress. We consulted a few attorneys about the matter but the only attorney who was willing to provide guidance in a compassionate manner was Mr. Cleary. From our first phone call to his office and upon speaking with his assistant, Monica, we knew we were in good hands. Mr Cleary took the time to listen to our experience and concerns. Based on our conversations with him, we can confidently say that Mr. Cleary had our very best interest in mind at all times. After thoroughly combing over the medical records we provided, he took the time to explain all the possible outcomes in our situation.
We would highly recommend Mr. Cleary and his staff, without reservation, due to the excellent, personal client service they provided.

I had many issues with my roof and was looking for a good law firm to help me with my situations. I search online and came across this law firm. I decided to take chance based on the reviewed that I read online. I was extremely extremely happy with their work. I had great results, the staff and the lawyers were excellent. 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.

My family is celebrating a victory due to the exceptional service from Atty. Seltzer law firm. In a-world of uncertainty of legal issues, which was stressful. I must say this law firm gave my son exceptional service and left a lasting impression.
Exceptional service isn’t just about fulfilling basic legal needs; it’s about creating the best legal experience with the best outcome. Atty. Seltzer provided genuine legal advice, attention to detail and the willingness to go the extra mile. His dedication to my son’s case was excellent and a positive experience. To conclude this review, I would like to say thank you Atty. Seltzer for being able to make a genuine human connection with my family which made a huge difference in our legal outcome and our lives.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Julia and her team during my bankruptcy case. From the very beginning, Julia and Teresa were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. They took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I was well-prepared and knew exactly what to expect. Their expertise made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
A special shoutout to Teresa, Julia's assistant, who was exceptionally hands-on and always available to answer my questions. Teresa went above and beyond to make a rather difficult process very easy. Her prompt responses, empathetic nature, and helpful guidance were invaluable. She effectively removed the stress element from the situation, making it much more manageable.
Thanks to Julia and Teresa, I was able to navigate this challenging time with confidence and ease. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a top-notch bankruptcy attorney. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to deliver outstanding results.

¡No lo recomiendo en absoluto! Se retiró de mi caso de migración a menos de un mes de la corte con la excusa que no le había pagado todo el dinero cuando se acordó con el de pagar todo antes de la fecha de corte. Se abonaron $3000 de $4500, faltaron $1500 que iban a ser cancelados antes de la fecha de la corte como estaba previsto en el acuerdo.
No obstante le valió al abogado y presentó su retiro ante la corte denunciando que yo no contestaba llamadas para “trabajar en el caso”.
Las únicas llamadas que recibí fui de su asistente Yuri cobrando insistentemente sin importar que tipo de condición esté pasando el cliente.
Incumplió el contrato y se retiró con la suma de $3000 abonados. ¡Impondré acciones legales!
Que a nadie más le pase! Que no le roben su dinero. …
Ah!!! Y y prometen comisiones por clientes referidos lo cual referí una conocida y ni las gracias dieron, por el contrario un trato hostil y poco profesional.

For over six months, I've been living in terror at 6823 NW 4 Ave. Every night, I dread returning to my own apartment. The lot next door, supposedly an investment by this law firm, has become a haven for illegal activities. They house the homeless there, who smuggle and uses drugs right under our noses. It's a shameful and dangerous situation.

I would recommend Ms. Elizee for any immigration case. I spent several thousand of dollars with other lawyers and was denied twice on my petition. Thankfully, someone told me about Elizee Law Firm, and I traveled from Broward to see this lawyer, and it was the best decision I ever made. She worked out payments with me, was on top of documents, and did all she could to clear up the issues with my first two petition. In the end , I have finally been Approved. I will recommend everyone to her.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -

Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -

To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
