Always a great experience with Eric's firm and title company . Every employee they have is ultra competent and on quite a few transactions Eric and his team of paralegals and assistants have proven to be a God sent making closings easy and hassle free. We have used them on commercial deals and also on real estate transactions and their scope of knowledge has always proven to be exceptional. Highly recommend for a set it and forget it closing

Not what I expected. With the recent passing of my father, i sought out a local attorney to begin the probate process. On a recommendation, I contacted this office and was passed to Sanchez for handling the probate. We met and discussed Dad's estate to include owning two houses, one here in Florida and another one in a different state. I filled out an inventory sheet showing Dad didn't have many assets but those two homes. Sanchez presented two alternatives for probate that I should consider. I chose the "Summary" route since Dad's estate was small. Alvarez said okay and NEVER mentioned that I should go with the "Formal" route. Then when it came time to transfer the deed for the out-of-state house, they charged me another $560 for necessary documents that should have been included in the original probate which I had already paid. Alvarez stated if i had gone with the "Formal" i wouldn't have incurred these additional fees.......then why didn't he say so in the beginning? He responded to my question by telling me he recommended the 'Formal' which is not true---if so, why would I have not followed the "expert" recommendation? Needless to say, when it came time to transfer title for the house in Florida, I sought out another law firm which went very well! Another attorney suggests I notify the Florida Bar of this unprofessional service.....we'll see.....

Prior to hiring Victoria and her team at Centonzio Law, I was using one of those "popular" veteran companies from social media to handle my case for several claims. After all of my claims were denied, the said company began dragging it's feet on the appeal process. As time was cutting close to the appeal deadline, and not knowing where else to turn to, I began to look somewhere else. I didn't have to look far as Javier Centonzio and I served in the same Marine unit in Iraq. As soon as we talked about the case, Victoria and her team jumped on it and filed the appeal prior to the deadline. Their dedication and attention to detail is unparalleled. They are compassionate and very knowledgeable about the law. But most importantly, they understand what we went through, can articulate it, and apply it to the law. I highly recommend Victoria and her team. No doubt, they will fight your case!

Finding a lawyer who will listen to you, who you know will put your best interests first can be very difficult. All the radio advertisements can make finding the right lawyer difficult, they all make big promises. Fente and Fente are a father and son who handled my lawsuit with what could only be described as caring without compromise. Results take time, it’s a process.

Needless to say; we were able to relax even more on our vacation knowing that our family affairs are in order should anything happen. We absolutely recommend the Family First Firm to our friends, family, and anyone needing to plan for their families future. They made this experience about as easy and enjoyable as it can be.

When my Father, a 90-year-old WWII veteran, indicated that, he was no longer able to manage his affairs I had to act quickly. I had never been privy to my Father’s finances or affairs until he asked for help. Furthermore, I live out of state. I was stressed handling this matter from afar. Luckily, Attorney Geoff Hoatson was recommended by my father’s longtime attorney as a specialist in Estate Planning. From the beginning, Geoff and his staff were clear, efficient, professional, and caring. Geoff and his staff worked quickly and offered solutions to issues I did not even know we had. He and his staff accommodated my schedule to ensure all matters were well attended. They are attentive to detail and responsive. I highly recommend Attorney Geoffrey Hoatson and The Family First Firm!

Jennifer Dietz help me and my family in a large contract dispute regarding my pets. She worked through the Christmas holidays to help us get our pets back from a kennel that tried to over-bill us for boarding our pets. It was a bait and switch tactic by this unscrupulous kennel/boarding company. Jennifer not only got our pets back but she got the kennel to honor the original contract. She worked very hard and charged half of what other attoneys wanted. We love her!

Without the legal representation of Jennifer Dietz as our counsel, two dogs would have remained languishing in boarding. Her months of dedication to our case and these dogs spoke to her character and integrity. Mrs Dietz fought on our behalf to defend, mitigate & negotiate to reach a settlement between our rescue and a boarding facility that was holding our dogs hostage over a bill that they had padded to the point we could not repay it. Thanks to the settlement agreement Jennifer presented, we now have these two loving dogs back and they were able to receive the vet care that was being withheld. Mrs Dietz has been nothing but genuine, caring, highly responsible and passionate about both animals and the clients she fights so hard for. Our mission is and always has been quite simply to rescue dogs and anyone in need of legal counsel to assist in these efforts, we could not give a stronger recommendation that that of Jennifer Dietz and her firm. She is indeed dedicated to animal protection and backs that up through her actions.

Since I failed to report it in I received a letter from the the Board of Nursing wanting to mediate or legal action was going to be taken towards my license. I then hired Elizabeth about my issue and she spoke to the Board of Nursing and got the case to be dismissed by not having them file a complaint towards me and my license.

Even though it wasn't a big claim in light of what I'm sure they normally handle, they took the time to walk me through the process and had great insight that resulted in a much better settlement than I could have achieved alone. They're knowledgeable, quick to respond, and truly care about your issues, big and small. Can't recommend them enough!

Hiring Solomon, Maharaj & Kasimati was the smartest decision I made in my legal federal employment law case. At every stage , Mr. Maharaj kept me informed, explained the lengthly process stages, argued on my behalf through well thought out legal substantive facts and equally as important, treated me like a person that mattered and not a number as many large firms sadly do. Mr. Maharaj worked tirelessly on my case, respectfully going toe to toe with the federal government attorneys and proving himself through his dedication to me as his client. While all cases are different, I would suggest the forward thinking legal arguments and attention to detail Mr Maharaj championed on my behalf, were the determining factors that resulted in the positive outcome of my case. I proudly recommend Mr. Maharaj and could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, hard working defender of my rights.

Mr. Maharaj is focused, diligent and caring in your defense and he will win. You have spent your career building your reputation, Don't let a Federal Agency try to tear it down retaliating against your for following or enforcing the law or Policy. After providing significant testimony in response to several independent and agency investigations, the agency retaliated against me. Dan aggressively countered and filed motions and appeals through various Federal Employment adjudication agencies (EEO, OSC & MSPB) The negotiated settlement agreement Mr. Maharaj arranged was better than expected and the agency had to provide significant compensatory damages as well as future employment references and opportunities.

Finding Kenneth to help settle my DBA claim was the best thing I ever did! I had hired two different attorneys prior to finding Kenneth. They were the reasons people make jokes about attorneys. Kenneth quickly went to work on my case, kept me informed each step of the way, explained clearly how the system works, and was always available to help me with even the smallest details! His office staff were awesome and supportive as well. They frequently reached out to me to see how I was doing. When the time came to negotiate the financial settlement, he was very well prepared and he negotiated a settlement that was triple what I thought I would get! He is a kind and compassionate man and always treated me with respect. I was amazed that he could organize all the materials and medical records that had accumulated over several years before I found him. He understands how the opposition works as he had once worked on their team. His experience working the other side of the isle gave him a clear understanding of the best way to handle the claim that would get me the best medical care as well as build a case for a large settlement. I will always be indebted to him for the work he has done to get a settlement that will allow me to have the best financial and medical future possible. He is the genuine article, and from my previously negative experience with attorneys that never returned calls, lost documents, kept me in a holding pattern for years, Kenneth helped me regain my faith in our legal system. He quickly organized all the documents and moved my medical treatment forward. He advocated for the treatment that I felt would benefit me the most. He also patiently explained the DBA to doctors so that they would document my case clearly and bill the appropriate entities. When I had questions, he would answer them clearly and quickly. I never felt like just a claim number. Working in a war zone brings its own set of issues, and he was able to restore hope and optimism. He kept me informed about any and all progress on my claim. I will always be grateful that he was my attorney! More importantly, I will always consider him a dear friend.

Upon receiving his Opinion Letter, I wrote him and his firm the following response: Mr. Tad: Thank your for your prompt delivery of this Legal Opinion Letter. Your work is proficient, professional, comprehensive, and most informative. Before contacting your firm, I researched to find your reputation and qualifications #1 in Jacksonville and among the top ranked within FL. Through your listening skills, workmanship, care, and expertise, I now know why you command such high regard within your profession. Outstanding job Counselor!

If you have a family law issue and you are wondering who you should hire, I would highly recommend Lisa Coplan-Gardner to represent you. Lisa has been representing me in my family law suits for nearly 10 years now. Lisa is very knowledgeable and resourceful when it comes to family law. Lisa really showed me that she cares about me as her client and has gone above and beyond to help me win my cases. Lisa has always answered or returned my telephone calls and emails in a timely manner. She has a great support staff that are always willing to help. I have been very satisfied with the results that Lisa has produced while representing me in my lengthy case history. I have recommended Lisa to my close friends and family because she is such a dynamite attorney and a wonderful caring person.

I have used Lisa Coplan-Gardner on several occasions for child support issues. Every case has been ruled in my favor due to her hard-work, diligence and compassion. I always felt that my case was a priority for her and her entire staff. I have a special needs child and a complex case. At our initial consultation, before I even hired her, she began looking up information for me and guiding me. At no time did I ever feel that it was about money for her. I was surprised at her eagerness to help me, educate me and fight for me and my children. Her kindness, understanding and patience was a breath of fresh air after having spoken to 3 other attorneys who made me feel as if I were a number. They were cold and unconcerned. Lisa treated me like a friend. When it was obvious that my complex case was going to cost more than I could afford at the time, she was sympathetic. She allowed me to make payments to her and often discounted some of her rates. She also suggested ways that I could reduce the costs by handling some things myself instead of just sucking every penny out of me that she could get. By me being proactive in helping with my case, it helped me be more prepared and educated in the courtroom in front of the judge. It also helped me to prepare for what is proving to be a long-term battle against the father of my children. The advice and education that she gave me through the entire process is proving to be invaluable. She never kept me in the dark, she was always available to talk to me, and her staff was AMAZING AND HELPFUL!!!! The thing that most impressed me about Lisa was that she was always honest with me - a trait that is not commonly associated with her profession - even when it was something that I didn't want to hear. She seems to be well liked and respected by other attorneys and the judges seem to respond well to her. She is a sweet, tiny, little thing, but she might as well be 10 feet tall in the courtroom. I have the utmost confidence in her abilities and have referred her to others. They have had equally satisfying experiences with her firm. There is no question that I will utilize her services again in the future. Overall, I don't think that you could hire a better Family Law Attorney.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding legal support provided by Jones Health Law during my recent Department of Health (DOH) case. From the onset, Jamaal Jones demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in my atypical case. His expertise and strategic approach were instrumental in navigating the nuances of the DOH proceedings, leading to a favorable resolution. What sets Mr. Jones apart is not only his legal proficiency but also his solid dedication. Throughout the process, he and his team maintained clear communication, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with the proceedings. I found Jamaal Jones to be highly professional and accessible, promptly addressing any concerns or inquiries I had, and my case is very unusual so to say. Their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients is evident in the results achieved in my case. I would definitely recommend Jones Health Law to anyone in need of legal representation, particularly in matters involving the Department of Health.

I truly cannot begin to express my gratitude for Mr. Jamaal Jones. To put it plainly, there aren't enough words in the dictionary for me to say enough good things about Mr. Jones as an attorney and professional! Mr Jamaal Jones and the team at Jones Health Law helped me deal with and face a legal matter regarding my professional license with the Florida Department of Health. This matter was very serious and if not handled correctly, could have had dire consequences on my professional license and career as a healthcare professional. Mr. Jones, from the very beginning, dealt with my case and legal matter with the utmost knowledge, professionalism, urgency, and care. He made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. He was there to guide me through all the legal work but was also there for me for emotional support and was extremely caring and supportive throughout this difficult and trying time. He delivered information in way that was clear and truthful but in a manner that gave me hope and positivity as I was dealing with my situation. He was always there to answer my questions, follow through, and responded to every email and phone call in no time. He always assured me that work would be done and things would be sent and handled at the appropriate times and they ALWAYS were. At the end of the process, which took well over a year, he was able to get the case fully closed and DISMISSED in my favor!!! I highly recommend Jamaal Jones for any legal matters you are facing when it comes to health law! He saved my professional reputation and career and if I could give him 10 stars, I would!!! I promise you cannot go wrong in hiring Mr Jones to represent you no matter what legal matters you may be facing. THANK YOU AGAIN, Jamaal!

I had reviewed a few employment and labor attorneys/firms online and consulted a couple before being referred to his firm. His firm was recommended by another attorney and having that endorsement made it an easy choice for me. When I am looking for a specialist in a field, I expect that professional to know his/her trade like the back of their hand. James is very knowledgeable and diligent, and meticulous in his approach. He was very quick to grasp the nitty-gritty of my situation. I would have to say that my case was probably a little unusual and it turned out to be more complicated than I had initially foreseen but that did not faze James. He outlined the probable outcomes and developed a course of action. He gave good advice and patiently answered my numerous questions. His negotiation skills are par excellence and I believe that clinched the matter in my favor in the end. I would strongly recommend Attorney James Poindexter to anyone looking for legal counsel or representation in the area of employment related issues. He will meet or exceed your expectations.

I was at my wits end after calling over 20 such firms and finding myself dead in the water. Matt's firm is uniquely diversified and I was reluctant to call at first. This was a naïve mistake on my part. Matt answered my first call and promptly looked up my case finding information and details in just a few minutes that made all the difference in terms of a more positive outcome where my case was concerned. He then offered advice about the process I was going through and counsel on how to handle the different aspects of it I would encounter. In short he saved my life.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You

A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.

Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.

When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:

  • Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
  • Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
  • Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
  • Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
  • Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
  • Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.

Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.

What Does a Government Lawyer Do?

A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:

  • Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
  • Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
  • Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
  • Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
  • Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
  • Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
  • Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.

How Are Government Lawyers Paid?

Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:

  • Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
  • Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
  • Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.

Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.

Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer

When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What is your experience with government law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation.
  4. How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
    Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC).
  5. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past.
  6. Who will handle my case?
    Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.

How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:

  • Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
  • Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
  • Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
  • Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
