When Atty. Matthew Collett was referred to me to handle my case, the first thing I did was reviewed his profiles against the other attorney profiles that I had in my list. I was impressed with all that he had successfully accomplished and I said to myself "hmmm...this guy would fit in the case". He was actually the one that hit the bell and made my decision to retain him.
He put in his full efforts and worked hard on my case for a reasonable and affordable charge. He listened closely and carefully to and understood my situations and/or opinions and provided with legal advice, he was really easy to work with, he advised me that my case could be referred to other attorney if it were outside of his expertise, and most importantly the untiring patience that he had shown throughout the entire case process.
He was able to resolve my case in a short period of time with positive outcomes. Now, the biggest thing to me is that I am able to retain my employment because of his expertise. He is second to none with his undoubted dedication, knowledge, skills and abilities. I would definitely recommend Attorney Matthew Collett for consultation and eventually for retention to handle your case all the way through the end.

Matt Collett was a pleasure to deal with, he got my driving with a suspended license changed to a civil case of not having a valid drivers license. He also got my speeding ticket completely dropped. He also did not charge me a ridiculous price, I was very happy with the deal he gave me. I also thought he was a very nice and reliable guy to have, he was very responsive and kept me up to date with everything that was going on.

Matt has been a pleasure to work with over the years. He is extreemly knowlegable and has earned my trust to what is right for me. Whether it be something small like a traffic ticket or something major he makes himself available at all times. His dedication to helping his clients is something that really impressed me. Matt is also very well connected, there have been a few things that Matt was honest with me and let me know that isnt his expertise, but he was able to set me up with someone. Regardless of what you need a laywer for I would recomed giving Matt a call.

Call him!! We came to Cobb Eddy with a series of legal concerns we were trying to address with our own very cursory understanding of these subject matter areas. Mr. Cobb broke down all the possible outcomes in each of our matters and offered a strategic plan for every possible scenario. He demonstrated a talent for accounting for every variable, even the ones that were easy-to-ignore or counterintuitive in nature. With everything addressed and accounted for so methodically, our legal matters ended on a very positive note.
We've known Mr. Cobb for many years now and he's a true professional and that extends out to the firm as well. His experience, dedication and client focus makes the legal process as comfortable as can be. Highly recommended.

When I first met Mr. Cobb, he knew very little about our industry. Now, he is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts in all aspects of our marketplace. I can proudly say that I honestly feel that Cobb Eddy Law Firm has our best interests at all times, thus putting us in position to enjoy success both now and into the future. Bottom line, he doesn't tell you what you want to hear. He tells you the truth!

I've owned my business for 25 year and have never had a more effective representation. Brady's ability to roll-up his sleeves to get the job done right and kick butt if necessary, are traits that make a difference between and "OK" lawyer and a "Great" lawyer. I can't say enough good things about my experience and I highly recommend Brady Cobb. He is also a really nice guy (another traits that is rare lawyers).

Todd and his staff are so incredible. After being in TWO motor accidents within 3 months, they ensured that I received proper care and was given proper compensation for my injuries. I called them all the time (probably too much😂) for status updates and they made sure I had all the information I needed to feel secure and educated about my case. If you are in need of someone who cares about you and not just your money, I highly recommend Todd and his team.

Mr. Corsmeier provides excellent legal advice and is incredibly knowledgeable in an area of law that can be extremely difficult. He represents and is on retainer for the law firm I work for and has been an invaluable asset. I recently attended one of his seminars about Florida Bar advertising rules and regulations.

I cannot begin to express the gratitude and admiration that I have for Mr. Corsmeier as an indispensable asset that allows me to focus on my client's needs while he acts as the on call resource for all ethical and rules issues that confront the practice.
I give this attorney my highest and best recommendation and I encourage every attorney reading this to retain his services immediately to insure that the highest and best ethical standards are maintained at your firm.

I hired Richard right after I ran into civil dispute which required a complex understanding of a very particular industry. He quickly got up to speed and delivered a concise strategic plan that addressed my best options from a legal perspective. His experience, dedication, and personal care far exceeded my expectations. Not knowing what my case was going to look like, he helped me clearly understand what my options were. When questions or concerns came up, he fully addressed them and held a positive, yet objective viewpoint which minimized surprises. He’s an excellent communicator who eloquently responded to case documents and processes with the utmost care and diligence. Overall, I felt Richard went above the work I hired him to do by combining the much needed personal touch to his professional expertise. Ultimately, his performance led to a very favorable resolution. I am beyond grateful for his assistance. I highly recommend Mr. Steinberg’s services and fully entrust in his ability to take on whatever legal challenges or advice you may need.

During my 37 year career as a law enforcement officer and as Chief of Police for the past 16 years I have worked with many attorneys. Cliff Shepard is without a doubt on top of my list as an advocate for his clients. In recent litigation involving a multi million dollar lawsuit many lawyers wanted to settle the claim after arbitration. Cliff took the position we had done nothing wrong and insisted on going to trial if need be. As a result of his insistance the case proceeded and we prevailed with the court ultimately dismissing the claim totally.

Cliff handled a very sensitive civil litigation matter for me which involved mutiple parties and perfomed admirably. He was always conscious of who he represented (me!) and was enthusiastic about the pursuit of the case. He is a knowledgeable and aggressive litigator who can think on his feet, but above all, he is ethical. I certainly would engage him again.

This is my first experience in hiring an attorney and needed to do so for my spouse's case. Sincerely, I didn't know where to start. While reading different reviews online, and word of mouth recommendations, Richard came into play. He is very responsive, kind, communicative and reliable. Anytime I had a question or concern either from my spouse or myself, he always answered every phone call, text message or email. Having done everything remotely with me, he was very professional and trustworthy. He was very knowledgeable and explained all legal terms and procedures to us with time and diligence.
I would recommend Richard for any of your legal needs.

Tanner has been there during my foreclosure process. He was very affordable compared to other Attorneys I talked with. I had started doing the foreclosure process my self not knowing any thing about the law. When checking with all the laws it was confusing and hard but I decided that if I paid an Attorney to do this and all they would do was to charge me for them losing then I would just try to do it my self. Some one referred me to Tanner Andrews and as I sat in his office I found him very easy to talk with and easy to understand. I hired him with a 500 dollar retainer fee. He has been so curtious and understanding. He understands not every one has the money to hire an expensive Attorney. Not all expensive Attorneys are good ones. Mr. Andrews is fair and he will fight for what you believe in. I would refer him to every one.
Thank You
Mr. Tanner Andrew for every thing you have done for me and my family.

On a home purchase that went sour, the seller refused to refund our purchase deposit so we could buy another home. We moved into the sellers/our new house when we gave him the purchase deposit and signed the purchase contract. The PC stated what the seller agreed to do before closing.
The seller would not do what he agreed to so we refused to close. We asked for our deposit back so we could buy another home and move out of the one we would no longer buy.
The seller refused to give us back our deposit so we refused to move and refused to pay his demand for rent money. The seller took us to court in an attempt to evict us while keeping our purchase deposit of thousands of dollars.
We called around and Tanner Andrews was recommended to us, as we only had 3 days to respond to the eviction notice. We met with Tanner and showed him our purchase contract and deposit receipts.
He said he would beat the eviction process and counter sue the seller at the same time to get our deposit back. That meant he had to file about 7 different motions with the court and only had 3 days to get them all in to the court. Tanner only charged us $300 retainer fee for starting the process. He was affordable, that was great.
He succeeded. We got a trial date and were ready to take it to a jury trial. During this time the seller made many ridiculous offers all of which we refused. We wanted all our money back plus time to find and buy another home with.
Tanner kept us well informed each step of the way. He was never hard to get a hold of. He sent me dozens of very brief emails notifying me of any change in the process, or new current offer. Some lawyers are so hard to get a hold of. But tanner was always easy to get a hold of.
Tanner hoped we would settle so it wouldn't have to go all the way to trail. But since all the offers were ludicrous and we refused them all, Tanner hung in with us ready to go all the way to jury trail.
During PRE jury selection day, Tanner showed the judge how ridiculous this trial was going to be since the trail would end up just being a great waste of the courts time. The judge saw it should be settled here and now to save court time. But the judge had to get the seller to agree as the judge could not yet force the seller to do anything.
Based on the evidence Tanner showed the judge that we had for a jury trial, the judge began reprimanding the seller and pushing him to settle here and now, that the seller would gain nothing by continuing into a jury trial.
Tanner convinced the judge to push the seller into settling our way and refunding all our deposit money. Or we could start jury selection now and the outcome would still be the same, but just greatly delayed with tons of time and court resource's wasted.
It was fantastic. The judge hounded the seller until the seller agreed to a refund, plus letting us stay there long enough to find and buy another home before we had to move out (5 weeks). The seller agreed, the judge on the spot began writing up the terms of our settlement right then and there. We signed, the seller signed and then the judge signed making it all written in stone so the seller could not change his mind and waste any more of the courts time.
Tanner is fantastic at legal and court paperwork. He did everything right for us so we got what we wanted. We are so glad we hired him. We felt lucky he could jump on our case with only 3 days notice the eviction deadline had to be met for him to file all his motions and counter suits.
Tanners cost turned out to be a huge bargain for us. He saved us so much money & charged us so little, we couldn't be happier. That's why I write this review for him.
He protected us very well.
Tanner is a little operation compared to larger firms. We got very personalized service from him and loved it. He never made us feel insignificant like the big firms do to their customers.
Thanks for the help Tanner.

Going up against the SAO or the DOJ, the odds are already stacked against you. An attorney with the knowledge and experience like Curtis Fallgatter brings to the table, helps level that playing field. His office works together like a fluid team and I can promise you he'll outwork every attorney you have ever met. He works long hours and leaves no stone unturned. I've never met an attorney that worked as hard as he does for his clients.
The situation and year I found myself needing Fallgatter's services was by far the worst year of my life. He helped me get through that year on a professional and personal level. No need to look further for an attorney give his office a call and see for yourself.

It's very rare to come across an attorney that will actually take the time to "sit and listen". He not only took the time to sit and listen but he also thought of every question possible to make sure he knew every aspect of the case. He invested a lot of his personal time on this, time I don't believe another attorney would do and I am forever grateful. He is a true fighter for his clients in every aspect and was always quick to remind me to have faith. It's not about the numbers for him, it's about what is right for his clients.

Above is a correction my earlier review entry (mistook how to mark items - these are accurate). This attorney went beyond any expectation I had for assistance in resolving the contractor issue I had encountered in building a Florida residence. I would recommend him to anyone needing immediate and aggressive action taken on any legal engagement he chose to accept. My apologies to Sorin for my earlier use of the review selection items...

Mr. Wolfson, has been my attorney on multiple healthcare-associated legal matters. I was impressed by his wealth of knowledge and tenacity in pursuing these difficult cases. No matter how complex the case was, Mr. Wolfson strived arduously to resolve the matter in my favor.
Although there were multiple lawyers involved with one particular case, Mr. Wolfson graciously took a lead position and successfully managed these lawyers resulting in an expeditious as well as a successful conclusion to the case.
Despite being a solo practitioner, Mr. Wolfson has demonstrated an uncanny ability to gather and analyze the legal facts of the case so as to effectively and efficaciously manage the healthcare matter and to minimize his billings.
To date, I have not been able to find any attorney, notwithstanding the specialty of law practiced, as capable as Jay Wolfson in assessing a case as quickly and as thoroughly in order to complete the matter at hand so that his client will be spared the usual and inordinate cost of litigation. Therefore, I unhesitatingly recommend Mr. Wolfson to anyone seeking a competent and knowledgeable attorney who serves his client with compassion and understanding unequal in today's legal arena.

One of the smartest and most dependable people I have ever met. I am an attorney but Joel has handled several business related matters for me over the years. As the saying goes: He who represents himself has a fool for an attorney. He has impressed me with his foundational knowledge of the law, his creativity and common sense. He has acquired a wisdom reserved to persons much older than himself and his trustworthiness is beyond par. I cannot give him a higher recommendation.

It has been my great pleasure to know Mr. Gazitua over the past several years as Special Advisor to the Office of the Mayor, Miami-Dade County. His willingness to accept challenges and listen to input enables him to contribute thoughtful, well-reasoned approaches to helping create innovative solutions.

For example, his direction of the V volunteer initiative resulted in remarkable achievements in our community. I believe he will prove to be a valuable asset to any organization.

In his personal time he serves with me on the Board of City Year Miami a non profit organization that helps give teenagers an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. He truly believes in giving back to the community he is a part of.

As many Service-Connected-Veterans have experienced, the VA kicks "us" Veterans around, denies our just claims, and or defers our valid claims for adjudication beyond an acceptable (and or) legal time period under existing statute/s.
In 2019, I retained Nicholas Simpson, Esq. to handle my VA claims / decision reviews/ appeals.
He worked diligently and tirelessly with the VA (for approximately one-year) and was able to persuade them (VA) to award me TDIU at a Total & Permanent Rating based on my SC Conditions' Occupational Impairment.
I highly recommend this attorney to anyone seeking help with issues surrounding VA Appeals, and or adverse VA Decision Reviews.
He (Nick) is approachable, easy to talk to, and plain nice. He routinely communicated with me throughout the process and explained the procedure in the way a lay person could understand it.
I am not sure how any one could "do-better" than this guy!

I ran into Nick when he was with his old firm. It was a time I needed an attorney with integrity and some drive to make something actually happen. That's what I got. He knows the VA and his areas of the law unimpeachably. And he stands for veterans! He left his firm on the grounds of his ethical integrity standards. That means his character was too good for a big firm.
For me personally he drove all night to make a TRAFFIC COURT appearance! Just to save me from getting points on my license! And he's fair with regards to his fees, and goes the extra mile every time. I have gotten much more value for payment than I thought was possible from an attorney.
I talk to Nick about anything, and trust his advice. A lawyer with quality of service and character! I didn't know that was a thing... til I got this guy on my side. Settle for nothing less!

I recently contacted Dr. Fist Petya for help with my immigration mater. The entire experience was just wonderful. She is so easy to work with and extremely talented in conveying her skills, interests, and accomplishments through her work.
Dr. Fist Petya is a real treasure. She carefully crafts words with sensitivity and precision. She does not sacrifice the integrity of the work but adds several dimensions. She responds promptly and quickly to calls and emails. She is professional, extremely competent and a joy to work with. It would be a mistake to work with anyone else without giving Dr. Petya a first look.
I recommend her without question. She is superb, outstanding, one-of-a-kind, excellent – the best!
I am very pleased with how reasonably her price is. She is kind and always ready to help.

Attorney Zach is one heck of a lawyer!! My divorce is in it's second year and took an interesting turn. I ended up having my case heard before the appellate court in Tampa, FL. Zach is brilliant! He worked diligently on the brief (for any of you who don't know, only a specialized attorney has the capability to draft a brief for an appellate case). WOW! Thanks to his brief and Chris Lombardo's delivery we won. Zach is extremely intelligent and was able to use case law in such a manner that we received an answer from the court in an unprecedented amount of time. Zach is truly an amazing attorney and I am so thankful to have him on my side.

Mr. Herbert S. Zischkau III is a top-notch, knowledgeable, highly intelligent attorney with a very caring, compassionate and personalized touch, which is why I highly recommend him. There is no way that I will ever be able to thank or repay Mr. Zischkau for all of his kind and much needed legal advice and assistance over the last several years as my family attorney. He has always provided me with the legal expertise that I have needed in a very understanding and personal way. Mr. Zischkau is a very kindhearted legal professional, who connects with his clients, who connects with me on a very personal level. Though now retired, I used to work with numerous, various attorneys on a weekly basis for about two decades, who either worked for the county or the state, or who were in private practice. My point being, I am well familiar with attorneys. Of the hundreds of attorneys that I have worked with in that two decade time span, Mr. Zischkau is one of the top three attorneys that I have had the pleasure to work with and who I hold in the highest regard. Take my advice! If you need an attorney who cares, who understands, who you want to work with you on a personal level and who knows how to get the job done, Mr. Zischkau is the attorney that you need to see. Thank-you, Mr. Zischkau, for your much needed legal advice and assistance over the last several years! I will never be able to thank you or repay you for all that you have done for me. I consider you more than just my family attorney, but also as reliable, loyal, caring personal friend. There are few caring and compassionate individuals, such fine gentlemen, such keen legal professionals as you. You are most definitely top-notch in every regard.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
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.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
