To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

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.

Alex Barthet is exactly what you are looking for. You are looking for someone to answer your questions with confidence, to be knowledgeable about the subject every time you call, to bring you peace in a moment of frustration or desperation. You will find all of this in spades from this man. If you are talking to a lawyer for Construction Law, you are already having a bad day. This man will lay everything out for you and from the most genuine of places tell you everything he is willing to do or can do. The first time I called his office, I got a call back within hours. The call back was a man prepared to listen, advise and strategize. That is very rare these days when you call a law office. His pricing is reasonable, his advice is sound and at the end of the day he has a bedside manner to deliver even bad news in a positive way. If you are already working with him, let me be the one to reassure you, you are in good hands.

When I decided to finally Lemon my new 2023 Corvette because it had been in the shop for longer than three months I went to Google. I must have filled out five forms for attorneys in Dade County. Within 10 minutes I received a call from Attorney Schwartz himself - at 7:00 pm! Other law firms such as Farah & Farah had virtual assistances from different countries reaching out to me over the following days.
I had Jonathan’s cell, I could text him and whenever and when things started to progress I started working with his wonderful assistant, Alex who is amazing to work with.
This is my first lemon, it’s a stressful experience that no one deserves to go through. Rest assured you’ll be in good hands with Jonathan & Alex. I got every dollar back + legal fees.

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.

What a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Can Do for You
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer, often referred to as a litigation lawyer, specializes in handling legal conflicts between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These lawyers represent clients in civil lawsuits, helping to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court. They can assist with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, property disputes, business conflicts, personal injury claims, and more.
If you are involved in a legal conflict and need representation, a dispute lawyer can guide you through the litigation process - from filing or defending against a lawsuit to negotiating settlements or representing you at trial.
When Should I Hire a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer when you're involved in a legal disagreement that cannot be resolved informally and may require legal action. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Breach of contract: If someone has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Whether it's a partnership disagreement, shareholder conflict, or a dispute with a supplier or customer, a lawyer can help resolve business-related issues.
- Property disputes: If you're involved in a dispute over property ownership, boundary issues, or landlord-tenant conflicts, a lawyer can assist in resolving the matter.
- Personal injury claims: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a lawyer can represent you in a personal injury lawsuit.
- Debt collection or defense: If you're being sued for unpaid debts or need to collect a debt owed to you, a lawyer can represent you in court or negotiate settlements.
- Employment disputes: If you're involved in an employment-related dispute, such as wrongful termination or discrimination, a lawyer can help you file a claim and represent you in court.
- Defending against a lawsuit: If you've been sued, a lawyer can defend you against the claims, challenge the evidence, and negotiate a settlement or represent you at trial.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your case is properly managed and that your rights are protected throughout the dispute resolution process.
What Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Do?
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients navigate legal conflicts and seek resolution. Their tasks typically include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing the facts and evidence to determine the strength of your case or defense and advising you on the best course of action.
- Filing lawsuits or responding to lawsuits: If you're the plaintiff, the lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you're the defendant, they will respond to the lawsuit and build a defense strategy.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting and reviewing evidence such as contracts, emails, financial records, and witness statements to support your case.
- Handling negotiations: Negotiating with the opposing party to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial, which can save time and money.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case in court if a settlement cannot be reached, including presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments on your behalf.
- Exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Suggesting mediation or arbitration as alternatives to a trial, which can be faster and less expensive.
- Drafting legal documents: Preparing and filing necessary legal documents such as complaints, motions, and responses, as well as drafting settlement agreements if a resolution is reached.
How Are Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyers Paid?
The fee structure for lawsuit or dispute lawyers varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of dispute, and the lawyer's experience. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Many lawsuit lawyers charge by the hour, especially for cases that require extensive preparation, research, and trial work. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fee: In certain cases, such as personal injury or breach of contract claims, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case, usually taking a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as filing a simple lawsuit or representing you in mediation, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: In complex cases or long-term litigation, a lawyer may ask for a retainer, which is an upfront payment to secure their services. The lawyer will then bill against the retainer as they work on the case.
Discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how fees will be handled throughout the case.
