My name is Janice and I experienced a very bad car accident in February 2024. I met the team at Attorney Cytryn in Coral Springs Florida and everything was super easy afterwards. The dedication from Attorney Dan and everyone at his office offered me piece of mind navigating the medical process to the settlement. I did not had to worry about all the details especially when trying to feel better both physically and mentally.
Great group of professionals!

I had the pleasure of working with Richard during my recent divorce, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From our very first consultation, Richard displayed a level of professionalism and compassion that immediately put me at ease.
He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained the entire process in a way that was easy to understand. His knowledge of family law was evident, and he provided invaluable guidance at every step.
Richard was always responsive, promptly answering my questions and keeping me informed about my case. It was reassuring to know I could reach out to him anytime I needed support.
I wholeheartedly recommend Richard and his assitant Barbara!

My experience was Richard Gaines law office was as expected. This is my second time when Richard Gaines and his team helped me with divorce cases. When happened this time, I didn’t have other thoughts, then give him a call. Efficiency and great sense of empathy is what you get if you have Richard Gaines on your site. Great communication is his amazing quality. He made me feel protected during this difficult period. The outcome was satisfactory. Thank you very much for your service!!!

Updated:
John reached out to me and helped make things right. His company was going through a transition in their communications systems and things weren't going as smoothly as they had hoped. The team quickly completed my filing and has been very responsive now that we have a way to get in touch with each other. 4/5 because I still did fall through the cracks, but I feel like we are in a good position going forward.
Original:
I have been unimpressed by their ability to communicate and act in an organized manner. I'm months into a patent application process with them and I can't seem to get over the finish line. Messages go unanswered, deadlines missed, and an overall lack of concern. A disappointment so far. We'll see if I get to update this with anything positive, but now that all my payments have gone through I'm sure I'm not a priority.

I have brought up a tough case to almost 20 realestate and forclosure attorney's in the past week to get an advice , Margery Ellen Golant was the ONLY attorney who took time to look at this issue, and answered every issue arising from this difficult matter, even all other attorney turned away from such case.I will definitly recomend her to anyone seeking excelence and dedication to their issue.

If you truly want to save your home from foreclosure, you need Margery Golant on your side. Her wealth of knowledge about the mortgage industry is incredible and she will fight for you with every bit of that knowledge. I do not think we would still be in our home today had it not been for Ms. Golant’s tenacity and the fact that she cares deeply about her clients and their ability to remain in their homes. I cannot put into words how much I admire and appreciate her. I would most highly recommend her.

Many, many nights laying there next to my wife, shaking instead of sleeping.
The feeling of abject failure and the loss of so many years of work and dreams.
My initial mind set when I got behind on my mortgage was “I didn’t pay and I deserve to get foreclosed”. It certainly is a pretty straight line to that opinion. And you can rest assured that the so called judges in the Foreclosure Court, who are appointed, not elected, by and large believe this is true too. The long process of defending ourselves from the loss of our family home, which was the repository of every bit of our income (beyond consumables) for most of our lives, was an eye opening experience and some hard lessons about the law and in particular lawyers.
Lots of lawyers will line up to take your money, and as much of it up front as they can get you to pay. I have more than several acquaintances who paid eight thousand, ten thousand dollar retainers. This was quickly burned up on ticky tack back and forth with the bank/servicer and then they lost their homes. One leader in my scout troop found out she was going to auction 7 days before it happened and her family of 5 had to move in with her mother in law.
I’m here to tell you what you need is a Knight. On a Crusade. And that is who Margery Golant is to her clients. When she says: “I am personally disturbed to see consumers being taken advantage of…” she really means it and I have seen it many times in our long and SUCCESSFUL battle to not be foreclosed. Ms Golant had 3 judges disqualified from our case for public comments they had made that clearly showed the bias so prevalent in Foreclosure Court. She had our case removed from the Foreclosure division and put in Civil, where the judges answer to the voters, and care that the decisions they make are legally valid. She had the Service of the foreclosure thrown out 6 times. She fought a brilliant war of counter tactics and strategy that went on for well over 9 years. It seems crazy looking at it written here. Meanwhile my kids grew up in their home and thrived. Words can’t express our gratitude and if you are in this terrible situation, believe a survivor that this is your best choice for representation.

I'm a middle aged guy. I only mention that because no matter how optimistic your point of view, the margin of error for mistakes in judgement shrinks as you get older. It's like a pilot who couldn't successfully get out of a stahl, just because he was too close to the ground. He knew what to do, but there just wasn't enough time to recover (I fly a Cesna 152).
I recently signed a contract to sell my house. In the weeks prior to the closing date, I got a sobering understanding of the state of the real estate market. Houses were absurdly expensive. Sure I sold my house for good money. But now what ? Too late though, I signed a binding contract. Can't get out of this stahl, not this time. The buyer was paying cash, and already had $250K in the escrow. This is as a done deal, right ? As it turns out on the day of closing, there was a discrepancy or misunderstanding on the buyers side, which my very astute escrow attorney pointed out. I was referred to attorney Richard Gaines. Since time was of the essence, he was communicating with my escrow agent and buyers attorney within the hour. That same day, he wrote a detailed email complete with contractual references. The buyers attorney had our very well written position within a couple of hours the day of the closing. I was impressed with my attorneys swift analysis, strategy and execution. By the end of the week, I was released from the contract and got my house back ! I highly recommend Richard Gaines as a skilled and effective advocate in time of need.

Choosing Mr. Tyrone Latour was one of the best decisions we made. He came highly recommended. His dedication to our case was unwavering, and his thoroughness ensured no stone was left unturned. Not only is he highly intelligent and thorough in his approach, but his deep knowledge of the law was evident throughout the process. He answered all our questions and kept us well informed and up to date. Most of all what truly stood out was his steadfast commitment to his Christian values, guiding us with integrity and compassion every step of the way. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Latour for anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.”

We happened upon Attorney Latour during the mortgage crisis after we were exhausted and about to give up, and after numerous lawyers had already taken advantage of us. However, we quickly discovered that Attorney Latour was different. He showed sincere interest in helping us save our home instead of grabbing at our money. We still live in our home today! Since then, Attorney Latour has successfully represented us in various legal matters including lead pipes, and family law. Attorney Latour's character, knowledge of law, and strong conviction in GOD has made him our go-to lawyer. He is articulate in digging and finding solutions and peace. We have, and will continue to refer our friends and family to Attorney Latour.

I was overseas and couldn’t communicate with my mortgage company. I was really worried because I was behind on payments. A lawyer friend referred me to Mr. Latour and he helped me right away without asking all the logistics. His first concerns was to help me then ask questions later. I felt so relieved that someone was able to help me find peace of mind. I will refer him to anyone for anything anytime.

Harley was recommended to me while I was in the middle of a sticky situation. I don't think I could possibly express my gratitude in words. Harley is friendly, professional, timely, and an all around great human being. It was quite obvious from the moment he introduced himself that he has compassion, strong ethics, and that he treats everyone he speaks to with the utmost respect. He was willing to consult with a colleague to put together the most thoughtful and reasonable argument possible; and it was quite clear he did his due diligence while drafting my letter. While I hope not to have a need for an attorney in the future, I'd be happy to be represented by Harley again!!

Mr. Rosenberg handled my prickly mood with tact and direct information. I'm going through a very traumatic time, though it might not seem big to others, it's a major crisis for me. I was feeling very frustrated trying to get information I needed to move forward, and Mr. R. gave me what I needed. I certainly don't like the situation I'm in, however, I was given firm, clear direction that I appreciated.

When all the other attorney's who I called, turned me down, Scott Silver took my case and won it for me. He was amazing - always in communication so that I was informed and understood everything that was going on including what step we were going to take next, timely updates which is so vital, always able to be reached should I have a question. Basically, Scott went above and beyond to help me...he's definitely not the standard attorney but one who actually honors his commitment. Thank you, Scott for all you did for me. Knowing you were in charge, gave me such a great relief despite such a very stressful situation. I appreciate you!

Please be aware of this lawyer. I used on September 2021 for my car accident. I called several times. He disappeared. One year past since my accident I went to his office to ask about my case he said there is not case sorry. I told him why nobody called me?. I requested all the final documentation. He never gave me anything. Why did he never give me the final documents?
Very unprofessional Andres Lopez and all his team of paralegals.
All the good reviews that he has is the family and friends.
The only thing that I have to say is may God bless them and change his heart.

I have known Sadiki for years and I have sought her legal advice from the first day we met. Whether it's divorce, child support, bankruptcy, accidents, etc. If she does not handle it, she will find you someone who does. She was a friend in the beginning, now she is family. It's just comforting to have a person like her in your corner in trying legal times because she cares and you will realize that when you meet her. Sadiki is a lawyer for the People, all People...

Mr. Bender was hired to carry out the eviction of a tenant who had not paid rent for several months. He was able to consult with me the very next morning after I called his office, and he fully explained the procedures to be followed as well as the timetable. The amount of his fee was reasonable and he got started on the case right away. The case was handled just as he said it would be and there were no surprises. The tenant was evicted within the time frame that Mr. Bender told me it would take. I was very pleased with Mr. Bender's legal talents and his personality. I want to add that he told me that although he was very experienced (more than thirty years) he could not guarantee or promise the result i wanted since there are many factors and circumstances that must be dealt with in each case and each case might be different from the one before or the one after. He told me that he firmly believed he could help me and he was right! The tenant was evicted within the time frame that Mr. Bender told me. Mr. Bender also told me that while he did practice in many areas, he did not do everything but that if I ever need legal work done that he did not do himself he would probably be able to refer me to someone else who could help me. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an experienced attorney who explains beforehand what is going to happen, when it should happen, and the pros and cons of doing things one way compared to another.

I trusted this lawyer to help me, but he treated me unfairly instead. I hired this firm in May of 2021 to help me with a mold problem. They submitted the civil suit September of 2022, and was final by November 2023. This lawyer showed no compassion towards my situation, and did not fight for what was deserved. Almost 2 months after the settlement, and I still haven’t received my check. This lawyer continues to ignore my calls and he has truly made this journey horrible for me. The time lost and mental distress that this has caused me is unfair, and it hurts to know that this lawyer just doesn’t care.

In my opinion, and based on my experience Scott Gelfand was the absolute WORST attorney I have ever hired. He was very nasty, arrogant, and quite frankly unbearable to deal with. He liked to boast about how great of an attorney he is, which in my opinion was a big fat lie based on the his poor results. I felt like he thought he was a legend in his own mind. I think he really should to look into the mirror, and admit how awful of a job he did and apologize. Bottomline, in my opinion, all he cared about was moving things along slowly, so that he could charge his wasteful fee's based on his terrible results!

When they felt weekness they withdrew from the case leaving me worse off then when we hired them.

There only speciality is deceipt and when things get tough they run the other way.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
