Divorce can be a daunting experience, especially for men. Justin's knowledge and experience in family law made the process much smoother. His guidance during negotiations was particularly helpful, and I felt confident that my children's best interests were being protected at all times. I walked away with the best possible outcome and appreciated his hard work.

I can’t recommend Sara Dicks at Toney Law Firm highly enough! She guided my family through the complex process of handling my grandfather’s estate with such professionalism, care, and expertise. Sara made what could have been a stressful time so much easier by breaking everything down into clear steps and ensuring all details were handled with precision.
Now, as she helps me with my own estate planning, I continue to be impressed by her knowledge and attention to detail. She listens, understands my goals, and creates plans tailored to my needs. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable estate planning attorney, Sara is the one to call!

Jack Fine took care of my auto accident with ease. In my most stressful moments, FFP made sure I was receiving great medical treatment while my case was being handled. I would recommend Jack Fine to anyone who was in an accident that they were not responsible for!

When I decided to divorce my ex she pulled something disgusting and low landing me in the crosshairs of the law for the first time in my life. Hiring Andy was the best decision I have ever made. He not only carried me thru this ordeal but did so with patience, superior knowledge of the law, above and beyond customer service, and professional excellence. It’s stressful enough to get arrested and dealing with courts and police but hiring Andy was a godsend for someone who deals with anxiety on a daily basis. If something happens to you or you are in legal trouble do yourself and your family a favor and choose Andy, you will NOT regret it for a second. Oh and if he gives you a thumbs up while you are in court you won 😉

In April of 2022, I was arrested for defending my home and property from a subject who was refusing to leave my residence. Upon my release, I first tried to handle the matter through the Public Defender's Office. Weeks went by with no sort of contact and it did not appear as though the Public Defender had my best interests in mind. After enough frustration, I finally contacted the Dunham & Ingram Office and I wish I had done it sooner! Mr.Ingram acted swiftly and professionally. He reassured me and helped dispel any concerns I had. He also went through with me and explained step by step how the process would go. When I sent emails to his office or called them on the phone, there was always a friendly voice on the other side that was willing to speak to me. Mr.Ingram responded to my emails promptly and timely on every occasion. Mr.Ingram conducted his research of my case and found that I acted within accordance of the law and subsequently filed a "Motion to Dismiss". Within 3 days, the state attorney's office had dismissed all of the charges against me. Andy did more to help me within a week, than the public defender did within a month. If you find yourself in a terrible situation like I did, call Mr.Ingram. This is your life and livelihood at risk. I can't thank him enough for the services he offered to me.

Being in the accident was stressful, but they made everything after easier. Sophie Schwartz held my hand through the whole thing and didn’t laugh at me when I asked for my case number for the 10 time. She took care of the stuff I was too overwhelmed to handle- like finding a doctor and a repair place. And she replied promptly to my questions with exactly the answer I needed.
Professional, on the ball and a wonderful team environment. Glassman and Zissimopulous are fantastic lawyers.
Highly recommend!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experiences regarding being a client at Glassman and Zissimopulos with John Kelly as my attorney. This time in my life was easily the most traumatic and terrifying experience in my life. I was arrested and falsely accused in an effort to take my freedom and my baby away from me for good. It was initially successful until John Kelly came into the case. Even with the trauma and shock I was immediately put at ease with Mr Kelly’s presence and calm professional demeanor. He clearly knows and understands the law and I learned a lot as this case moved forward for a grueling several weeks. My life and the lives of my family hung in the balance while my whole family struggled with the injustice that was done to me and my children. Mr Kelly did not rush our meetings and took the time to educate and assure me of the plan moving forward. The first time seeing him in action in court in front of the judge was truly impressive. Even with all the uncertainty I became aware as my fate hung in the balance that it was all going to be ok. I cannot thank this man enough for all his efforts, hard work and knowledge in the law. I will be eternally grateful. Laurissa Cardona

I am extremely grateful to Ben and his team for representing our son at the highest level.
He handled our cas with incredible grace, attention to detail, and with the utmost care. A true reflection of the professionalism of their seasoned team. Ben helped our family navigate a challenging time by always keeping us informed, prepared, and aware of all possible outcomes. He provided sound council, even when it was hard news to deliver.
We trust Ben implicitly. When emergency situations arrived, Ben was always accessible. During a period of uncertainty, having that peace of mind meant the world to our family. I admire Ben's composure, work ethic and most of all, his excellent representation.

You could not find a better lawyer to work with in Ben's area of expertise. Ben is honest, straight forward, savvy, and a great steward with money. Needing a lawyer occurs at a low point for most individuals and families. You should not have to worry about great representation. Ben is an experienced lawyer that will help you navigate all the angles of a very complicated process to achieve the most optimal outcome. Sadly, we have had Ben represent us many times to the best outcomes possible given the situation. I cannot truly express how grateful we have been for Ben's counsel.

My experience with Bobi J. Frank and her team was superb. I found myself in whirlwind last year with a charge that ended up destroying my reputation, career, and at times, I believed, my life. Bobi and her team, which included attorney Erica Hay at the time, were the perfect combination of care, compassion, and tenacity. Each of these elements were needed and necessary to resolve my case. Bobi and Erica, from the very moment we met, knew exactly what we needed to do and utilized their professional relationships and resources with me to help build my defense, which were crucial to the outcome. Beyond a miracle of having the charges dropped against me, I could not have asked for a better outcome that Bobi was able to obtain for me, especially in light of all that surrounded my case. Bobi is no-nonesense, and when you are dealing with a legal matter, this is exactly the kind of person you want fighting for you. Bobi and Erica went above and beyond in many ways to help not only myself, but also provided great support and advice for my family so that the event we were dealing with did not completely unravel, nor destroy us. I say this without hyperbole, I am grateful to God for Bobi J. Frank, Erica Hay, and the rest of her team and without reservation, highly recommend them for your legal needs.

I can honestly say, hiring Bobi J Frank PA as my attorney, was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. She was truly a blessing to have by my side during one of the darkest situations of my life.
While working with her, Bobi made me feel like I was her ONLY client. Bobi and her team were responsive, patient and understanding.
She took, what could have been, a very unpleasant experience and made it an extremely positive one.
If you are in need of legal representation, do yourself a favor and contact her right away!
Thank you Bobi! For everything.

Mr. Nieson heard my "story" about issues I had with a general contractor behind schedule, as well as, issues regarding permits and an insurance claim. I took over 30 minutes. He listened, then he took less than 15 minutes to identify the key issues from a legal standpoint and action steps that could take to remedy the situation myself. I had a consultation. If I need any help, I would definitely hire him. I felt at ease in his office with his friendly manner. I also felt confident in his knowledge and expertise regarding general contractors and resources provided by the city.

I am the owner of a shopping center in Florida. I had hired an attorney to represent me in a faulty roof installation case. The suit was going nowhere, so i hired Don to represent me in the case. He was able to obtain a settlement that not only allowed me to install a new roof but I received reimbursement for legal fees. Additionally, my daughter was being sued for misrepresentation about the condition of her roof when she sold her Orlando home. After two years of working with two other attorneys in an effort to settle the suit i suggested that she contact Don. She did employ him and, as in my case, Don settled the case in a relatively short period of time and my daughter was very satisfied with the result. I cannot say enough about Don's ability and professionalism in handling both cases and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Stephanie Emrick is a fantastic lawyer and I cannot say enough good things about her. Not only is Stephanie very well educated, but she is also detail oriented and bright, which in my opinion is why she is so successful. She is an expert in her field of real estate law and easements. For me, litigation against a government entity was a very daunting task, as the government has an endless legal budget. However, Stephanie Emrick successfully litigated our easement case against Alachua County in Florida with 21 months of hard work. We were so lucky to have stumbled upon her and are forever grateful for everything she has done for us.

I hired Stephanie to handle a matter for my Company. She was intelligent, knowledgeable, and an excellent negotiator. On top of all that, she had the business acumen to provide more than just legal input. She has an amazing grasp on everyday business principles, something rare in an attorney.
I've recommended Stephanie to multiple acquaintances, and each time they've echoed these same thoughts.

I needed an Attorney to assist me with review of an employment contract. Ryan was very responsive and went above and beyond to assist me in completing this task. Since the negotiation process happened rather quickly, his review of the draft employment agreement was very helpful in identifying problem areas. His suggestions and recommendations led to key changes in the agreement.
In the future I would not hesitate to contact Ryan and use him without any reservations. I truly appreciated his prompt response, quick turn around, and attention to details that might have otherwise been missed.

Ryan was able to negotiate a buyout agreement in a difficult situation. I attempted to negotiate it myself and soon found that it was not going to be possible. I contacted Ryan and he took me through several steps to complete the buyout. He was thorough and pleasant to work with.
If the need arises, Ryan is the attorney I will contact.

Highly recommend this firm from the front office to the legal team. You can expect A+ representation. Casey Harrison represented my sister and I in an unfortunate family situation surrounding my parents, estate. It was a highly charged, highly emotional situation. Casey remained unbelievably unflappable, patient and was very sensitive to our financial restrictions. He never took us down a long, winding expensive road when it did not make fiscal sense. He was empathetic, respectful, and effective as could be under the circumstances. I am glad we did not go this alone, and would hire Casey Harrison again in a heartbeat.

I am writing this on behalf of my close friend who needed some help.
We needed to file a motion with the court for an urgent manner. It was on a Friday and it was the Friday before the week of Thanksgiving....Well if you know anything about the court systems or judges they do not usually move very quickly nor do they handle matters on Friday's. Especially not the weekend before the holidays. I reached out to Miles Kinsell and his WONDERFUL paralegal Libby picked up the phone right away. I briefly explained my situation and she told me she would call me back. Her and Miles made a few phone calls and the next thing I know we had a signed approval by the judge in less than 24 HOURS!!! If you only knew how quick Miles and his group work you would never choose another attorney again. They get the job done. Oh and I have seen Miles in action in the courtroom and all I can say is.....absolute Bulldog would not want anyone else in my corner. Thank you Miles and Libby...you guys are wonderful!!

I can't pass up an opportunity to rave about Mike Barbarette. From day one, he was 'on top of things. He always communicated very quickly. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and honest, with great integrity. Mr. Barbarette operated, taking great care, swiftly, as if I were a family member - this is how I felt, anyway. I am extremely impressed with his dedication, integrity, knowledge, and perseverance - truly, the list goes on!! Then, Mike handled a situation, unrelated to the purpose for which he was hired, that arose unexpectedly, "as a courtesy". I mean, who does that? In addition, I contacted him, wanting to hire him (willing to pay whatever it took) to handle a task for me. Instead, he told me exactly what I could do and how to do it. He actually took the time to call me back after I left a message with my request. Mr. Barbarette went above and beyond - I am overwhelmed with gratitude because of his demonstration of compassion, skill, fast and effective communication, and an overall 'aggressiveness approach' in making things happen, fast! Thank you Mike and team!!! I will be forever grateful 😊

Kevin Quirk is by far the BEST attorney in Gainesville. He has been helped me with several charges. Many of which he got sealed, dropped, and reduced for me. It’s obvious he has a great relationship with the Gainesville court. Years later, he has still been a phone call away from giving me advice on my future endeavors. When you speak to him, it’s almost as if you’ve known him for decades. He’s kind, trustworthy, and looks after you!
Kevin, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

I had her represent me in a divorce case. We had an agreement of $7500 retainer until she did the discovery and found out I could afford much more. Then hours started to accumulate.
We end up in court and she choked. For all the hours I laid her reviewing the QA in court, she gets there and forgets everything. At times opposing council laughed at her. I was forced to settle because I was going to lose big. My court was a 4 days long and on day two she realized her under performance and told me via phone and text I have to come to court the next day with an $80,000 check or she will ask the judge to get off my case. She got paid. To this point I was never late for a payment and the escrow account per agreement was always at $7500 on the start of the month. She couldn’t even justify the need for that much money other than she said she needed it for the hours she will putting in for the court. Where in the world do you have to pay for hours not yet logged?
I didn’t know any better then, but I’m now in process of complaining to the Bar for this misconduct. I hope they disbar her. She screwed my trial royally. I could have performed better than her and I’m not even a lawyer. At least I would remember to cross question the opposing witnesses. Don’t make the same mistake I did and get an informed lawyer.

From the start, Kelly was professional and confident. She took the time to learn the facts and hear what we had to say. She was very fair with how she charged for her time, but did thorough research and, despite our unusual case, came to litigation ready with strong case law. We got the result we wanted and needed for the safety of our kids. We would absolutely hire her again.

Did not bother to return a single call, or email (MULTIPLE SENT) Part of their practice is debt collection and I guess if you fall into that category- no matter the reason- you are not worth communicating with. Find someone who has basic compassion for other humans.

The Tax LL.M. program was a great experience. Professor Steven J. Willis and Professor Dennis Calfee are two of the greatest tax minds in the country, and can hold their weight internationally. If you are on the fence about UF/NYU/GT/etc., they are all good schools but the advice I was given by UF alum and NYU alum that I know personally who went before me was to pick UF specifically to study under them and it was well worth it.

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.
