I don’t know where to start…. With what I’ve been through in life with medical then I had a fall that I wished never happened. Matt and his team went above and beyond the entire process. They cared they listened they heard me and they proved it with my settlement. Hearing Matt speak at my mediation I was beyond impressed I knew right then this man is a beast!!! He got me a settlement that I never thought I’d get and it’s all because he truly cared and stood for me and what was right!!! He is in it not to just win but to understand what exactly what I had to go through and will continue to go through forever. I highly recomend Matt in any of your cases. Matt once again thank you for me this is life changing and I can now feel a sign of relief I’m still in shock!!!!outstanding work and thank you again so much….

It is with great pleasure and admiration, that I highly recommend Ms. Dawn Alba attorney-at-law for her exceptional work in handling my case/legal matters.
What should have been a minor grievance quickly escalated into what might’ve been a disaster. After feeling overwhelmed, I immediately contacted Ms. Alba’s law office where she personally answered my call.
She patiently listened to my case and without hesitation, examined the facts, then diligently went to work.
By the end of that day, she was able to masterfully prepare an exceptional plan/strategy that would ultimately lead to my victory.
Her confidence/expertise in her field was a pleasure to witness.
I am forever grateful for her unwavering ability to work tirelessly
on my behalf ….
making sure I was always treated with dignity and finally in the end made to feel whole.
I now believe that there are
“Forever Angels” sent down from above….

I left at several messages and even asked the receptionist to relay what was the issue if anything. No response. And my documentation was not even returned. Would not recommend this firm.

Michael Spotts has been my attorney for the past 6 years and I would highly recommend him. I have consulted with Michael on numerous occasions and when I needed direct representation he was my first choice. He handled my matter with knowledge, skill and character. I always felt that he had my best interests firmly in sight. His work was impeccable.

Should Michael Spotts agree to serve as legal counsel on your behalf, you will be afforded representation from a conscientious attorney whose loyalty and dedication to your cause will be unquestionable.
He not only practices those attributes, he is also knowledgeable in the law and possesses extensive litigation and trial experience.
The highest recommendation I can give him is the fact that he acts in the best interest of the client, rather than himself.
I learned the hard way many attorneys prefer to practice endless litigation, rather than settle a dispute. Michael is not of that ilk. He will use his best efforts to find a proper resolution to your case as expediently as possible.
I would be remiss should I fail to also disclose he provided all of the things mentioned above, on my behalf, and charged me fairly for his services in the process.
I have no reservation about giving Michael Spotts my highest recommendation. He certainly earned it!

Kibbey and Jason my family can't thank you enough for being our Angels. I told my husband early on that you all were appointed by God to fight this battle for my family. There were days I didn't want to leave my home because my family and I were being followed, I felt as if I were being harassed all because my husband an Osceola County Deputy was wrongly accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, theft of government funds, and aggravated identity theft in a scheme to obtain fraudulent federal income tax refunds. I felt as if my life was ending. These great men looked my husband and I in the eyes and said we will fight until the end. Titus we Promise you we will fight with all of our being and they did. On December 5, 2015 at 8:09pm 13 jurors walked into the courtroom with their heads held high and came to an agreement that my husband is Not Guilty! Not Guilty was read 3 times and all could hear in the room was my husband Cry Out Before The Amazing God We Serve Thank You God...Thank You God! Judge Walker could have stopped reading and asked my husband to end his Cry however he zoned it out and continued to read Jury instructions, thanked the jury, and the attorneys. My husbands friend sat next to me as I cried and mumbled Thank You God over and over again. As you know here are only 12 Jurors during a Federal Trial however during my husbands week long trial my father passed away! Kibbey and Jason remined me that my dad was going to be the Angel in the room as the jurors deliberated. I say my dad was the Foreman. Thank you daddy, I love you for giving your life so my husband can be Free!
If you are looking for attorneys with Intergrity and Poise please hire Richard Kibbey and Jason Wander. I also want to thank the investigators, their assistants, and most of all their families for sharing them with us these past 4 grueling years.
Our families, friends and prayer warriors we could not have done this without you all. God we will forever praise you for keeping us when we couldn't keep ourselves.

Mr. Guzi is highly knowledgeable and takes the time to think about the small details not just the big picture. Sometimes attorneys may forget to take the time and listen to the client to understand their needs and goals in regards to their case but also will give you realistic expectations. Would absolutely recommend Mr. Guzi to anyone in the future.

I had an issue with a contractor who had done some work incorrectly that needed to be repaired. They clearly let me know that they were not financially responsible for the issue. Scott was in contact with the company and helped them see their responsibility. Within a week of his contacting them, I had a check for the repairs. I would highly recommend Scott for his knowledge and expertise.

I have been represented by Mr. Ponsoldt in two separate cases with excellent results. The first case was settled out of court thanks to his unique suggestions that allowed both parties to benefit. The second case culminated in a two week jury trial that Mr. Ponsoldt won and allowed me to close a very painful chapter in my life. Mr. Ponsoldt and his staff were always supportive and honest and created a very trusting relationship. I would highly recommend Mr. Ponsoldt to anyone.

Mr. Ponsoldt has been our counsel for 20 plus years, we have had several attorneys working on other cases however He gets the job done correctly and understands what our mission is on each case and keeps us in check. The firm has been there for us when he has not been available in emergencies and the staff is knowledgeable and professional.
Clearly i would recommend Ponsoldt and his firm, as a contractor, he has sought the relief we were entitled to and prevailed.

He is very courteous, very professional, patient with clients and the cases he handles.

As someone who worked with him and has seen him first hand, I would highly recommend him!

Even though Mr. Fischer did not practice law with regards to HOA disputes, he took the time twice to speak to us.

VERY HELPFUL & KNOWLEDGEABLE!

Hi, My name is Kristine.
1 year ago I had 2 unexpected major surgeries and 2 ER visits.
This situation put me in a heugh financial dilemma on which is how I came to call on the office of Randall Fischer.
Karen and I spoke, we met with Randall and developed a game plan for my overwhelming circumstances. I had "no" idea what I was getting into, but, it was made aware to me right away that I was in the right hands. After a very long time {because to the covid and the courts being closed} my date and court case was handled and done.
Randall, Karen and Cory will be on my radar in the future forever for all the help and peace of mind they have given me,
The process was stressful but, they made it easier in the sense that I felt love on. Randall and Karen coached me through every step. When the actual time came for me to answer all those questions I was ready. I hope that I or any one else for that matter has to deal with a Chapter 7, BUT, if do make sure you call on this team.

I am so happy Mr. DeSantis was recommended to me!
Started going through a horrible divorce with a narcissist, ended up with a criminal case that Mr. DeSantis navigated beautifully and got the state to drop the case.
My ex husband hates Mr. DeSantis and I believe that is the best thing in the world. Chris fought for me and my child when I felt like we were being taken advantaged.
I now have full parental custody and over 78% physical custody.
Even now after my cases are closed, Chris still answers the random text question from me.
Christopher DeSantis is a bull dog and I will recommend him time and time again.

To have a lawyer who is a pitbull, goes without saying. Chris is an absolute man of his word, full of knowledge and knows exactly what it takes to get your outcome.

Honesty, integrity, determined, dedicated but even more, he listens and speaks the truth, sympathize with you, yet paints the reality. Chris is my go-to always.

My husband Gary Hoskins and I had a very difficult case involving our granddaughter and TPR.
It is not easy for grandparents to win a case involving TPR and children. Grandparents do not have any rights to their grandchild in the state of Florida.
We went through the most difficult and extremely serious battle and I thank God to Bill Hess who fought for our grandchild as if it were his own.
When choosing Bill Hess, we had spoken with several ( 7) other attorneys that handle these types of cases and every single one of them gave me the SAME EXACT info and informed us of our rights and what they could do in court for us, which was actually not much.
We were given Bill Hess's name by someone who knew him and watched him in court..they told me, if...IFFFF YOU WANT TO WIN, YOU MUST GET WILLIAM HESS!
He knows the LAW like NO OTHER ATTORNEY OK!
everything we were told by all 7 attorneys prior to him was VERY WRONG and, in 2 weeks Bill Hess had us a party to the case( which all 7 attorneys told us was impossible by the way) and he ran the case and court room!
He saved a 4 year olds LIFE!
I'll be honest with you...Bill Hess is pure integrity and he pulls no punches! He never gave us false hope..and we were doing well in our 3 day trial and still...he gave me a 51% chance to win! I couldnt even get 52% from him after a great day in court and he said, "we had a great day today in court"
He will not tell you you're going to win! But lol lol lol HESS DOESN'T LIKE TO LOSE AND THOSE WORDS SAID IT ALL TO MY HUSBAND AND I..WE HIRED HIM AT THAT MOMENT!
I HAVE NO WORDS BUT TEARS OF GRATITUDE AND..THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I'll go further..we won in the lower courts but right after we won...We went straight to appeal!
This took close to a year but once again, Bill Hess won that too!
I'll go one step further, this attorney not only knows the law but knows exactly who and what he is dealing with ...every word he said was going to happen....DID!
He is the most amazing attorney I have met since my own dad who passed 25 years ago.
If you have the most difficult case...
IF YOU HAVE ANY CHANCE TO WIN...YOU MUST HAVE BILL HESS.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU WILL WIN BUT I CAN FOR SURE SAY...
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING WITHOUT HIM!
THANK YOU BILL FOR THIS ALL, THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR LITTLE ONES LIFE
AND MARYANN...WHO IS BILLS RIGHT HAND AS SHE DOES SO MUCH IN THAT OFFICE AND IT RUNS BECAUSE OF HER..
THANK YOU MARYANN FOR YOUR HEART AND ALL YOU DID TO HELP.

Mr. Hess isn't afraid to go up against this corrupt system. His overall knowledge of how DCF operates gave us the first glimmer of hope since my grandson had been kidnapped by DCF on 2/27/14. The public 'pretender' did NOTHING to get my grandson back even though DCF committed perjury to remove him. As soon as Mr. Hess came on board, he got the ball rolling and left no stones unturned. If it hadn't been for his expertise & 'plan of attack' I'm not so sure we would have gotten my grandson 'saved' from this very corrupt system. He was truly a God send!

If you have a complex case, lost your faith in the judiciary or the system or have had past experiences of prejudice or ineffective counsel leaving you doubtful of ever finding that one attorney, who will fight for your cause, demand fairness and willing to go the distance? Your search is over. You can not find better representation. Counsel Williams, along with Tina restored our faith in the process and our entire family, will stand on these words. "You will not be disappointed" What a blessing! Thanks Again, Williams Law, P. L.

This is very difficult to write a negative review.

Update: Take ownership Mike; no excuses! My wife and I had an unfortunate experience with Crary Buchanan regarding the handling of our case. The firm fired my wife as a client simply because I requested to speak to the managing partner Mr. Mike Crary pertaining to the poor communication we received from our attorney Jeff Saunders; he was not attentive and almost impossible to communicate with directly. He misrepresented the case to the defendants which possibly undermined our position. My feeling is this firm loves personal injury cases and smaller paying clients do not receive the attention they deserve as protected by legal standards. I strongly advise against using their services.

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.
