I hired Steve to modify my divorce agreement at the time of my retirement . He was able to settle the case at mediation before going to trial saving me tens of thousands of dollars and winning the case ending my alimony, an amazing accomplishment in Florida. Can’t thank him enough

This firm enjoys harassing local businesses. Mr. Adam Miller has been trying to enforce and invalid subpoena for the past 5 months. TRYING is the important word. His shortcomings with paperwork could mean the difference in your case. Use at your own risk!! I would not use an attorney who cant even force someone to produce the evidence needed to defend you or win your case.

Gray Robinson of Gary Rabin Attny: Have had only positive experience with every body at this Law Firm. They are always polite, quick to return my call & are always willing to work through any problem I might have. I would recommend them & have to many people.

Truly robbed me and did absolutely nothing to help my case but took all my money. They put me in a worse position then I started out in and left me high and dry without funds to fight my case. She has endangered my children. I will never be the same

Thank you for your help, determination, courage, analytical skills and hard work. I appreciate that you never gave up on me or my case and you arranged mediation to resolve the matter quickly out of court. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone in need of a sound Attorny. Thank you again!

Sonica did the greatest disservice to myself and my children. Years out and the damage she did is still impacting my three children. Her interests lie in the in the fees she collects and men...without regard to what the situation truly is. She did not listen to my children regarding the abuse they were suffering at the hands of their father and to this day we are still learning more and more. I was charged thousands of dollars for her poor services and we are still paying in tears and pain. Thank you SO much Sonica for the disaster you perpetuated in my children's lives. We will NEVER forget you.

27 Dec, 2016 by Anonymous

I retained Sonica for a short lived marriage/divorce proceedings. From the moment I met her, she was honest and straight forward with me. Sonica cared about my case, returned all of my calls during my many long business travels all around the country, and answered every question and concern. All paperwork was handled in a very efficient manner, and I was assured not to worry. She even saved me money on my mediation process. I completely recommend Sonica Cinami to anyone who wants a bit bull in the courtroom and a divorce lawyer who actually cares about her clients’ well-being. Sonica will fight for you till the bitter end.

05 Aug, 2015 by Jean

I retained Sonica mid way through a very difficult divorce and custody battle. After my last attorney, she was a breath of fresh air. Sonica cared about my case, the welfare of my children and about me. She even handled an emergency for me when she was on vacation. Unlike my other attorney, she wasn't afraid to go to court to protect the children. The results speak for themselves: 1. My children are with me 80% of the time 2. I no longer have to pay child support ( We could not prove that my ex-husband business makes more than $4,000/year, she was able to impute his income to minimum wage) 3. The children now have their own beds when they visit their father. Before you obtain a lawyer, please ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do you want an attorney who is ethical? 2. Do you want an attorney that cares for your welfare and your children's welfare? 3. Do you want an attorney that isn't afraid of litigation? 4. Do you want an attorney that only charges your for services rendered and does not pad the bill? 5. Do you want an attorney who isn't afraid of hard work? If you answered yes to these questions, then you should consider setting up a consult with Sonica.

I met with Linda for a consultation regarding a dependency case. Linda immediately made me feel comfortable and she listened. She understood what I was going through, where I was coming from, and had knowledge and experience to go along with a great personality that made me laugh too. She gave me solid legal advice, but also common sense mom to mom advice which I appreciate. The consultation fee was reasonable and she spent over an hour with me which I didn’t expect. I felt she was real, honest and took pride in helping people and knowing the law. I know who I would recommend or hire myself if I needed a family or dependency attorney.

I had fought the court system in Florida for 10 years and 10 months to remove my daughter from a harmful environment. The judges refused to grant me custody because I was in the Army and that is "unstable". My daughters mother is drug addicted and has no home but was considered stable. I had a very hard time even though it seemed I was the best choice. Mrs. Lorrier took my difficult case and helped me more than I could have asked for. To me she did not look at me as a client or for a business end, she looked at me as a father and she truly cared. I could not have asked for a more caring and dedicated lawyer and I can say I consider her family now. She devoted time and love into getting my family whole and keeping my daughter safe. If you feel no one cares and you have no options, you must speak with Mrs. Lorrier before you accept defeat.

As a board member of a preservationist non profit, I have seen Reed argue very well and prevail in difficult circumstances. In two cases I was party to, he was alone facing several highly paid attorneys on the other side. Reed made by far the most convincing case and won in front of the judge both times. When working for my late father, Reed was attentive and kind in preparing a will.

17 Dec, 2018 by Anonymous

We had a difficult legal challenge and Stuart rose to the occasion to help navigate complex legal issues and protect our interests. I highly recommend Stuart Reed, Esq for his legal services, professionalism, and skill in presenting the best case for his clients in court and also particularly when cross-examining witnesses. His legal briefs are well-formed and he is always available to answer any questions that we had. Do not go wrong: hire Stuart

I would give this so-called attorney a zero rating if I could. He was assigned as a bar attorney for my sister, who is African American, and did absolutely nothing to defend her. Despite her requests for specific motions to be filed, he completely ignored her and showed no interest in her case whatsoever. We recognize that being a black person in Brooksville was a contributing factor, but it is unacceptable to be there without anyone advocating for you. From the officers and sergeants at Hernando County Jail to the judge and prosecutors, it is evident that they are all racist. If you are black and find yourself in this county, I urge you to seek an attorney from a different county who genuinely cares. Do not entrust this individual with your life.

I want to address my gratefulness and appreciation for having met Kevin S. Rabin, Esq., Litigation Director for Three Rivers Legal Services. He provided incredible support and assistance in the matter of the settling a lawsuit about the sale of our principal residence in Suwannee County. Our case was not a simple one as the closing company failed to do its job (sending mortgagee payment minus 1 days interest) and the house, after being sold, was taken back by a foreclosure by way of the mortgagee (Sherrel McCall). She acted in bad faith for not receiving one days interest – and in turn was able to extort over $90,000 (he learned) from the title closing and insurance companies. Without TRLS assistance, we (my ex-wife and the author) would have been up the creek without a paddle as the title insurance company was now suing us for reimbursement of the extorted funds based off of a invalid premise that we did not provide a clear title at closing. With his invaluable guidance and assistance, we were able to settle the matter for a fraction of this amount and are able to breathe in the future knowing that your agreement settled the matter for good. I would highly recommend TRLS for professional, ethical and incredibly smart advise!

She did it in a very professional manner by setting clear expectations, talking with me through every step, as well as being transparent on the pricing which was super reasonable. In addition, she was always very supportive and understanding of my situation. She is a true expert in her field. Thank you, Joan!

16 May, 2023 by Scott hay

The most deceitful, dishonest, unethical human being I've ever met. Not only will she outright lie, she will go so far as to attack the children involved!! My Bible tells me that there is a special punishment reserved for those who do harm to children. A millstone & being tossed into the sea is mentioned specifically. This type of abusive behavior most certainly qualifies. She has no moral compass & will resort to the sleeziest methods just to win. Lying and manipulation are just part of who she truly is. I am personally filing an ethics complaint with the Florida Bar. If you value honesty & have an honest love of children and doing the right thing, avoid her at all costs.

Unfortunately i cannot report such an experience that others here report. I originally saw this office and its google rating and had high hopes to only be taken through a nightmare. I unfortunately was paired up with the "Associate" and not Gary Roberts -- perhaps that's where the issues lie. The attorney i was paired with was Tiffani Brown. After being assigned with this attorney i looked her up and saw that the area of my issue (HOA law) is basically her bread and butter. Having said that, this was far from the case as i had to constantly push her and Rebecca (whom was actually very nice the few times i talked to her on the phone). This issue with started with this attorney around the middle of July and is still not resolved to this day. I constantly had to call the office and ask about statuses and push them to act on things that were seemingly just sitting around. I had time-sensitive situations that Tiffani had no concern for. Another situation where i had requested for documents from HOA where after 10 business days i would be owed a minimum $50\day and she had no idea what i was talking about when i mentioned this, that this was even relevant to the situation, and when mentioned told me that she would essentially have to go look into it if it's even relevant or pertains to the situation -- it's cut and dry, and laid out in F.S 720 that if i request documents (meeting minutes) that i am owed those docs within 10 business days; it was going on 20! She had no urgency to push back on opposing counsel, AT ALL. I had to push her to do everything, feeding her Florida Statutes and Case Law all to no avail. I basically was doing all of the work, having to convince my own lawyer that is being paid by me, and also having to educate her on her own job, duty, and angles to approach. After finally having enough, i told her i would like to separate so that i can find another attorney that is actually going to advocate on my behalf and she sends me the most unprofessional separation\termination letter I've ever seen. it was essentially blaming me for everything and trying to make it seem as though my position is entirely unreasonable. Keep in mind, my position is that i am being denied the right to repair my driveway by my HOA's ARC committee for no reason what so ever but for unreasonable, seemingly retaliatory purposes. The HOA at the time was comprised of 3 people, it's since reduced from that due to this nonsense and the HOA president has gone to neighbor's within the community coercing them into signing paperwork to pass additional ARC requests despite not having actual ARC committee meetings or board quorum. I presume Gary is more professional and capable as i have not had the pleasure to work with him and reviews here seem to give praise, but Tiffani Brown is the one to avoid.

08 Jul, 2020 by Dreams, prophecy and visions

As of June/ July 2020- So far, so good. I was recommended to him by a colleague. Others suggested that I go with a "well-known" law firm since their reputation is better ( tv commercials, reviews, more cases, etc). My experience so far: He's personable, responds to emails and questions that may arise in a timely manner. He seems genuine. However, I will provide an update as my personal injury case (rear-ended by a habitual drunk driver who attempted to flee the scene and was arrested/ bodily injury/ etc.) moves forward as i was advised that the details are in the insurance of both parties. I'm thankful for my life which is priceless and precious, but I pray that he is able to use his 25+ years of experience to reach the maximum compensation. ***I will provide an update which is why I rated 3 stars at this time.

22 Jun, 2015 by Anonymous

John Sorkin did not handle my divorce well. I never felt comfortable with his legal advice and was getting billed for everything. He had a terrible rapport with my now ex wife's attorney that I felt was preventing a settlement. He failed to explain things well and was always asking me what I wanted to do. We went to mediation, the mediator was a friend of his who did nothing but insult me and tried to put me down questioning me why I need to see my children so much and spend so much time with them. The mediator did nothing but try to push my now ex wife's proposal on me telling me that a judge will never give me what I want. We spent 6 hours in mediation without settling on a single thing. The entire time in mediation, John never once spoke up for me to the mediator. After mediation, I expressed my confusion, frustration and discontent about the mediation and mediator at which time Mr. Sorkin basically said that's the way it goes. Shortly after the mediation, I ended up firing Mr. Sorkin and hiring a new attorney and my divorce was settled one month later thanks to my new attorney.

11 Jan, 2020 by Anonymous

I used this attorney and it was a horrible experience. The initial retainer fee was fair, but the excessive fees that were inflated to absorb the retainer was the biggest problem. I made numerous complaints to try to get the bill corrected, the firm manager refused to assist. The attorney agreed to remove some of the charges that were inflated, but not all, and charged me for my messages and calls to attempt to get the bill corrected, so I ended back with the same bill. It’s not worth using a lawyer like this. He charge you for things that you don’t even have access to, for example I was charged over $200 one day for the lawyer to communicate with the opposing counsel. That’s excessive. There was many excessive charges. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER!!!!

I used The Fab Law Firm to file my divorce and was quoted a price of 3,500 with a max price of 7,500 if we needed mediation. I paid the 7,500 upfront just in case. The case ended up not needing mediation because the ex-wife and I were able to reach an agreement on our own, which we sent to our lawyers to draft. In total I spoke with my point of contact less than 10 times on the phone and less than 20 times via email. I was charged over 6,500 dollars for the work because they charged me for every email they sent to me and or the other law firm, and at times sending multiple emails (conversations) and charging for each response. I am not sure of many of the items I was charged for because it was just shown as hours they logged for work done on my behalf. I really don't understand all of the work that was done because the ex and I wrote our own agreement and just needed it drafted into legal form and submitted. The lawyers in my case didn't negotiate or write any agreement on my behalf, they simply took the agreement the ex and I made and put it into form for the courts, submitted it, and we were done, but somehow my charges still reached over 6,000 when I was quoted 3,500 if we didn't need mediation. In addition I was giving access to a portal to communicate with them called CLIO, however they were very unresponsive and hard to contact there. My case closed July 16, 2024 and I am now waiting for a review before the remaining funds are returned to me. I was told that Felicia has 30 days to review the file before returning the retainer. However I spoke with them today (Sep 19, 2024) over 2 months after my case has closed and was told that she has now been tasked with doing the review but she hasn't got to it and doesn't have a date on when she can because she is busy. I am a entrepreneur myself and run multiple companies, which is why I feel that this is a completely unacceptable way to deal with a client. I don't usually write bad reviews but I do feel like people should be aware of my experience, and hopefully save them some of the trouble I've dealt with.

Listen,Listen,Listen. Do yourself a favor and stay FAR AWAY from this firm. This folks will lead you a stray and take all your money. They’ll provide you with very little help in your custody case and every step will require a 5K payment. Retainer 5k, mediation 5K, trial 5K. These folks will rob you blind and mislead you. Stay far away unless you got 20K to lose while they continuously threaten to drop you unless you pay up.

Only in it to take advantage of people regardless thier innocents. Told me the Judicial system just cares about processes and not justice. I am a Veteran on VA and Social Security Disability. He took all the money I had. I gave it to him up front and all he did was drag out the case for 8 months then sold me out for a plea deal because he thought I was not serious when I told him I only had the money I paid him in full up front. I had to get that $5500 from a Charity for Veterans that belived in my innocents. I still have to pay court costs which put money into funding victims of things I was not even charged with or convicted of being guilty. He can't defend your Constitutional rights. He can't defend your Declaration of Independence rights because the USA Government never made it a Lawful document. USA Independence, and individual sovereignty is a pipe dream lie which he profits from.

Very unprofessional and misleading!! Front desk hung up on me and wouldn’t answer the office phone. While on the phone continued to argue with me when all I asked was for a call back from Mr. Sellers who I’ve contacted for 2 weeks with no answer in office or by cell. Mr. Sellers told his client he would be getting out of jail when they go to court June 29th and then tells him in court sorry I messed up. Saddest part is we both told the kids he was getting out and he didn’t. Mr. Sellers client contacted me from jail and asked me to call Mr. Sellers to see what’s was going on. Waiting for my call back from Mr.Sellers.

I hired Mary to represent me in a complex divorce case and I highly recommend her as a skilled, thoughtful and thorough attorney who cares deeply about doing the right thing. Mary is a professional, well organized, forward-thinking, lawyer with the ability to see and respond to what is most needed in the moment. She is a tenacious litigator when needed and a pragmatic, fair-minded negotiator. I would highly recommend Mary Nardi for anyone in need of a skilled attorney to represent their best interests.

I hired John and from the beginning until the end he was on point with everything we had went over about my case. I finally found an attorney that really fought for me and I would recommend him highly to all my family and friends and continue to use him if I ever need an attorney in the future.

I hired John Leombruno to represent me on a few Violation of Injunction Charges. I hired other attorneys (ex-state attorney and others)who didn't put in half the work and told me to settle for whatever deal the state had to offer. John listen to me, never disrespected me no matter how anxious I was for him to plead my innocence. He did the work to back up my case and it ended with a favorable result! Charges dismissed.

I never write reviews on products or services however I always read them when making decisions. I felt in this case I had to! I had an indication late on a Friday afternoon that I was going to receive an injunction. I immediately started researching what I was going to be facing and lawyers to help in my case. I called several lawyers and was able to get a phone appointment with John on Monday. Sure enough I was served with papers at 1pm on Monday and had court 8am the next day. Imagine my stress levels at that point. Fortunately I had my phone appointment at 2pm with John. John had taken his time to explain everything and we were on the phone longer than the time he allotted. Understanding my concerns, he met me in his office late that afternoon, to discuss my case. He took his time and explained to me in detail how the process works, the options we have, and his costs. We were the last ones to leave his office! We went to court and he fought hard for me, was a quick thinker who thought outside the box, and won me my case. I am happy to be past this issue. I had no one else to help me given the time restraints, and if it weren't for John, the outcome would've turned out a lot different. I made the right choice in having John defend me. If you want a lawyer who is quick, efficient, will do his best to win, and will not overprice, John is your guy!!

My sister hired this firm to represent her to help her get a Final Judgment Set Aside among other issues in her case with the help our family that was well communicated with Greg. He proclaimed that he would help with all of her matters. I even spoke with him and his support staff too about my sister’s case but now refuse to speak with me to inquire as to why they have now filed a Motion to Withdraw from her matter and he has left numerous issues unresolved as I find it disgusting and disturbing of their lack of professionalism. Again, this firm was suppose to help her on numerous of matters. He waited nearly 3 months to file the “Motion” that he now claims he was “only” hired to do on her matter with the court after getting paid in advance. He received a letter from opposing counsel proclaiming they took too much money from my sister’s 401k account and has sat on it too admitting it has gone unanswered. This issue too was another reason why he was hired. The office never answers the phone and they use their caseload as an excuse as to their poor performance. “Often citing that my sister is not their only client”. How would that statement make you feel if you were a client of theirs? A deadline was missed in her case by 4 days and the excuse of a security breach was used that nearly happened weeks prior to the Judge asking for a Briefing Order to be submitted, which was not disclosed in their Motion for Extension of Time after they missed the Judge’s deadline. One would think that if a security breach caused your firm to miss a deadline, it would have been well noted in their Motion for Extension of Time to the Judge. Luckily, the Judge granted his extension; however, the brief submitted wasn’t in support to set a Final Judgment aside as the case cited was in opposition to their claim to set aside. It seems excuses is all this firm has and unwilling to refund my sister’s money for their lack of being prepared. They claim they’ve used up all of her funds too. No invoice was ever given upon employment. They also failed to submit a document that the Judge asked to accompany the briefing order, part (b) an Amended Final Judgment to include computations that was not included with their brief. They repeatedly asked for documents that was supplied numerous of times to them! I’d strongly encourage you to get my sister’s Motion to Set Aside Final Judgment, their Brief to that Motion and opposing counsel’s response to their Brief from the Court in Escambia County (Brock Kennedy v. Amy Kennedy) as it should be a guiding light for anyone in need of an Attorney. This attorney will talk a big game to get hired it seems to me. He should have been very transparent about his “big” caseload as this excuse was given multiple of times to my sister and to me by Jennifer and Greg. Jennifer asked that I help with the writing of the Motion to Set Aside as their paralegal was out of the office due to an illness and they were short staffed, then blatantly lied about it. I have legal experience, so I drafted and submitted a Motion to them to help them with “their big caseload”. I actually cited a great case in my Motion to Set Aside that wasn’t even used in their brief. This firm cited a case that wasn’t in even in support to set aside and opposing counsel noted that in his response and the Judge sided with opposing counsel. I’d actually have to agree with the Judge’s ruling for their failure to submit cases that supported their position to set aside. All public record. It is an attorney’s job to keep clients apprised of their case status, which is their fiduciary duty. An attorney shouldn’t half attempt to handle legal matters and wait months to get a result! Do your research and carefully read reviews of other clients as my comments and opinions are of the same of others. Unfortunately, the legal profession in Florida is saturated with Attorneys that talk a big game prior to being hired and do less than mediocre work once hired.

Terrible at responding to questions or concerns. Will only seem to fight for mothers in court. Dad's, beware.

29 Apr, 2019 by Anonymous

Concerned. I am currently going through a divorce with Mr Farrar as my attorney. Communication is bad. Weeks often go by without answers to my questions. He and his team often lack essential knowledge regarding my case. Hopefully things will turn around. I will update this review once the case is over.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
