I called Ms. Sundberg to ask advice about another probate case. She gave me her full attention even though I called her directly without an appointment. She was extremely helpful and genuinely cared about our situation. I appreciate the time she spent with me.

I was referred to Ms. Sundberg to review a Trust Fund that was set up by my father before he passed away. She was very prompt, concise, courteous and professional. She explained the nature of the Trust and, unfortunately, the failings of the Trust. She provided advice that will be very helpful going forward. I was very pleased with her approach to the issue at hand and the advice she provided.

Living in another part of Florida and needing a second opinion from an experienced trust litigator I contacted Ms. Sundberg. Since I am involved in a trust but am not the grantor, the local attorney who created the trust had been (rightly so) keeping me a bit at arms length.
Ms. Sundberg was available to take my call and did. She listened patiently while I explained my situation and questions regarding the trust, and my concerns about what might cause an adverse decision to the trust and myself should it be challenged. She then very calmly, but obviously from a place of experience, gave me her take on the pitfalls I might encounter. Importantly, she clearly differentiated between those items and courses of action that were middle of the road and safe and those that might be at the edge of the road and could go either way should the trust go to litigation. That distinction was hugely helpful.
Finally, much like the character in "Miracle on 34th Street" who advises a Macy's customer who couldn't find the item they were looking for at Macy's that they could find it at Gimbels, she pointed out that an attorney who was certified in elder law and practiced in my geographic area would be the best attorney to consult for my remaining questions, since that is where the trust would be litigated if it came to that. Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe is lucky to have her and anyone who needs her assistance in her area of expertise cannot do better.

This review is in regards to Lisa's expertise in Family Law...
Lisa is by far the best attorney I have worked with. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the law, competent, hard-working, determined, reasonably priced and genuinely cares about you and your case. I had an interstate case that was rather complex. After speaking with Lisa, I knew she was the best attorney for the job. I had called about 7 other attorneys and they were all confused about how to go about my case and they were hesitant as to my next step. Not Lisa! Lisa knew exactly what to do! She was an angel. She is also one of the hardest working attorneys I have ever encountered. At no time did I ever feel in the dark about what was going on. She kept me up to date on everything and made sure I knew what was going on at all times. She oftentimes worked from home into the wee hours of the night (thanks Lisa). She managed to do all this within the retainer fee that I paid and my case was DONE. Yes DONE. She tied up all the loose ends of my case even though I wasn't in the state! I couldn't be more happy with the hard work she provided on my case. Beth, her paralegal, is equally as awesome. Ladies, my hats off to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of business for me and my daughter.

I chose Lisa just off of the reveiws from Avvo, and they have all proven to be true. She is super smart and really knows the law. Dealing with a custody case isn't the easiet thing to go through, but LIsa is so patient and she goes through every scenario that could happen. She very kind, but aggressive when she needs to be. I would email her with a question or concern and she responds promptly. I'm glad I chose Lisa to represent me, and she got me exactly what I asked for.

Lisa Smith is an expert at what she does. She knows the law; she is professional, highly intelligent, and down to earth. She helped me though what seemed like the worst part of my life by just keeping me informed, maintaining a happy and professional demeanor, keeping things in perspective for me in regards to the case. She was honest on possible outcomes of the case, she did not tell me what I wanted to hear - she spoke of real life possible outcomes. This was very helpful for preparing me mentally for the various possible outcomes. It was amazing to watch her at work on my trial in court, she is just very impressive. I would highly recommend this attorney.

Ms. Kotur represented me in my personal injury case. I was very pleased with her services. She obtained a great result for me and aggressively represented me against a major insurance company wich was originally unwilling to negotiate.

I contacted Ms Freitas for a land contract, I have done several real estate transactions in the past, but this contract as so seller biased I had never seen anything like it. Ms Freitas reviewed the contract pointed out a lot of very detailed concerns. I was on a very tight deadline she reviewed and had it back in 48 hours on a holiday weekend no less. Will definitely use again.

Jeff Keiner is a great lawyer. He understands engineering and construction as if he were an engineer or constructor. Thus, he can represent design professionals at the highest level.

Choosing Dan Newlin to help me with my case was the best thing I could have done. When I had my car accident, a person recommended them to me and I called them. My lawyer was Tiffany Faddis and from day one she was always very kind to me and she always was explaining everything to me about my case... I really had the best experience with Dan Newlin's team, I really recommend them.

I have been dealing with a knee injury that I inquired about at my workplace, where I have been employed for six years. It has now been over 21 days since my workman comp doctor recommended that I may need to seek additional medical attention, suggesting that I may be facing arthritis. This situation has left me feeling anxious and uncertain about my future, as I was previously healthy, active, and often running around. Now, I find myself limping and stressed about whether I will ever walk normally again. With my job as a server I need to be on my feet 8 hours a day and walking around. And without the proper care and therapy I will never get to that…
As a result, I am currently searching for a reputable law firm for guidance and assistance in Google. I found Dan Newlin Law Firm. During a recent consultation with calling Dan Newlin Law Firm, I felt the discussion focused more on my situation and If I got anything denied, but I needed an action plan. I know what I am facing, I need future outcome and what can I be provided when that time comes. Rather providing actionable advice for ensuring my rights are protected, particularly in the event of a misdiagnosis at the Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) stage. I left the conversation feeling dismissed rather than empowered.
I am looking for a Lawyer who not only has the resources and expertise to advocate effectively on my behalf, but also instills confidence in me that my case will be handled with care and attention. In contrast, other law firms I contacted provided me with a clear overview of steps to take after a potential denial and presented a strategic game plan, which I found reassuring.
I had high hopes for Dan Newlin’s firm based on their Google ratings, expecting top-notch experience and knowledge in this area, but unfortunately, I left the consultation feeling disappointed. I need a firm that is dedicated to maximizing compensation for my health issues and addressing both current and future wage losses.
Thank you for allowing me to share my experience.

A Tribute to an Extraordinary Criminal Lawyer, Vincent Citro Attorney at Law
My wife and I would like to personally thank Mr. Vincent Citro for representing our son, saving his life, and our family.
When our son was falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, our world came crashing down. The weight of the accusations and the fear of an uncertain future were unbearable. Just when all seemed hopeless, we found the lawyer who would not only save our son’s life but restore our faith in the judicial system. His name is Vince Citro.
Mr. Citro, this remarkable criminal attorney, is nothing short of brilliant. From the moment he took on our case, it was clear that we were in the hands of someone extraordinary. His dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in our son's innocence were evident in every action he took.
When others saw no way out, he devised a brilliant legal strategy that turned the case around. His meticulous attention to detail, deep understanding of the law, and ability to think several steps ahead were instrumental in dismantling the false accusations against our son.
But what truly sets Mr. Citro apart is not just his unparalleled legal expertise, but also his compassion. He treated us with the utmost respect and care, keeping us informed and involved. He was not just our lawyer; he became our champion, our advocate, and our beacon of hope.
Thanks to his tireless efforts, our son was fully exonerated, and we have our lives back. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Citro saved our son’s life, and for that, we will be eternally grateful. He is, without a doubt, one of the best criminal attorneys in the nation. If you ever find yourself in need of a defender of justice, look no further. This man is not just a lawyer; he is a hero.

David Meek is an absolute godsend and I am ever so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with him!! From the moment I got in contact with him, I knew I was in the best of hands. I have such a small business, and this was the first time I ever needed this kind of help, so you could imagine how nervous and worried I was! I am just small fries, but David never made me feel that way, which I appreciated so much. He kept me sane, updated, and was always responsive, polite, and informative. He was fantastic at presenting me my options, and he handled things perfectly!! He KNOWS his stuff, and thanks to him I got an even better result expected. If you have a small business, you would be so lucky to have David on your side and all of the Losey Law team!! Thank you again, 15/10!!!!

He is an honest professional and will tell you the way it is. Mike has years of experience and a great reputation with other attorneys and the judicial system.

I called them to schedule the free 15 minute phone consultation… I let it be known that I was calling on behalf of my mother because there’s a slight language barrier and the receptionist (or whoever he was) informed me that they don’t take clients who can’t speak the language even if I am here to assist. Which I find very weird and off-putting, especially in this day and age, because it has never been an issue any other place!! He then proceeds to give me the number of another attorney located in Kissimmee and said that’s where they refer people to (people with language barriers I suppose?? Or people they just don’t want to take on as clients for whatever odd reasoning they have).

I always knew I could trust her insights, because her honest and direct approach left no room for error. Temika's communication style is polite and concise.

Ms. Shea Fugate is the absolute best. I was really struggling with applying for my SSDI. I was lucky enough to be given her name from a lawyer friend of mine. She got back to me super fast after I called her office. She is so friendly and spoke to me with genuine concern and in a way that I easily understood what was going to happen. Any time I had a question, she was available. Not surprisingly, the dealing with the government took a while. But she saw it through and got my benefits for me. Would absolutely highly recommend.

Update* first and foremost, I have not had time sharing with my son since I asked Mouse to file contempt. That was 26 days ago. This was the action that Longwell advised against. Then the moment he filed for withdraw, the opposing side figured they don’t have to follow any time sharing. They know he has my $, and they know I can’t hire another lawyer without that $.
Second, abusive? How does being disrespectful magically upgrade to abusive? Oh I wrote a review, so you lied. Get over it. Let’s define abuse. Improper use of something. You quit, you’re holding onto TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, with zero legal ability to charge against it, and you refuse to return it to your former client so he can hire a new lawyer. That’s abusing funds. My pool boy returns the money within a week if he doesn’t provide the service.
Third, you did not call me Mr Longwell, which means you could not have left a message. If you did, prove it cause I can prove you didn’t. Why would you lie about something so trivial.
I’ve updated to include the most recent billing after they quit. It is an indisputable fact that they have now paid themselves more in one month to quit, than any of the other previous months they claimed they did diligent work.
I hired Longwell lawyers early 2021 for a paternity trial. It is August 2024, no parenting plan agreement. No Trial, Carson Mouser is withdrawing claiming I am rude and disrespectful. I never hired him, I had hired a different attorney in their firm and my case was eventually “assessed to benefit” from being appointed Mouser. I had no choice in the matter.
He had agreed to go to trial, I paid him $2000 to “prepare” and then Mouser requested $10,000 for trial. Eventually the opposition hired a lawyer and requested an update within 30 days or I was going to default. I sent an email to Mouser asking what I needed at the beginning of the work week. He never responded, at all. I sent him two more emails after the mother refused to exchange at the end of the work week, he didn’t respond. I had to call Mousers office, once he got on the phone I had asked him why he didn’t answer me and he said that I sent my email directly to him. My exact words were, “that’s a problem?” And Mouser said he’s done, he’s withdrawing. So I asked for a return of my money, he said to call the office.
I call the office and they tell me they will ONLY RETURN MY MONEY AFTER I SIGN CONSENT and then they have 90 days to return it after the motion is granted. I ask for my file and they said they only turn it over after withdrawing.
Let’s be super clear. They were paid since 2021 to go to trial. They have 12k specifically for trial. They have made their intentions clear they will NOT go to trial. But will NOT return money they do not intend to use. They are aware I have to respond to the courts within 24 days or I default.
Can you imagine your former lawyer holding onto the only $ you had for trial after they filed for a trial date, $ which they don’t even intend to use? I don’t make a lot of money. They know that though. I have been the sole provider for daycare for the entire year, and barely can pay that.
I see Mark Longwell has responded to a previous poor review about Carson Mouser. His argument will be I was rude and disrespectful. Even if your lawyers assumed I was disrespectful, their response is to blow the case for their precious client? Hold onto money I’ve paid for trial after filing for a trial? If anything I said here is untrue, you should sue me. Cause I’ve been left with the choice to either pay for a new lawyer, or pay for VPK.
$12,000 being held. 40kish more already wasted. I should have never hired them and fired them the moment they stuck Mr Mouse on the job without my consent.
I should have just bought oceanfront property in Colorado. The same exact result would be happening right now. No parenting plan, no trial, money for trial stuck with in a useless spot.

I can’t say enough about this firm. If you’re looking for an attorney that will make the most out of your case and is also compassionate look no further. This firm has the best attorneys in the area. They are always there when you need them and answer calls and e-mails right away. One of the attorneys in particular, Muna Abraham has gone above and beyond to fix something that was handled incorrectly by another firm. She not only fixed the issue in a timely manner, but kept touching base with us to make sure everything is going the way it should. She is extremely knowledgeable and updated in the changing laws and will work hard for you! Not every firm is the same, and if I could give this one a 10 star I would. Thank you so much!!

I truthfully believe from the bottom of my heart that she is the best there is, and I would recommend her to anyone that actually wants the best outcome.
Any past complaints on pricing, or whatever…. You honestly get what you pay for.
Thank you, to Donna and your team. You guys are absolute rockstars.

First, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you for making the decision to take our case literally the last minute. When I received your message that you would, indeed, take my case I felt relieved, as you are known as one of the top lawyers in this field of law. From day one, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for us, this proved to be true.
We realize that this was not the easiest case to win, and that you were required to spend long hours preparing for one of the most difficult business challenges we’ve had to personally overcome. It is for this that we thank you. You treated us just as well, if not better, than your more prestigious clients. In fact, I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration I received from you and your great staff. It was not all “business” with you, it was something more personal. This made me feel secure in you handling our case. We saw the light of day and won by all standards. Jeff was absolutely “Awesome”, I would take him into any battle without hesitation! Your dedication, your attention to detail and diligence made this all possible.
Thanks to your expertise and prowess, our case not only You and your staff believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. Thank you for not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this.
Tyrone and Adriene Nabbie

I highly NOT recommend Mrs. Kay-Ann Waite. I hired her in April and at the beginning she told me it wasn’t going to take too long and it seemed she was going to work hard for me. Then, I had to constantly ask for updates since she didn’t provided any without me asking. It is June now and since 2 weeks ago, I have been calling to her office and sending emails and text messages asking for updates but it seems pointless. If she is not planning to get the job done, I would like to get a refund and hire another lawyer.

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.

- 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.

- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
