If you have an amicable divorce go to a mediator or give a small retainer fee. This office has a NON-refundable refund for retainers. My case was during the holidays and after we signed everything the office went silent. I had to email to check status and then they would move the case. I wasn't even informed on when my divorce was finalized, I found it on public records. Although I am knowledgeable and know it was my mistake for not reading the terms, I hope this helps someone to ask about refundable retainer fees. My divorce billable hours were about 2,500. My retainer fee was 5,500 so the office made an easy $2,900.00. Hope this review helps someone in the future!

From the very first call, I knew I picked the right firm. No question was too much. Every question was answered in a timely fashion. Each time I desired a change to something, I received sound easy to understand responses that helped me decide how important my original request was or was not. Bottom line, Chelsea and Hillary were both fantastic. I rarely do reviews so that the fact that I did this one should really tell you something.

This firm is a nightmare. Can’t never get a hold of anyone and when you do and make an appointment no one calls. 5 years later no resolution and I had to pay out of pocket for my roof. Makes empty promises and can’t ANSWER the phone. I reached out via personal number and was cussed out by Monique low. Couldn’t get a hold of you any other way…..I tried for months and months and months. Take you business elsewhere unless u wanna be waiting around for 5 years.
Also note that stopped responding to bad reviews 4 years ago, because THEY DONT CARE!

From day one our case has been butchered. Our attorneys have overlooked MAJOR details in our case, we ended up signing settlement papers (SIX MONTHS AGO) and agreed to a fraction of our out of pocket expenses. Where is the check? Who knows! I am not getting anywhere with these lawyers. They don’t seem to care that we never got our settlement. Stay far away.

Brian and Dennis did a great job of supporting me in my car accident case.
They explained the process and situation in detail and led me well, and also treated me warmly, which allowed me to work with peace of mind. I want to thank them again for taking care of me and wrapping things up.
It shouldn't happen again to work together again, lol, but if a situation arises, I would work with Brian again.

Hola a todos … no soy una persona que dejo review así porque si, pero en este momento es muy importante porque yo con mi mujer tuvimos un accidente el día 01/19/24 a las 6pm en commercial Blvd y las 37 ave , nos chocaron por detrás , fue nuestro primer y único accidente, al día siguiente domingo a las 7am me contacté con mi amiga Kira quien rápidamente me contactó con el buffet del Doctor Pravato que junto a su asistente Jarisel y su espectacular equipo de trabajo , nos guiaron paso a paso por este proceso tan importante y complicado , JAMÁS nos soltaron la mano , lucharon como un por nuestros derechos como unos verdaderos guerreros , nos pusieron en las manos de los mejores especialistas médicos y nos consiguieron una excelente y justa compensación monetaria … Gracias 🙏🏻 por cuidarnos , estaremos muy felices de haber sido su cliente .

Muy agradecida con este despacho de abogados, muy especialmente con Yarisel y el Dr. Pravato, por acompañarnos y darnos respuesta en nuestro caso. El día Sábado 01/20/2024 tuvimos un accidente, ocasionado por un par de irresponsables que iban a alta velocidad en una carretera de 40 millas, impactándonos en la parte trasera, evidentemente esto cambió nuestro ritmo de vida, afectando la parte de salud y laboral. Una amistad nos recomendó esta firma de abogados, y no se equivocó, porque lucharon hasta el final para que pudiéramos obtener la máxima cantidad de compensación económica. Reitero mi agradecimiento, y sin lugar a dudas los recomendaré con quien pudiera necesitar de sus servicios. GRACIAS!!!

Jared made this experience very comfortable and kept us at ease.
As a business owner there were a lot of concerns about this process and Jared made the it seem easy. Jared has a deep knowledge for estate planning and it showed in the way he communicated and oriented us with the entire process. I truly walked away feeling as if all of our assets, both personal and business, are in the right place.
The office staff is also top of their game. From the welcome meeting to the signing they made sure every "t" was crossed and nothing was out of place.
Kudos to Jared and his team for the class and professionalism displayed throughout the entire process.

I have known Jared for almost 20 years as I shared office space with his father and would see him come to the office frequently. Over the years I followed his educatonal and professional trajectory and was pleased to see that he decided to become a lawyer and remain in south Florida. Given that we have similar practice areas, we consult each other whenever we have a problematic situation. When clients need assistance in an area in which I do not practice and Jared does, I do not hesitate to refer them to Jared and have always received glowing reports.

Called the office and was lucky enough to get a quick consultation with Greg. After just a few minutes it was apparent to me that this was the attorney I would need for the issue I was facing. He knew right away what was going on and was able to provide me with quick and concise answers to my questions.
When the time came and I actually needed his help he was right there in the thick of it doing whatever he needed to do to resolve my issue. If we were in a combat situation together, this man is my medic. Without a doubt one of the strongest minds I've personally encountered.
In the end Greg resolved my issue without the need of ever seeing a courtroom and for that I am eternally grateful. He may not be able to do this in every situation, but I was lucky enough where it was possible. Either way I can say unequivocally that should I ever need help in the future he'll be the only person I will call.

I researched many attorney profiles, backgrounds. But, there was only 1 whose sincerity was palpable. That was Joshua S. Danz. He listened to Me patiently for 45 minutes. His representation was so successful for me and my grandson. Everything I hoped for Joshua achieved. He reached out to me on a regular basis. He genuinely cares. Joshua is the consummate professional, profound understanding of the law. But ultimately a fine person. Picking Joshua as my attorney is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Would avoid working with this firm if at all possible. They are extremely slow to respond, completely disregard emails, and show a complete lack of empathy or understanding. If you are not consistently following up, you will be hard pressed to receive any type of response. If you do receive a response, it will be short and often times not even answer your questions. It consistently felt like we had to chase them down for the most simple requests. Go elsewhere if you have the option.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
