I cannot express enough gratitude for Tim Hessinger and the life-changing work he did for me. Facing the possibility of 30 years in prison was the most terrifying experience of my life, but Tim’s skill, dedication, and unwavering belief in my case made all the difference. From the very first meeting, Tim put me at ease with his extensive legal knowledge and confident demeanor. He took the time to understand every detail of my case, meticulously prepared my defense, and tirelessly fought for me every step of the way. His ability to analyze complex situations, find weaknesses in the opposition's arguments, and present a compelling case was truly remarkable. Thanks to Tim’s hard work and brilliant strategy, I am free today and able to rebuild my life. He didn’t just save me from an unjust sentence; he gave me hope when I needed it most. If you are in need of an attorney who will fight for you like your life depends on it, Tim Hessinger is the one you want in your corner. His dedication, compassion, and expertise are unmatched. I owe him everything and will forever be grateful for his incredible representation

This review is long overdue. I was very overwhelmed with the case and wanted to shut it out completely afterwards. After having consultations with a few different attorneys, one who was very demeaning and one who wanted to take advantage of the situation monetarily, I was feeling distressed. I remember the evening that I called Tim. It was after business hours but he picked up my call and truly listened. He gave me the feeling that my gut was looking for, a sense of calm and that it will all be taken care of. Tim was courteous, easy to work with and followed-up frequently, answering my questions and requests. I'm so glad and very grateful that it was Tim, as it all worked out. Thank you so much, Tim.

Hunter Rawls and his team prepared a comprehensive Trust package for my wife and I. This process took several months to complete. Hunter was not only thorough with his explanation of terms and the way Trusts work vs. wills, but he was also very patient with our laundry lists of questions (and sometimes repetitive questions) over multiple phone calls. Hunter Rawls and his entire team were true professionals, along with being very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend them for Estate Planning services.

A brilliant, charismatic, compassionate, funny man. He has experience in criminal, personal injury, medical malpractice. I felt I was his only client. I was amazed of his ability to handle as many clients he actually had. His staff has excellent communication skills, I was always able to speak with Joel if he was in the office, if not a paralegal knowledgeable regarding my case. I cannot speak more highly of Mr Yanchuck. I would and will recommend Him. Regards

I am a Madeira Beach-based attorney, who hired Joel and his team of attorneys to help with a personal injury case. Joel and his staff were so professional and efficient, they helped the case go very smoothly. Joel has extensive experience both as an assistant prosecutor, and in private practice, which gives him a thorough understanding of the entire trial court process. He is also well-versed in medical malpractice, and keeps up with the latest trends in medical malpractice law. From your first conversation with Joel, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. And there was never a complaint from his staff. They were always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of hundreds of clients. Joel Yanchuck has gained a reputation as the “go-to” attorney for personal injury cases. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Joel. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Joel.

I was involved in a car accident that left me in a wheelchair, unable to work and worried how I was going to deal with everything that was happening. A friend recommended Mrs. Kravitz and said she would handle my case and help me figure out the myriad of worries I had. I met Jovita and was immediately impressed with her professionalism. Equally important to me I was simply impressed with her as a person. I suppose any attorney is capable of doing the legal side; I was worried about being treated as another number by an attorney. With Jovita that was nor ever has been the case. She was empathetic as well as knowledgeable which personally was important to me. My case settled in what I felt was a timely fashion all things considered. Additionally, I was happy with the settlement Jovita was able to obtain for me. Further, even though I'm no longer her client she took the time to follow up and ask how I was doing after recovering from my injuries. That gesture was greatly appreciated. I hope I never again need the services of an attorney but if I do I would hire Jovita again without hesitation.

Jovita Kravitz handled our case with personal care and attention. When my husband was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle, not only did we have to deal with and worry about his recovery and the intensity of his injuries but to top it all off the driver of the car was irate, unreasonable and just downright rude. Jovita was professional, prompt and courteous. But beyond that she was sensitive to the emotional turmoil my husband and I were both in and handle her case with care as well as speed. We highly recommend Jovita and have since referred her to numerous friends and family members who ever all had excellent experiences using her legal services.

I retained the services of the Kravitz Law Firm as the Personal Representative for a family member. From the first visit with Jovita, I was impressed with the amount of time she spent with us, knowledge of the numerous legal issues at hand, and the level of compassion she showed to and for our loved one. At a time in which we were dealing with great sadness, grief, numerous medical situations, and of course raw emotions, Jovita was patient, walked us through the process every step of the way, and answered our numerous questions and concerns. Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm communicated with us in a timely manner and provided a level of personal care and legal background that was much appreciated. Our case was well represented with powerful expert witness testimony and effective research. Jovita was extremely knowledgeable in the many facets of our case and defended our loved one in truth. She was determined in defending our case and her defense of our loved one commanded attention due to her effective delivery. Justice prevailed for our loved one and I am grateful to Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm for their patience, diligent work, and their personal support of our case.

Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one. We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution). He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing. Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

There’s a reason he’s got so many reviews and all five stars, now I’d give 10, but not an option. This is about a decade late but I ran across an old email and figured I’d check in/leave my thoughts. I’ve never had an attorney be so friendly /understanding and work so damn hard (I’ve worked w many). Hes a unique breed and having worked for law firms In the area, gotten to know many local esq’s etc (as a legal assistant), id choose him any day. He followed up with me long after I felt “things” were more than fine, and every call meant so much. Last time I saw him I believe was in TPA Int..comes up, “thought that was you, how are things, any changes etc”. Trust me, you found the right guy here!! Won’t ever forget ya bud! Btw- office looks nice! I was there for the early days :) moved away but will be in the Bay on NYE. Your Number plugged in to phone JUST in case :) jk jk. Cheers !

After some research and reading all of the positive reviews on Donnie, I contacted him to represent me. It was the first time that I found myself needing a criminal attorney, wasn't sure what to expect but knew that I needed some great professional help. Everything with Donnie was very straightforward. He told me what it was going to cost me, what his approach would be and what the expected outcome would be. He was spot on, kept me informed along the way and got me the best outcome, pleading a criminal traffic charge down to a civil traffic violation. I hope that I never find myself in the same or similar situation again, but if I do I know who I will be calling, thank you Donnie!
