This experience is going to sound like a movie but I promise you it’s true I used to live in Fort Lauderdale went to college and relocated my family from Pennsylvania then I had a run-in with the law in 2005 before I was to appear in court hurricane Wilma hit our city hard to the point our residence became uninhabitable then homeless our only choice was to move back to PA luckily my mother was able to find us a new home during this time my wife’s health declined due to several complications of diabetes she became legally blind and developed kidney failure miraculously I was a donor match and was able to donate my kidney to her the operation was a success and for years I just focused on taking care of my family until one day during a routine traffic stop the officer had told me I had a warrant from Broward County for an FTA but it was only in state I immediately wanted to settle this matter but then suddenly an outbreak of COVID-19 emerged as you know the pandemic shut the whole world down around 2020 I lost contact with my original lawyer so I opted to hire another attorney and schedule a hearing on video through an app called zoom I paid some fines and court costs and was led to believe the case was settled and closed 4 years later August 2024 I was pulled over for making a illegal left turn from a gas station i was arrested apparently it was for a bench warrant I didn’t even know existed i argued in my defense that it was handled but the but the arresting officer said no Broward county wants you to be expedited back to Florida I was taken to prison sitting in a cell in pure disbelief thinking God please send me an angel that angels name was Rachel Newman my wife and eldest daughter found her out of five pics on Google gave her a call and were highly impressed with her warm disposition kindness professionalism and most importantly for her compassion for the truth and justice this made them feel very confident on receiving a positive outcome for my case meanwhile I had a detainer so I couldn’t use my bond even though my bill was paid Rachel was able to get the detainer lifted a week later I was released a freeman but still in the system she emailed me the documents to Carry as proof just in case I was stopped or pulled over for any reason this way I had my get out of jail card so to speak honestly you can’t imagine the amount of stress this 19-year-old case was causing for my family and I especially considering everything we’ve been through a month and a half later she was able to get the case dismissed I highly recommend Rachel Newman from Meltzer and Bell for anyone seeking expert representation Rachel is the one you want to handle your case she is truly heaven sent

Stephan Dobrinsky is exceptional—his dedication, expertise, and compassion turned my case around when others failed. From his relentless advocacy to clear, reassuring communication, he’s the attorney you want on your side. Trust Stephan with your future; he’s truly outstanding.

We retained Stephan Dobrinsky to represent us with serious legal issues and it was the best decision we have made. Not only did he show up in court on a Saturday morning but he was present every single time he was needed. He showed great knowledge, professionalism and dedication, was empathetic with our situation and most importantly: he won. I really hope we don’t need him again but if, god forbids, something happens, he will be the first call I make.

Mark is an excellent attorney with extremely great knowledge and was very professional the entire time working with him. He successfully helped me complete everything I needed and then some. With great legal and life advice I highly recommend him I’m not sure it would be possible to find a better attorney. Thanks again

Wow! Meltzer and Bell Criminal Law. What an excellent Law Firm. Attorney Rachel Newman has been with me every step of the way with my DUI. Never judgemental and also patient with her communication, I have never been in trouble before and this has been a very stressful experience. Rachel's executive secretary Adrienne is also an important part of the team. She is always on top of my emails and questions. I 100% recommend Attorney Rachel Newman for any of your legal services.

Amazing firm. They went above and beyond. Any of my concerns was addressed immediately. I can not thank them enough. I would give them a 10 star rating if I could. Thank you attorney Jibrael and your amazing staff.

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but when I do, it’s usually for something exceptional. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those cases. First of all, I never had the opportunity to speak with an attorney directly. I reached out to the firm via Instagram, and a legal assistant requested evidence. Once my case was identified, I was sent a digital agreement within 24 hours, maybe a day at most. I requested follow-ups on two occasions, and it took them over five days to respond each time, only to say that the case was still pending and that I should allow them 45 days for an update. At one point, I began to doubt whether this was even a legitimate operation. Nearly three months later, I was contacted and informed that an agreement had been reached with the company I was suing. The total settlement was $3,500, of which I was entitled to $500, while the attorney fees amounted to $3,000. I completely understand that this was not explained to me. My agreement didn’t specify that I would receive more than the attorney, but it did state that I could get up to $1,000 in compensation per claim, therefore I asked why I wasn’t getting the maximum amount allowed and then I was told they felt my case wasn’t worth that much and also they felt that money was better than no money. In my understanding, when someone hires an attorney, it’s because the attorney is supposed to represent the client’s best interests—not what they believe the client’s best interests are—especially when the client ends up receiving less than 15% of the final settlement. When I finally spoke with one of the attorneys over the phone, they mentioned their hourly rate, which had never been disclosed to me. They also stated that there was no stipulation regarding the attorney fees and suggested I contact lawmakers to address this issues, which I intend to do. Moreover, if one were to read the reviews of this company and do a bit of research, they would notice that some clients claiming to have worked with this law firm have consistently positive reviewed other law firms as well. This pattern raises doubts about the authenticity of these reviews. In conclusion, it seems that the only people benefiting from situations like this are law firms, not the everyday citizen they’re allegedly defending. This experience has made me rethink the values an attorney should have and question the reasons behind choosing this career. And would encourage any future client of getting more educated on what they’re signing for, specially about the legal fees they will charge in case your case is settled, before signing an agreement or committing to hire- in these type of cases- this particular firm for their best representation.

Awesome law firm 👌 I would recommend everyone to them. They're very professional. They take care of business and they communicate 😇

Got my checks today for the settlement against capital one. These guys are no joke! When credit card companies contact you after hours contact these guys and they will get you squared away and paid for the banks blatant law violations! All the staff in the office is super helpful, respond quickly, and very knowledgeable! 10/10. I will definitely use these guys and gals again when I have issues arise!

Good for us. F duke energy
