He took my case, dragged it out, burned through retainer and more invoices kept coming for a year. His network of GALs, and doctors he will try to refer you too are worse. I found a great one and was able to divorce in a couple months. Bob took a year and about 10K worth of money from me. We do not need lawyers in Pinellas like this. Go back to Chicago.

I am from Philly and chose this guy based on reviews..mistake..I hired him to represent me in a simple divorce..He is a train wreck..forgot to file my financials..misrepresents his intend. Canceled a court date unbeknownst to myself. I fired him and my new attorney will resolve my issues quickly and responsibly.

Bob Valentine handled my, very difficult, case from start to finish. Gretta and Kali were also extremely helpful! Everyone in this law office seemed invested in my case and made me feel valued. They were all incredibly professional, yet approachable, and they made themselves available to answer questions and concerns (I had many... requiring some serious patience on their parts). I live outside of the county and they always made sure to keep me informed. They inspired confidence in their attention to my case. Mr. Valentine was always upfront with me and helped me to remain realistic with my expectations (the outcome, by the way, exceeded them all). He helped me to ensure that the money spent on my case was spent well and none was wasted (this is important, as legal bills can really add up). I cannot say enough how grateful I am for Robert Valentine. Although I hope that I never have to, I would definitely hire him again!

Robert (Bob) Valentine of Emerson and Valentine successfully helped me through a difficult divorce process. From the first contact with Bob, I felt assured that I was in good hands in a process that I knew absolutely nothing of. Bob and his staff guided me through each step of the way and provided calming information to me during this difficult time. He provided professional guidance on all of the information required to be submitted to the court system. While this information was vast in amount and detail, Bob and his staff were there to keep me on track with each detail. The office was conveniently located in a modern and professional office building. Private offices were available for discussion of all the personal details of the process with the appropriate staff. Bob’s staff promptly contacted me by phone or email with timely information emanating from the court system or from the opposing attorney. Bob’s billing system and process was accurate and fair. On-line bill payment made it easy to submit payment. In summary, I believe that Robert Valentine, of Emerson and Valentine, provided excellent legal advice and services in a most difficult period of my life. I am truly impressed with the firm and staff and am completely satisfied with the outcome. In the end, I realized that my case seemed difficult only to me. Bob has the education, experience, and means to deal with much more difficult cases.

He is bright, compassionate, caring, calm, and level headed. He helped me see things more rationally than I could have otherwise and laid out options in a matter of fact manner with my best interest in mind.

I just had a free consultation with Mr. Valentin, He was able to explain the good and bad of my case with knowledge and options. I like the fact he was up front with my cases issues vs telling me what I wanted to hear. I feel it is better to be up front like he was and come up with a plan like he did. I feel very comfortable with Mr. Valentin and his abilities. I will be retaining Mr. Valentine for his legal services and if you are smart you should as well.

I have not yet hired any attorney, however, speaking with Mr. Valentine helped me understand what will happen when we are able to go through the process. He took a few moments of his time to explain answers to my questions and I am so thankful.

I retained Mr. Valentine in the 11th hour of my custody case. He's a great listener and very professional in all aspects of litigation. Mr. Valentine excelled in remembering dates, times and discrepancies in OC's testimony. He was very direct, yet polite in his cross-examination. Perfectly presented the facts and well versed in the laws and statutes pertaining to Florida Family Law. Mr. Valentine also allowed me to be hands-on, providing input and minor direction during my case. His court-room appears is well put together and organized. Again, Bob is a great listener and patient person. He genuinely cares about his clients. I believe I had solid representation by Mr. Robert Valentine.

Mr. Valentine was very professional, courteous, and seemed to really care about me as a person while I was going through this difficult time. He is very knowledgeable concerning family law and responded quickly to all types of correspondence. He made me feel at ease during the process. I would highly recommend Mr. Valentine to anyone going through a divorce.

Attorney Valentine handled my divorce for me from start to finish. I'd heard so many bad things about attorneys that I was wary in even hiring one to help me through my case, but right from the first meeting I knew that Bob was an attorney who actually cared about his clients and wouldn't steer me wrong. He did a great job in helping to negotiate a parenting plan, including shared custody of my kids, got me everything that I should have gotten as far as marital assets were concerned, and made sure that the alimony and child support were right where they should be. We didn't have to go to trial because we reached a settlement, but I'm confident that Bob would have been as prepared and professional at trial as he was during each step of my case. I've recommended him to my friends and would recommend him to anyone.

We had a question about our landlord/ tenant relationship and were looking everywhere for a consultation. People were charging hundreds of dollars just to hear our case. Mr. Valenine took time out of his schedule and we had a really reassuring and knowledgeable conversation, and made himself very available. Not sure yet how things will turn out, but we feel confident that Mr. Valentine would be the person to advocate for us.

We hired Attorney Valentine after he was highly recommended by a family friend. We worked with Attorney Valentine for 18 months on our Supplemental Modification Case and during those 18 months he treated us with dignity and respect and showed that he truly cares about his clients and in the end wants what is best for his clients and their family. Attorney Valentine is an experienced knowledgeable and patient lawyer; one of the many things that we respect him for is his honesty. He never once set us up with high expectations, he was always up front with us letting us know every direction our case could end up going. His priority was clear in doing what was best for our family, which he did. Attorney Valentine was a tremendous help to our family and we are grateful.
