Excellent firm. Mr. Blankner did a fantastic job getting my Lake County case dropped.

Mr. Blankner failed to do any sufficient work on the case. Barely any communication and when he did he was extremely rude and a very big LIAR. All he did was drag the case to no end. The Judge didn’t even want to hear him speak in the courtroom. He has several complaints with the Florida bar as well. Never answers his phone nor returns calls.

Mr. Blankner know what his doing for your best only You need to be Patience))) Thank Mr. Blankner you was Excellent Lawyer in my case & God bless you!!!

I’ve used him multiple times. From domestic disputes, to traffic things. My brother in law used him for a DUI, he has helped us all. He always gets the job done. Kendall, his partner is amazing too! Can’t go wrong with either attorney!!

I paid him a retainer for a domestic case and I literally never heard from him again! He drove to pick up my retainer and I literally never heard from him again, nor did he refund my money, file anything through the court for me or update me on what was going on. Thank goodness I was able to handle my case with the advice of another attorney, but I am a single mother and what he did was unprofessional and unethical. Find another attorney. This one will take your money and not help you.

Mr. Blankner is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. He is very reliable and trustworthy. He came to my rescue with only a message delivered to him. If needed, I would hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone who needs his help.

We were very disappointed in Atty Blankner work or rather lack of work on our case . He promised a lot but once the monies were paid in full it all stopped there was no defense , no communication and just empty promises. He was an embarrassment in the court room, does not present himself well at all and just overall I would NEVER in good conscience recommend him to even my worst enemy.

Mr. Blankner, is very versed in his field. He acted very quickly, professionally, and handled my case with a better outcome than I expected. If you need a lawyer in central Fl. Mr. Blankner is above and beyond.

"Buck" Doesn't care about you or your case. He does no type of work on your case. My last court case I had, I wasn't even aware of the date. I was on my way to work and I received a phone call while on I4. I ask who is this and he says it's "Buck" a if we had numerous conversation. I ask who is "Buck" He replies its your attorney, I need you to come to court. Did you know you were supposed to be in court today? Absolutely not, I'm on my way to work. I had no notification that I was supposed to be in court. He advised me on my initial consultation that we would take my case to trial. When I get to court he advised me to take the plea. He never fought for me on my case. I will never hire this attorney AGAIN!

Mr. Francis Wesley Blankner Jr. should not be able to ever do 3.850 (Post motion conviction) After he gets your money, he don't remember nothing,failure to investigate case, failure to be on time,lie over and over about what he's doing. change the motion far from really the case, never return calls, never response to inmates letters, don't remember what he's doing, i would never recommend Mr. Blankner to anyone. I hired him in 2005 , was late putting in the appeal, miss dead lines, 2014 was when the motion was denied, because of his failure to work/on the case(was not even prepared for the case. He needs to return money to all his clients.

Buck Blankner was our attorney over the course of about a year and a half. During that time, he never answered his phone (not once) and never returned his voicemails (not once). The only way to get any information was to speak to his assistants (who were always rude and never knew the answers to our questions). They would often take a message for us, but we didnt get call backs from them either. Blankner always showed up late to court, I'm talking an hour and a half late. He never had any discussions with the prosocution until he got to court, but since he was late it was a total disruption of the proceedings. Once, one of his assistants slipped up and accidently let us know that Blankner never filed the motion that he had told us he filed six weeks prior. We flipped out, calling him and leaving messages, trying to get to the bottom of it. Blankner had his other assistant call us and tell us that the motion was indeed filed....it got filed two weeks after this incident. Needless to say, time was factor in this particular case and filing the motion so late ruined our chances of having it approved. We were devistated. Blankner often promised things and then would later deny he had ever said anything. We found out in court that he never reviewed any of the prosocution's evidence. He also was supposed to do two depositions with witnesses. Those never happened. When we first hired Blankner, he drove to our hoyse to get his check. That was the most effort he put into our case.

My fiance and I have used "Buck" numerous times and never once had an issue!! He never hounded us about money, in fact he knocked off 7k off of our total cause he knew we didn't have it. My fiance was facing 10 years and he got it knocked down to 2 1/2. Every time I have ever called he responds to me within 24 hours, but mostly within 3-4 hours. My brother in law has also used him and is currently using him again and has never once had a problem. I highly recommend Buck and I have no complaints what so ever!!! He knows what he's doing!
