If I could give less than one star, I would. Jamie is all too happy to take money, but not happy to be held accountable for the job for which you hire her. She and another lawyer screwed me and my kids, and when I begged and pleaded for her to fix it, make it right. She told me it wasn’t going to affect me and she didn’t know why I was worried about it (see attached email response). To this day, it does affect me, and my children, and she simply didn’t care to make it right after happily accepting thousands of dollars. I am still dealing with a case that she didn’t fix and reached out again to try to have her resolve but she doesn’t even bother to answer. I had to file a bar complaint for her to respond only for her to tell me she feels she did her job. If that were the case why doesn’t the state recognize the order she filed and why won’t she fix it? This lawyer has no integrity, so if you want someone who will take your money and offer no help, this is the lawyer you want. She is overpriced and doesn’t even do her job. It’s a wonder she hasn’t be disbarred.

I had a horrible experience with Icard Merrill, I retained Lindsey Meshberger for a divorce case. There was a constant lack of communication but the 3 biggest problems were #1) changed her hourly billing, one month after retaining her and then when I asked about it, I received no reply. #2) Told the judge in court that the reason she lacked information on my case is because she just received the case when she had the case for 4 months prior. #3) I was not even informed of a case management hearing that I had until it was over and couldn’t participate. At this point, I don’t know whether to consider this maltreatment racist or negligent. Her paralegal, Kathie Summa was god awful and argumentative whenever approached with any concerns. This is an honest review from my very REAL experience with ICard Merrill. I understand that everything can not go my way in a case but there is a level of professionalism and transparency that should be handled with any business, that was not done with ICard Merrill.

Recently, I hired Jordan Riccardi of Icard , Merrill regarding an estate concern. During the nine months I worked with Jordan, the situation was often unstable and erratic. Jordan provided on point legal advice and knowledge that minimized the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of the case. This provided me with considerable peace of mind. He also accomplished the goal I sought. I found Jordan to be very knowledgeable of wills and trusts, responsive to my many questions, professional, and a pleasure with whom to work. His team was also responsive and helpful in making a difficult situation bearable.

Bianca Manos restored hope for me when I didn’t have any left. I had originally hired another well known and respected attorney within the legal community (whom I found in the SRQ Magazine under the Elite Top Lawyers) which resulted in excessive billing and no movement in my divorce for 2 years. Bianca not only brought my case to a close in less than 6 months, but she passionately advocated for me when I didn’t have any fight left. She remained calm and empathetic throughout all our encounters, was ALWAYS responsive, and I was consistently kept in the loop regarding responses from opposing counsel, filings, etc.I was also provided with clear, sound, practical legal advice for any questions I had. There were no empty promises made, Bianca remained honest and true to the end. I can say without hesitation, if you choose Bianca Manos as your attorney then you will truly be in the best possible hands without a doubt.

I never got a response back from them.. My boss owns a mobile home community and wanted me to retain them and I never heard back from them..

Mr Myers is a great attorney and helped a great deal with our case. I have also referred family and friends to him.

I give Jordan Riccardi the highest grades for professionalism and efficiency in delivering estate planning advice and documentation.

My wife and I relocated from MA to Sarasota and needed to have our estate plans, medical proxies, wills reviewed and updated in compliance with FL law. We have met three times with Jordan J. Riccardi. We found him and his staff very friendly and competent. Particularly important he was upfront about fees and future expectations. I give "Jordy" five stars.

Seemed ok on our initial phone conference. Agreed to work for our family, then ghosted us for weeks and ignored emails. Eventually we got him on the phone and he said we was too busy and would recommend someone else. Unprofessional.
