First let me say divorce is one of the worst life events, especially with kids. David Anton and his paralegal Kay Schnake were absolutely amazing. The listened to my concerns and expressed true empathy. David Anton is masterful in his research and delivery. Despite there being a dollar amount associated with hiring an attorney, David Anton truly cares about what is right for his clients long term well being. Kay Schnake treated me with the upmost care and empathy. Both offered real advice and made the entire experience as easy as possible. My situation ended in the best way possible as my wife and I reconciled everything. David and Kay offered the best advice and made sure I was taken care of the entire process. To both David and Kay - you are the very best at what you do. You are both real and honest! By far the best law firm anyone could ever ask for in such a difficult time. Thank you again for being so kind and always listening when I need it most!

Very friendly! I had a family law question and when I came in for my consultation he was prepared with all the statutes that applied to my situation and gave me the tools I needed to get the matter resolved. I appreciated his honesty and that he didn't push me to pay legal fees for something that didn't necessarily require a lawyer. Highly recommend!

Hiring the right divorce attorney is a critical decision. I had a complicated very contentious divorce with significant assets, a family business and commercial real estate. Opposing council was one of the highest regarded attorneys in the area. David handled the case masterfully with strategy, tenacity and fortitude. He had the ability to weigh pros and cons of decisions throughout the process often anticipating outcomes .He hcan succinctly and clearly explain complicated issues to the court. David has a strong understanding of family law. I am very pleased with the outcome

Chris and his wife Shannon worked tirelessly and professionally to help us gain custody of our autistic grandson. He never lost sight of the fact that this case was about the best possible placement for a child with special needs. He expertly presented the facts of the case and was able to attain the most positive outcome possible for my grandson. We are forever grateful to both Chris and his wife for the hard work and dedication they put forth for us. They are outstanding!

The Anton Legal Group has represented me on several occasions for various types of matters. Each time I felt that I was given highly professional treatment and obtained effective results. Their office was very good at keeping me informed during the complex legal process of each case. I would recommend highly.

Chris is a tremendous lawyer who pays attention to detail and does not look at a client as just another file or a number. He completely understands that what he is doing is dealing with your life, and literally the most important things in your life, your children, possessions and finances. Chris goes above and beyond to make sure that the best result is obtained for you, and there is nothing more you can ask of your attorney. I consider Chris not only a great attorney to have on your side, but also a great friend! If you need legal help, Chris and his wife and legal partner Shannon are the only attorneys I would recommend. Trust me, you will not regret the decision!

Chris really came through for me when finishing the final marriage settlement agreement with my ex-spouse who, historically for several years, had not been keen on reasonable negotiation. As we minced out every syllable in the most complex parenting plan you could ever imagine in an all day long decathlon of legal bartering, Chris helped us calmly navigate through choppy waters to solutions when arguments would surface between my spouse's lawyer and I. I believe Chris was ethical (which was important to me - my mom’s an ethics attorney), but wasn't afraid to fight for my interests as a father (more time with my wonderful son) when I needed it. Chris was also quick and good with the numbers and isn’t afraid to get aggressive if the other party is being unreasonable, but he was understanding enough in my situation to step back in some situations and recognize that it was important to me that I have a healthy relationship with my son’s mother and not take her to the cleaners. Additionally Chris sympathetically laughed with me in my self-deprecating humor when I frequently compared my long painful divorce situation to Andy Dufresne escaping Shawshank Prison through a sewage pipe (from the movie Shawshank Redemption) and pondered the significance of my judge being the same one from the reality TV show “Pet Court”. I was happy to have him on my side going through such a difficult experience in my life and he made it easier for me. Most importantly, he got me the shared time I wanted to be with my wonderful son. :)

I have been represented by Shannon LaFrance and highly recommend her. In addition to her experience, she is thorough, prompt and caring. I would absolutely hire her again

Ms. LaFrance is both highly intelligent and very sympathetic. She is capable and caring. It’s rare to meet a person with both of these qualities, and even more rare to meet a lawyer with them! I highly recommend LaFrance Law because I know much they care about people.

I've experienced attorneys in contract law, construction, estate planning, business and zoning law. I also had the pleasure of working with Chris LaFrance in a detailed, family law matter. Of all my experiences, Mr. LaFrance was the most considerate and detailed in return communication and honest legal direction that allowed me to make informed, intelligent decisions. Too many attorneys tell you want you want to hear. If you're I'm need of family law and want straight legal advice in a timely manner, give Mr. LaFrance a call.

Shannon LaFrance and Chris LaFrance are caring and compassionate Tampa divorce attorneys. I highly recommend LaFrance Law if you are in need of a divorce attorney or family law attorney.
