This is the worst lawyers office I have ever dealt with

Very rude and unprofessional

bad lawyer

Ted Rechel is the advocate you want working for you if you find yourself facing the unfortunate experience of divorce or child custody. My son went through a very difficult process and Ted has been with us every step of the way. He is very professional, honest and prepared. I highly recommend Rechel & Associates.

The best law firm around! Great service! I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. Ted Rachel fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!

Rechel is the worst lawyer you could have for your money. He overpromises and underdelivers. His rates are above average for subpar representation. His grammar is atrocious.

I was first divorced in Hillsborough County as an Active Duty military Officer. After I was deep in the process, and becoming increasingly distrustful of my lawyer, I asked a military lawyer for some advice. He told me he had handled a few cases out in town and talked to his civilian colleagues and his advice was to give me two names who he would use if he ever had to get a divorce, Ted Rechel was one of those. In 2018, late in my divorce, I did a one hour consult with Ted. He immediately spotted a number of very questionable practices by my attorney, but remained very frank and honest with me and told me my best course of action at that point if I wanted to end things fast was to stay the course, but gave me items to be wary of. Four years later, my ex-wife was living with her boyfriend in violation of our MSA, which should have voided alimony. I consulted with Ted and immediately hired him to handle a (now) complex case involving multiple state jurisdictions. While I was nervous at his retainer, I found that unlike my initial lawyer, Ted was judicious in billing and the money lasted far longer than in the first case. Four months into the process and my ex wife - though initially full of fight - has relinquished any and all alimony, everything has been filed with the courts, and I'm getting back around 40% of the initial retainer. Ted "gets it." He's frank, honest, and pragmatic. He is light years ahead of my original lawyer and just saved me several hundred thousand dollars. I wish I had found him when I started my divorce. While I at times felt frustrated at what I perceived to be a lack of communication, after the first month or two everything that needed to happen was happening and he wasn't milking me for money by billing for elaborate email responses or phone calls. He took care of my money, my time, and my interests. I couldn't be happier.

I have personally used Jennifer Todd in two separate occasions for family law in regards to parenting plans and custody. Ms. Todd is a game changer when it comes to fighting for what you want. Her knowledge and persistence is beyond excellent. We were able to receive everything that we asked for and more! Her office is very professional and you will always get a quick response whenever you call or email, which was great. I would highly recommend this firm and Jennifer Todd, Esq., specifically, for any family law assistance.

I’ve been working with Jennifer Todd for years and I am always happy with the outcomes. Her and her staff are professional, responsive, and thorough. I highly recommend this firm.

The best decision we made for our case was to consult with Ted. The most knowledgeable, professional and honest lawyer we have met. We went for a consultation and the Information he provided was so accurate we ended up not having to retain him but would absolutely hire and recommend Ted for our future needs. The office staff is also professional, caring and quick to respond.

Ted took my case and fought aggressively for what he felt I deserved. My case lasted over a year and left me emotionally and mentally depleted. The other party and I ultimately resolved the issue outside of court but it felt complex, long and scary anyway. Ted’s paralegal, Sara, was very easy to communicate with, was compassionate and has a gift for providing emotional support at the very moment you need it most. She’s an asset to the firm and adds a very appreciated balance to a difficult and traumatic process.
