In April of 2022, I lost two sons in a car accident. July of 2022 after being harassed since April, 3 days after two of my son's died April 16th my four and two years old, dcf decided to begin to harass me. Immediately I start contacting mr cartelli, before the boys were taken in July I had informed him by hysterical emails documenting everything going on before even retaining him, I retained him a few days after their removal. I have listened to each word he's suggested and I am trusting him to keep his word so far he has. He is very caring, a very good person to retain as an attorney because he doesn't do this for the money he does this mostly because he wants to help and he cares. He does email back, he does call back. He's very welcoming to surprise drop ins, he always finds time to talk with me. Unlike a big law firm he's one person, against an entire court room. Trust him, what he says. If you retain him in the end youll be happy.

Mr Cartelli will no fight for you. He didn't care about my case, didn't answer my calls, and didn't discuss with me what i really need and finally didn't respect my desire, favor the other part. He only get the divorce over with. I do not recommend him at all. He even sent proposals to the judge that I strictly disagreed with.

Use caution when looking for a good atty. I can assure you Lawrence Cartelli is not the best choice. He took my cash and did nothing for my case.

I have retained Mr. Cartelli on several occasions. My first interaction with him was over 15 years ago. Most recently, I have engaged him to handle a case of identity theft and other cyber security issues. I have found him to be well versed with respect to the law. His understanding and compassion for the client is unmatched.

I would never hire him. In my opinion the worst lawyer (andI use that term loosely) I have ever dealt with. Wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face. We were involved in a simple probate that he dragged out and lied his way through for three years. Avoid at all costs. In my opinion.

Mr. Cartelli was appointed to me and I thank god he was. I came to him with a very messy and complicated case against dcf and a third-party. Not only did he go above and beyond, he brought my children home when the state wrongfully took them. Dcf tried every kind of manipulation to get a settlement out of court, but Mr. Cartelli walked through every step of the way with me and we came out victorious! He is highly educated with current laws and policies. He genuinely cares about his client and what is best for them. If ever I would need an attorney again (fingers crossed I don't) I would choose him EVERY time.

Mr. Cartelli helped me with a child custody issue just recently. He went above and beyond my expectations to find ways to get my child back for me when she was wrongfully taken. He fought to the end with doing pick up orders and giving me advice anytime I asked for it. He is very personable and you can tell that he actually cares about the case and not just in it for the money. He kept me informed every time he filed a motion or made a phone call about my case. He even called to ask the advice of other attorneys to make sure that he was telling me the best thing to do in certain situations. He gave me resources to help when dcf got involved. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a family law attorney.

I just want everyone to know that Lawrence Cartelli is one of the best attorneys I have ever seen. He takes his job and his clients very seriously. I have been represented by this attorney on 2 occasions, once from last year and at the present time. He is handling a DCF case for me right now and I can honestly say he is the only one I have trusted in a very long time. I admit my faults and he makes sure my case is handled properly. I have always been afraid of DCF because of the way they lie on people and it seems that no matter what attorney I have had in the past I still never had a fighting chance. When god blessed me with this attorney he blessed me with a chance. Mr. Cartelli tells me not to worry that he will make sure my case is handled properly. If any other attorney from my past would have said that I would have worried, but I have seen my attorney in action and I honestly trust the fate of my children and family in his hands. I am currently out of state dealing with other issues and even though I am not in Florida to be present at my own DCF hearings I can call Mr. Cartelli and be completelly confident about my upcoming hearing he represents me at during my absence. Mr. Cartelli I know if it wasn't for you I would possiblly lose my custody but lord knows I have all faith in you. You are a true blessing to me. I will forever be thankful to God for you even way after my case closes. If we had more attorneys like Cartelli there would be way less broken homes due to DCF and there lies. Thank you for all your hard work, knowledge, and dedication to my family. God Bless you!!! JENNIFER ANDERSON
