I recommend Scott Skier because he is by far the best criminal attorney the state of Florida has to offer. When he tells you something, it’s exactly what it is every time. Very solid man; never had any doubts with him at all. He goes out of his way every time. He’s very friendly and informational. By far the best experience I’ve ever had with a criminal attorney. Point blank, hand down. Thank you Scott…

Scott Skier was an excellent attorney and took care of everything I needed him to take care of for my case in a very timely fashion. He was diligent, caring, quickly responsive, and very understanding. If anyone is in need of a defense lawyer in South Florida, Scott should definitely be your first call.

Mr. Cunha and his team handled my case brilliantly! I made the mistake of hiring a different attorney before I met James. He was able to point out how my case was quickly off to a bad start and explained how he could help get it back on track without pressuring me into hiring him. Obviously I hired him and he kept true to his word. He and his team were diligent and professional. They kept me informed during the case and maintained my confidence that I made the right decision in retaining his services. They even assisted me after the case was completed when there was no obligation on their part. A+, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Cunha and his staff!

After my husband had two extremely incompetent family law attorneys representing him, who made things worse instead of better and costing us a fortune, I decided to find him a new attorney. FINALLY I GOT TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING who immediately understood our case. He was easy to talk to as well as very sympathetic. He knew what to do and instantly came up with a plan. Things looked really bad for my husband when we hired Mr. Cunha and he managed to turn things around by 180 degrees in one year. There was a lot of damage control which needed to be done and he stuck with us through those hard times. He listened to me and was willing to look at all the facts that I have collected over the years. We finally managed to have child support modified to our favor. He is very competent and professional in court, he defended my husband and stood up for him like no other family law attorney ever did, cutting right to the point. He knows exactly what to expect in court and how to prepare. After a final judgement that nearly ruined our life and a very brutal ex-wife against us, he managed to help and get us the results that we desperately needed. Thank you James!! I’d say that he is the best attorney that you can possibly have on your side!

While a divorce is never an easy process, Mr Cunha made it just that. Not only does he know the law, he listens, cares, and is compassionate. He does not back down (in fighting for you) even if you want to concede. He is patient in explaining the process and makes sure you fully understand before you leave his office. Also, his staff consisting of Louise Baker , is also very knowledgable, supportive, and kind. If you want to feel at ease during a very stressful time, please call upon James Cunha at The Law Offices of James Cunha. You will be glad you did. The BEST Divorce Attorney in South Florida.

I cannot tell you how much James has been a blessing. It goes beyond the financial straights he helped us to get out of, but also psychologically and emotionally. For years I had been battling my former wife. And through it I had suffered loss after loss, and one impossible demand after another. It was a nightmare. The court orders were so demanding that I could not keep up with any of my obligations (rent, child support, bills, debts, etc.) without generous outside help and stressful financial juggling. On top of that, I had two previous attorneys who only helped to make things worse and get me deeper into debt. Everything of value I had I sold. Anyone living in Florida knows that it is one of the toughest divorce states with a strong anti-father streak. I had given up. It seemed the system was against me. I was broke in pocket and in spirit. Then my wonderful wife found James. At this point I had little hope of change and a dim view of attorneys. Let me tell you: James changed all that! We won our first hearing with James. Then another! Ultimately, we won the big hearing which changed our lives and gave us hope again! James is NO ordinary attorney. Not only is he highly competent, skilled, and clever, but also a great human being. When he sees a genuine wrong, he will work for you, fight for you, and represent you like no one ever has. He will not talk to you with a high-and-mighty-professional-in-the-cloud-robotic tone. He will not keep you at a distance so he can drop you at an instant without thinking twice. He will not fleece you of thousands of dollars for worthless service. You are not just another client lost in the stack of paperwork on a desk. You are not a credit card number. He will tell you the truth and lay out everything plainly. I also lived out of state, so 99% of the time I worked with James on the phone. James’s staff is also great (Louise you are a darling!). What James has done for me and my family is beyond words. We found compassion and genuine concern from James and Louise. He treated me and my wife like family! It has been a few years after my divorce, but now I can say it actually feels like it. We are on the road to recovery now, and I can actually make a living, meet my obligations, and move forward. Thank you James! Thank you so much! You are a great attorney, a wonderful human being, and a good man.

Mr. Cuhna has been a blessing to my complicated case , the day that I switched to his services it was the best choice I have ever made (best lawyer i ever had) ; he is very honest, has great defense, hardworking, dedicated loyal and I highly recommend him . I also want to say that his assistant Louise Baker is on point with updates, always goes a step ahead This law firm has the best team in the law field , I’m so happy to be a client.

I hired Mr. Cunha to handle an extremely difficult and complicated child custody case. He had to take over from another attorney who excused herself due to the complexity of the issues involved. He kept me informed the entire time, updating me, calling me several times a week, communicating with me personally all relevant information and making sure I was able to make all the decisions needed to have the most positive outcome possible. His office staff, including Tisha and Louise, are outstanding. Compassionate and professional at the same time. I was completely satisfied with the outcome of my case, and also felt that afterwards he did not overcharge me. His fees are fair and you cannot put a price on the peace of mind that you have once a difficult case like this is settled properly. I highly recommend him for any divorce/custody issues that may need resolution.

SCOTT HAS TO BE THE BEST LAWYER IN THE NATION. I HIRED HIM TWICE, ONCE FOR MISDEMEANOR MARIJUANA POSSESSION AND THE SECOND TIME FOR FELONY MARIJUANA AND FIREARM. HE WAS VERY REASONABLE WITH THE PRICES CONSIDERING I HAD TO PAY BOND AND ALWAYS RESPONSIVE WITH ANY CONCERNS I HAD. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT SCOTT WAS ABLE TO BEAT BOTH CASES BY GETTING THEM NO FILE. MY ADVICE IS THE SOONER YOU HIRE SCOTT, THE SOONER YOU'LL BE FREE. WHERE IM FROM WE CALL HIM "SCOTT FREE"

Hired Scott based on the reviews that I seen on here, I was facing jail time for something stupid that I did. Make sure you also get to know him personally he is a good guy, I am grateful for the handwork he put in for me. Please do not waste your time with other lawyers, Scott is very knowledgeable and he will put your mind at ease. Thank you Scott

I would like to extend my profound gratitude to the lawyer James S. Cunha, Louise Baker (Office Administrator/Paralegal), and his professional team. Yesterday was my final hearing of my divorce/separation case. I cannot express in words how grateful I am with how he handled my case. Since the first consultation to the very end, James S. Cunha, P.A. gave me confidence in me getting equal rights as a father. Not just a lawyer, but as a friend fighting for my right to have my son. He is BRILLIANT, outstanding, and very competent with every aspect of what he does as a lawyer. James is completely confident in making the correct choices, and guides you through this difficult journey. I never felt alone in this process, and to hire him has been the best decision I have ever made. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney. I am blessed and extremely happy with his performance. Thanks to the law office of James S. Cunha, P.A.., I had a positive outcome in my divorce/separation case. My personal opinion, he is the best lawyer in West Palm Beach!.

I was trying to get a 50/50 shared custody for my only son; my first lawyer told me that was not possible. I later came to Mr. Cuhna and explain what I wanted and he advised on the best approach. He and his knowledgable and awesome staff treated me like family. They always kept me informed and responded promptly to my emails and phone calls. They genuinely care. Mr Cuhna knows his stuff and his trial experience was top notch. The judge granted what we've asked for in Mr. Cuhna's skillfully and detailed parenting plan. MR. CUHNA IS THE GO TO GUY WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY LAW IN PALM BEACH!!!
