I speak for myself as well as my granddaughter Chaney Weaver. We can not say enough how grateful we are for helping us win our case. We highly recommend this law office. Very professional and helpful. Went out of way to make sure our case was heard. We got our baby back in record time. This custody battle is over with Chaney getting sole custody of her son.

We’ve heard the old saying “ You get what you pay for” right? Well I’m here to tell you that not only do you get a professional team on every aspect of law but you get a team that cares in the deepest way. It was a long journey but Mrs Marvel, Faith, and Adriana, did everything possible to make it the best one. I am forever thankful. Mrs. Marvel truly lives up to her name.

I highly recommend Mr. Bancroft for his divorce services. His family law staff, particularly Ms. Brandy, was extremely helpful, communicative and compassionate. Wonderful experience!

The biggest mistake my daughter made was marrying her now ex-husband. The second biggest was hiring this firm to do her divorce. In 6 months of representation, we never had a single communication from the lawyer. Everything was done with the paralegal. After 4 months of representing her, he still didn't know how to spell her name. There were several other frustrations along the way that I won't go into detail of. Suffice it to say, it was an awful experience at an already emotional time in our lives. The fact that both the Lawyer and paralegal were no longer working at the firm within weeks of her divorce being finalized should tell you enough you need to know about that. We spent the next 4 months trying to register her car here in Florida. Finally got everything needed and found out from the DMV that the VIN number in the divorce decree and POA were incorrect. We needed a form from the court in Texas (Nunc pro tunc) stating it was a clerical error. Called the office to inform them only to be told they could fix it but it was going to cost me. Admittedly, I was not nice when I talked to the managing lawyer (Ms. Cuprit). How do you charge a client to fix a mistake you missed in your filing? I was told that my daughter never caught it either. When I pointed out that was because we trusted the lawyers we were paying thousands of dollars to catch those, I was told ultimately it was her responsibility. And now since her case was closed I had to pay them to file this form. I was told how they were doing it for me at a discounted flat fee as an incentive to do it efficiently and expeditiously. Received one email the next day telling me they had reached out to opposing counsel and she would get back to me by end of day after she heard from them. And then nothing. For TWO weeks. Despite leaving 4-5 messages with the office and writing 4 follow up emails. Literally no communication at all. Spoke to several friends that are lawyers in different states and each told me they've never charged a client to file this form. Checked online and my research showed the same thing (from Texas attorneys...I have the screenshots to show it). Two lawyers (one in Montana and one in California) even went so far as to tell me I should be filing a complaint with the Texas Bar Association. Since I don't know any lawyers in Texas and my daughter's registration was almost expired, I felt I had no choice. I understand if a lawyer/firm that wasn't part of the divorce proceedings were being hired to do this for us....but this was literally the firm we hired and retained for the entire process. So they gave me a "deal" of correcting this mistake for $500! And when they sent the email requesting payment, suddenly they were very responsive to my emails (20 minutes). If I could give zero stars...I would. If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, hire ANYONE else BUT this firm.

Attorney. V. Jampala went above & beyond in our case! If you want someone that is honest with integrity & truly cares about his clients, he is #1.

Great law firm! Very professional from start to finish! The experience of Attorney Valerie Hedlund makes her a great asset to the team! Case dismissal was the goal and case dismissal was the outcome!

Responsive, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional Attorneys & support staff.

Divorce is never an easy experience but Sara Casas, her paralegal Bailey and the team at Derek Ritchie took care of me through, what felt like at times, an impossible process. They constantly were fighting for me and my child's best interest, through all the turns my case took. I am forever grateful for all of their time and energy. I would highly recommend them, particularly Ms. Casas, who worked tirelessly on my case. I know that I could never have asked for a better lawyer and legal team.

Top notch. First class. Professional law firm! Thank you Derek Ritchie for all you do. You made what seemed impossible become a reality. Muniza is an awesome attorney. Congrats on the big win! Vanya, a true knowledgeable professional worth her weight in gold to that firm when it comes to dealing with CPS. And everyone else who makes it happen around there. You all are the BEST! I’d recommend this law office to everyone.

I am so glad we chose this office to help us with this cps case. They answered all our questions and helped us through all of it. They took all the stress out of this whole situation

Excellent attorney. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Outstanding legal representation from start to finish. This lawyer’s expertise and dedication were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for my DWI case. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic approach make them deserving of 10 stars. Valerie was exceptional.
