This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

May do well with real estate law, but steer clear for probate needs

I wish I had heeded the warning in this review before hiring Mr. Britton, but I didn't - much to my own detriment (please see below). I believe it sums up my own experience with this attorney verbatim, therefore I don't have much more to add myself. Overall I learned an important and expensive less...on: Pay close attention to warnings of poor reviews. "Not very responsive 2.0 stars Posted by anonymous October 26, 2015 Mr. Britton handled a probate case for me. After he was hired, rarely responded to emails and required multiple phone calls to receive any updates or answer questions. I had to repeat myself multiple times and reinform him as though he was unaware of my file. Also, the cost estimate I was provided before hiring him was exceeded. I believe his advice was sound - but reaching him for information was not as easy as I would have liked. Overall, I found working with him to be very frustrating".

Not very responsive

Mr. Britton handled a probate case for me. After he was hired, rarely responded to emails and required multiple phone calls to receive any updates or answer questions. I had to repeat myself multiple times and reinform him as though he was unaware of my file. Also, the cost estimate I was provided ...before hiring him was exceeded. I believe his advice was sound - but reaching him for information was not as easy as I would have liked. Overall, I found working with him to be very frustrating.

Recommend Without Reservation

People looking for superior legal representation in Florida should contact Richard Britton and the Britton Law, LLC law firm. I retained Richard Britton and Britton Law to secure protection for my Mother who has Alzheimer’s and had been purposely isolated from our family for a protracted period of t...ime. In under two weeks Matt Hinson and Richard Britton devised and executed on a legal strategy which resulted in an almost immediate and highly positive outcome in a recent Nassau County Guardianship matter. What is unique about Richard Britton and Britton Law is that this pairing is a perfect combination of seasoned expertise, legal sophistication and dedication to professional comportment. This rare combination IS why they were able to achieve what others could not and deftly penetrated an existing pervasive obstruction that I personally know is a block to just outcomes for vulnerable seniors in Nassau County. I know now that there are very few, if any, attorneys who are even willing to take cases that involve this obstructionist legal pairing. Richard Britton is an attorney of the highest caliber. Britton Law, LLC is a rare boutique firm gem that has the confidence to think outside the box, expertise to separate the wheat from the chaff and most importantly has the patience to help those who may be considered a legal underdog. I recommend Richard Britton and Britton Law, LLC without reservation.

real estate mediation

I have been to several attorneys about my real estate situation with extremely poor results in the past. It is extremely refreshing to have a honest intelligent and competent attorney like Richard Britton who is now handling my case. I whole-heatedly recommend attorney Richard Britton in real est...ate matters.

Posted by Richard | October 14, 2014

Trust Litigation and mediation

I hired Mr. Britton after a very serious trust estate issue dealing with fraud, forgery of a Will that was time barred. Attorney Mr. Britton used his extensive legal knowledge of trust and estate statutes to mediate a settlement for me in a 14 hour mediation marathon that was agreeable to me that un...did the forgeries of the Will that was time barred. I think Mr. Britton is very very knowledgeable and capable attorney but mot important is someone I can trust and is honest. Richard
