Excellent service!
Ansbacher Law firm - Barry Ansbacher, Thomas Jenks, and Zachary Roth - are a an amazing and professional team!! If they represent you, you can rest assure they have your back!! We were selling our property, and we had unusual hiccups, but fortunately, Ansbacher Law represented us in the best possible way, each one outstandingly as an individual, and as a team. If I were to recommend an attorney whom you can sleep at night with no worries- it would be Ansbacher Law!

Great Personal Injury Lawyer
Barry Ansbacher and his caring team helped me when I was hurt in a car accident. Unlike the big law mills Barry and his paralegal Teresa took the time to really look over my case. They explained the process and even took the time to help me get car rental coverage and a fair price for my damaged car (totaled). Because they actually go to court I knew that I would either get a fair settlement or my day in court. I could always get them on the phone and they kept me informed every step of the way. When my case settled and I was able to cover my medical and put away for the future. They even helped me get a discount on my medical bills.

Only a consult so far
Barry provided guidance on the next step. For me this was to contact another attorney that specializes in the area I needed. He gave me a few leads and left it at that. I think that was a good next step. Thank you

Extremely Responsive
Contacted Ansbacher Law with a sense of urgency. The operator connected me to a Legal Assistant that took my detailed information. Within a few hours the firm confirmed a meeting time with Mr. Ansbacher and accommodated my request for an in-person meeting versus Zoom. Barry and another attorney spent a full hour consulting with me on my potential case and were very specific and concise in helping me understand my options and next steps. I would highly recommend this firm based on their professionalism and willingness to meet my needs in an urgent manner. They made me feel just as important as any other client that may have more potential earnings for their firm.

Vari was awesome!
Vari at Ansbacher was friendly, clear, extremely professional and removed the typical barriers of “legal lingo” from our conversations so that I could understand exactly what was happening throughout the process. Anytime I reached out to get an update he let me know that he had already been working on one on his end, but would confirm with other parties involved to get a more up-to-date report for me. Ultimately, he resolved my issue with very little, if any hassle, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any friends or family. Thank you so much for working on my case (despite my hesitation) and getting us an ideal result!

real estate buyer
We purchased an investment property as out-of-state owners. Our realtor put a title company on the contract as the closers, but we wanted an attorney to review the documents. Barry and staff were VERY thorough and I'm sure helped us avoid many possible future pitfalls. I also learned a lot about FL law and closing documents in general and what to look for. This was an AWESOME team!

Great help!
Barry Ansbacher and his support staff helped me and my daughter with our accident claim. They walked us through every step in the process and helped us to get the best settlement possible with our insurance and the person who caused the accident. They removed all of the hassle of having to deal with the insurance companies ourselves.
