Excellent Results in Divorce Case
Mr. Scharf was straightforward with me about how he thought my divorce and alimony would end up from our first meeting. I felt that he gave me great advice and educated me on how the process worked. Even though I did not agree on how the system decides alimony, I knew in advance what to expect at o...

Excellent Family Law Attorney
He gave me good advice on how to handle my paternity action and would spend time talking to me as a regular person. He did not treat me like I was just a client but has a nice personal touch. He was always responsive to phone calls and my case ended in my favor.
"Without hesitation, I recommend Bram. He is an excellent lawyer. Do not hesitate to call on him if legal trouble finds you. He will take great care of you and your problems."
"I have known Bram Scharf for many years. Bram knows the law and how to effectively communicate his position to the Court or Jury. He is a tireless worker and zealous advocate. He has my endorsement without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bram is an outstanding attorney and a well respected member of the Jacksonville Legal Community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Scharf has been one the more recognized names in our legal community for years. I've personally worked with him on several cases and he never ceased to amaze me."
"I endorse this lawyer. Bram is always well prepared and aggressive in advocating his client's position while at the same time being respectful and professional of the opposing parties position"
"Bram represented a horribly injured gentleman from initial trial through the appeal, fighting non stop for the benefits this man had been wrongfully denied. Ultimately the appellate court agreed with Bram and awarded benefits to the client. Most impressive in my opinon, at the mediaiton, where we ultimately settled for $1.1 million, was when the claimant and their family wanted some time alone to discuss the option to settle, they asked Bram to remain in the room, considering him one of the family, for the care and passion he had shown for the claimant's well being above all else. This said more to me about Bram's passion and sincere concern about the client than anything else."
