My experience with this firm was very disappointing. The attorney, Dickens, I spoke with was dismissive and fast-talking, offering only his personal opinions instead of explaining the actual laws or reasons why I could or couldn’t sue after being fired on FMLA. I wasn’t looking for opinions—I expecte...d guidance backed by facts and legal knowledge. Instead, I was told to “get another opinion.” On top of that, the front desk staff was rude and unprofessional, which only added to the negative experience. I left the conversation with no clarity, no direction, and feeling completely disregarded. I was fired while on FMLA after it was approved 5 days prior. I was harassed the entire time of my employment never gave a reason of why being fired.

Marie cam highly recommended, once I hired her I found what a previous client said to be true "She could care less about you as a person, she takes cases that she has no intention on fighting". She strung me along for 2 years. She never knows anything about my case, always send other people to rep yo...u. I later found out the judge sent her multiple sanction letters for missing deadline. She responded to just about all of the sanctions stating we need extensions due to "ME" being sick (which was lies) and she never mentioned a thing to me about it. We got to the very end and she pulled out stating "conflict of interest " but could not explain to me what the conflict was. She happily walked me through how to sign the forms for the opposing counsel stating I will not pick the suit up against him later. All I could do was cry, I can't believe someone with these patterns and distasteful disregard is allowed to still practice. She would go months without contacting you. I believe my suit went as long as it didn't, no due to us winning but due to her not paying attention (hence the sanctions) worst attorney walking in Florida! gets you to sign that dotted line then her whole attitude changes! (that's if you can reach her again) gives one to many broken promises! her staff are sweethearts and severely over worked due to her slacking. make sure you check your own dockets because she will miss court dates, deadlines, and responses then blame you!
