He’s the man as far as I’m concerned!

I obtained Christian’s service almost four years ago for a sealing of a case after another Attorney received payment and provided no service. He was successful in this task in a timely fashion and most of all communicated with me during the entire process. Even recently, he took time out of his day t...o research, explain and get right back to me regarding a question I had on a case long since resolved. In summary, Christian is transparent, honest, and proficient. He restored my belief that there exist honest, competent lawyers. I highly recommend this firm for all of your legal questions and more importantly, your legal problem(s).

Criminal/Civil Trial

Wow. I was extremely happy i had Mr. Straille for my lawyer to represent me. Even though i live 600 miles from Florida, Mr. Straille stayed in contact with me at any/all times for my Criminal Jury Trial. I was amazed at his thoroughness and research in my case, how he worked in the courtroom was a...mazing. I was found 'not guilty'. A couple weeks later, i returned for an 'Injuntion', related, and hired him again for it. Well, we lost that, the Injuntion was passed. But he was just as thorough., having binders and law books, and using them in court. He even basically proved, or caught the other person lying, but the judge passed it anyway. Well.. just like i told Mr. Straille, If i had been found not guilty, or guilty, i know i had what i believe is the best attorney I could have possibly had. I would highly recommend Mr. Straille for anything legal.

DO NOT PAY THIS MAN UPFRONT. HE WILL NOT COME THROUGH WHEN IT MATTERS.

If you reading nothing more than these two lines, I hope you find them of most use. DO NOT PAY THIS MAN UPFRONT. HE WILL NOT COME THROUGH WHEN IT MATTERS. On July 29th, 2016 the legal services of Christian Straile was paid in full for future work on a case. Mr. Straile, initially very eager about... the case, soon became unresponsive to all email correspondences. I have provided several of the emails sent to Mr. Straile as attachments. As a result of Christian Straile unresponsiveness, I was required to attend a hearing (for which I retained Mr. Straile’s services) without any representation. Following the hearing, I sent another email to Mr. Straile indicating that there were several questions I was asked to answer before a ruling could be made. I forwarded Christian Straile these question and I still did not receive a response. Christian Straile did not represent me during the hearing and made no effort to respond to my inquires leading up to or after the hearing. I finally received an email from Mr. Straile on September 19th, 2016 simply asking “What is the status of this?” I responded in detail and have not received any further communication from Christian Straile. Christian Straile’s failure to respond to multiple communications and failure to appear are inexcusable. I hired him for advising me on a University conduct hearing. His failure to communicate, and ultimately inability to be present at the hearing, guaranteed that I did not have adequate representation at the hearing. Putting aside the fact that all I wanted was for a fair and equitable hearing, Christian Straile ensured the opposite by not responding to my emails and bailing on the hearing. This guy will communicate very well with you UNTIL you retain his services. After he has secured payment he will blow you off. Because Mr. Straile has not followed through in conformance with ethical, contractual and professional obligations, I have sought relief through a merchant dispute for services not rendered.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Straile is an excellent and effective attorney with outstanding trial and negotiating skills. He goes above and beyond for his clients, and fights for them as if they were his only client. Mr. Straile's knowledge of Florida criminal law is extremely impressive. As a fellow attorney, it was a pleasure to work with Mr. Straile when he handled a criminal case for a client of mine in Ocala, Florida (a case which he took to trial). I monitored the case (in which he achieved remarkable results) very closely and was delighted to discover that he is a top-notch criminal defense attorney who zealously advocates for his clients. In the future, if anyone I know requires a criminal defense lawyer in Florida, I will happily refer them to Mr. Straile."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
