Trust/Guardianship Litigation

Posted by

Del has represented our company in several litigations and has performed extremely well in all of them, and not just because he won all of them. He was very communicative during each case, keeping me up to date on a timely basis. His personable manner made it easy to talk to him and he allows takes the time for further explanation, when needed, and, I could count on Del to follow up when he said he would. Finally, we appeared before three different judges and I could tell that he had earned the respect of all of them by the way they interacted with him. I would highly recommend Del for any of his areas of expertise.

Excellent

Posted by

Del Potter has represented me in a complex series of corporate formations and real estate transactions over the course of 10 years. Throughout the entire process, which included successful defense of a harassment lawsuit (and recovery of attorney's fees against the plaintiff), Mr. Potter has been extremely effective, reliable and professional. He has developed true expertise accross a broad range of legal specialties and can provide insight into virtually any business, or even personal, matter. Perhaps most impressive is that his accumulated wisdom comes with extraordinary calm and patience. Del will tell you what he thinks in a direct, accurate and respectful manner. This man is an excellent lawyer.

Easement

Posted by

Del Potter looks out for his clients. Let me explain... I recently purchase a new home along with the adjoining lots. I asked for Del Potter to handle the closing and paperwork as I have dealt with his office numerous times in the past and have always been 100% satisfied. Before the closing day Mr. Potter found a concern with the easement on the survey. I am not sure anyone else would have picked up on such detail except for Mr.Potter. What seemed to be a minor difference in survey easements could have resulted future nightmares with inaccurate survey measurements. I appreciate his attention to detail on this matter. I highly trust and recommend Del Potter for any attorney services as he will always have your back.

I have known Del Potter for many years. I have not only consulted with him on legal matters, but used him as a mediator. He has been exceptionally knowledgeable and professional on all occasions.

I have known and had cases against Del Potter for 25 years. He is well known and highly regarded thoughout Lake County and surrounding communities. He knows the law and will assess cases accurately. I have no doubt he provides the soundest of advice. And I say that as someone who has been on the other side of disputes with his clients.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I had the pleasure of working with Del Potter for approximately 9 years. Mr. Potter is a highly respected member of the Florida Bar and is widely viewed as one of the top lawyers in the state. Mr. Potter has patiently and graciously served as a mentor and adviser to many younger attorneys and is a "go to" for advice. In litigation, real estate and estate planning, Mr. Potter has the experience and skill that you would want in your attorney. It is without hesitation that I endorse Del Potter.

Attorney Potter is a great lawyer. He quickly and easily assesses complex matters. He is widely recognized as one of the best lawyers in the County because he is. I strongly endorse Mr. Potter to you and do not hesitate seeking his counsel and opinion on my most complex cases.
