lawyer review

Mr. Potter has represented The First National Bank of Mount Dora for over 40 years. We have always found him to be up front on all the issues we have presented to him. Very skilled in all areas or subject matter that we required. Most easy to communicate with and always willing to take extra time to... determine our needs or to brief us on the proceedings of our issues. He has been personable to the extent of establishing open dialouges with our staff and being readly available in whatever capacity we needed. We have been most happy with the results of the issues handled by Mr. Potter Aside from my corporate association with Mr. Potter he has represented my family concerning numerous personal matters and I and my family have been most satisfied with our relationship, the manner in which he relates with us and the results of our request. I have know Mr. Potter for over sixty years and consider him an excellent lawyer. One who would recommend highly to others.

Confidence and Trust

Del Potter has been my corporate and personal lawyer since 1994. For over twenty years I have trusted Del with my corporate and personal dealings. In that period I bought a home, owned three businesses, sold rights to businesses twice, wrote and published two books, adopted two children, got divorced..., revised my mortgage note four times, and wrote a last will and testament. Del has guided me in all of these dealings. I have the upmost confidence and trust in Del. You will find him to be quick thinking and logical, diligent in getting the job done in a timely manner, and easy to be with. I highly recommend Del Potter for your business and personal legal dealings.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
