This firm is all about money & only communicates when it’s about money. They wasted the initial retainer and then intentionally didn’t respond to justify running up another $2500. Their lack of interest in their clients is appalling!! I’ve contacted the Florida Bar association who needs to investigat...e their billing practices, lack of communication & representation. Anyone who’s had a similar experience please report them to the Florida Bar Association

STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM. My retainer was wasted, and no services were provided. Please take the time to read ALL the negative reviews carefully, as the positive ones are likely fake. I contacted your firm in March 2024 and paid to speak with Felicia, explaining that I only needed a lawyer if a tr...ial or motion was requested by the other party. I specifically asked that no action be taken and that no time or money be wasted otherwise. This was the agreement for me to pay the retainer. However, once the retainer was received, your firm insisted on reaching out to the other party, promising results. One email was sent to the other party with zero results. Despite this, Darryl Block, the lawyer in charge, continued to contact me, claiming he was trying to understand and resolve the case. I was billed for every email and communication, even though they were not requested. No progress has been made, but my retainer continued to be depleted. By July, Mr. Block stopped communicating with me, went on holiday, and, after returning in August, promised to prepare a request to send to the other party. I never seen it nor received it, but I was still billed around a thousand dollars for it. Shortly after, he told me he was leaving the firm. I was left without a lawyer, and the minimal knowledge Mr. Block had of my case was lost. No progress made, and the retainer continued to decrease. The firm promised that another lawyer would take over the case and review it at no additional charge. I briefly spoke with Crystal Phillips, the second lawyer, who promised to review my case and call me back the following week. I never heard from her again. No progress made, and the retainer kept decreasing. I repeatedly reached out to Felicia, the person responsible, but was never able to speak with her again. The money was in her pocket, and it seems her job was done. I kept submitting complaints through the portal, which was the only way to contact you, other than by phone where an operator would answer and say they would pass on the information. No progress made, and the retainer continued to go down. Another lawyer, Neyza Guzman, was promised to me. I received one phone call from her saying she would review the case and get back to me. But the story was always the same, I never heard from anyone. I tried to complain again and requested that my case be escalated or that I speak with someone responsible. All I received were more charges for messages I sent, and I was billed for “We will escalate your case” or “we will respond,” when nothing ever came of it. No progress made, and the retainer kept being depleted. In November 2024, I requested that the firm formally terminate our engagement and issue a refund. Now, in December, after thousands of dollars spent, I am still being charged more just for requesting a refund—$100, $30, $50—while my remaining retainer continues to be depleted with every excuse. While waiting for my refund, I request to have all my money returned, $5,000, since no work was done and 9 months of my time was wasted. Time that could have been used to progress my case. In the meantime, I will be filing a complaint with the Florida Bar in Tallahassee: https://www.floridabar.org/public/acap/filing-a-complaint/. I believe every customer who has had their money taken while no work was done, and only procrastination and excuses were made, should be aware of this and do the same.

I used The Fab Law Firm to file my divorce and was quoted a price of 3,500 with a max price of 7,500 if we needed mediation. I paid the 7,500 upfront just in case. The case ended up not needing mediation because the ex-wife and I were able to reach an agreement on our own, which we sent to our lawyer...s to draft. In total I spoke with my point of contact less than 10 times on the phone and less than 20 times via email. I was charged over 6,500 dollars for the work because they charged me for every email they sent to me and or the other law firm, and at times sending multiple emails (conversations) and charging for each response. I am not sure of many of the items I was charged for because it was just shown as hours they logged for work done on my behalf. I really don't understand all of the work that was done because the ex and I wrote our own agreement and just needed it drafted into legal form and submitted. The lawyers in my case didn't negotiate or write any agreement on my behalf, they simply took the agreement the ex and I made and put it into form for the courts, submitted it, and we were done, but somehow my charges still reached over 6,000 when I was quoted 3,500 if we didn't need mediation. In addition I was giving access to a portal to communicate with them called CLIO, however they were very unresponsive and hard to contact there. My case closed July 16, 2024 and I am now waiting for a review before the remaining funds are returned to me. I was told that Felicia has 30 days to review the file before returning the retainer. However I spoke with them today (Sep 19, 2024) over 2 months after my case has closed and was told that she has now been tasked with doing the review but she hasn't got to it and doesn't have a date on when she can because she is busy. I am a entrepreneur myself and run multiple companies, which is why I feel that this is a completely unacceptable way to deal with a client. I don't usually write bad reviews but I do feel like people should be aware of my experience, and hopefully save them some of the trouble I've dealt with.
