Elite Family Law Attorney!

I highly recommend Mr. David Robert and the legal team! They provided a high level of experience, professionalism, excellent court hearing presentation, preparation, communication, focused on the overall well-being of the children, negotiations with opposing counsel, compassionate and the understandi...ng during a very complex / highly contested divorce. They working diligently and were very straightforward about the court process and the court options. My family will always be grateful for all the excellent work, experience, relationship and support by Mr Roberts! The best of ALL attorney’s

SO Grateful for The Roberts Family Law Firm

I highly recommend The Roberts Family Law Firm! They provided extremely competent, professional, and supportive representation during the course of my difficult divorce. My Attorney David Roberts and my Paralegal Lauren Gallant were always honest, empathetic, and available from the start when I was... just a wreck-devastated, scared, and clueless. They worked diligently and were straightforward about the process and my options. I will always be grateful that David Roberts continued to represent me even when I could not afford my legal fees mid-divorce. I truly don’t know what I would have done without their continued support! This is a firm that 100% cares about their clients and will fight for the client’s best outcome no matter how contentious and underhanded the other side may be.

Excellent Attorney that communicates with compassion

Attorney Roberts Family Law Firm is the best of the best in the Orlando Area. From my personal experience, they are aggressive and fight for your rights during the divorce process. The staff is very responsive and gets things done immediately. The legal staff is great with information and communicat...ion . My divorce case was stalled for 8 months and I had to fire my first Family Law attorney. The previous Law firm took over $17,000.00 of my money and wasn’t protecting me. I was losing everything. Be careful who you hire. Attorney Roberts and staff took over my Divorce Case in December 2024 and in May we concluded with a favorable Mediation in May 2024. Don’t waste your time and hard earned money with any other Law Firm go right to the elite team of Roberts Family Law Firm. I’m a Disabled US Army Veteran 100% Permanent and Total. Attorney Roberts is a Patriot to our Beautiful Country and supported me 100% and showed me respect and compassion. If you are a brother at arms and served our Country and need a Family Law attorney I plead with you to hire Attorney Roberts Law firm. Attorney Roberts will have your “Six” and you can count on him. God Bless Attorney Roberts and his elite legal staff.

The best!

All my gratitude for the professionalism of this team I sent directly to them but here, I want to talk to those who need help. For you who are reading my testimony and are living the unpleasant experience of a divorce (crazy - like most divorces) I only have one recommendation: close your eyes and... put the problem in the hands of Mr. Roberts and the team. They didn't just give me a hand: They carried me when I thought I couldn't walk. My gratitude!

Absolute Best When It Mattered Most

Expertise, commitment for the tough long work, depth of understanding and the compassion to simultaneously mange both the emotion and the facts of a very complex financial divorce with multiple children. From the first meeting to the final mediation David, Doreen and the entire staff at Roberts law... were incredible. From the moment I signed on the first, immediate action taken by Mr. Roberts was to secure top notch support (forensic accountants) where it was needed. My decision to retain the Roberts Law Group was once again reinforced when my ex openly admitted to me her “big name” attorney was frustrating her so much she was giving serious consideration to replacing her attorney/firm mid case because she felt they weren’t doing nearly enough to help her and that the Roberts team was so aggressive. If you are looking for a driven, fearless, intelligent, compassionate firm that does an incredible job of understanding both the emotion and all of the challenges of a very complex divorce look no further than the Roberts Law Group. While nobody wants to go through the divorce process, I am happy with my outcome and I strongly recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.
