amazing lawyer

Worked tirelessly to get me a settlement after a drunk driver totalled my car and his insurance did not want to pay out. Fought over a year for me. It was very moving because I knew there was little money in it for him. He never wavered and fought hard for me despite this and got me a settlement. It ...meant a great deal to me. His staff were always in contact to keep me updated.

Greatly Helped Me with A Unique and Difficult Domestic Violence Case

Bill Umansky took on my case after my husband was charged with battery domestic violence. In Florida, if the police are called, they MUST make an arrest (or so I was told). So, although I told the prosecutor that there was no actual physical violence and this was a one off incident involving other ...people (not just us), the state said, they could prosecute without my consent, even though I was the "alleged victim." I was flabbergasted that even though I had not phoned the police, and there was no evidence or history of violence, that the case could still be pursued without my consent and they were calling me a "victim." So, I found Bill Umansky through online search, met with him, and asked if he would represent me as a "victim's advocate." What was unusual (as he explained) is that a victim usually hires a lawyer when they want to press charges, which I did not. Bill took on my unique case, and proved to be an excellent advisor. He filed a Waiver of Prosecution for me, and kept me informed every step of the way on what was happening with my husband's case. He phoned my husband's defense attorneys (this happened while we were out of town of vacation, so the defense was in a city 7 hours away) and worked as a team with them. He coached me on what I should do if the case went to trial. Ultimately, the case was dismissed 2 days before trial. Thanks to Bill Umansky's great communication skills (he always gets back with you promptly), professionalism and experience as a former prosecutor, I felt confident through this entire case. Hiring Bill was an "extra" to our legal defense, but he was well worth it. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Florida has unique laws regarding domestic cases, and having an experienced lawyer is essential if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation.

Umansky Law Firm - Auto Accident

I was in my first auto accident and thought I could handle things myself but soon found out that an auto accident was a complex case and I turned to the Umansky Law Firm to help me figure this mess out. Mr. Umansky and Mrs. Pillmen calmed me down and walked me through my case. The Umansky Law Firm st...ayed on my case working to resolve many issues along the way. They keep me up to date on the case and exceeded my expectations for settling the case. My family and I wouldn't be moving in a positive direction without their hard work and expertise in handling my auto accident. I recommend you call the Umansky Law Firm when you need legal help.

Highly recommend

I received a letter in the mail for a status hearing. I thought this was an issue that I could resolve myself. I had the letter for a few weeks before seeking legal advice. I called Umansky law firm and was given a same day appointment. I walked in unaware of a warrant for a case that was 25 years ol...d. Mr. Umansky and his team took immediate action. Every aspect of the case was thoroughly explained to me. This law firm staff are very efficient, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. I was informed immediately of the process through out the entire case. My case has been resolved and I am very impressed with the entire firm. Mr. Umansky and his staff are a winning team.

My Experience

The Umansky Law Firm is by far the best that there is, reason why I say that is because he actually took his time to review everything that there is to know about me before he starting working on my case to assure that this was something he could handle. And of course knowing him this wasn't somethin...g easy but he made sure that I was well taken care of. And I just would like to thank him and the team for everything that they've done for me.
