This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Expertise and Efficiency

I contacted Tara David to probate my fathers condominium in Pompano Beach. I thought this would be a very expensive ordeal and would take a long time to resolve. To my delight Ms. David showed me a way I could save thousands of dollars and she finished the entire process in only 3 months! I’m so reli...eved to have this handled. Tara David is professional, extremely knowledgeable, efficient and she returned all my communications immediately. I highly and enthusiastically recommend the law offices of Tara David!

Wonderful attorney-easy to work with

Tara has been a wonderful resource to our family. She is responsive, professional, and helps to keep the process moving along. Establishing Estate documents can be a daunting task , but she keeps everything simple and easy to accomplish. Her fees are reasonable and fair and I would highly recommend h...er to young families.

Excellent Attorney

Tara Scardina worked with my family to create a will. She was respectful to us, answered all my questions, and helped us through the process step by step.

Posted by anonymous | June 30, 2015

Understanding and Knowledgeable

I was nervous to reach out to an attorney because I find them intimidating but when I was recommended to Ms. Scardina and contacted her, she put my mind at ease and helped me get things in order which I very much needed to do. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and Knowledgeable a...ttorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
