Wish I didn't hire him -- research him! call florida bar! read all articles on him!

Rakusin delayed my case, delayed filing motions, cost me a fortune, his office ledger for my case WASN'T EVEN DONE and there was no accountability whatsoever. He overcharged me so much and pled guilty to it in the Florida bar case. I had proof he was double charging not only ME, but his other c...lients for deposition transcripts... just stay away!!! Research his name on google! Call the Florida Bar! Ask around!!!! and I think it's so funny how his "5 star" reviews don't post their real names of their "real cases" -- I'm still dealing with the mess Stephen Rakusin did to me from "representing" me.... worst decision ever!
