They do not help at all

I have hired and paid 450.00 for this divorce. I do admit some forms have taken longer to upload due to deployments, but I have uploaded over 50 pages over and over because one little thing is off. This law firm doesn't understand it cost 5.00 to print at places and use their scanners. some of us don...'t have them in our home but do our best. I uploaded 11 pages and because I couldn't combine one form Rebecca kicked it back saying it all has to be together. What are we paying 450.00 to them for? plus on top of that you still have to pay another 400.00 to the courts for them to submit them to the courts. I feel completely defeated with this lawyers staff, they don't want to do anything but get the forms submitted to them without having to lift a finger. My ex even went to their office to drop off the forms to make it easier and they said no they would not accept them. they have to be uploaded???? they ask for forms and say no not that one without just simply emailing you the form they run around in circles to have someone email it. it has been a complete nightmare to deal with this attorney and his team. If you want to get divorced just go pay 25.00 for the forms and do it yourself. they are no help at all

Uncontested Divorce - No children and No Court Appearance

I went on Google to look up any legitimate lawyer that does not over-charge for an Uncontested Divorce and offers a Flat Fee with a Lawyer Representation (No Children) and I found Attorney Arnie B Gruskin with their free 30 minute phone consultation and all of these information is found on their webs...ite, floridadivorce.com. It is really just $595 total attorney fee with ($225 as down payment to get started and then pay the rest of the balance to move forward with all of the paperwork.) Court Filing fees is $413 which is paid to them separately after all documents have been processed. Attorney Gruskin and his entire team is very knowledge, diligent, supportive and patiently communicated and guide me to help move things smoothly with the process of my uncontested divorce. The timing and the speed of the paperwork process really depends on the cooperation of your (ex). Both me and the (ex) have to completely be on the same page and mutual understanding and agreeable to every single thing on the paperwork with no issues. Attorney Gruskin have diligently answered all of my questions if not him then its his staff/team that creates a teamwork professional environment. My Uncontested Divorce was filed with the court on August 22,2022, and I received the signed Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) on September 15, 2022, I quickly went to Lee County Clerk of Court's website to order my E-Certified Official Record of my Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) for only $8. Thank You so much Attorney Gruskin and his whole team for assisting me and helping me with my Uncontested Divorce. Attorney Gruskin is TRUE to his word indeed! Worth every penny! You won't regret hiring him!

Not recommended

Arnie Gruskin, based on my experience and perspective, is dishonest, unprofessional, and possibly a crook. He made promises that were not delivered, was highly impatient, and I’m still awaiting a refund for services not rendered. Unfortunately, the legal assistant’s openly intimate relationship with ...Arnie Gruskin makes it difficult for her to objectively and effectively intervene and assist. CHOOSE ANOTHER ATTORNEY .

Slow

He is slow and hard to get call back we have paid and now need to file I don’t know if it’s his staff or him but something is not right

Zero Stars

If i could give this attorney zero stars, i would. I’ve been dealing with him for 2 years now and my divorce hasn’t even been filed yet. There is no record of anything and he is extremely rude. DO NOT hire.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Arnie Gruskin is a highly qualified matrimonial lawyer that I can recommend without reservation. Arnie's knowledge of the law is superior, and his analytical abilities are first rate. He has been very helpful to me in understanding family law issues that arise in cases where a divorcing spouse files bankruptcy. In addition, Arnie is a caring attorney, and responsive to the needs of his clients. While Arnie will do everything possible to achieve a fair settlement, his trial skills add another dimension that makes him uniquely qualified to secure the best result."
