A MESSAGE FROM ATTORNEY RICHARD ANSARA:
"There are many lawyers to choose from, however, there is only one Ansara Law Firm. I have dedicated my life to defending those charged with criminal offenses as well as prosecuting claims involving serious injury or death stemming from the negligence of another. As a local trial attorney in Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach County I understand how to handle myself in any courtroom with the skill and knowledge that is necessary in order to achieve success for my clients. I believe that my clients should have unrestricted access to their attorney and should always be kept informed on the status of their pending case. I believe legal representation should be aggressive, affordable, honest, and reliable. Sticking to our principals has launched this firm into unimaginable success. I would like to thank our clients who have been our greatest promoters and God for always giving me the strength and wisdom necessary to maintain victorious."

The right choice
Handled my case expertly, communication was quick and accurate and his advice was spot on. Can’t recommend Richard enough.

Terrible
He messed up all my cases. When I tried to contact him, he would ignore me, blocking me and refusing to give me legal advice. At one point one, the sister of the brother for one of my cases, was bothering me, and I was seeking out his advice because I already paid him, but he completely ignored me un...

Replied last July 29, 2024Clients that want to be successful should listen to their attorney. You did the opposite of everything I told you to do and now you are upset about the results? You continue to stalk your ex-boyfriend and his mother even after the Judge told you to stop several times. Again, the no contact order stems from the CRIMINAL case not the injunction stalking case as you continue to claim. Regardless, not only did you continue contact but you literally CC’d the Judge and the prosecutor on your stalker emails. Who the hell even does that? Then you called the prosecutor racial slurs that would make a Klan member blush. The ironic part is if I didn’t do such a good job on your cases you would still be in jail and not sitting at home writing false reviews online. Last thing. If I am such a terrible lawyer why were you begging me to take on your new stalking case last week? My decision not to represent you stands. You need to find another lawyer. Regardless, I wish you the best. Try and listen to your lawyer this time.
