Harold Weissman

Recently, I had to wrap up a post divorce issue. By the grace of God I found Hal Weissman to represent me. He's professional, knowledgeable, hardworking and perserving. He is an expert in his field. I recommend him without reservation. Not only did he solve the legality of this case, he and his staff... continued to be assuring and empathetic.

Harold Weissman is an outstanding family law attorney whose practice areas include divorce, paternity, and domestic violence. I had a legal matter that required diligent and professional attention, considering I am an attorney myself. As an attorney who has intimate knowledge of this profession, I k...new to be skeptical because there are a lot of attorneys out there who do not deliver on their promises. Harold Weissman is the attorney who attorneys higher when they need assistance. His experience and attention to detail make all the difference, and he truly delivers excellent results for his clients. Not only would I use him should I ever need legal assistance again, but I have and will continue to refer my clients to him who could benefit from his expertise.

I hired Harold Weissman for my divorce. My case was simple (as per other lawyers opinions); I went with him because a friend of a friend recommended him. MISTAKE. Every step of the way, I have had to chase the staff down for paperwork, information and follow through. The only staff member who was... responsible was Nancy their Legal Assistant. Everybody else didn't return phone calls or emails. Basically, I had to call or email Nancy and ask her to have them call or email me... And keep in mind that I am charged per phone calls... It started from the get go, when they filed my petition for divorce in the wrong county... They charged me for talking on the phone with staff that had made errors on my financial affidavit so i can help them fix it (all they had to do is look at pay stubs and punch in numbers...) No bill were sent to me for 6 months until I asked for a status of my account. The first offer my lawyer came in with during my mediation was the number Mr. Weissman told me was insufficient when I walked in for the free case assessment (my soon to be ex had made me an offer). Frankly, the whole experience was made worse by the fact that I had to chase the staff for action and then contact my ex to do their job cause they just don't follow through...

He promised to handle my divorce once I moved out of Florida and then declined saying he could not do out of state divorces. When I asked him to return the retainer of 5k he said he had already cashed it and refused to repay me. When I asked him why he gave me fall assurances- he claimed that was "p...rofessional advice" and cost $5000. Unprofessional behavior and lack of ethics. Disgrace to his profession.
