Not always Professional and Prepared

It’s very unfortunate that I have to write this review. I am not the type to write reviews, but when situations like these happen, I feel the urge to have to. Madelin assisted me back in 2018 with my divorce. I was fortunate enough to get everything I wanted. That does not mean it came easy. Madelin ...does not do well with being challenged. She is used to her clients being quiet and just going with everything she says. I feel differently. If I am paying $375-$400 an hour for a service, I feel that I have the right to ask questions and challenge. The second time around. I had to use Madelin for another situation with the initial divorce. Once again we ran into the same issue. When you challenge her, she immediately raises her voice and begin to tell you to be quiet or shut up. I do not feel that is the right way to treat a client. She got upset because I refused to take her advice about taking a deal on a temporary restraining order. I knew I was right and had to win the case and told her several times to not take the deal and continue with the fight. She told me she did not think we would win. Not once is she positive. Well, we ended up winning. Now don’t get me wrong. Madelin is very outgoing and an AMAZING person when she is not being challenged. So if you want to sit back and not worry and ask questions and be informed, then she’s your person. But if you are like me and like to be Involved and ask questions, then she is not the one for you. Lastly, during court, I did not feel she was 100% prepared. She had a lot of studdering and would get lost. This is my sincere experience with her. Her office staff is amazing. And again, don’t challenge or ask questions and Madelin is Excellent. I then told her I will not be having her as my attorney anymore. And she charged me 1.5 hours of work to submit a document of withdrawal. In other words, about $560 to fire her. Incredible.

BEST ATTORNEY IN TOWN!

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Mrs. Diaz represent me through my divorce. She was very knowledgeable, professional, straight to the point and effective attorney. Yet she was also very caring and always available when I had a question/concern. I'll forever be grateful for ...all the effort she put in to represent me. I highly recommend her with complete confidence.

More than a Lawyer...a Partner!

I highly recommend Ms. Diaz to anyone venturing into the unfortunate situation of divorce, custody or any family law issue. Ms. Diaz was instrumental in helping me modifying a 6 year old agreement in Broward County. Many other attorneys told me that there was no way to get this done. Ms. Diaz wa...s able to get this done for me and my children all while dealing with a non-cooperative opposing team and at an affordable cost. These types of situations are usually emotionally charged by both sides of the case and can become quite contentious as a result. Throughout the lengthy process, Ms. Diaz kept me well informed of the facts and focused on the end goal. I am eternally grateful to Ms. Diaz for her professionalism, incredible ability to deliver and most of all, the personal touch with which she handled my case and situation. Thank you Ms. Diaz! JFG

Best Decision EVER!!!!

I went back and forth on who to hire to handle my divorce. I was referred to Madelin by a friend who also hired Madelin for her divorce. I can honestly say Madelin was and continues to be amazing! Best decision I ever made to hire her to represent me! From the start Madelin was very honest and pr...ofessional and explained everything to me in detail. I put my trust and life in her hands and she made this whole process a lot easier. Anytime I had a question, I would either call the office or message her and she would always reply. I highly recommend her and her staff to help anyone who is going through a divorce, or any other family legal matter.

My divorce attorney Madelin Diaz is superb!

I was referred to Mrs. Diaz by a friend who retained her for her divorce case. Upon meeting her I felt that she not only empathized with my case but that she could effectively communicate my requests to any other lawyer or judge. She and her friendly staff constantly kept in touch with me and respond...ed to my needs promptly. I always felt confident that I was getting the best advice and a strong defense from an experienced professional. I am very grateful to have worked with her at one of the most difficult moments in my life.
