Our Eviction Process Guide

Living out of state and needing an eviction specialist to re-obtain possession of our rented condo, our initial attorney deferred to Robin for her expertise in this area. As in most states, tenants rights are fiercely protected (not those of owners and landlords) and Robin helped us navigate through... the complex route of notices and court procedures to re-obtain possession of our property. She displayed professionalism at all times, explaining the many steps of this process and responding to phone calls and emails when we had questions, She was even wary of our budget, notifying us of major milestones as the case progressed and not for all the minutia that occurred in-between. Towards the end when the Writ of Possession was imminent, we deferred to her experience as to whether or not to prolong the legal procedure for damages. We were pleased that this procedure took only two months. We were pleased that the tenant was evicted and full possession of the property returned to us. And we accepted the fact that the tenant apparently had no funds to speak of and we would not have gained anything by paying legal fees to seek damages. Robin was instrumental in obtaining our legal goals. We were disappointed in the financial (damage) result, but this is a reality all landlords must face, must deal with, and is not the fault of our attorney's efforts. We would recommend Robin highly to anyone in the same situation we faced.

Robin Pekkala

I was being sued by a large corporation related to real estate. Robin Pekkala was recommended to me. I do not live in Florida so communication was through email and phone. Ms. Pekkala was responsive, reassuring, professional, and extremely thorough. Because of her high-level preparation and comprehe...nsive approach to my case, she was successful in having the law suit dropped by the court. I definitely recommend Robin to anyone needing her type of legal services.

Highly recommended

Robin was hired to represent myself in an attempt to collect an unpaid business loan. She kept me updated and informed throughout the entire process. She was easily accessible with any questions I had . Robin 's rapport with the professionals in the courthouse resulted in a quick resolution to my cas...e. I would highly recommend Robin and would not hesitate to reach out to her with future needs. Finally I found an honest and trustworthy attorney!

She was quick to respond to my inquiries, and very timely in completing the work I requested. I will definitely be contacting her for further legal services and highly r...ecommend her to others.

Business lawyer | Feb 24

Relationship: Co-worker

"Robin is uncommonly smart. She is known as someone another lawyer would go to when seeking clarity. When we worked together she most frequently was the lawyer whose opinion was deferred to when there was a question as to what legal argument should prevail. Her reputation for knowledge of the law causes other lawyers pause because when she takes a position its usually right. Robin is also ethical and efficient. My experience of her is that she works to get the best result with respect for the client's assets."
