Terrible Experience

Jeff Herman and his team are very unprofessional. They revictimized me truly. When I went to Mr. Herman, I had presented my case with facts and evidence. Jeff, Krisel, John, and Steve reassured me that they would help seek justice for me. Unfortunately, nine months after retaining them, they promised... that they were working on my case. I persistently called and asked about the status of my case. Once they realized that my case actually required some work and wasn't an "open-shut" case, they dropped me. They gave me no real reason, if I read in between the lines it was that it wasn't a high monetary return compared to other cases. It's one thing to turn down someone's case from the start but it is another to drop them nine months after you have strung them along with false promises. It was NOT because I didn't have enough evidence, it was simply because they saw cases as dollar signs which is shameful considering they claim to be a "voice for the voiceless." As a victim, this was truly traumatizing and saddening as I had confided in them my biggest demons and promised justice would be served. What attracted me most, was that the firm had two PI's and they were horrendous. They sat on their laurels of being reputable ex law enforcement however, when it came time to do actual research for my case, they were unable to actually do so, literally. It got so ridiculous, they insisted on me reaching out to my perpetrators, as my best avenue of gathering evidence. I even complied and reached out because I was so desperate to get justice. I had asked them when they first took my case to do a generic background check on my perpetrator since they claimed that they had sophisticated databases, however, it was not until my own research I found out one of my perpetrator's was on probation. Then the next week they DROPPED me. It was terrible that they put me in that position of telling me to talk to my perpetrators, the ones' that abused me and took so much from me. Jeff Herman then did not even have the decency to call me and explain why he was dropping me. He had Krisel call which was extremely cowardly. Please before you use this law firm, do your research. This is a common thing he does, look at some of his reviews here and on facebook. He then has family members on facebook review his business as "5 stars". He also has had his Florida bar taken away before, so think twice.

I will never use this firm again! Huge waste of time!

I will never use this firm again, huge waste of time in my opinion. The allegation is as follows: Krisel and Jeff Herman made false statements to me as a client, led me to believe I have a case, told me they would take the case to court for the state it has to do with, when the time came they didn't... hire a firm in the state it supposed to happen in, instead they attempted to get a new firm see if they would take the case, this is different than what I was led to believe. It is further alleged that this firm wasted my time, for months and months I waited for nothing.

Amazed!!!

Mr. Herman is a true professional who has made the legal process easy to understand. He treated me and my family with respect and was always going above and beyond to assist. He made it a point to know not only my case but me as well. I felt like I was among family when I went to his office. Due to h...is hard work our case was successful at trial!

My sexually abused son abandoned by his lawyer.

I retained him in Oct. 2014. I had four lawyers from this firm. Two left. He basically abandoned my case. The second lawyer said my case was in a mess and had been allowed to sit papers shoved in it. My experience has been horrible. I was advised to get a second opinion. When I did, ie the lawyer cal...led the firm he dropped the case a week later. I have caught him in several lies as well as being abandoned. He waited fourteen mths. to drop my case citing he did not have enough. He had his partner make the call. Do not hurt his ego or he will throw you to the wolves. The lawyer that he had call me said I agree when I said this is wrong. No wonder four paralegals have left and two lawyers have walked out. I would to. He is not a man with ethics and he basically abandoned my case.

Jeff Herman is a modern day hero bringing justice to victims of abuse.

My experience with Jeff was nothing but positive. From the start Jeff and his firm made me feel confident and comfortable. Jeff was always professional and kept me informed every step of the way. Talking about the details of my case was sometimes difficult but Jeff always was professional and never m...ade me feel uneasy. From the start, Jeff and his team truly gave me real perspective on my case and what I could expect. Taking legal action is a big decision and I wasn't sure what the outcome was going to be, but I am so glad to Jeff and his team for walking me through this and helping me seek justice for myself. I truly am grateful for a man like Jeff Herman. I was able to finally put such a horrible part of my life away because I had received justice in the end. Thanks to Jeff, my life will be better.
