This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very helpful and honest

For the matter for which I received a consultation, I felt that Peter had tremendous personal knowledge and experience. But what also impressed me was the sense of integrity and honesty that I got when working with members of the Ticktin Law Group.

Ticktin saved my Palm Beach home from foreclosure!!!

Peter Ticktin and his stellar Ticktin team of legal eagles saved my 20-year Palm Beach home (homestead) from foreclosure in TWO separate foreclosure court proceedings, from 2009-2017! AND they are successfully pursuing an award of fees against bank giant Bank of America. Yes, they beat BofA on my beh...alf, regarding my mortgage foreclosure case. They are miracles workers, to say the least. I am a LONGTERM client! I know Peter Ticktin to be excellent, brilliant and shrewd attorney of honor, integrity and character. He can hold his own, and in fact prevail, against any opposition counsel or law firm, including “Big Gun” names and “white-shoe” firms. Unlike some attorneys, Peter Ticktin and his firm do NOT get sandbagged in any courtroom situation. They are always thinking clear and cleverly, and ahead of the curve, outsmarting their adversaries. Am pleased to provide the highest recommendation. He is a fighter for his clients, both with legal research/strategy and courtroom litigation, as are his associate attorneys. Many “AV-rated” are scholarly with much book knowledge but do not fight hard for their clients. The best lawyers have a bit of grit and street-fighter instincts in them. In the worst of times and darkest of days, the Ticktin law firm were there for me and never failed to rise to the occasion. Unlike some lawyers, Ticktin lawyers do NOT miss court deadlines, they do NOT miss court dates. People who have foreclosure looming, or other legal difficulties, are often emotional, difficult and temperament…overly involved in their own cases 24/7…i.e. people who are not the easiest to work with…but Peter Ticktin is stellar and standup and doesn’t miss a beat. He is able to think rings around many other lawyers and treats his clients like family. As an experienced businessman, as well as a well-seasoned attorney who has lived life, he is able to personally relate to and firsthand understand the curveballs, and the up-down journey of life, that his clients face. Likewise, any disagreement rolls off him, whereas he keeps going, keeps fighting for his clients’ best interests, even clients who can sometimes be their own worst enemy in trying to interfere with how their case is proceeding. Without Ticktin, I would NOT have been able to stave off 9 years of foreclosure, survive it, and have a happy ending! I have litigation experience with some of the best of the best attorneys in the country, including the late Johnnie Cochran, and also experience with some of the worst attorneys ever imagined. Peter Ticktin is top-tier.

i swear he was working for the insurance company i was suing

We were rear-ended while at a traffic light while on vacation in fl. The first attorney from Ticktin Law office was on drugs and was terminated 2 years into my case. Ticktin took over and I brought him all my medical records, which he didn't look at. When I went for a deposition a few years later..., he told me the opposing attorney was going for my house and I should settle. he frightened me and I settled. When I picked up my medical records from his house I realized he never looked at them and didn't know we were hit while standing still. I hate that man.

I did a thorough search through my records for a "Toby," and there are none who are PI clients. We have a tight ship when it comes to PI. We have top notch attorneys who handle these actions, and we do a great job with great results. I cannot imagine telling a PI client that someone wants their house. This has to be a bogus complaint. I would remember someone coming to my house!

Terrible TERRIBLE DO NOT USE

Please look else where for defense! They lost our case… hardly informed us of the situation. We have reported them to the Bar association in hopes they won't do harm to any others seeking help in their defense. They lie to their Clients, misinform them and pass around the cases in hopes their clients... get too exhausted to fight. We are taking our complaints straight to the Bar and PLease PLease Please do not use this law group!!!!!

I have no idea of who this supposed client is. My clients, for the most part are truly happy with my performance. This is probably one of the thousands and thousands of mortgage foreclosure clients we helped. We always advised our clients from the start that we might not win their houses for them. It is amazing how many we did win, though. I suppose that there is always going to be some discontents.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Suspension issued in FL, 2010

updated on 10/25/2017

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Peter’s comment:

“While dealing with the first suspension, The Florida Bar also sought to further suspend me for paying a New York lawyer a referral fee, as he was not a member of the Florida Bar. I accepted a 15 day suspension which was served while I was suspended from the first suspension, even though I did nothing morally wrong. I was guilty of paying where I thought I could.”

Suspension with Conditions issued in FL, 2009

updated on 10/25/2017

This means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Peter’s comment:

“My suspension in 2009 was for advising the shareholders of a publicly traded company that my client who I helped with collections, was no longer a part of the company. As he was my client, any action against him, even letters to shareholders was considered to be a conflict of interest. I was wrong, and severely punished with a 91 day suspension. It should be noted that there was no dishonesty on my part, and my honesty was mitigating factor. The Referee found I was of "high moral character."”
