I would totally recommend Attorney Carl Ohall to my Family and Friends! He was available, honest and worked hard to ensure my needs were met. We go through Life hoping we don't need an Attorney, however, if you find yourself in need, Attorney Ohall should be your 1st Choice!
Carl worked on a modification to my Marital Settlement Agreement. I couldn't have asked for a more responsive attorney, nor for better guidance. Even though the outcome was not quite what I had hoped for, it was a great end to what was an emotionally difficult process. Carl handled the case with confidence and compassion. He is down to earth, very pleasant and easy to converse with, and extremely knowledgeable about Florida divorce law. His familiarity with the court systems and judges is exceptional and his advice about whether to settle or continue the case in front of a judge was invaluable. I would not hesitate to bring my future legal issues to him and am happy to call him my attorney.

Outstanding Attorney
Carl Ohall is a phenomenal attorney, and individual. I had the pleasure of working with him for 18 months to bring the first part of my case to a close. Through the entirety of my case, Carl was there to thoroughly answer any questions. He is very compassionate, and there to ease your fears. He has great court room composure, and will fight for your case. I look forward to working with him again in the future, and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Highly Recommended!
I highly recommend Atty. Carl Ohall to anyone looking for an honest and caring professional that has his client’s best interest at heart! I found myself in need of an attorney and I made the best decision in hiring Atty. Carl Ohall to represent me! As I interviewed attorneys, I was floored by the reactions I had to my case of which sounded more like vultures to rob me instead of helping me! Carl came highly recommended and he was easy to speak with putting me at total ease. I knew in leaving our first appointment I chose the best attorney to represent me. He is not only knowledgeable about the law he has the skills to implement what he promises! Carl brought a swift resolve to my case and I am forever grateful to have worked with him!

Top Notch Attorney
Professional, Knowledgeable, Honest and Loyal. My husband and I have used Attorney Ohall several times, previous divorces, child support and to orchestrate our wills. We have never been disappointed in the level of service we received. He tells us the truth about our case and where we stand. We appreciate his level of dedication and neither of us would ever go to court or any legal matter without Attorney Ohall by our side. He is truly the amazing!

Please let me tell you why he was the right choice
Carl O'Hall proved himself the right attorney for my divorce case and I hope he can help you as well. He professionally handled what should have been a simple case that unfortunately became quite a challenging one. From day one through the post-trial negotiations and filing of documents and settlement agreement, he was on top of the game. From what I experienced, he was always a step ahead of the opposing counsel. He was efficient and thorough when it came to handling every aspect of the case. He singlehandedly produced documents and filed motions very expeditiously; the other party couldn't keep up even with the assistance of a staff. He was prompt, prepared and professional in presence and appearance at every court appearance. He answered all of my calls, emails and text messages in a remarkably timely fashion. He was honest with me and guided me through difficult decisions along the way. He was responsive and supportive when I felt discouraged and told him I needed encouragement or reassurance. He was absolutely a factor in my case ending favorably. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do, Carl O'Hall is who I will call.

Solid plan. Well prepared. Positive attitude.
I knew Carl was on my side from the start. He was honest and realistic about my case, but his positive attitude gave me hope. Although we were well prepared for trial, we were able to settle this divorce (long-term marriage and separation) at the last minute (day) before trial. I believe this was due to Mr Ohall's planning and preparation, and expert execution of the depositions taken prior to trial. I was quite satisfied with the outcome.

Completely satisfied customer!!
I chose Carl for my divorce based on his reviews and it was the best thing for me! He was always available and responded to my many questions timely. The entire process took less than 2 months and that was only because the court chose the date! This sour event in my life was made sweet. Thank you Carl!!!

Highly recommended
I had worked with other attorneys and they have since retired so I needed another to assist with child support modification. Mr O'Hall reviewed my options and explained them to me, he was very up front with possible outcomes and weighed pros and cons with me.

Assistance with an IWO
Mr. Ohall was professional and courteous in working with my ex-husband's attorney. There were times when the other attorney was brash for no reason, yet Mr. Ohall responded with patience and dignity.
I would recommend Mr. Ohall, as he is well-versed in family law guidelines.

Phenomenal Lawyer
Carl Ohall provided me with a service that I honestly don't believe I would have gotten from another attorney. I started my case with a previous attorney, which I dropped in favor of Carl based on a neighbor's recommendation as his client. Carl reviewed my case with honest insight and opinion while paying special attention to my concerns. With the uncertainty of my family law case and the vast implications from the other party, Carl provided me with reassurance and consistent attention to the progress of my case. His fees were honest and never brought up through the course of my case - and I honestly felt the service and outcome he provided was worth way more than what was asked, especially considering the amount of time he spent on my case. He held the other party accountable to progress and resolution of the case and resolving the matter in a way that was satisfactory for everyone involved. His goal was for mediation for a mutual outcome, but I was very confident in his abilities and skills when we thought the case might go to trial based on the other party initially. The settling of the case was better than I had hoped for and I cannot express enough how important it is to consider Carl as your attorney in any area of practice he can serve you in. There are few people who demonstrate the ability to see the medium, or common truth, in any situation and communicate it effectively and unbiased as well - Carl is one of these few.

Great attorney and very honest! Helped me with my family law case. Without Carl's help my case would of dragged on forever. He always reached out to the other side and kept the case moving.

Excellent Counsel
I have utilized Mr. Ohall for several years and I have absolutely no complaints. I believe that he is extremely tustworthy and knowledgeable with the legal issues that he handled for me. He kept me well informed of the status of my cases and was always readily available if I had any questions. What I appreciate most about my attorney is that you can really feel that he gives his personal best to his clients and that he actually cares about the person - you're not just a customer. That in itself makes an uneasy situation much easier to handle.
