Legal representation at it’s best

While as of writing this review, I have only had the pleasure of working with Eric Appleton and his law firm (Appleton Reiss) for about 6 months – I can’t say enough for the relationship we have developed. I am President of an 800 plus Homeowners’ Association and we are currently in the middle of tr...ansition / turnover, creating new rules & regulations, and even undergoing legal dispute of “Election Fraud” as believed by a small handful of homeowners. With Appleton Reiss - you have professionals that understand the Florida State Statutes 718 & 720 better than any other firm around allowing you to rest assured that accuracy is what you will receive when in discussions with them. No detail is left up to guesswork or a quick glance over. Their discussions with their clients are logical and direct as well as easy to follow. This is a welcomed change from many attorneys. Eric and his team are both knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend Eric and his entire team to any homeowners’ / condo owners’ association in need of legal representation. Randy S.

Condominium Association Counsel

Our Condominium Association has worked successfully with Eric for over 10 years now and have always experienced extremely knowledgeable and capable legal work product, quick response times and the correct and accurate answers we have needed ongoing. Appleton Reiss, always provides the time and attent...ion to their consultation and cases and this is a big reason why we have the level of confidence and professional esteem for their entire legal team as this level of service is not easy to come by or find these days. We have been exceedingly pleased that Eric and his partners really go above and beyond to take the time to provide such thorough explanations, practical scenarios and probabilities for potential outcomes necessary to assist and advise our Board in making good legal decision making. Furthermore Eric, Keith, Michelle and their firm’s staff goes the extra mile to ensure that we are very prepared when facing uncomfortable situations such as in matters of codes enforcement, contractual disputes and condominium law in general all with a personal touch to see to it that we receive the best possible outcomes and follow up that is required for any legal situation at hand. This firm is both pleasant and professional to work with and more importantly we feel our associations money has always been well spent on their services. Additionally and importantly its worth mention that Eric and his staff regular conduct onsite workshops to provide our association with up to date information on the latest court cases and rulings as well as keep our board and staff current on the status of any collection matters being worked on. Appleton Reiss is the best full services law firm your association will find in the entire State of Florida in our opinion!
