Excellence in all things

My case is complex, crossing 4 states and 5 years. My wife with her legal background from London said ‘you need a firm of Super Lawyers with serious skillset for this job.’ Kelly Candela is my Attorney @ Givens Givens Sparks. Over the last 2 years , she has successfully steered my case a steady cour...se. Even through her maternity leave. Kelly’s diligence and determination are second to none. She stakes her claim in Court with a flair for the flawless. If you need an Attorney whose talent is the epitome of the consummate professional, hire Kelly Candela @ Givens Givens Sparks!

Professional I guess

I was referred to Givens, Givens and Sparks through another lawyer in Florida that my law firm in PA recomended me to. Talked to Stan and he gave me Kelly. It was referrals through what were thought to be credible sources. I wasn't immediately impressed, but though maybe that was because I am simp...ly not impressed by the entire system. Over time, Although she was very professional, did not accomplish any of the goals I had despite spending several thousands of dollars. Blame it on the system I guess was her moto. But no clear plans of action were ever defined and executed in a timely manner. I felt like a low priority client. I was blind sided by things she did not foresee and felt out maneuvered at every corner by my daughters mother's lawyer. It's a shame, all I am is a dad that wants to be part of his daughter's life.

Excellent attorney

I live in Virginia and had a short notice hearing I was supposed to attend in FL. I did some research on local attorneys to Tampa and found the Givens Law Group. I noticed Kelly because she was very affordable, young, and ambitious. After speaking with her and her assistant on the phone for the fir...st time I was convinced that this was the attorney I needed representing me. Kelly reacted quickly to my case, appeared for me, and WON. With all of my experience in attorneys, FL and VA, I would most definitely recommend Kelly Tobaygo!
