Unprepared

Mr. Ayo was optimistic about our case when we hired him. However leading up to the date of court Mr Ayo was impossible to contact. We finally got in contact with him and agreed to meet before our court hearing. As we began talking through the case it was clear Mr. Ayo had not prepared as he knew very... little about our situation. Not surprisingly we did not win our hearing. Unfortunately we had already given him a $5000 retainer and were forced to continue to rely on his services. His work ethic and preparedness never improved as we lost our next 2 hearings as well.

We are sorry you had a bad experience in our office. Unfortunately we sometimes "lose" at hearings. We work in a profession where judges make the decisions after hearing presentations from attorneys. It is important to us to provide a "win" for our client but in the real world that does not happen 100% of the time. But we do want all clients and potential clients to have a positive experience during every contact with our firm. And we take every step to strive for a win for all of our clients. I would encourage you to call me directly at 800-469-3486. I will personally respond to your concern and make every effort to educate you about our capabilities and what we can do with your personal situation. Ayo and Iken values your input and will continue to make every effort to achieve high levels of client satisfaction. You can also find extensive and valuable information on our website: www.myfloridalaw.com . Thank you for your feedback.

Very grateful for great work

I had the pleasure of working with Alberto Ayo and his assistant Melissa Robinson. Both were absolutely fantastic. They made everything very easy for me. They were eager to explain things, answer my questions and communicate promptly. They were there for me through every step of the process, with all... necessary instructions and reminders. I would definitely recommend Ayo & Iken services to anyone looking for professional and knowledgeable representation. Mr. Ayo and Melissa, thank you so much!! You are the best! I am forever grateful.

Mr Alberto Ayo

Mr Ayo was my attorney in the case of changing my parenting plan. My situation was very different because I am active duty military out of the state of florida. He was very aggressive and knowledgeable. He took the right steps at the right time. I am very glad. I hired him and very satisfied with ...the results of my case.

Order against me

My experience with Alberto Ayo was very pleasant and professional. I currently live in Georgia and I was looking for someone to represent me in Tampa, FL for a case that was filed against me. Mr. Ayo was hired based on a recommendation that was given to by an attorney in Georgia. He was extremely ...knowledgeable and very aware of how to defend my case. When going to court he had all the facts lined out and was completely prepared to defend me. My trail was short and sweet leaving me incident and all charges dropped. It was comforting that I had the legal representation that understood what was needed when it was needed and that I was cleared of all accusations against me. I would highly recommend Mr. Ayo and his team to anyone out there.

AMAZING!!!!!!

I can recall my first appointment with Attorney Mr. Ayo, I was worried because ive always heard horror stories when starting the divorce process. He office was very warm and inviting and as soon as he introduced himself he showed concern and wanted to make sure I felt comfortable. His was very detail...ed, made sure I understood, and expressed himself in a very confident manner. I walked out knowing I made the right decision in choosing Mr. Ayo as my lawyer. Through the entire process he was very supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to my case. My case is final now and I am more than happy with the outcome. Thank you very much for everything Mr.Ayo.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am honored to have been asked to endorse attorney Alberto Ayo. Mr. Ayo is a renowned family law practitioner who has successfully handled numerous high-profile cases and the media frequently seeks his expertise in family law matters. Mr. Ayo is an accomplished, fearless, but fair and compassionate litigator in court and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has a family law matter to resolve. What impresses me most about Mr. Ayo is his compassionate advocacy for the rights of underprivileged. Mr. Ayo never tolerates domestic or other abuse of the defenseless and I have seen him over and again fight for the rights of children and women who had no one else but him stand up for them."
