Posted by Tina | November 10, 2010 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Thank You!

Thank you for filing my emergency bankruptcy!

Posted by Jane | November 10, 2010

Very Professional!

I found everyone to be very nice and very professional. They kept me informed all along either by phone, mail or email. Any time I had a question, they were prompt to answer it. They never left me hanging for days but informed me same day. I would highly recommend this team and if needed, I will ...use them again without hesitation.

Posted by Robert | June 08, 2010

Very helpful through a difficult period.

Attorney and staff were friendly, understanding, non-judgemental, encouraging and helped us to file accurately. Couldn't have asked for better, more competent help.

Hired for uncontested Divorce

I hired Lynette as my divorce attorney in an uncontested divorce. They asked for a retainer, which I paid and they did preliminary paperwork. The papers were never filed for quite some time (over a year) on the delay of my now ex husband. When I went to have them finish the paperwork, they claimed... my retainer was gone and I would have to pay another $2,000!!! Needless to say, I hired another attorney for that price and basically got robbed of my $2,500 retainer. I would never recommend this attorney. You are on the clock every minute you speak to them @ $375 an hour. Run.....run away very quickly.

After a review of your comment, it appears that you have similar circumstances as the review above with no name. Our goal is to provide excellent and responsive service and if you believe we did not do so, I would like to know. You can reach me at [email protected] or 813-672-1900. ( Also, we do not charge $375.00 per hour.)

Avoid this firm all at costs!

I hired this firm and paid my retainer. It was a case that I was advised to wait for a response from my ex that could take almost a year to come. I was not told that my retainer would not carry over. When the year anniversary of my retainer came, I received a letter thanking me for being a client and... to let them know if they could be of further service. They were never of service in the first place. A letter was sent on my behalf and my check was cashed. My $1000 of remaining retainer... gone. When I called to inquire, I was told there was no record of me and that my attorney was no longer there. Was there something we could help you with now? Be prepared to pay this attorney but dont expect much.

You did not leave a name so I do not know who posted this review. I cannot conceive that this happened as we do not operate that way under any circumstances. Furthermore, if you were our client we would have a record of you. We have a very extensive system of keeping track of all of our clients. In addition, if I were your attorney, I would not have left the firm as you stated above - All Family Law Group, P.A., as I own the firm. If you would like to talk with me about this, then I would be more than happy to do so. Sincerely, Lynette

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
