Martin G. Deptula's Lawyer Endorsements
"Martin is a true professional and devotes his entire practice to family law. His previous experience in complex litigation makes him an excellent advocate in family law matters. He is attentive and constantly up to speed on the most recent case law in Florida."
"I highly endorse Marty Deptula. We had two difficult cases together recently and he handled his side of them very well. Stann Givens"
"Martin is a superb advocate. He is smart, professional, and knowledgeable. Martin truly cares about his clients and puts their best interests first. He is also very dynamic, and well equipped to handle both litigated and collaborative family law cases. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Deptula is very knowledgeable in aspects of divorce and family law and a capable family law litigator. I worked with Mr. Deptula on a difficult collaborative divorce case and he actively worked towards reaching a resolution that was best for his client and the family as a whole. I fully endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Martin is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. His background in finance sets him apart from many attorneys who practice in this field. I attended a continuing legal education course where he instructed other attorneys about drafting settlement agreements, and I personally learned a great deal from him. I have been impressed with his intellectual nature, his dedication to practicing family law, and the fact that he gives back by volunteering his services to low income individuals (to which a great deal of time can be devoted). All the while he is kind and easy to talk to which is great for clients and opposing counsel alike."
