Darren is the Best!

When I got into legal trouble I researched several attorneys and eventually found Darren. I am so grateful I was able to find him. He is an exceptional attorney who stopped at nothing to get me an amazing result. Picking Darren as my attorney and there whole team was the best legal decision I have... ever made.

Best of the Best!

My mom is a snow bird and visits Florida during the winter. She was out with her husband and a few other couples for dinner. During dinner she had two glasses of wine. Once she arrived home she realized she left something at the restaurant. She got in her car and headed back to the restaurant. O...n her way home she was pulled over by the police for driving without headlights. The officer said he smelled alcohol and despite it pouring with rain had her perform some tests to determine if she was ok to drive. She was arrested for DUI and taken back to the station where she took a breath test. My mom blew under the legal limit, yet she was still prosecuted for DUI. We thought this case would be dismissed but we definitely didn't see the fight they would put up. We became so frustrated with the process we decided to hire a private attorney. We were recommended to Darren from friend. We spoke with Darren who told us we will push the case to trial and and present the evidence to a jury if the state continues to prosecute the case. He had an overwhelming confidence that he would win my mom's case. The State didn't give up easily but on the morning of trial they did dismiss the charges. Thank you Darren for everything you did for my mom. Darren is a confident attorney and a fighter. I highly recommend him if you or anyone you know is charged with a DUI.

Thank you!

When my very bright young son made a very bad decision one night we were all just heart broken for him. Here was a young man who had worked hard all through school, top of his class, always kept his nose clean even through college and now this. A DUI on his record could have kept him out of the gra...duate programs he has worked so hard to enter. Darren and his office managed to have the charge reduced and I feel like my son's future is back on track. We are all extremely grateful.

I would definitely look elsewhere!

Once I got rid of Mr. Finebloom, things turned around for my case. He seems to just try and get people to plea, not once did I feel as though he really took my side, although he was my paid attorney. Yelling at me on the phone started immediately and seemed pretty much his style It was clear from ...hiring someone else in the middle of the case, that with him as an attorney that he could not handle an in depth case such as mine. I was really disappointed and spent very little time with him. Also, he doesn't seem to like many emails or correspondence from his client and I didn't have the perception that he was thought of that highly while in the courtroom.

I pride myself on being an advocate for all my clients and this client’s review is not indicative of my work product as a defense attorney, and more importantly, of the representation I provided to ‘Thomas.’ I am disappointed that Thomas was not satisfied with his experience. Thomas was originally arrested for a felony aggravated battery due to an altercation with a roommate. Within a few weeks, after I quickly filed motions with the court, Thomas was permitted to return to his residence and I was able to convince the State Attorney’s Office to ‘no file’ the felony charge and file on a reduced, simple misdemeanor charge of battery. Looking back at his case leaves me struggling with his level of dissatisfaction because of the focus, attention and effort I provided to him while defending the charges filed against him. Over the course of my representation, Thomas and I met and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his case, the strategy of defense and the potential outcomes. Thomas was updated constantly (both via email as well as telephone) regarding court appearances, conversations I had with the state attorney and case status. Ultimately, I explained to Thomas the strength of the case and the high likelihood of success at trial. This case was always going to be a trial if the State did not drop the charges and never once did I advise Thomas to take any plea. At no time during the course of my representation did Thomas complain or suggest to me that my representation was anything less than stellar. In fact, during the course of my representation, Thomas recommended me to several individuals, repeatedly thanked me for my attention to detail and constantly looked to me for advice. I wish Thomas the best of luck in the future. I will continue to provide all my clients with zealous advocacy and superior representation evidenced by the hundreds of prior clients’ reviews and referrals.

DUI Representation

The facts looked difficult from the outset, however, Darren found a techinical problem with the case. After many motions and hearings the State dropped the DUI charge. I cant thank him enough for all his efforts. He is a lifesaver!
