Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Spiro was very professional during the entire process. He answered all my questions right away and always advised me on the best route to take. If I could give Mr. Spiro 10 stars I would. I will definitely be contacting him for any legal help I need in the future. Thank you again Mr. Spiro.

Not Satisfied

I retained Spiro Komninos and paid $1,750.00 for him to look into my husband’s assets at time of death and to make sure there hadn’t been a divorce I was unaware of. I gave him all of our information. I found errors in the Retainer Agreement and by the time of trying to speak with him and my correc...ting the error and back and forth the Statute of Limitations ran out. There was nothing I could do. I paid to retain him and I had done and given all the information needed and trying to speak with him after numerous calls time lapsed. Not satisfied!

Replied last April 05, 2019

Nothing could be further from the truth about my handling of this matter. There were no issues with the Retainer Agreement, there was no lapse of any Statue of Limitations, and I had constant contact and communications with this client well exceeding the time allotted for in the flat fee agreement. In fact, this client fails to inform that she also filed a Florida Bar complaint to which the Florida Bar found no merit, and which specifically stated that I met all my professional responsibilities and duties owed under the terms of our Retainer Agreement and Florida Ethical Duties owed to clients. I was hired to help this client; I exposed all risks and uncertainties prior to being retained despite not being informed of all material facts by the client before being retained, and I fulfilled all of my responsibilities owed dutifully, diligently, competently and professionally - I know of no other way to practice law and live life.

Excellent Attorney!

Mr. Komninos was very knowledge in the area of law that I hired him for. He was attentive to my needs as a client and was available whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my case. My questions were always answered to my satisfaction and I had and still do have the utmost confidence in Mr. Kom...ninos. His knowledge and understanding of the law coupled with his experience and skill make Mr. Komninos Tampa Bays best attorney!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the privelege of working with Spiro at a prior law firm. He was intelligent, business savy, and a great tactician. All vital traits to a business lawyer, or any lawyer for that matter. He was also one of the hardest working lawyers I have known. He was almost always the last or one of the last attorneys to leave the building. Since we both left that firm I have had the honor of working with him on several litigation matters. His intellect and energy are both extraordinary. I have seen that he cares about his clients and getting results, not just about generating fees. He is a credit to our profession, and I look forward to working with him as often as possible."
