Great experience overall having Mr. Haskins as my attorney. Jesse understands his client, very insightful and is an expert in his field. Truly a professional and marvelous individual.
Through his broad experience in the government and private sectors, Jesse knows how to navigate the labyrinth of compliance, risk management, and strategic planning. Jesse served as assistant attorney general for the State of Florida. In this capacity, he handled a range of civil litigation, from prisoners’ civil rights complaints to challenges about the adequacy of funding for Florida’s public universities. Jesse also served as assistant general counsel for the Florida Department of Financial Services, where he handled matters relating to workers’ compensation compliance, bankruptcy, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). His experience representing the government as both a regulator and a creditor puts Jesse’s clients in a strong position to flourish in spite of government regulations, to manage risks, and to thrive financially.
But it’s not just about experience. Community and professional engagement matters. The President of the Florida Bar appointed Jesse to serve on the Governmental and Public Policy Advocacy Committee. Groups like the Florida Food Policy Council, Florida Organic Growers, and the American Bar Association consistently invite Jesse to speak and write. Jesse is also a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the American Bankruptcy Institute, the American Agricultural Law Association, and the American Bar Association. Jesse graduated from the Duke University School of Law in 2009 and is admitted to practice law in Florida and North Carolina.

Jesse is a true professional
We were so lucky to work with Jesse in a personal matter. He is truly a professional at what he does. He took the time to listen, support and guide us through a very stressful situation. I felt empowered to have him by our side. He was always available when we needed him, even on weekend and evenings. He was prompt at getting back to us with updates and changes. He fees are fair as well! If you ever need a lawyer chose him. We are so thankful for him.

Social media defamation/slander
Contacted Mr. Haskins in regards to an individual slandering me on social media to a degree that could hinder my personal and professional life.
We agreed to make the first step with a cease and desist letter. Mr. Haskins quickly created the draft and made sure any input/issues I had we're considered.
The letter was promptly sent out and sure enough was received from the offender after which the defaming social media content was removed.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the results!

An Excellent, Hard Working and Caring Attorney
My experience with Mr. Haskins is nothing short of amazing. I had a bit of a unique situation and Mr. Haskins spent a lot of time asking me thorough questions, went over the details and got back to me immediately with a plan to proceed.
He is very reasonable with his fees and is very flexible and understanding with everyone's situations.
He has an excellent reputation and has always been available to answer any questions I had in a very timely manner.
I will continue to have Mr. Haskins represent me in any other future legal matters.

My hero
This man is my hero, he won the first go around and now we are on to the second. Have you ever met someone who surpassed your expectations. I will put it like this, if Perry Mason and Matlock had a child it would be Mr. Haskins. He is not only professional, he takes your case seriously and has a no lose attitude , which is what you want. He has done for me what no one else could. If you want a jam up lawyer , this is him. I truly can not say enough good about him.
