Awesome Job!

Retained Mr. Piccarreto to handle my divorce after my original attorney dropped the ball. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have went to his office first. Being an active duty military member stationed outside of Florida, we had a lengthy initial phone consultation (which when I called...he personall...y answered the phone when the receptionist was at lunch). Mr. Piccarreto took extra time to listen to my situation and to explain to me what his game plan would be if I retained him. He was professional, honest, and genuinely friendly. Unlike the first lawyer, all my phone calls and emails (which were numerous) were returned almost immediately. Things I did not understand were patiently explained to me, and everything was treated with priority to resolve my case. Documents were delivered quickly and right on time, every time. I highly recommend Kevin Piccarreto and the folks at Tinny, Meyer, and Piccarreto.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Dependable

I had the unfortunate experience of needing to hire a criminal attorney, but the fortunate experience of having Kevin Piccarreto as my lawyer to guide me through a trying DUI case. After meeting with a few disreputable lawyers, Kevin was recommended to me and after the first couple of minutes during... our initial meeting I immediately felt comfortable, confident and relieved that I found an attorney that would represent me with the capabilities that I was looking for. Having dealt with a few lawyers in the past, in my opinion, one of the most important attributes to look for is accessibility. If Kevin was available he would take my call, if he wasn't I knew that I would receive a return call in a timely matter. Kevin would also schedule meetings with me whenever necessary and always kept me informed of when I needed to attend court dates and always advised me on any updates in my case. Kevin made a seemingly regrettable process very tolerable and had an incredible knowledge of the state laws, statutes and case law. Kevin was able to get my case resolved quickly, painlessly and most importantly, favorably. Kevin has a wide variety of expertise in the law arena and I would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Disproportionate Fee, Limited Services, No Refund Offered I am posting this review based solely on my experience as a client.

Disproportionate Fee, Limited Services, No Refund Offered I am posting this review based solely on my experience as a client. I paid a $3,500 engagement fee after seeking legal assistance during a highly stressful and emotionally vulnerable period. The engagement was executed quickly, with sign...ificant emphasis placed on the fee being non-refundable. In practice, the services provided were extremely limited. No hearing was scheduled. The matter did not meaningfully progress. The work performed appeared confined to an initial consultation, a brief filing, and minimal correspondence. The primary strategy discussed involved pursuing relief in a jurisdiction where the attorney could not continue representation. That limitation was not clearly explained at the outset and significantly affected the practical value of the engagement. When the services were no longer required, I requested a partial refund consistent with the limited work performed. No refund was offered, and no adjustment was made to reflect the actual scope or duration of services rendered. Clients seek legal counsel for judgment, transparency, and proportionality — particularly during moments of vulnerability. In my experience, the structure of this engagement prioritized fee protection over client outcome, reasonableness, or professional discretion. Prospective clients should carefully scrutinize engagement terms, ask detailed questions about jurisdictional limitations, and understand that substantial fees may be retained even if little work is ultimately performed. Based on my experience, I would not retain this attorney again. — Catrina P.
