Posted by Demitrios | August 03, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

A lawyer with a heart of gold.

I hired Mr Drizis after my initial consultation. My case wasn't an average divorce situation, it was much more complex as I was already divorced for years. He didn't have to take this case but he understood my emotional state of mind and handled me with care and emotional support, of a kind that ou...r world has forgotten. I would've lost my home had it not been for his ability to go above and beyond just a divorce case. He carefully navigated thru my years old divorce and saved my home which I was about to lose. His knowledge and experience was worth so much more than his fee. Mr Drizis is such a professional in this arena and I am so fortunate to have found him. He gave me my life back and for that I'm eternally grateful. Thank you John and Irene. Sincerely.... Demitrios ....

Johhny Drizis is a Very Good Man!

When my wife told me she wanted a divorce after 30 years together, I was stunned. Then she said she didn't want to use lawyers because they'd get in the way. Then, 5 months later, she told me she'd hired a lawyer and I had twenty days to respond. When I told her I'd hired Mr. Drizis, she complained t...hat I'd hired a horrible lawyer with horrible reputation. SHE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG!!! On our first meeting Mr. Drizis said he saw no reason for us to get divorced and that he recommended counseling, prayer and romance to heal the marriage. This is not what I expected from a '...horrible lawyer...' that is '...in the business of separating distraught people from their money...'. Mr. Drizis cares about families and is one of the most open people I've ever met. He's helped me through very tough decisions and always with an eye on what was right, not how we could take advantage of my ex-wife. For example, I wanted to start taking alimony the first day of the first month after the divorce was final but he pointed out that since I was presently living in the marital home, it would not be right to expect payment until I had moved to my own place. I hadn't looked at it that way but he was fair to BOTH parties, which in turn, made me realize his moral compass is pointed straight North! As further proof of my lawyer's competence and honesty, my ex-wife changed her tune about Mr. Drizis telling me that '...your lawyer costs less and does more than my lawyer.' She was also very unhappy with her lawyer's office help and their '...antiquated, paper pushing, non-digital-age methods.'. The Johnny Drizis staff, Lisa and Dianna, made everything clear to me, were very efficient, always kept in touch, sent me the forms and filings through electronic media, and made it much easier for me deal with a painful situation. I cannot recommend Mr. Drizis more highly than this...although his sign says Divorce For Men, Johnny is looking out for the welfare of families that find themselves in dire, emotional straights. He cares about his clients, he cares about their families and he cares that he helps both parties make the right and moral decisions to bring their marriage to the least painful end possible. Thank you Mr. Drizis and God Bless you.

Skilled Lawyer; Trusted Friend, Man of Faith

I met Johnny reeling after an unforeseen, unwanted request for divorce from my wife of 15 years. I needed lawful counsel, but I also needed a professional to “meet me” in my chastening. My faith in Christ was all that was keeping to me together then, and Johnny’s like-minded and compassionate couns...el were nothing short of a God-send. I was led to Johnny's office through prayer and a unique invitation from his website; his site was one that clearly catered to men, but more importantly to me, honored love of Jesus. During my first visit to his office, he started by probing on how I might still be able to save my marriage. He even offered resources on reconciliation! What kind of family lawyer does this? I would say now, “An exceptional one!" Once we determined that my wife as not interested in saving the marriage, Johnny shifted gears toward my interests. With that said, he was always keen on my intent - where was my heart in this? He was candid that if my interests were selfish or not in the best of my three minor children, he would walk away from my case. What uncommon valor in an industry rich with greed and conceit! As a husband of a stay-at-home wife of 15 years, my primary concern was fair and ample time with my children that I adore. Florida law would make this an uphill battle. And despite the pain of rejection and abandonment, it was important to me that my wife was treated generously, fairly, and with dignity. Johnny delivered on all these and then some. I now enjoy 10+ days a month with my kids, and my assets were split / alimony set in a way that allowed my wife to successfully transition into the workforce while still allowing me to retain a manageable income. Johnny served me as his client with tenacity, candor, and professionalism; he loved me as a brother in Christ with compassion, humility, and grace. He enjoys not only my unqualified professional endorsement, but my unabridged gratitude. My greatest endorsement of Johnny is that I consider him not only my attorney, but my friend! Bravo Zulu, brother!
