Devin J Mace

Devin Mace was happy to take my $3,600 retainer, but then did nothing in regard to my case........he didn’t/doesn’t answer phone calls, he didn’t/doesn’t answer emails, he always has a family matter or is on vacation!!! I finally reported Mace to the Florida Bar, and explained to the Bar association ...that Mace not only did nothing for me/my case but that he should have his law license revoked in the state of Florida. Mace then asked the Bar association for some time to reply, and poof Mace magically had all this documentation of his hours/work, interesting seeing as how Mace never once documented anything he was doing for me. He never gave me an itemized accounting of his work, but of course he all the sudden had plenty of proof of work after he was contacted by the Florida Bar Association. Case in point, initially when I unfortunately made the tragic decision to hire mace, I gave him a box of old court reporting files etc.......and I told Mace that it is probably useless but if he wanted to hang onto it that was fine, jumping forward to my next attorney I hired after firing Devin Mace, my new attorney told me that the old court reporting documents etc were basically pointless with respect to going forward with my case. But mace of course, again after asking The Florida Bar association for an extension of time in order to defend himself, sent documentation to the Bar association stating that he spent hours and hours reviewing said pointless court reporting documents which cost me $1,200 according to a Mace!!! Long story short, mace then had the audacity to tell the Florida Bar that my total bill came to $3,900.......but that he wasn’t going to worry about the $300 balance due to him. Really, that’s amazing Mr. Mace, cause any lawyer I’ve ever known does not just forget about money due to them.......not to mention the fact that Mr. Mace not once sent me a bill and/or explaining to me that I went over the initial retainer. How convenient though, that once mace had to explain his side to the Bar that then and only then did he have documentation showing that I owed more than the original retainer!!! Come on, Mace.......really!!! Again, whatever you do........don’t hire and/or work with Devin Mace. And please spread the word to anyone else who may not have seen this Avvo review that they should avoid “Mace family law” at all cost!!! ~Kirk Stein~

I hired Mr. Mace and placed all my trust in him. Over time, specifically once my balance was paid in full, I could NEVER get in contact with him. He does not return calls nor respond to emails. Very unprofessional. He spoke to me like I was on trial, and did not consider my concerns. He never ev...en allowed me to explain in full what my legal end state was. He waited a month to reply to a series of repeated emails from me requesting an update on my status, only to reply that he would have to get back to me when it was more convenient for him. He will not hesitate to take your money or take you on as a client, but do not expect that a dime of your money will be well spent. You would be better off consulting the Internet for legal advice.
