Exceptional, Timely Service from a Truly Supportive Team

I had a memorable experience with this law office regarding my family law case. After submitting the online case evaluation form in the evening, they reached out within hours, and I spoke with Attorney Daphane Stevens the next morning. Every interaction was warm, respectful, and handled with genuine ...care. The team consistently went above and beyond to make the process feel smooth, manageable, and stress-free. It was the kind of service you hope for but rarely find. Their communication was clear, timely, and truly supportive, which made all the difference. Attorney Daphane Stevens was attentive, compassionate, and prompt in her support, and Kaylee, the paralegal I had the pleasure of working with, provided organized, efficient assistance that kept everything moving seamlessly. Kaylee’s steady communication and thoughtful attention to detail added an extra layer of comfort throughout the process. Their professionalism is matched by the kindness and commitment they show their clients. From my initial inquiry to the final resolution, all within the same week, they achieved results in an extraordinarily short timeframe, showing both skill and urgency without ever compromising quality. Their clarity, organization, and client-focused approach set them apart, and I felt supported, informed, and confident every step of the way. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome and deeply grateful for their help. I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking a legal team that combines expertise, integrity, and genuine human support.

Failed to do job she was hired for!

On July 22, 2008, I hired Daphne Clements for a civil case. We had a contract and I paid her a retainer of $3000,00. On July 23, 2008 she deposited the check. This was the last time I heard from her. She took my $3000.00 retainer and never performed and services for me. So not only was I out the... $3000.00 retainer, but I had to hire a new attorney. To this day this money has never been returned. I hope she does not do this to anyone else. I did not forget the rating, she receives zero stars from me, but i had to at least mark one star. When I checked into this matter with the State, they said she had been suspended and I would have to file a law suit to recover my retainer that was paid and no services given.

Divorce lawyer

For me, she was the advocate I needed throughout my divorce process and we got a fair settlement. At 60, moving into retirement, I was scared about my financial future. I feel that we got the best outcome possible, settling at mediation rather that going through a court trial, which saved me alot ...of money and stress. Daphane was professional, honest, thorough, educated, supportive and guided me through an unfamiliar and scary time. answering all the questions I had. She was directly available for me whenever I needed information or an explanation. Despite the divorce, I enjoyed working with Daphane and her staff.

Unreliable, non-responsive, nightmare of an attorney

I started working with Daphane Clements in late May 08. Upon receiving my deposit, she then repeated failed to follow through and process my case. In four months, she only returned one message via email, and none via phone call. When I finally tracked her down on her cell phone and fired her, she ...promised to return my entire deposit and my file and apologized for not doing anything on my behalf. She stated that it would be at the end of that week. It has now been four weeks since we had that conversation, still no return calls, and no return emails. I alerted the Florida Atorney Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP), they informed me I was not the only one who had not been getting a response from Daphane. They said they would try and contact her, but they had been unsuccessful in reaching her as well. The worst part about this whole ordeal is that this was an attorney referred by the Florida Bar website. Daphane Clements in my opinion is the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with, in any business.
