I just settled a dispute with my former landlord over prepaid rents and rent deposits. The landlord had previously agreed to release me from my lease so that I could purchase a home. Shortly after I terminated my lease and moved out, the landlord began stringing me along saying that her attorneys... (a high-power firm in Sarasota) had told her that she could keep all of my prepaid rents and deposits and return nothing to me. We are talking to an excess of $13,000, so I contacted Attorney Derek DiPasquale based upon his Avvo reviews. Mr. DiPasquale was able to quickly get me a very favorable resolution without the need to go to court. Attorney DiPasquale was always available to respond to my questions and concerns, but more importantly, he provided me with excellent legal guidance. He definitely knows his legal subject matter, and was fully prepared to handle my case. He also knows his way around the local legal circles, and I found him to be very fair, honest, and knowledgeable. I am very pleased with Attorney DiPasquale, and will re commend him to anyone who needs a high-quality legal mind in his corner. In fact, when my situation was resolved, I grabbed several of his business cards to pass along to my friends, and more importantly, to keep for myself, should I need to speak with an attorney in the future. In my opinion, Attorney DiPasquale is one of the best attorneys that I have encountered in my 56 year old life which includes my 24 year federal law enforcement officer career.

I highly recommend Derek DiPasquale. I have had legal issues in the last 4 years. He is very accesible. He returns phone calls, and emails in a very timely manner. He is also very personable and makes his clients feel that he truly cares. I have worked for attorneys, hired other attorneys in the las...t 25 years. Mr. DiPasquale is by far the top. He also will do whatever needs to get done even if it means stepping in because the opposing partys attorney is s slacker. I obviously highly recommend him.

Derek provided excellent legal advice for me in a dispute with a local home builder involving a claim against his warranty, and negotiated a very reasonable outcome with the builder's representative. I have the utmost respect for his legal knowledge and professionalism, and would not hesitate to rec...ommend his services.
