Caring lawyer that wins

This man is awesome! I got in an accident a little while ago was not my fault. insurance wanted to pay me $700 dollars for the accident.damage was around 7,000 they wouldn't call they wouldn't send an adjuster out. they were just nasty. But then they started calling me two three times a day from some... telemarketed service telling me I need to take the 700 so they can close the case. I was like no and call this gentleman. he walked me through the whole process helped me all the way.and we won I got the money I needed to fix my car plus medical bills it was a good day he's a truly caring lawyer which is rare I highly recommend this gentleman and God forbid if I get in another accident and this goes on again I'll be calling him again

Excellent service

Excellent firm. Brendan and Melody worked endlessly on my custody case. They were both responsive, professional, and understanding. I can't thank them enough for all the hard work and Melody really kept us going anytime we started to feel the effects of battling a custody case in court. I will contin...ue to use this firm in any future events that may occur.

Divorce

I had to hire Brandon recently unfortunately for a divorce. The law firm is not huge and I like giving back to my community. My experience was positive in terms of the service I recieved and I would most certainly recommend the office for anyone needing a lawyer for family law. Lisa and Melody were a...lso amazing for a sympathetic ear for a woman going through a divorce. May God bless you of you every need a lawyer for family law.

Posted by Elisha | December 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Professional, prompt and exceptional service

After exploring the options for civil trial attorneys in Tampa, I decided to hire Brendan to handle my case, and it was the best decision I ever made. Right off the bat in the free consultation you could tell that Brendan was very knowledgeable and experienced in Florida civil law. Most importantl...y, he was always honest and upfront with me about the facts of my case. He was also very reasonable with his price, and you can tell he really wants to help you! In the end he came through for me tenfold. I could not be more grateful for his help, and everything he has done for me. If you want an attorney to go to bat for you, this is your guy!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
