Posted by Rev William Rusty Boles, Jr. | September 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Abuse

Crosswaver Christian Ministry, Inc.

Rev William Boles, I have a Charity for hurting children, Attorney Bartlett has been instrumental with his advise and wisdom. Many times I have had to refer to his judgements on cases where children have been hurt, in severe and confidential situations. All being guided by Attorney Bartlett to a conc...lusion to benefit the child's best interest. I find there is nothing that I would not entrust to Attorney Steve Bartlett.

The WORST family law attorney

When I hired this guy, he talked a good game just to get my money. Throughout the case this guy is missing in action 99% of the time. My scheduled meetings were canceled and rescheduled & driving from Tampa to his office in Pasco is very time consuming & then to find out he is there but doesn't have ...the time for you. In court he was eager to agree to anything the opposing party said did not put up any kinda fight. His billing is terrible its very easy to lose thousands of dollars with this guy KEEP YOUR RECIPES! Regarding this attorney for family I would say he is terrible, not knowledgeable, will not give you the time, quick to pressure you into an agreement with the other side via mediation or court, will not take the time or not capable to present the facts & for important issues as custody & family law in my opinion get a 2nd opinion! After all the mess this attorney created I did get a 2nd opinion from a skilled professional and he cleaned the mess up in 3 months and I got exactly what I wanted. For family law, custody & divorce as important as it is do not use this guy... terrible attorney

Steve will fight for you!!

Steve Bartlett has been my lawyer for numerous cases, and he is never afraid to fight. I appreciate everything he has done for me over the years, and I will always recommend him. Thanks Steve for helping me get my life back!

Family Law Client

I found Mr. Bartlett by a review online search. The best choice I made!! I was seriously losing a custody battle for my 3 year old son to his "attorney" father who knows how to play the game. Mr. Bartlett listened to me and my concerns and cleaned up the mess the previous attorney got me into. I have... sole custody of my son, who is now almost 7. He never made promises other than to do his very best to fight for me. We are still fighting multiple appeals and complaints from my ex-husband, through it all I believe in my attorney and his abilities to do what I hired him to do. Fight my fight..........
