Grateful Client

I’m new to the divorce experience & learned that it can be a long, exhausting, costly & emotional process. I feel that it’s my responsibility to bring facts to the table, but I could not accomplish a positive outcome without the knowledge of the law, experience, & integrity of the entire Kantaras La...w team. They continue to help me navigate through a very stressful time & the outcome so far has been more than I could have hoped for. I am very grateful for their legal counsel. More to follow.

An investment worth every penny...

Dean Kantaras and his entire team were phenomenal, professional and always very prepared. Dean was so far superior to his opposing counsel that it was apparent that he was the superior legal mind. My outcome was exactly what he said it would be and he was exactly right about how things would play out.... Listen to him... he knows the law and how to navigate complex legal issues. Highly recommend.

Separation

My name is Valerie and I had a great experience with K. Dean Kantaras' Law firm. During my marital upheaval I worked with Dean Kantaras as well as few other attorneys from his firm. In addition to providing superb services they are very up front about their fees, costs and expectations about how my s...ituation would unfold. They also have a friendly and helpful staff - they treated me with compassion and empathy, more like a family member rather than just another customer. In today’s “high tech” and “fast paced” society, it was nice to find an office that takes the time to get to know me as a person first in addition to providing excellent services. K.Dean Kantaras' Law Firm is a step above and beyond most offices. I have found my experience with this office to be extremely satisfying and I would recommend them highly to anyone and who needs a competent, honest and understanding attorney.

Great Divorce Lawyer

He is very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with him handling my case. Everyone in the office was always really helpful and super nice. He never forced me to do anything I did not feel comfortable with in my case and really worked for me.

My Divorce Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Kantaras' practice by an attorney who I respect. I retained him to represent me in my divorce. I was ending a marriage of many years. I had no knowledge of procedure or the expected course. I was comfortable with Mr. Kantaras from our first consultation. I found him to be s...incere, ethical and very capable. My divorce was contested and took twenty two months. I feel that I developed a relationship with Mr. Kantaras, the para legals, the receptionist and various office personnel. At all times I felt my case was handled aggressively. Florida Law and reasonable expectations were explained. The para legals aided me in providing Mr. Kantaras with the necessary documents and finiancial records. Mr. Kantaras represented me through depositions, two mediations and trial preparations. On the morning of the trial, the opposing attorney proposed an offer to settle. I feel Mr. Kantaras was by far the superior of the attorneys. It is my feeling that Mr. Kantaras' strong points are his excellent legal skills and his high legal ethics. I feel that I was well represented and I am happy with the professional services rendered.
