Professional, hands-on experience

Venessa has represented my organization for over five years. She is both professional and patient as she has steered us through a number of difficult situations. We highly recommend her for any task she would accept.

Excellent legal service - Real estate & Eviction matters

I have been using the services of Venessa Bornost for the last 6 years. I own a business, as well as numerous duplex rental properties. Unfortunately, our rental properties are located in a section of Largo that is less than desirable. Drugs, pit-bulls, Section 8, and crime is common place. Wit...h that in mind, you can imagine that even though we maintain our rental properties very well, it is hard to attract decent families to rent in that neighborhood. Many tenants there get behind on their rent and need to be evicted. Venessa Bornost has handled many evictions for us during the first 5 years. Turn around, and removal of the dead beat tenants is very quick, or I should say as quick as can be considering the slowness of the court system. She processes all of the paperwork for the court and sheriffs department and communicates the progress with us every step of the way. Venessa Bornost has assisted us with customizing our rental property lease. She has also worked with us to improve our screening process and that has greatly helped. (We haven't had an eviction in almost a year and a half now, compared to the rate of one every 2 or three months in the beginning! Venessa Bornost has also provided me with services relating to my main business. She is very accessible and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal services.
