We went to Shelly a month ago, she definitly knows her stuff but shes very unprofessional. Thankfully there was no charge for our consultation . We sent her the documents she requested and have not heard from her since. She wont return our calls or emails. Doesnt matter how busy you are, at least let your clients know whats going on. If u cant handle it then why even meet with new clients? Anyways just be careful going to this one. My advice is look somewhere else, thats what we're doing.

Young assertive attorney! Extremely impressed with her knowledge and ability to handle an active courtroom trial! Most attorneys just do not know how to be so assertive and effective. She's in no way intimidated by opposition or taking a case to trial (with great success) to protect her clients! She is one of Tallahasse's best!

I hesitated posting a review but I hired her in August of 2018 after representing myself 8 months. I got more accomplished when I didn’t have an attorney that when I did. After hiring her it took her a month to file her Notice of Appearance as my attorney of record. The opposing party filed a demand for documents that she never told me about, I found nearly a month later - not long after they were “due” to be sent back and it wasn’t because she told me. It was because I looked online at my case and saw it. She constantly blamed her legal assistants and even told me she is ready to throw in the towel because she didn’t have enough “time” to do her job. I fired her in March 2019 after my case went nowhere. No documents were ever filed after I sent her everything the other attorney requested and she never reached out to me about anything even after I had called/emailed. She was constantly “sick” or out of the office because family members were sick or in the hospital.

Shelly has taken care of several members of my family on different legal matters and is always approachable and down to earth. She is excellent at her job and knows her way around the courtroom. Both her and her office staff are professional and courteous. Communication is excellent between us. I trust her whole heartedly with my legal matters.

Communication is terrible. Once paid she could not be reached for 3 months! I had no idea if I had court, mediation, or anything for that matter to attend to! She waited until the last day at lunch time to respond to a 30 day petition which had me on the edge of my seat especially since this case was dealing with my son’s custody. She routinely bad mouths and makes fun of her clients on her personal Facebook page, she can be seen out partying, drinking, and making jokes about her job on Facebook as well. Lastly, her 5-star reviews you’ll see on here are from her personal friends. If you do a little investigating, you’ll find they’re all connected on Facebook and regularly tag and post with each other. Her page is public (currently) so please check for yourself before you consider hiring her as she is terribly unprofessional! PS-I have screenshots of everything and a time stamped copy of the petition response should anyone wish to see!

Adam has been patient and consistent! This has been a year long process, and he has been with me every step of the way. Thank you, Mr. Cowhey!

Receptionist hung up on me after I used my right to keep the details of my case between the lawyers and myself. Completely unprofessional. "You're probably not going to hear from them unless you tell me what the case is about." Call made at 4:58 PM EST on Thursday. If I were them I would reconsider this individual's employment. Other offices respectfully addressed my right for anonymity by simply forwarding my call along and allowing the attorney to get back to me at their convenience.

Mr. Ward is the real deal. He walked through everything and kept me abreast with anything I needed to know and more. Me and my family really appreciate the time and effort that Mr. Ward put in. Semper Fi. God Bless

Zachary Ward is the best criminal defense attorney in Tallahassee Hands down! He worked tirelessly on my case and dedicated much time to resolving the entire issue! Zach was very considerate of my circumstances and made sure I came out on top regardless of any issues or problems. If you're looking for a dedicated lawyer who truly cares Zach Ward is the lawyer to hire!

Very efficient, quick and affordable. Mr.Ward always responded quickly to my emails, even if it was after hours. I definitely would recommend him for any criminal or early term cases.

Mr Factor and his team were extremely professional and well prepared for every issue I encountered with my divorce proceedings . The family atmosphere was much appreciated and definitely made the stress of the divorce easier to navigate . Thank you Max, Eric, and especially Ms Sandie.

I thought I had hired a good divorce attorney until mediation. A week before court I had to update my case with him in his office. He was anxious to end this case since I had paid 200.00 an hour , 20 dollar phone calls an 30 dollar e mails numerous months. He charged me for a e mail informing me my ex-attorney had died.After Mediation I was left with 600.00 of my State retirement check to pay my expenses, $300.00 child support for a 29 year old woman that get disability, substantial lump sum to be paid by QUDRO out of my IRA. After approx. 5 months he was dismissed from case failure to transfer money to exwife.Mr. Factor cost me a lot of money I should not had to pay,Beware future client u may be next.

I am an attorney in Tallahassee and I have dealt with Max Factor as an opposing attorney, as a co-counsel representing the same client on different matters, and as an expert witness. That has allowed me to see several facets of how he works for his clients. Without hesitation I can say that Max cares deeply about the results he gets for his clients, and he works hard to get the best possible outcome for his clients. He is well-versed and exceptionally competent in court and in dealing with sensitive legal issues. Max’s level of investment for his clients’ best interest is not as common as it should be in the legal field, and his clients are better for it.

Mr. Factor and his team proved themselves to be professional, knowledgeable and personable in representing me in my legal matter. Mr. Factor was very clear about the paperwork involved, was upfront with the costs and legwork I would have to do and explained each step in the process very thoroughly. Each member of the team was courteous and respectful of my needs and concerns and displayed the utmost professionalism. I appreciate the expertise this firm provided me.

Great pleasure to work with. Max, sandie, and eric answered all my questions in terms I could understand. Sandie is so sweet. Thanks for helping me with my divorce.

I would like to take the time to give much thanks to Mrs. Fourier and her great team for helping me get through a very complicated and burdensome divorce case. After picking up my files, and combing through all the paperwork and realizing the depth of all the case entailed, they worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my behalf. I couldn't have picked a better team during these difficult times. C.S, October 2020

Gena is a professional colleague of mine and I have always been impressed with the concern she shows for her clients. She fights for them when they need it and counsels them through one of life's most challenging experiences. First rate family law service!

This firm was referred to me by another reputable attorney. I transferred my retainer and scheduled an appointment. I was charged an outrageous amount for a phone call. My first appointment with her was me rehashing my horrible marriage and child custody. Gena already had my file from my previous attorney which stated everything. She made me feel like I had to pay her thousands of dollars to gain custody and win my divorce. After I left my appointment I felt worse about my case and even felt like a failure as a mother. Two hours later I called and fired Gena. Only to find out my husbands attorney had been told she wouldn’t take my case. Do not waste your money and I did win 100% custody of my children and still have money to provide for them.

Gena is a great attorney and person. We recommend her as a family lawyer. We appreciate and thank you for everything.

Overcharged for services in my opinion. Had a huge mix up with a mediation scheduling. Overall a horrible experience in what was already a difficult time.

He instills confidence and his demeanor has a calming effect. He’s very professional and is candid about his recommendations. I liked that he always kept me in the loop. He’s an overall good man to have on your side and an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Feather helped my mother with a restraining order case and did a superb job. He was super professional and effective in court.

I'm so appreciative of all your hard work and dedication to helping and guiding me through my situation! I made a bad choice, you helped me and made me see what I can do better as a person, and Mother! Thank you SO MUCH Mr. Mark!

He's a genuinely good guy and will do anything for someone who's trying to help themselves and it really good attorney

If I could thank anyone in my life it would be God for leading me to Mr. Mark feathers office. I’ve served our country in the US Army and haven’t of come close to being as stressed as the custody case Mr. Feather took head on for me. From day one he kept me calm and in a state of focus that anyone should have going into a case. He not only served me beyond my expectations but he worked hard and late at night and later found out he and his amazing staff over prepared. Mr. Feather matching my taste in values he represented me in a firm but classy fashion. He was transparent and informative. We prayed together, we conquered together and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. A forever lasting friendship and respect for Mr. Feather, I can always count on his support

Bauer Law Group is absolutely amazing! I am beyond happy with my decision of picking them to represent me. The attorneys are extremely knowledgeable and so so patient and same with their staff (I only asked like a hundred questions a month haha) but again they were so patient and timely with their responses and everything. Initially meeting Mr. Bauer I was kind of intimidated but he is the most humble and down to earth people I’ve met and he really listens and puts your needs first! Added bonus... his personality is a hoot! You won’t regret having them on your side!

Best Family Law Attorneys!!!! The Bauer Law Firm are simply the BEST specializing in Family Law. Mr. Bauer and Mrs. Youngblood are representing me in my dissolution of marriage and appeals. I HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone seeking help in family law. My calls have always been returned promptly and both attorneys have always been available to answer any questions regarding my cases. The staff is professional and helpful. I trust the Bauer Law firm and HIGHLY recommend them without reservation. Thank you for all that you do Mr. Bauer and Mrs. Youngblood.

Mr. Bauer did an excellent job with my case and fought hard for my family. We truly appreciated the hard work he put in and the final outcome was everything we had hoped for.

We retained Mr. Bauer approximately seven years ago. Our home had been flooded by a tropical storm and our mortgage company would not cooperate in our attempt to resolve the matter. Mr. Bauer worked diligently on our case all of those years with a final result being a settlement in our favor. I would highly recommend Mr. Bauer to anyone who might need legal advice. We sincerely appreciate his efforts.

We retained Mr. Bauer for a family legal matter. I will say that he is very professional. I was surprised to meet an attorney that was so relatable and treated us like he truly cared about our issue. That is not the case with other firms I’ve dealt with. He was incredibly excited and eager to learn about and help to resolve our issues. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in search of an excellent attorney.

She is very passionate about helping and makes her services affordable, Tracey and her staff always made me feel like my case was important and made sure I was informed and answered any question I had in a professional and timely manner! I am so glad I decided to go with Tracey without out her guidance I am not sure I would have made it thru this stressful journey! Please if your are seeking legal advice take the time to reach out to Tracey she and her staff are amazing! Thank you Tracey! Sherman B.

Tracey was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable and understanding. She knew exactly how we needed to proceed in order to get a fair judgement. And that is exactly what happened. After multiple failed attempts with different lawyers in the past, Tracey helped us through pretty difficult custody issues and we are very pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

Tracey has been such a blessing. After having a terrible experience with my first attorney, she has been able to turn things around and accomplish what was needed in relation to our custody issues. She's straight forward and to the point, which I greatly appreciate. And she carries that into the courtroom. She doesn't allow her or her client to be walked on, and isn't afraid to speak up or call someone out when needed. I always hear back from her or her legal secretary within 48 hours, if not sooner. And, in my opinion, is very fair with her billing. As for the negative reviews, I haven't experienced any of those things with her. I can't speak highly enough of her and her services. I would recommend her to anyone.

Tracey and her staff are incredible! They are very responsive if I had a question. Xandra is very calm and able to understand a lot of concerns during this difficult time going through your case. During Tracey first meeting, she was very knowledgeable about the laws and what I might expect. In the courtroom, Tracey is not going to let anyone walk all over her client. She will stand up for you and your rights.She has kept me updated on my case if any updates happened. Her prices are very fair. She is worth VERY penny. Her expertise is priceless. I have read some of her reviews, please do not let someone’s bad day ruin YOUR chances on retaining an excellent attorney and staff members. Thank you Tracey and staff for your help.

If you want a lawyer that communicates with you, you Need to keep Looking ! I just terminated my services with Tracey for the following reasons: 95% of the time I emailed her, I received an auto reply "out of the office"! She is either out of the office, out of the state, and often out of the country! She would claim to be in trial, even when I had a pre trial scheduled with her! She didn't let me know it was on zoom. And she emailed me just 2 hours before to say it was canceled. She and my ex husband's attorney signed off on it to go to 2nd mediation. Fishy!! And I had NO knowledge of it!! When you speak with her at Consultation She acts like she will fight for you & your kids, but after you hire her, that a quickly goes away! She drug my case out for over a year for her own financial gain! I have 4 children, 3 of whom I'm fighting for their protection, and she could care less! I've had phone calls scheduled with her in which she did not even talk to me, because, she was "out of the office" even when our call was scheduled!. I feel bad for her secretaries, because they have to constantly cover up for her! 70% of the time I was clueless about what was going on in my case, because of her lack of communication and her being extremely difficult to get in touch with.

I wanted the best and that’s what I got with Leslie Haswell. She is honest, direct, and knows her stuff! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family lawyer with presence who gets the job done. I feel that with Leslie as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law. It didn't take me long to realize her deep knowledge of Family Law with over 35+ years of experience. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Leslie handled this case with what I would consider perfection in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct Legal Representation. I guarantee that's what you will get if you choose Leslie Haswell to represent you. - A satisfied divorce client

After my divorce was filed, Ms. Haswell was recommended. My first consultation was very informative. Ms. Haswell let me know in my first visit what I may be facing in my divorce. She was very realistic and reassuring. Her legal assistant keeps in the loop regarding my case frequently. I feel very confident in her and her legal assistant's ability to offer sound legal advice and to be trustworthy. Thank you, Ms. Haswell and Ms. Cannon, you've been a great help and have a heart of service.

DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN THIS ATTORNEY. I hired Ms. Haswell to help me get time sharing with my daughter, who I have not been allowed to see for over 2 years now. I live in a different state than she does so I was forced to get an attorney where she lives. After hiring her, the petition was filed in the wrong county, twice, even though I clearly explained to her exactly which county my daughter lived in and specified where her mother worked and could be served during the initial consultation. It took two months to even get the paperwork filed in the correct county and served to my child's mother. Once she was served, she answered with a ton of false accusations and claims, to which Ms. Haswell did not respond or defend. She did not communicate her plan of action, her office failed to meet deadlines and give any sort of feedback or direction as to what was going on. Multiple calls and emails asking what the plan was moving forward and what needed to be done in order to get this moving were met with cookie cutter responses to stall and drain more money out of me. They allowed the other party to miss deadlines to submit documents by multiple weeks before even discussing filing motions to compel. I had to basically threaten to fire them before they would file one after my case sat for months with no movement due to the other party not submitting documents. The last straw was when I had a deadline to turn over some records to her to send to the other party, I sent it to her paralegal 2 weeks before it was due. 2 days after it was due (after receiving no confirmation, as usual) when I called to verify that it had been filed in time, the paralegal had not even opened the email. I retained her back in April, here we are in November, after she has used up $2,100 and done NOTHING except get the other party served. No mediation, no motion for temporary relief, no parenting plan...absolutely nothing, after telling me during the initial consultation that I should have time sharing with my daughter "in a few months." The cherry on top is that when I decided to fire her, of course my remaining balance in trust went from $1,800 to $920, even without all the bogus charges she tacked on after being fired, there is still money unaccounted for. Basically spent $1,900 for her to file my paperwork and give me the run around for $350 an hour. So glad to be rid of these crooks. Do not use them.

Very Ethical and knowledgeable and wise lady. One of those people which is hard to find these days! I had her helping me for a prenup agreement and she did send me one and she honored a very good price. But then she made changes to it to make it custom. Now, this other lawyer for my spouse tried to scare her and try to protect her and then asked 4x the money of the original agreement to modify it!!! Honest lawyer: Leslie Smith Haswell Shark lawyer: other one My opinion: Leslie sleeps better at night and enjoys her life much better than the shark one. God bless her.

I am truly grateful for Ms. Haswell services. She genuinely was invested in the best outcome for me. Professional and compassionate during the most difficult life experiences. Gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Highly recommend.

Cynthia is an Excellent Divorce Attorney. She is quick to respond to email questions, I was kept informed of my case all along the way, and she explained the procedure. She is firm, straight forward with the case and easy to personally speak to. I felt comfortable and trusted her with my financial future. Good outcome. Cynthia comes with my highest recommendation!

Ms. Cynthia Swanson from the Swanson Law Center recently represented our organization in a case that was difficult due to the nature of the case. Cynthia took time to meet with us and learn all of the elements of what transpired that led up to the case. Our case was complicated, but she was very positive and encouraging at a time when there was very little hope. Cynthia and her team were persistent on making sure that everything was done according to what was legally required in this case. She is a prime example of a true community champion. We are truly thankful for all of the hard work and dedication which was done on our behalf that led to a successful outcome.

Ms. Swanson represented me in a case that involved custody and co-parenting plans for my two young boys. As noted in the reviews below, Cynthia and Darcy were compassionate, timely, supportive, and very knowledgeable. What was most important to me was the integrity of our legal team and the way we approached the case; always taking the "high road" in any given opportunity. I can't overstate how wonderful the legal team was and I am deeply grateful for all of their hard work and dedication to help my family find the best situation possible.

Very satisfied with all aspects of my experience with this firm! I hired them for an appeal on a case. My case was not high profile and not big money. The firm was exceedingly polite, patient, and attentive to me and very concise in court documents. Their representation of me in the courtroom was commanding and highly effective. No waste of time here! Preparation was impeccable and the court seemed to appreciate that. Would highly recommend Swanson Law Center.

I worked with Ms. Swanson and Darcy on a guardianship case for my son. They were extremely compassionate while working on a very difficult situation. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns and explain things in a clear and concise matter. Ms. Swanson even sent me some research that she pulled up on another case because she remembered I had similar issues. I think what I like most about this law firm is there honesty and integrity. They were very honest about my chances and explained the downside of certain decisions. I am certain that had I elected to pursue this matter, she would have fought hard for my side and I can think of no one else I would want in my corner had I made that decision. I felt comfortable with my decisions and I know that was because I went into them with the knowledge I needed provided by this law firm. They kept this out of court, resolving this matter efficiently and cost effectively. I would definitely hire them again.
