I have thought a lot about posting this review, but my experience with this law firm, specifically…read moreElizabeth Peskin, was so extremely disappointing due to lack of preparation, poor communication, and significant clerical errors that I had to share my personal recent experience. A motion filed on my behalf contained basic mistakes that should never happen in a professional legal filing but the courtroom representation following it was the most disappointing part of the experience with Ms. Peskin. This law firm (Elizabeth Peskin) was retained for a circuit court motion filing and representation. I was not emailed, nor texted the motion to be reviewed before filing it with the clerks office on my behalf. I was not even informed of the filing by her or her staff. I happened to look at the clerk of courts website myself days after it had been filed to see the motion listed. The motion was incorrectly filed listing a total different name than mine as well as the fact that one of the case numbers included in the motion had already been fully resolved and should not have been part of the filing at all. This error itself appeared to create confusion before the court by introducing information that was not relevant to the matter being heard and negatively impacted how the motion was viewed. This error alone solidified a denial by the court. Communication from Ms. Peskin and her staff to me was very poor leading up to the hearing. I was instructed to attend court, which I did, yet Ms. Peskin did not consult with me before the hearing, did not speak with me during the hearing, and after the judge denied the motion, did not approach me to explain what happened. The only time any conversation was had that day was because I approached her myself outside of the courtroom as she was exiting the courthouse to ask what had just transpired. Despite being present in the courtroom as instructed, I was never called forward or included in any meaningful way regarding my own case. Additionally, Ms. Peskin appeared unprepared regarding the important facts surrounding both my case and the motion that was filed on my behalf. There was no clear demonstration during the hearing that the key details, background, or supporting information necessary to properly advocate for the motion had been adequately reviewed or presented. Based on this experience, it felt like my matter was treated as just another routine filing rather than something that deserved proper preparation and advocacy. Clients depend on their attorneys for preparation, accuracy, communication, and representation in court. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect those expectations.

I went through a ridiculously loooonnnngggg custody battle for my kids due to me agreeing to…read moredivorce without lawyers and trusting that we were both going to honor our agreements concerning the kids being with me and open visitation. Unfortunately, as the root of all evil, being money hungry, manipulation and power trips changed EVERYTHING. From there, I went the legal route and on May 8, 2008, I started the hard battle I would ever fight. But Ms Seaton took my case in 2013 and through this law firm, they were there on my best days, my worst days, listened to me cry and vent, read my long rambling emails and did everything they could to support me from a distance. They always made time for me and FINALLY, on April 17,2018, it was all over! She got the fairest and best possible outcome for me and my children. I would, hands down, recommend them to any and everyone!

Can't say enough about Rachel Seaton and her team. Divorce is a hard thing but Rachel helped keep…read morethings in focus and when things were done I was extremely satisfied with the results. If you're looking for a divorce attorney you will not find better. The most important thing I can say is help Rachel's team help you. Make sure you have your documentation from day 1 if you can. Make sure your honest and upfront about things and remember documentation is king. When it comes down to he said or she said the fact don't lie. Respond as quickly as possible to document requests and if you can print things out and deliver to save some retainer money. At the end when you can't help but dance out of the courtroom and courthouse you know you made the right decision about the law firm you hired to ensure you get a reasonable and fair outcome.

Do not hire Wes Hatcher, unless you want to give up your money and never hear from him again. I…read morepaid him $1000 for a simple uncontesed divorce and the only time they did anything is when I called and bugged them about things they should have already had done! It took 5 weeks for them to draw up the papers where they just had to fill in the blanks! I am currently waiting on a court date only because I called and asked for a court date! I have called several times to talk to my attorney and have never received a return call from him. You would think for a thousand bucks you would have access to your attorney. Biggest mistake I've made-recommended by a friend who knows Wes. If anyone ever reccomends this guy-run the other way.

Al Sauline is a horrible lawyer. He was disciplined by the Florida State Bar last year.(…read morehttps://www.floridabar.org/public/acap/disc-docs/?icn=202100358&member=11662 ) I hired him regarding misdemeanor case where the evidence clearly contradicts the allegations. The states witness says on recording he did not see the alleged actions. I go into meet Al to discuss the case and he no legal insight other than "the case is weak". He has a deal from the state that I would of got without a lawyer. He says "ok you don't want the first deal they're giving! We will goto trial great news for me its more money!!!" .... I went and immediately got a new lawyer and we will get better results. Al is not a fighter he doesn't really care. This is not the attitude your lawyer should have. You should not have to just settle on the first deal, especially when the state has no chance at proving the case. He was not willing to review the case at all with me. No discussion of the evidence, nothing at all. I have never come across a lawyer not willing to discuss the evidence with his client. Al doesn't want to file motions or negotiate with the DA. For him its take the deal or pay me more for trial. Also all these generic positive reviews are bought and paid for, Sauline pays for his reviews. Sauline keeps suppressing my review. Sauline is a horrible attorney and the Florida Bar agrees. All of these 5 star reviews are fake. He is trying to bury my review so you don't read it

Mr. Sauline is AWKWARD to speak with and socially off putting, kind of like a creepy uncle, in my…read morehumble opinion. His office assistant is a great lady to speak with and very pleasant to deal with. He claims when your hire " AL SAULINE YOU GET AL SAULINE" but on atleast two occasions without letting me know other lawyers stood in for him at my appearances. This makes you look silly when your standing there looking for Mr.Sauline but another lawyer steps up. My case was super simple to get handled and he was the cheapest quote I got so I did use his services but I would have spent a little more money and went with someone else if I had know these issue before I went to his office. Hope this helps someone. Glad to ad and specific case details to legitimize the reivew.

After receiving my 2nd denial on my Disability Claim, I contacted Atty. Trucks' office. His…read moreExecutive Assistant, Shirley, stated, "I'm going to be your best friend!", and she wasn't exaggerating. THEY handled EVERYTHING!!! They compiled my medical records from ALL of my Drs., explained each step of my continued claim, policies, procedures, and steps to achieve a favorable judgment. After I no longer qualified for Obamacare medical coverage, (due to my lack of work) they wrote a letter requesting my judge hearing be expedited since I was losing medical insurance. I received a court date in front of a Judge in 3 months vs 16 months! I felt the Judge was a little harsh, but Karl took control and addressed issues I never would have thought of...HE KNOWS THE LAW!!! He shot holes through all of the career expert's responses, and proved that my medical conditions prevented me from continued full-time employment...referencing hundreds of documents in my file! I received approval of my disability claim in 2 Days!!! I highly recommend the services of Karl Trucks. I have always been a hard worker, and perfectionist, and it is really difficult for me to leave something as important as my livelihood in the hands of another. I know what it feels like to lose your ability to work and provide for yourself, and it is extremely frightening. If you are in this situation, you can take a deep breath and RELAX, if you hire Karl Trucks. Karl and Shirley are Experts in this field, and I will use them again should anything challenge my disability claim in the future. Call Them...You Will Be In Good Hands! Thanks Karl and Shirley - You will Never know how much your are appreciated!!! Robin R. Black
