I hired Barnett and Gill to assist me through my collaborative divorce (married ten years) in…read moreFebruary 2026. I was given worksheets to fill in with financials and I took the parenting class as instructed. What I was never given were time frames. Their office had to file extensions "on by behalf" that I would not have needed if they had been more transparent. I only knew of the deadlines from my husband's opposing counsel. By the end of April I was still being asked for new information about my financials and an order of contempt was to filed and fine incurred because paperwork was not being processed in time. My husband had to stop the order of contempt. Luckily for me our divorce was amicable between the parties but my time with Barnett and Gill was not. I had to sever my relationship with the firm and come to an agreement with my husband alone to move on. Very disappointed in the level of service. I never spoke to a lawyer (Jana) until I requested an end to our contract. They made a hard time worse for me and will keep my retainer even though their office did nothing in the end to help me. Bad businesspeople with no regard for time management.

This is an update from an original good review posted years ago long before Gill merged with…read moreBarnett. I returned to Thomas for a Child Support modification on the SAME divorce case he worked on 9 years ago and was charged double the amount upfront! Just for a modification! Guess this is due to the fancy new renovations in the office. Secondly my Ex's lawyer who is a super junior lawyer btw was literally "WALKING THE DOG" on me while Thomas did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on my case except go on vacation for a month and leave it with Jana (Barnett) who had no clue what was going on! He didn't even tell me he left the case with her. It wasn't until I called to find out what was going on that I found out he dropped the ball! So $5,000 later and all that was done was about 3 electronic motions filed. MY paperwork WAS RIDDLED with ERRORS, they kept filing me to the court with the wrong name, wrong address and not only were there multiple mistakes in my file that were made on the part of their firm. I sent Jana Barnett an email and said: I can see that mistakes are the norm as you have you have also managed to send me all banking information statements including accounts and routing numbers for the following clients: ANTHONY NEWPORT OR APRIL NEWPORT 8** C*******S L**P B*****N FL 3*** After firing Gill, I spoke directly with my ex' s Lawer pro Se. She confirmed little to NOTHING regarding communication between her and my lawyer. I then asked for a statement of itemized billing where I discovered that Gill/Barnett were actually double billing me for the errors THEY CREATED and had to go back and fix! When I called them about it (via email). they replied" it doesn't matter the retainer is paid and there's no refunds anyway".... LISTEN TO ME NOW OR BELIEVE ME LATER... Thomas has the SOFTEST BACKBONE IN THE GAME!!! He will start right out the gate telling you what he cannot do! He will pass you off to his colleague and bill at the highest rate. They do sloppy work and do not give a damn! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DO NADA!!!!! They don't listen for understanding & you will be constantly repeating and explaining yourself over and over and over. Don't walk, RUN from this FIRM!!! I can prove EVERTHING I am saying! I'm seriously considering filing a complaint with the Bar!

Worst law firm ever!!! I sent numerous items to Yanni the paralegal that were lost multiple times…read moreas well as Mindi Lasley NEVER did half the items we discussed and that I was charged for. I interviewed 5 law practices prior to ending the severed relationship with this law firm and EVERY practice I spoke with said "they did not understand why an emergency motion on my behalf was never done nor why I was being charged so much for such little work".... Be careful if you are in a custody battle/divorce this practice will be beneficial to opposing parties if they are acting as your counsel.... Do you due diligence, unlike me the first time around, and interview multiple firms... Hopefully this law office does not screw around anyone else's wishes of being divorced and with they babies!!!!!!!!!!!!

AVOID Shazia Sparkman: A Client's Warning I hired Shazia…read moreSparkman for my divorce and deeply regret it. Despite paying $60,000+, I essentially represented myself - personally drafting and negotiating all settlement documents while she merely forwarded emails. My $15,000 retainer vanished for minimal work, and she refused to refund unused portions of my $45,000 trial preparation fee when we settled without trial, despite our written agreement. Sparkman consistently arrived late or missed appointments, took calls in restaurants or while driving, and was unreachable during critical decisions. When I needed time to consider settlement options, she snapped "Hurry up and make a damn decision!" This isn't isolated behavior. She has multiple Florida Bar disciplinary actions: Case SC17-479/2015-10,393 (13F) - Public reprimand Case SC15-639/2012-11,230 (6C) and related cases - Public reprimand Save yourself the money and stress.

My new Attorney has requested over and over for her office to release all of my information to no avail. Even the opposing attorney was disgusted with her lack of response and I am having to produce again. If I had the multitude of errors coming out of my office that she had come out of hers, I would be out of business. Only now am I seeing all the bad reviews about this law firm...hind site is 20/20...stay clear of this firm.

After filling out her intake form, on the day of appointment, no call.

Why would anyone trust a firm that operates this way to do their estate planning?
