When i hired him I laid out $8000.00 for initial retainer. Then I never really spoke to him again. The only people you will ever see or talk to are his paralegals. After a couple of months waiting to get to a trial his office calls and says we are out of money and need another $8000.00 retainer! Unless you have money to burn, stay away from this guy. His reputation is based on old merits and he is not the pit bull attorney he supposedly once was. This is all presuming you are paying for your own attorney btw. If you are the party looking to take your soon to be ex to the cleaners and are planning on them paying for everything, including your attorney fees, you can disregard. But why would you want to waste all of that money giving it to this guy when you two could save it for yourselves and your children?

Best decision I ever made for one of the worst situations many of us are forced to go through. I…read moreknew my divorce was going to be a huge uphill battle and I wanted to make sure everything I did was exactly how it should be done and in my children's and my best interest. Over 30 years of marriage and with both college and minor children and I stay at home spouse for a few years, there is so much riding on my divorce outcome for the rest of my life. I interviewed 8 different lawyers. Mr. Cario is the ONLY one who mentioned how alimony had recently changed and I would be looking at paying the tax on alimony payments. That is a huge factor and no one else mentioned it! He asked what I wanted as the outcome: % of custody, house, retirement plan, and other things. He presented me with a brief review of a balanced outcome that might be in my best interest, with options based on what we had just discussed. Of course, he explained if he represented me, this would all be adjusted as information was provided with possible outcomes. He also clarified he takes care of the digging into the details because that is what he is paid for. The entire team at his firm is on top of everything. He also called me from his cell phone when I had a very urgent issue, while he was away dealing with just as serious of an issue for his family. When I apologized for taking him away from his issue, he told me not to worry. I already knew I had made the right decision, that just reinforced it. My outcome was more than I ever hoped for when talking to friends and family who have gone through a divorce before. My only advice for someone looking for a lawyer besides choosing Mr. Cario, do what they ask and provide what they need from you in the time period they recommend. Never have written a review before for anything! I had to for this experience and how well that took care of me. Lawyers can be expensive, yes. Great lawyers are more expensive. It's just the simple truth. My outcome 1000% justified his cost.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Dwyer and his legal assistant, Ariana Santana. Their ability to…read morenavigate the complex facts, emotional weight, and intricate timeline of my case was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they approached every detail with the highest levels of professionalism, empathy, patience, and fairness. Mr. Dwyer and his team are a cornerstone of the Dade City and Pasco County legal community. From the very first interaction with Madonna Law Firm, it was clear that my case was in the hands of people who truly care -- not just as legal professionals, but as advocates committed to their clients' lives and long-term wellbeing. One of the most powerful moments I experienced was being in the courtroom with Mr. Dwyer. The respect he commands from the entire court system is unmistakable and deeply rooted in his personal values. His integrity, humility, and calm strength are evident in the way he interacts with everyone from court staff to opposing counsel to clients. He is not only someone you want on your side, but someone you're genuinely grateful to know. If Mr. Dwyer is on your side, you are absolutely on the right side. He will only fight for what is fair and just, and he does so with thorough preparation, sound judgment, and unwavering class. The Madonna Law Firm earns my highest possible praise. Their dedication, compassion, and legal expertise are rare and invaluable. I am forever grateful and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking trustworthy, principled legal representation.

A special bonus is he could speak Greek with my wife as needed. Brilliant. A friendly person who gets right to the point.

Our previous two year old Wills/DPOA were pretty useless for what we needed which was a full package including a trust for my ailing wife. Brilliant.

i've unfortunately had to deal with attorney m.k. for almost 1,000 days. during this time, he…read morecharged my family extremely high fees for very simple tasks--like reading or replying to an email or phone call. i believe this takes advantage of grieving families who are just trying to navigate the difficult probate process. even worse, he acted unprofessionally by sending my late husband's estate inventory to people who had no legal or personal connection to the estate. that private information should never have been shared with outsiders. he has taken far too long to settle the estate, dragging the process out much longer than necessary. this delay has not only cost my family more money but has also caused us deep emotional stress during an already painful time. i also want to raise a serious concern about a conflict of interest. when this attorney writes someone's will or trust, he names himself as the resident agent and attorney for the personal representative and successor trustee. this ensures he and his office continue to get paid after the person dies. in my case, his fees and costs kept increasing, while my family's assets kept decreasing.

I kept asking for him and his engineer friend to provided a pipe assessment to assess how the pipes were adding flooding to our land at a substantial cost. Johnston and his friend kept pushing me away from the final assessment so i went to acap. Acap provided no assistance and paraphrasing stated that lawyer's are allowed to pursue cases against the ligitgant's wishes.
