Terrible service, terrible quality, terrible value…read more I paid a hefty retainer 9 months ago no action was taken on my case. Absolutely nothing done. I've called every month since and still had nothing done on my case just excuses of why nothing has been done. I was told I would not get the retainer back . It is so bizarre that they can take a retainer and never provide a service and still keep your money. Fraudulent attorney.

Poor Communication I retained Daphne Clements-Stevens to…read morerepresent me in my divorce case and paid a $4,600 retainer with the expectation of diligent representation and clear communication. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Throughout my representation, I repeatedly requested updates regarding my case but often received vague responses, delayed replies, or no response at all. Many of my emails went unanswered, leaving me frustrated and uncertain about the status of my case during an already difficult time. I was also concerned by the lack of billing transparency. Despite being told that my retainer had been depleted by accrued fees, I repeatedly requested itemized billing statements and an accounting of my funds. Although I was advised that billing was being prepared, I never received documentation explaining or supporting the charges. Due to the lack of communication, transparency, and progress in my case, I ultimately retained new counsel, resulting in additional legal expenses. To date, I have not received a complete accounting of my retainer funds. This review reflects my personal experience as a former client.

Words could never express my sincerest gratitude towards Leslie Loftus and her team…read more The professionalism an expert handling allowed me ( the dad ) to obtain sole custody of my only child. Leslie has the skill and experience to navigate the treacherous waters of family law. I had what I thought was an insurmountable case. A mountain to climb, to protect my rights as a father and that of an innocent child. Leslie made this all happen! I know for a fact no one else could've handled this extremely complex custody fight. I will be eternally grateful to Leslie and her team. Thank you so very much Leslie.

Bizarre attorney…read more 5/11/21 email message: "Payment is due before your consultation you may call in a credit card or pay by cash or check." 5/12/21 email message: "I just learned that you propose paying for the consultation by a check which is or will be mailed. I regret I cannot accommodate that,". Never mind the obvious contradiction, this individual sounds and acts bizarre. She then sent a formal "non-representation" document without simply asking for another of the "approved" forms of payment. I would warn you to avoid this seeming ailment or illness presented in just a 24 hour time period. Wow.

Her professional, fair, and measured approach to our divorce…read moremediation turned what would have been a dreaded and lengthy process, into just a few efficient and civilized meetings. Chris's nature is genuine and compassionate yet very professional; she was consistently prepared to tackle and meet the goal(s) set for each meeting. Chris respectfully dealt with both of us, providing insight, empathy, and patience, while keeping the meetings focused on progress and amicable resolution. Chris was able to expertly navigate 'sticking points' that I thought we would never get past. She took the time to listen and understand what was important to each party and offered creative and alternate solutions. We never left a meeting feeling like we hit a dead end. There is no doubt that Chris saved us a tremendous amount of time, money, energy, and aggravation. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone needing any type of mediation. Chris was always quick to respond via phone or email and her ability to mediate virtually, as needed, with breakout rooms, was welcome to accommodate our busy work and family schedules.

To start this review - to come and finish very soon. This woman Cheryl is a horrible person! I must…read moresay the reviews I looked at were at least 2 years old so I gotta bring you up to date on this wicked terrible human being. First, she's not even close to being upfront - pricing confirmed at $625.50 October 2024 pressured to pay upfront in order to have this "questionnaire" PDF form emailed, and because pricing was going to the first of the year 2025, okay. BTW, I was UPFRONT about waiting for OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION from an agency they needed proof of divorce - without that my very simple uncontested divorce was NOT NEEDED, Cheryl agreed and said Oh no problem. I felt reasonably safe since her only acceptable payment was PayPal, which was great for me should anything go sour PayPal would refund my money (more about this later). Only after the very first introduction phonecall every subsequent communications were through email, another great thing since everything had been documented in writing . Okay, so Cheryl sent out a general email around January 2025 about delays from the 2 massive hurricanes we had back to back, Christmas and New Year's, and other stuff going on with her in her personal life. I immediately replied that she need not worry about me I was still waiting on official notification on whether or not I even needed to go through with a divorce, and I was in no immediate hurry and she need not worry about me (I thought I was actually doing her a favor by letting her know there was no pressure on my end). January, February, March through May I've still not heard a word from the agency and I believed I never would, which actually proved correct since I was approved without getting a divorce. I began the process to reach Cheryl to let her know I was not going to need a divorce and ask her to refund my money - I left countless voicemail messages for her (no answer, no one covering for her in her office to take messages, sent emails no replies nothing. It was only after about 2 weeks of unanswered messages I left she FINALLY replied to my email, but it was NOT a kind email which floored me I was not ready for that one! She's screaming at me why would I not think she would be sick or something in Tampa? Then she proceeded to go through her whole life story about all her illnesses and stuff...I was completely taken aback! I told her I was not a mind-reader and that it was unacceptable to be hollering at me when all I did was leave nothing but kind and polite messages asking her to please contact me I needed to speak with her - that's it. It was not my fault she's running a lean business without any type of help to field her calls and daily activities! And not only did I not need her services, but that I no longer wanted anything to do with her! Well something went off with her when I simply said that because she became VERY nasty and horrible with me none of which I deserved! I couldn't believe it, especially when she was placing all the blame on me! What?! It was just nuts. She didn't stop there, oh no no no no she continued her nasty and vindictive wrath by refusing to refund my money - G-d only knows what kind of lies she told PayPal to justify why she's hijacking my money. I need to clarify something - IF Cheryl had done ANYTHING even slightly more than only emailing about 6-8 pages of a PDF form she calls a "questionnaire," as G-d my only witness I would never, ever renege on a deal! To ME a deal is a deal regardless of this non-existent contract which I signed nothing! She's wrong to not refund my money - and I certainly cannot afford this kind of a loss, nor should I have to! Not that this should matter but my only source of income is Social Security barely above the poverty line! It's disgusting what Cheryl has done as a result of her madness in anger completely and totally unjustified! It's sad actually. I REFUSE to let her get away with this despicable act and hijack my money so now I have to spend about half that expenditure to sue her, and that SUCKS!!! Well I went far far beyond what I wanted to tonight, though I'm glad I did because it's work I need to do anyway to prep an answer . It's not really done I think there's a few things missing, and I didn't go through it to read how it sounds and fix typos but I'm gonna post it for now. My review is my honest, HONEST story. I don't lie! The truth used to be the hardest thing in the world for me to do as a little kid, like most I was afraid of the consequences. I can't tell you when exactly but I eventually learned I was a terrible liar - I would get super & embarrassed with a red face a very uncomfortable feeling. That's when I decided to just tell the truth and deal with it - far, far easier to do, and still a fairly young guy. I'm 68 and have been truthful in everything and with everyone for a very long time - and I feel great inside because of it! My dad, who's still alive still doesn't believe me - it sucks. Best, Joel

Lisa is well respected by everyone in the courtroom and what's even better she also gives everyone the upmost respect professionally and otherwise. She is a natural- extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in family law. She cuts through the social BS and sets the pace from the start. She didn't let up until she gave her closing argument laying out the facts followed by the laws and statutes to support our case. She explained things methodically and was very prepared- had everything in her mind. Not like most attorneys that are fumbling opening a folder for the first time they enter the court room. Lisa has hugged me, heard me complain, watched my pain and she cared. The first time I ever called, Chris who answered, talked to me so heartfelt I knew I had come to the right place. I cannot say enough in this short post but, I don't think you can find a better representative than Lisa. She goes full circle with everything. I am so grateful for my experience with Lisa and her team. She may not always tell you what you want to hear because she is 100% honest, fair, and doesn't back down but that's what I want and always will. To have someone like Lisa in my corner I always, always felt like I was in great hands. Thank you for a great job. Shaunda
