Not only did he arrive late he came in with a folder drooping paper work on the ground ,so disorganized and embarrassing. He went in the court room and did not fight at all for my case didn't present and of the evidence that I took days putting together for him. And his staff is rude and doesn't have any respect for his clients. They talk to you any kind of way as if your not paying them for a service. And to make matters worse you have to deal with his staff the hole time cause the lawyer is never available. You can't get him one the phone unless it's time to pay your invoice. This firm is a joke and a scam to the public. I strongly recommend you do not waste your time unless you just want to throw your money away. If your looking for someone to help you and fight for your rights . This place isn't it.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I contacted this law firm to represent my case . Because I want it done quickly and smoothly…read more And wanted to be represented by Ms wells . Not the case I was represented by Matthew wells which is the worst experience I have had with a lawyer. It took my case 6 months to get resolved when it could have been done in a month maybe 2 at max. The only time I was able to speak to him was the very first phone call when he told me price and wanted money. And 2 week later when he wanted the other half of money. I left numerous phone calls to his office and left messages with his secretary and not 1 and I mean not 1 phone call was returned . Out of the 6 times I had to show up for court he showed only twice. My case was drop for no appearance by the other person nothing to do with the lawyer. So I just basically paid Matthew wells to ignore my calls, not show up to court date and not even send the video evidence to the prosecutor. So they would see what really happened. So please don't waste your time or money with this law firm they will rip you off.

Deborah Wells is an OUTSTANDING person and Attorney.

I would recommend her to ANYONE who is looking for an EXCEPTIONAL lawyer to defend them. She has always been a perfectionist with an eye for detail and the skill and experience you just cannot beat when looking for the best defense/divorce/family law Lawyer that money can buy. She has always been someone who fights for justice, and I would hire her to defend anyone in my own family if I wanted the BEST and an EXCEPTIONAL Attorney! That is really the highest praise considering I'm the son of a fellow Florida Bar Member. Deborah has decades of experience, and is truly the BEST at what she does. The hiring of an Attorney is not something you should do without making sure you are hiring someone with exceptional skills, and it's quite easy to verify that Deborah L. Wells is truly one of the ABSOLUTE BEST Defense, Divorce, and Family Law Attorneys in all of Central Florida! It only takes a few short minutes of research to see what a MAGNIFICENT Lawyer she is!

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.

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!

I am sharing my Google Review here also because I am grateful for the help I received from the law…read morefirm of Mary Beth Corn. After receiving divorce papers, I searched online for an attorney and read countless reviews. Attorney Mary Beth Corn's reviews stood out far above all the others so I decided to give her office a call. The consultation call came without delay. I was very nervous. Of course, legal matters can be stressful and overwhelming as I felt like an underdog with very little chance of getting a fair outcome. During the consultation, she answered all my questions calmly and knowledgably, easing my apprehension and adding a level of trust that I hadn't expected. From that moment, I knew I needed her on my side. Her fees were reasonable and she outlined a plan of action which avoided any additional fees. Her level of Knowledge and expertise was apparent from the beginning. If anyone can be tough and aggressive and also honest, caring and reassuring, Mary Beth Corn is that person. She is the total package! With her help, I was able to reach a settlement that exceeded the expectation I had during our initial consultation. This has truly changed my life! I am forever grateful for finding her and the help that she gave me. I also want to give thanks for her assistant, Teresa, who always responded in a timely manner to both my emails and phone calls. Teresa was continually reassuring me, "You Got This" and "You Can Do It". She was absolutely right! I got through this and I did it with the help of an awesome legal team. I highly recommend the law firm of Mary Beth Corn to anyone seeking family law services.

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.

Her office is understaffed and her Legal Assistants turned over 3 times in less than a year. NEVER PRODUCED AN INVOICE, BUT ALWAYS ASKING FOR MORE MONEY. She was late to every meeting, in person or ZOOM. Her office filed incorrect Financial Affd. with the court, in short, I FIRED HER. 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.

Most recently I worked with Karl and Chase Pansler and they have taken all of the worry away from me and got me the best outcome in my case that was possible.

What stood out to me was she personally picked up the phone on the 2nd ring when I initially called her. We discussed my situation, and what I was looking for and she immediately placed a 3 way call to Michigan to get the correct paperwork faxed to her. (Impressive!) We were on the phone over 30 minutes (at least) and her calm and soothing voice was very re-assuring for me - especially when I didn't know what I was getting into regarding Medicaid issues/denials. We spoke a few times back and forth and she truly is genuine in what client she takes on, and I can tell she honestly loves what she does. She is metalicious in her details of her paperwork as well as her notes she takes to follow up. I met her in person today and was impressed with her, as well as her office assistant. She has a small 2 room office in a quaint building on Davis Islands. It appears she has quite a few business contacts, but is also proud that who she IS in contact with is reputable, grounded, and especially ethical. I left hugging this sweet lady - her prices are competitive but you really get the bang for your buck. Her sound judgment, experience and relationship skills make this Attorney one you want in your corner!
