Not sure. Good about one matter, bad about another…read more I called about one matter, talked to Barbara Brown, who seemed confident that the attorneys there could help. $1500 retainer seemed reasonable, but I ended up not hiring them due to resolving the issue myself through the county where I have property. Then I ran into another issue, talked to their paralegal, who seemed confident that he and the attorneys could help. So I called the front and gave them the retainer. Then crickets. This was a matter that could've been solved with a letter, maybe two, from an attorney. I wrote a termination letter and received my money back promptly. Then a few days ago, I get a call asking about the "other matter" that I needed to hire them for. I called back the next day and told them that they don't care to call back for a few months, and I had paid the retainer and not heard back, so I feel like no one there cares.

I asked them to review LLC / joint venture (JV) paperwork I had already used many times in other…read morestates and make it so I could have it secured against a property in Florida via Memo of Agreement, where I was using both sets of paperwork for the first time. It looked like they just took the names and numbers from my JV paperwork and tried to insert that information into their 'boilerplate' JV and Memo of Agreements. Unfortunately, their JV paperwork and Memo of Agreement was structured totally different than what I gave them, which changed the agreement between the venturors so much that it missed the point of what it was trying to accomplish from the beginning. Not only that, they didn't even 'copy and paste' the names correctly. They had a name of the person in the JV paperwork that I didn't even know that was going to be a 50% venturor!! Also, the amount of money being invested was different in JV paperwork and the Memo of Agreement. The documents were so far 'off' from what the intention was that I couldn't even use them and I felt they couldn't be edited to be corrected. They charged me $1250 for their work that in my estimation should have taken an attorney (or assistant) no more than 2-3 hours total. I asked for some kind of discount b/c I didn't even use what they sent me (and I thought the amount was high to begin with). $50 off was offered. On the positive side, their attempt to complete the work was done quickly, which is why I gave them a 2 star rating vs a 1 star rating. So at least I had time to scramble to find another way to get what I was trying to accomplish done.

I was…read moreimpressed by her professionalism so decided to reach out to Cristen in hopes of building a relationship for future real estate needs. I enjoyed our meeting today and felt that she was more than qualified to handle anything I would send her way. Obviously, I hope I never have to recommend her to one of my clients, but I'm glad to know she's available. She also made it clear she's available to me for any legal questions I might have related to the buying and selling of property.

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.

She pretended she had never met me during mediation.. her name was Rita. I highly doubt she's still there. The rest of them do not care about you. They do not return phone calls. They do not listen to one thing you say run for the hills. Do not use this group if you respect yourself. I have been done with them since I fired them back in April and I still have post nightmares from them. Good luck on your journey. Not only do they lie to your face, but they lie on the phone. I was sitting in the parking lot speaking to the receptionist and she told me my paralegal was there but busy. I know my paralegal's car. It was not there. Also I know my paralegal quit because no one in their right mind stays at that firm more than a month. I seriously hope they drowned and pay for the pain and financial drownings that they cost me.

Five Stars for Joshua Monteiro, Esq. -- Professional, Prompt, and Truly Supportive…read more Although I ultimately needed a civil attorney, I reached out to Sammis Law Group and was fortunate to connect with Joshua Monteiro, Esq. Even though my matter fell outside their scope, Joshua responded within minutes and kindly referred me to the right type of counsel, complete with contact information. That kind of swift, courteous, and helpful response is rare--and deeply appreciated. I didn't retain the firm, but the professionalism and warmth Joshua showed in just that brief exchange left a lasting impression. As a fellow Army veteran, I especially respect his background and would absolutely trust him with my business if I ever needed a criminal defense attorney. Highly recommend Sammis Law Group based on this experience alone.

I hired Sharnice in January of 2022 to represent me during my divorce because she seemed knowledgeable, aggressive, and responsive during the consultation. During our time together, Sharnice missed a court hearing, and I was compelled to pay half of the mortgage that I never paid during the course of my marriage. After receiving various updates or inquiries from me regarding my case within the client portal, she communicated that other cases took precedence. Sharnice essentially made me feel that my case was not a priority to her. Additionally, she failed to thoroughly review my case to discover that a counter-petition for alimony was never filed by my previous attorney. After discovering stock accounts that my ex-husband actively trades with and his salary being significantly greater than mine, no argument was made for durational alimony. Sharnice was ill-prepared to handle my case and didn't thoroughly comb through the case until the final weeks of March prior to my April 4 hearing before the judge. Sharnice also failed to file my child support withholding order after we signed our MSA. I had to request for it to be done in May. Advice for Google or Yelp review readers, be sure to research the Florida Bar and all types of platforms before hiring ANY attorney. Not sure why it says I'm from CA, I'm right in Tampa Bay.

I called the firm in a panic, asking desperately for help because I knew if anything could delay the process of terminating life support, it'd have to be done through an attorney. I was connected with attorney Elizabeth and I couldn't have been more grateful. Time was not on our side, and unfortunately we couldn't move forward with the options she had provided me. But in the 48-72 hours that we were interacting, Elizabeth communicated with me quickly and really helped me understand the process and our options. She was willing to put other things on hold to help save my grandfathers life, and I'm certain if I'd contacted her a little sooner, we could have been able to do so. I will never forget her efforts and if the time comes that I ever need an attorney once again, I will with certainty be reaching back out to her if possible, or the firm. There's no way to really convey everything she did for my family I. Even in such a short timeframe, she truly did so much for us. Thank you Elizabeth.
