While working with Miss Johnson I have found her to be the most honest and ethical person I've met in my lifetime. Miss Johnson works very hard and timely with extreme attention to detail. She handles matters in a polite respectable manner, so much so she was able to win respect and admiration from even the opposing side. Her fees are reasonable and fair. I highly recommend Ms. Johnson and her firm.

I would give a negative if I could. HP has been serving our family faithfully from 2010 until 2025…read more We had a wonderful relationship with HP, and they charged us a minimal amount. We loved Ron Witt. HP represented my husband, as guardian, for his severely disabled brother. In January 2025, my husband passed away. I tried for weeks to get someone to respond to phone calls and emails. Only when I contacted the court did HP respond. It seems our attorney, Katie Kok, was on maternity leave. This is no excuse for not returning messages. After 6 weeks Katie responded to my communications. My brother-in-law was left high and dry for 3 months until the papers were filed for a new guardian. He currently has no guardian, cannot get health care, and his social security benefits were cut off. Once Katie replied, everything was done very quickly. Then, on May 8, we were notified that Katie was leaving the firm and HP would no longer handle guardianships. We were told HP would hand off our file to another law firm. I responded to their letter, asking about fees charged by the new law firm, but never received any reply (as usual). As I said above, HP was always very good to us regarding fees as my brother-in-law lives on Social Security. I am retired and am the only family member that helps financially. Knowing how much they will charge is of great importance to me.

Very disappointed in legal guidance received from Brian L. Trimyer of Harlee and Bald Law Firm of…read moreBradenton, Florida. Hired Attorney Trimyer 1.5 year ago, presented my case, delivered documents for the anticipated litigation. Spent time, energy, resources (expert reports etc.) and went for the first deposition only to find out that my attorney, Brian Trimyer was not objecting to anything during my deposition but actually was supportive of the opposing counsel. Being on a good side of the 'high power lawyer" was more important for Brian Trimyer than to fight for client's interests and, ultimately for the truth. I had to deal with an unexpected, sudden death of the loved partner and multiple legal issues risen out of his death. Instead of effective legal guidance and sound advice, I found more problems and hefty legal bills without results! I would not recommend Brian Trimyer to any consumers who are seeking solid legal guidance in any stressful circumstances. The hired legal help supposed to guide, support, fight, object, uphold the rights and interests of the client. Period.

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.
