    I was referred to this attorney through the Palm Beach County Bar for a consultation regarding a…read morecar accident and related insurance issues. I came in seeking legal guidance and a professional opinion on how to navigate a confusing situation with my insurance company. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Instead of offering helpful or constructive advice, the attorney was dismissive, condescending, and outright insulting. He not only questioned but directly insulted my intelligence, stating I shouldn't have trusted what my insurance company told me--that they would handle everything. After going through a traumatic event, the last thing I needed was to be criticized and talked down to for not already knowing complex legal and insurance matters. That's exactly why I sought legal help in the first place. He also went out of his way to insult the attorney I've been working with at Dan Newlin's office, calling them incompetent and a "bad lawyer," even though the issue I brought up was completely outside that attorney's scope. I barely had the chance to explain my situation before being interrupted and dismissed. Since then, I've spoken with other attorneys who were far more respectful, informative, and professional. They answered my questions without making me feel belittled or ashamed for asking. Based on this experience, I would absolutely not recommend this attorney. Legal advice should be delivered with professionalism, empathy, and basic respect--especially when someone is already dealing with stress and trauma. Honestly, one star is generous.

    Sharp, Compassionate, and Tactful. When my heart sought out…read morejustice, Attorney Daniel Hunt was there for me in every way. With Attorney Hunt's guidance and expertise, he secured me a favorable outcome and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Attorney Hunt's office for those looking for a respectable, dignified handling of your matter.

    It took me a while but I was able to get a lawyer at Renee & George Pierre to agree to take my…read morecase. I eventually chose a different firm but was pleased with the consultation I had with Jason Remer. He was very knowledgeable and gave me realistic legal opinions. The part that frustrated me was the disorganized office staff and receptionists I had to deal with on the front end. If I had only dealt with them and never made it to Mr. Remer I would have had a very bad impression of the practice.

    These guys made me feel like I was a bovine unit in a battery farm. When it became clear I actually…read morewanted to be actively involved in my own case, rather than just doing whatever they said, they simply dropped me. I guess the amount of the dispute was not enough for them, which frankly is perfectly understandable - it's a business after all - but they were extremely rude and unprofessional about it. My case was that I was terminated and the employer never paid me my last paycheck as well as other money I was owed. I came in for an initial consultation and they agreed to take my case. I was told they would send a demand letter and I would hear from them as the case proceeded. Five months later I hadn't heard anything, so I called them to ask what was going on. They told me to come into their office, where they revealed the employer had sent an extremely nasty response to the demand letter making it clear they were going to fight it. Oh, good to know! Would have been nice if someone had mentioned that sooner! At that point I had to make the decision whether the money I was owed was worth the fight. Since I didn't know what to expect - since I'm, you know, not a lawyer, nor a habitual litigator - I asked the attorney assigned to my case. My specific question was, "Is fighting this going to require subpoenaing everybody I worked with?" This seemed like a pretty reasonable question. My industry is very small in Miami and everybody knows each other. If fighting the case is going to mean roping everybody into some slugfest and airing my dirty laundry for all to see, it could easily just tank my whole career, whether I win or not. When I asked this question, my attorney responded "Uh, yeah, that's how lawsuits work." Maybe that's obvious to a lawyer but I AM NOT A LAWYER - YOU ARE MY LAWYER THAT IS WHY I HIRED YOU. I told them that I needed to think about it. A few days later I wrote them and asked them what the statute of limitations for my case was, and explained that I felt like time was on our side and the longer we wait the better our position will be (this was on the advice of another lawyer friend, not just some bone-headed idea I cooked up). Well, that was it for them. Instead of a response to my email, I received a letter in the mail explaining in boilerplate language that they were no longer representing me. Most of the letter was dedicated to pointing out that they were in no way liable for anything else that happened to my case from that point on. I decided not to fight the case after that. The employer that stole from me (a few thousand dollars) got away with it. Thanks Remer & George-Pierre! My impression was that they didn't want me to think for myself. They wanted me to be driven by pure emotion and push the case forward without thinking about the collateral damage and without questioning their advice. The moment it became clear I wasn't going to do that they dropped me like a hot potato.
