Ms Capuano is an amazing attorney. She believes a father has rights as well as a mother. We had…read morea very bad experience with another attorney when I decided to turn to Yelp to have my answer and it did. She is the type of attorney that actually cares about your case and your family. She believes in doing what is best for not only the parents but the child. She is very quick to respond back when you email, call, or txt her. The office staff is always helpful and courteous when I call. Sometimes you can feel so overwhelmed in family court but this law firm works as a team. And this is the team of attorneys I'd recommend to anyone. After my initial phone consultation I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. It was like we were battling together. The pricing is very fair too. Besides we learned after spending over $7000 on a different attorney - you get what you pay for. Ms. Capuano was able to dig us out of the mess caused by the other attorney. I hope we can stay out of the court system but if not we know who to call without hesitation.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Isabel. I originally found her when my aunt, who was in…read moreher 90s, needed an attorney who spoke Spanish. After calling several attorneys, Isabel was the first to return my call, and from that first conversation, I knew she was someone special--professional, warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. My aunt immediately loved her. Isabel helped her with her estate planning, living will, trust, and everything else she needed. She was knowledgeable and thorough, but never pushy. She simply explained everything clearly and allowed my aunt to make her own decisions. After my aunt passed, I retained Isabel to handle her estate, and everything went smoothly. Even years later, whenever I've needed her help, she has always returned my calls and taken care of whatever issue came up. What I appreciate most is that Isabel makes you feel like you are her only client. She gives you her full attention, truly listens, and you can tell she cares about the people she represents. She is an exceptional attorney and an even more wonderful person. I am so grateful to have found her. Five stars, without a doubt!

I realize that the topic of Divorce is an undesirable one. A friend of mine was in an undesirable…read moresituation so I, as any good friend would, tried to be there for her and support her as best as I knew how. Luckily she found this Company which not only helped her compile the proper paperwork for the process, efficiently produced a ready-to-turn in package for her to bring to the court, and worked with her financial limits but it made the whole experience as desirable as it could be. The owner, Nora, was kind and knowledgeable.. I would venture to say that she borders being a friend with whom her clients can unburden themselves and vent to. She is surely more then just a person offering a service. She really made this difficult time more bearable to my friend, something I am eternally grateful to her for. Also, as the name indicates, it was a really a no fuss operation. We came in once to give information and pay for the divorce, then another time (whenever it was convenient for my friend and I) to sign and pick up the completed paperwork. I really appreciate the company for the service they provide, and the customer care with which they conduct themselves. Unfortunately sometimes things don't go as planned and its relieving to know that there is a way to make it through trying times with dignity and ease. Thank You Nora, and Quick Services of Florida.

Warning to Parents Considering Attorney Jodie Bassichis…read more Hiring Jodie Bassichis was one of the worst decisions I could have made. She abandoned me at the most critical point of my custody case, ignored my explicit instructions, and failed to take meaningful action to reunite me with my child. She misrepresented facts, exaggerated her involvement, and even tried to impose a lien on my home--until the judge rejected it outright. Most of my "communication" was through her assistant, who pressured me for thousands of dollars with false promises. This attorney left me emotionally devastated, financially drained, and without proper representation when I needed it most. Parents--if you are fighting for your children, please protect yourself and look elsewhere.

My consultation with him took place in his office at 8:30 PM, right after I had been served with divorce papers. He promised the world, and I paid him $5000 retainer and $500 consultation fee. That night was the last I heard from him. Also, he puts in his retainer that "it is earned upon receipt" so basically he reserves the right to do nothing for you, which is what he does. I had another attorney trying to help me recuperate my money from him, but he is a lazy shark. He will take advantage of people with no thought to what is right and moral. Believe me, if you hire him, you will live to regret it! Look him up first, please, and see how many complaints he has with the Florida Bar Association! I don't even know why this guy is still allowed to practice! Somebody should put him in jail, he does not deserve the right to call himself an attorney, he is the worst type of human being!

Warning Based on My Experience with a Guardian ad Litem…read more I would like to share my experience with a professional who was appointed as the guardian ad litem in my child's case, in the hope that others do not make the same mistake I did. Unfortunately, this individual is far from the impartial and committed representative that a child truly needs during a legal process. Her work was shallow, lacking depth or meaningful investigation. She did not properly analyze the evidence or consider all the relevant aspects of the case. In my situation, she based her assessment almost entirely on interviews with the child's father and his relatives, while completely disregarding my request to have members of my family interviewed. According to her, that information was "irrelevant" and would only lead to unnecessary expenses--despite the fact that I paid for half of all the services she supposedly provided. This guardian did not act as a neutral voice for my child in court. Instead, she repeated the father's claims without scrutiny, showing a clear bias and undermining the integrity of her role. During her visit to the father's home, she interviewed my son in his presence, failing to offer him the privacy and safe space needed to speak openly. As a result, my son was put in an extremely uncomfortable and distressing situation, feeling pressured to accept statements that were not true. Even when she received therapy reports that documented these concerns, she showed little to no interest in the child's position or emotional well-being. In court, her testimony echoed the exact words of the father, rather than offering a balanced and factual perspective. When I suggested that she interview members of my family--just as she had done with the father's--she refused and later described my message as a "nasty email," which I found highly unprofessional and dismissive. This individual did not advocate for the child's best interest, nor did she demonstrate a fair, investigative, or ethical approach. Her role seemed limited to collecting payment and recommending therapy for everyone involved, rather than actively working to understand the dynamics of the case. She was uncommunicative, showed no initiative to investigate thoroughly, and ultimately failed to uphold the responsibilities of a guardian ad litem. It is incredibly disheartening that individuals who carry the title of "professional" can so profoundly mishandle the hopes of parents and the needs of innocent children. We seek justice and protection for our children in court, and we deserve guardians who are ethical, impartial, and truly committed to being the voice of the child. In my experience, this person was none of those things.

My experience with Annette Sanchez was deeply disappointing and frustrating. She proved to be an…read moreunreliable and untrustworthy legal representative. Throughout my case, she failed to communicate effectively, often leaving me without updates or guidance during critical moments. One of the most upsetting aspects of working with her was her complete lack of empathy, especially regarding my son, who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum. It was clear from the beginning that she had no knowledge or experience dealing with children with autism, and she made no effort to understand or accommodate his needs. She Also Lied and stated she to had a daughter on the spectrum when clearly that was a lie. Who lies about their child having special needs it made me feel as she was mocking or not taking my child's disability seriously. She also compared my child to another child on the spectrum and if she had the proper knowledge about autism she would have know. That no 2 children on the spectrum can be compared.Her dismissive attitude toward his condition was not only unprofessional but also deeply hurtful. Additionally, there were serious concerns about a potential conflict of interest that were never properly addressed. Instead of advocating for my family, she seemed far more focused on financial gain than on doing what was right or ethical. If you're looking for a lawyer who is compassionate, reliable, and truly committed to serving your best interests--especially in sensitive family matters--I would strongly advise seeking counsel elsewhere

I was immediately impressed by Darren's firm grasp on IP law. He is the ideal lawyer -- smart, dependable, and wickedly fast at responding to email.

Later, I used him for additional business-related legal matters. Again, he didn't disappoint. I love my lawyer!

Their initial response to my inquiry was one of concern, assurance, and how they could help get the demand of the settlement reduced greatly, possibly to paying nothing. However, after I paid their substantial pre-suit flat fee, it immediately became an "autopilot" kind of interaction with Darren. His responses were terse and rarely with enough explanation or context. We never saw any of his communications to the person who was going at us. Ultimately, having no transparency, it amounted to him asking us "How much are you willing to pay?" Given his impersonal brevity, his near unwillingness to explain to us anything being communicated, and his seeming refusal to explain anything about his own thought process -- his communication was subpar in a situation where we needed more clarity. I looked for his recommendations. I asked him many questions. He never gave any explanations beyond three words, and only one recommendation which **I accepted** only to then be told, "The guy isn't backing down, so...." Darren didn't show us anything he was doing to help us understand what Heitner Legal was doing on our behalf. And his communication was the pits. He didn't even explain to us the details of the settlement in plain English. He didn't offer an explanation at all. I don't need a memorandum, but a friendly "OK here's what you're signing essentially...." would have been nice. I would equate Heitner Legal to finding yourself paying high prices at a grocery store where you end up having to bag your own groceries at the same time. EDIT: I have since had a conversation with Darren about the initial version of this review. He has asserted all of the work he did behind the scenes. I maintain being left in the dark during these processes as the client is not the best place to be and does not inspire confidence in the resolution of the settlement.
