My boyfriend got his first two speeding tickets (he got a new car and wasn't used to being able to…read morego fast lol). He was mainly concerned about not getting points on his license or having to complete traffic school. Attorney Straile managed to avoid that on both of his speeding tickets. Although, in the end, the monetary cost is higher when you add up the legal fees on top of the ticket costs, it achieved the primary goal. Mr. Straile's office was very professional and kept us up to date on everything. Thank you, Mr. Straile.

Complete rip off! I had a speeding ticket in Florida for going 80/70 on the highway (that's right,…read moreI was driving exactly 10 miles over on the Interstate, guess that's Florida's way of promoting tourism). I called Straile's office because I am from out-of-state. The secretary said the lawyer would "fight for my case" and charged me $119. But in fact, the lawyer just pled no contest on day of hearing, not even a hearing was conducted, AND I was ordered to pay the full ticket PLUS $106 court cost! I would be OK if I lost my case in a hearing, but Straile did zero work of substance in my representation. Terrible business ethic, avoid like the plague.

I am very pleased with my representation by Mr. Marraffino. He handled issues with the county and a…read morefinancial matter for me. On both instances I found his easy going demeanor very relatable. Office staff were also friendly. I always felt valued and respected. That is why I came back. His legal knowledge is very sharp. He told me once he teaches law at UF. He was able to negotiate a positive result for both of my cases. We consider him our family attorney now.

Like the other reviewer said, she charged a hefty retainer. She was so bad that the attorney office…read moreshe was working for at the time ( Richard Knellinger) refunded my most of my money!

worst attorney ever!!!! not only did she take a LARGE retainer fee....she did absolutely NOTHING…read moreshe promised she would when she took it. she gave me the run around for almost three weeks because she couldn't handle the work she took on. then, when you have the AUDACITY to show up in her office unannounced because she refuses to answer calls or emails (and even her paralegal she sends you too refuses to answer calls or emails) she loses her temper and slams a door in your face like a child. she is by far the most unprofessional, ineffective, and nasty attorney/so-called professional i have ever encountered in my life! a complete waste of money.....go to any other attorney you can because this one will promise to make your case her priority and then evade you and slam doors in your face when you try to find out why nothing has been done.....absolutely unbelievable!!!!!

Maritza Arroyo did NOT advocate for me at all during my divorce. Just fell to her knees in front of…read moremy ex-husbands divorce attorney, Cynthia Swanson. It was unbelievable. It was like she was a groupie of hers; in awe of her ball-buster reputation. I had a solid case of an ex husband who was/is a DANGER to my 3 year old's welfare due to documented drug abuse, but she convinced me to mediate and accept my ex-husbands proposals. Terrified me with the prospect of going to trial since I had no financial resources and he had all the money. It was unbelievably unethical. Rude paralegal as well (Kayla). They both made me feel like I was always bothering them when I contacted them. Wish I had trusted my gut and went with another attorney.

Avoid This Law Firm at All Costs - Utterly Incompetent and Unethical…read more This firm is a disgrace to the legal profession. In 2014, they placed a lien on my property. One of their attorneys has since passed away, and now they claim to have no record of the lien or the payment--yet I'm the one left to clean up their mess while trying to sell my property. Instead of taking responsibility, they pass the burden onto the victim, forcing me to hire another attorney to resolve their incompetence. Stay far away from these people unless you want legal nightmares instead of solutions.
