Please do research before hiring this attorney!! This is a copied text from my Google review: Worst…read moreattorney ever. There is a reason his reviews are so low. Every single email I sent him he lost and needs me to resend and never wants to do anything and gave my ex any the requested. When confronted about it he quit. It was clear he just wanted the retainer and that was it. My new lawyer is competent and lucky it looks like I can fix some of the things Mr coal did. Don't just take my word for it. Look at the other reviews and just for fun, try to find a worse reviewed lawyer in Sarasota. Biggest waste of $5k only hired because he was partially covered by my insurance. I wish I did some research, don't make the same mistake I did.

I sought out Marc for assistance with my elderly parents over 1.5 years ago. He met both me and my…read moreparents and was very personable, knowledgeable and thoughtful. My father is a navy veteran and so is Marc. They really hit it off talking about their service to our country and I really appreciated that he took the time to talk with my dad about their time in the navy and not just our legal needs. Marc listened carefully, asked good questions along the way and accomplished for us what we were looking to accomplish. His original and ongoing work has been key for my brother and me to help our parents. I have tapped him twice for legal advice on amendments for the revocable trust he set up for our parents and he expertly took care of our legal needs for us. I highly recommend Marc to anyone in need of legal advice and assistance. His fees for his services are very reasonable as well. Aside from highly recommending him on this site, I would also suggest you look on the professional review site "Birdeye" for a larger and more comprehensive/representative set of reviews than Yelp has to offer. https://reviews.birdeye.com/marc-j-soss-esquire-374537088

Buyer chose this firm to close on my Sarasota property. Unlike every other property I've…read morebought/sold in the past ten years, this was the first I couldn't esign remotely. Then, they kept changing their mind on the closing date/time. And to top it all off, they completely disregarded their own closing form with new/forwarding address, and gave the address of the property I sold as the address to send documents and checks.
