My girlfriend and I were in a car accident back in South a Florida back on Mother's Day it was not a good experience. We did not know where to start since it happened in SWFL and we both live here in Gainesville. I did some research online & this firm was the one that stuck out the most to me. This was the only call I made in my search to a firm representing us. I could not be any happier with my decision. Mr. Mercadante, Mrs. Payne & the whole staff have been an awesome help! They are so great, fast, knowledgeable, friendly, caring, passionate and professional. They walked us through every step, they referred me to a number of people around time to help with the needs of my girlfriend and I. That was the biggest help because we had no clue about anything here in Gainesville since we were new here. This may be a small firm but they have a huge impact on the community they serve! That truly speaks volume! Schackow & Mercadante truly cares about the community and their clients! When you choose this firm to help with any of your needs, you will not be just another client or number like other firms, you'll become apart of their family!! I am glad I chose Schackow & Mercadante! read more
