If you're hurting, you're in the right place. You will not find a better group of people to fight for you. They truly care about you and what you're going through. They will fight for you and do whatever they can to help. There is always someone available to speak with you. Joseph Diaco is an incredible attorney. He is a family man, incredibly intelligent and kind. He will always do right by you. Diaco Law is an amazing, trustworthy law firm and was an even better experience as an employee. They taught me so much, professionally and personally and launched my career into something I didn't even know I was looking for. You are in great hands with this firm.

The Diaco family has been providing Tampa with quality service for years, this is why I chose them to represent me after my auto accident in December of 2019. Jay has the most professional and responsive team in the business, they we're always available when I had questions and treated me like I mattered. My case has been finalized and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Chose Diaco Law over the firms that advertise the most, you'll get a more personalized experience and a name that's known by insurance companies for being aggressive.

Settled my lawsuit quickly. Thanks

Refuse to help clients. Rude, unresponsive asshats here. Don't use them. Find another lawyer.

Had an amazing experience with this law group the first time I used them for a car accident. They did everything over the phone. It did take us a year to win the lawsuit. But we never met them in person until we picked up the settlement check. Which was awesome. The second time I used them that wasnt the case, I kinda felt like they were not on my side mainly the person taking the calls and working for Mr. Diaco. I believe that to run a great office your staff have to be just as good as the attorney is. Get rid of her. And I'll give your office 100 percent recommendation.

I was in a car accident and needed legal representation. I wanted a local attorney who would know me by name and not by case number. Having been an attorney for over 20 years, I knew what to look for during the initial consultation: a lawyer that is knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, realistic, and genuine. Matt possesses all of those qualities. He did not push me to see a certain doctor. He only offered suggestions if I asked. One thing that stood out is that Matt called every month to see how I was doing. He did that for almost two years. In the end, I received slightly more money than I had hoped.

Highly recommend!! Hiring Matt was the best decision I made after my car accident. I was getting fooled around by insurance and doctors and Matt did everything possible to help me with the process as I healed. He is knowledgeable, patient, and kind! He made a bad and stressful situation manageable. Matt was like an angel sent down from heaven!

Matt came recommended by a colleague as someone that would have the best interest of me and my family. He was easy to get to know and work with because of his level of empathy and understanding for his clients. His dedication and diligence to getting the best outcome was immediately recognized and I'm grateful for his work. I would extend the same recommendation I was given to anyone needing legal help after an accident.

Matt was awesome. He got things DONE! And so quickly I was absolutely astonished. Highly recommend him.

If you want your case handled with honesty, integrity and clear cut direction, you will find in hiring Matt! He listens to your needs and offers guidance on each step.

I highly recommend Bernard Walsh and his staff. Being treated like a family member put my mind at ease when I needed it the most. They are always responsive and professional. I’m so very grateful for everything they did for me. If you need them, give them a call.

My name is Jenni and 1.5 yr ago i was in a horrific three car collision. I was middle car. This resulted in severe spinal cord injury, rotator cuff injury and concussion. Florida is no fault state and i was limited to personal injury amounts provided by r insurance company. Mr Walsh and his staff helped me through all processes with support, encouragement, and caring. I highly recommend this firm for anyone in distress needing help. I cannot thank them enough for helping me through this difficult time of my life. Many thanks.

The staff and lawyers here are experienced and professional. My experience with this law firm have been with Mr. Murphy. He was quick to respond, understanding of my situation, and passionate about his profession. I still to this day recommend friends and family to this law firm.

After my car accident I was in pain, worried about how I was going to get my car fixed, and I was unable to work. I was referred to the firm by a friend. They helped make a stressful situation into something I didn’t even have to worry about. They communicated with me throughout the process and managed to get me a great settlement for my case. I was able to focus on my recovery and trust that they would handle my case. The associates and staff were very friendly and helped me through the process and connected me to great doctors and physical therapist. I highly recommend this firm if you ever find yourself in an accident and need some support.

Great staff. Everyone was very communicative. Response time is fast when filing for a claim

Highly recommend! The experience I had with Romero Law Firm was very smooth, they told me what they needed from me and to be patient with the process as well as calling with updates. As someone not familiar with how they assist people like myself, they explained things very well. In less than a year they settled my case and I’m happy I chose them to represent me for the auto accident I was in.

Excellent work and service I was guided through every step I am highly appreciated.

Candi was nice and responsive. She tried her best to answer any and all questions I’ve had. I haven’t had to deal with anyone else there other than maddy, she was nice and well mannered and helped me in the best way possible when candi was unavailable. Overall great company and great employees.

I'm very satisfied with my representation from Romero law they can't kept me informed and answered any questions I had!! Thank you so much!!!

I had an issue and once I spoke to Candy I feel that it has been resolved to my satisfaction and that Romero did right by their client. I only wish the communication with everyone had been as good to start with. I appreciate her taking the time to call me and go out of her way to make things right. Overall, I would recommend.

My husband and I just purchase our first home and the law firm was there to help us every step of the way! We’re so lucky to have had their guidance and expertise. They made sure everything was handled while we focused on the fun and exciting part of buying our first home.

Chad Gates is a class act… Truly a seamless process closing with Band, Gates & Dramis. I appreciate their timely communication, trustworthiness & prompt attention to all details.

Chad Gates has helped in many of the transactions I do in real estate. He has deep knowledge of all types of transactions (foreclosures, traditional sales, short sales, investments, etc) and he's my go to guy for a local real estate lawyer. I will continue to use his services. Billie (works in his office) is SO easy to work with it's a pleasure every single time. They are ON POINT.

Least “lawyery” law firm I’ve ever used. Closings, LLC’s...a pleasure to do business with. If you must deal with a lawyer....

Eric brings his knowledge of the law down to a personal level, as well as a tenacity in resolving your issues quickly, and happens to be a great guy to boot. i wouldn't choose anyone else in matters with my business, and I'm so happy i found them. thanks again Eric!

    Chad Gates has helped in many of the transactions I do in real estate. He has deep knowledge of all types of transactions (foreclosures, traditional sales, short sales, investments, etc) and he's my go to guy for a local real estate lawyer. I will continue to use his services. Billie (works in his office) is SO easy to work with it's a pleasure every single time. They are ON POINT.

Best Law Firm in Sarasota,

There is No Better Law Firm and That’s Being Totally Honest. They Care about you and Work Hard for their Clients and They Get you The Biggest and The Most of a Return on your injury. They make No Promises They Can’t Keep but They Blew me away Getting Me More than I Expected..... Thank you to Everyone at The Firm for working hard for Me and Making sure I was Well Taken Care of !!!!! ???????????????? 5 Stars isn’t Enough God Bless y’all Stay Safe ❤️

very helpful staff and the attorney explained everything step by step. I had a great experience using them!

At the time of my accident I was working in a nursing home. You really had to work for your pay which included being short staffed. I was on WC for about a month before my husband said you should be getting paid. Mind you I was unable to walk at all, couldn’t shower without help, and I had 4 kids to still tend to. All I got from management was attitudes and why I can’t work. So after calling several attorneys who didn’t want to take me on due to the severity of my case, Berlin law firm did. They were very attentive to all my needs, they rushed medication orders, they took care of everything. Every time I emailed them they emailed right back. They were awesome! I would recommend them 1,000 times over.

I worked for a roofing supply company for the past three and a half years. During that time the physical demand of the job took a toll on my body, and accidents were many, so much so that I had three different Worker’s’ Compensation claims that were still active. I don’t use FB much, but one night I happened to log in and came across an ad promoting Workers’ Comp Law Firms. It asked if you had any claims in the past three years, and if so, to “enter your information in to be contacted by a law firm near you!”.... so I did. To be honest, I didn’t really expect much to come from it, but hey, it was worth a try, right? The next morning I was contacted by Berlin Law Firm. I spoke with them on the phone for about an hour and explain the circumstances of my claims, for which they promptly accepted to represent me on. The fact that I happened across that ad must’ve been divine intervention, because I felt trapped at that job. The benefits were great ( top end medical/dental/vision, 401k match and profit sharing, PTO and sick days ) and the pay was okay, but man did you have to work for it! However, as we all know, the job market isn’t the best around here, especially when you have a tainted past. So I definitely felt trapped and it was depressing me to the fullest. Well, I’m happy to say that Berlin Law freed me from that trap! Our day to day contact was handled by Sydney, I was represented by Amanda, and Steve Berlin finished it of with the mediation. They were extremely attentive the entire time, and man, did they own it! So if you find yourself in a similar situation then I highly recommend that you contact Berlin Law. Even if it’s for a quick assessment. Trust me, with their combined professional experience, you’ll be in great hands and you will NOT regret it! Thanks for freeing me, Berlin Law! : )

I was transferred to one of the Attorneys. According to the website, the company does litigations. After speaking with me, (maybe 1 minute) the attorney stated they do not do litigation and promptly hung up on me.

This firm handled my house closing. Out of a dozen or more home sales, it was by far the worst closing I have even taken part in. They were unprepared, rude, did not have my money at closing, blamed everyone from the buyer's financing to Fedex for their mistakes. They might be great for other types of legal matters, but not home closings.

I retained Kenneth M. Poole, Jr. as my attorney in June 2011. Ken was steadfast in his representation of me in long-drawn-out, post-divorce litigation that concluded in June 2019. Ken never once let me down in his knowledge of my case and its myriad of details. He was quick to produce documents when they were necessary, and I was often in awe at how he made the complex simple. Ken was a steady ship and wise counsel. I highly recommend.

Ken Poole represented me! Any phone call, email I made to him he responded within 24 hours sometimes sooner depending on the urgency. Very impressed with his cummication.. fees were reasonable. He directed me through a very emotional time and we got the best possible outcome with staying out of the court room. Thanks again for your professionalism.

Attorney Elisabeth Whitmire was very professional and patient when reviewing and revising my post nuptial agreement. She took the time to explain why certain things should be revised and how it applies under the law. I recommend attorney Whitmire because she is so knowledge about how Florida law works.
