I would strongly not recommend. I would guess all of the positive reviews on this account are friends or family. I have met decent attorney's in the past. I feel that David is the example that give lawyers a bad name. Again. look elsewhere.

Aaron was very easy to work with. He has always helped me over the years with various questions and situations I have experienced over child support. He is very busy, and for good reason, but he always took the time to talk to me if I had any concerns. He has got a little fire in him, which was great!! I really appreciate him, and my case went very smoothly. He was very patient, fair and professional. The Makofka firm is a real class-act! Thank you again Aaron for all of your help! I have recommended him to other women and will continue to do so. Also, big shoutout to Brittany, their paralegal who also was always willing to talk to me about any questions I had! God Bless!

Aaron was nice, slick talker, Told me everything that I wanted to hear to get me to sign with him. Told me my case would take 3500.00 payed him. Then never really heard from him for over a year during the case but to give him my financials! Showed up late to our Mediation, never said anything I had to do all the talking. Then We had a early hearing for Alimony! That he didn’t even prepare me for , met me 15min before for a quick chat! We had maybe 3 phone calls and a few emails over a year and a half that cost me $3500.00. He said he lost all the records of the emails his PA did because she quit. He went through a couple more PA’s and I emailed him several times to update my case took him several weeks to respond! He could remember any of the conversation we had in past , and just kept charging me for emails for me to be updated on case! I decided to try to negotiate with my wife myself Because I already paid this hack thousands of dollars and just need him to finish the case! Having to get a new lawyer would had cost me double the money! My X-Wife Attorney would tell us that Aaron was very non responsive and never would return her emails or calls! So I really had to go behind the seen and deal with it my self! Then after we agree on our settlement I get a bill for 1300 more dollars before he would finish the case!! For a few e-mail and a couple call that I had to send to get responses from them! At this point he’s holding my case hostage until he gets money, This case has taken almost 3 years and he didn’t even try to win my case for my benefit, it was more for his convenience! Also to note when I questioned him about things he had a quick temper! Had to bite my tongue a few times! Just wanted this case to end! I would not recommend this firm to anyone! Honestly this review is not because I didn’t get the out come I wanted, This Firm is a Joke Especially Aaron! Take note of this review as you want, but Seriously think about interviewing other Firms before this one!!!

I came to David with a very difficult custody case. He was attentive and patient, listening to every concern and answering every question I had. David did not give up until we got the result we wanted. He went above and beyond for my daughter and I, and I am forever grateful. Highly Recommend!

Where do I begin .....Today Mr. David Makofka won the first hearing in a very hard battle I’ve been having with my ex husband. I’m active duty and everyone knows that comes with possible relocation. I brought all my concerns and worries to Mr Makofka from the beginning to the present. He addressed my concerns in full, he explained the process of requesting a relocation and told me it would be no easy battle. I was very happy for his honesty through this entire process and for being patient with me . Mr Makofka has my recommendation in full and I’m happy I went through this entire process with him . I can’t explain in words how grateful I am to have the opportunity for my baby to locate with me ????.

Definitely responsive. Any question's you may have along the process you get answers immediately. Great personal staff. Great team overall.

The Law Office of A. James Mullaney is an excellent firm. Jim is highly professional. He always responded right away to any questions I had and guided me through my divorce process very smoothly. He made it so I understood what was happening at every moment and explained anything I didn't understand. He also filed and completed my case in a short period of time, which was very efficient. I am grateful for all his help and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a great lawyer who is personable, professional and efficient.

Responsive is an understatement. He called me within minutes of my filling out an online form. My case could not have been easier or handled better. I highly recommend him.

I have never felt more secure with a decision for an attorney ever. Upon first contact with Mr. James Mullaney , I instantly felt that my money was in the right hands. Super knowledgeable and professional in every aspect. Service and updates were phenomenal.

Jim was an excellent divorce attorney. From the beginning to the end of my case I was always thoroughly informed of what was to be expected which I really appreciated. Every time I met with Jim I always left feeling confident that all my concerns and questions had been addressed. I wanted my divorce to be quick and painless and Jim granted all of that for me with his exceptional experience and wealth of knowledge regarding my divorce case. If I ever needed to speak with Jim or concerned about issues regarding my spouse Jim would always call me back within minutes if he was able to get to the phone. I feel that this really should be mentioned because I always felt like my case was a priority to him and that really made me feel secure. I was unusually busy working as a nurse throughout the COVID19 pandemic during this time and Jim was very accommodating to my timeline and helped me stay on track to make this divorce happen as soon as possible. I hope I will not need his services in the future but if I ever did need another divorce he would be the first attorney I would request to represent me. Top notch professional.

Exactly what you need when an attorney is in question. The professionalism of Mr. Dorsey paired with his great staff took all the worry away. Watching him in action in the courtroom was super impressive and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. I can't recommend enough...!

Reputable attorney with great office staff. Mr. Dorsey did a wonderful job on a high asset divorce case. He is straight to the point and an excellent attorney to have fighting in your corner. I would recommend The Dorsey Law Firm to any family or friend in need of one of the best attorneys here in the Jacksonville area. Thank you Team Dorsey!

Mr. Dorsey and his staff did an excellent job in representing us in a guardianship dispute. Should you have legal issue, we highly recommend calling his law firm.

The Dorsey Firm made my divorce proceedings smooth & minimally stressful from start to finish. They were always responsive, provided quick turnaround time & made sure that all my concerns were addressed & concerns answered. It was always truly a team effort, which was much appreciated. Thanks Mr. Dorsey & team!!!

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Bill Dorsey was nothing was "sugar coated". During my Divorce, he was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Bill and team Dorsey kept me informed of what my options and risks were. There were no empty promises made, only trustworthy knowledge provided. His guidance never led me astray, and I was extremely happy with the end result. My divorce covered complex matters that Bill and team tackled head on. During such a difficult time in my life, it was a pleasure working with the Dorsey Firm.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Beth and her team. Beth is genuinely the complete package. She is sharp, intelligent, quick, fair, and thorough. Beth genuinely cares about her clients and doesn’t hesitate to do everything she can for them. Having worked with others lawyers in the past, both professionally and personally, never have I ever met an attorney as dedicated and compassionate as she is. Beth takes less-than-ideal situations and completely turns them around ensuring that her clients achieve what they set out for. She legitimately makes the impossible possible. If you’re looking for the best family law lawyer in the Jacksonville area, you’ve found her.

Beth Luna really did a fantastic job with my divorce. It was unfortunately an extremely messy one with restraining orders, difficulty having the second party sign papers and worse a child was involved. Beth was able to help with absolutely everything, she is a skilled attorney and an attorney with real feelings. It is still unusual for a father to gain full custody of his daughter, but she was able to do this through her knowledge of law and experience. I hope to never need her services for something like this again, but if I did Beth Luna is the only one I would call. If you need the best, you should contact her. I am very grateful for everything she has done.

Great attorneys at this firm! I would recommend them to anyone in the Jacksonville area. Very professional.

Jimmy Midyette was excellent in representing my case. I even received money back from my initial retainer. Wow!

Jimmy really looked out for me in my divorce. I felt taken care of, and honestly feel I ended up with the best outcome for my children.

Ms. Perez was a very understanding, compassionate, professional, and considerate of the conditions of my separation and eventual divorce from my husband of nearly 20 years. She was diligent and proficient and worked at the pace that I needed in order to get it over as fast as possible so I could hopefully recover as soon as possible. Considering that I had no assets or disagreements on the parameters of custody, visitation, or child support, she was able to assist me in completing my divorce, from filing to final judgment, in exactly 3 months. I am grateful for her role in helping me start this next chapter of my life and highly recommend her for anyone who is need of representation.

I recently worked with Leanne on an adoption of an adult by a relative and found her to be compassionate, professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. She guided me through the necessary steps and made it simple for me to know what I needed to do or provide and how to obtain it. The entire experience was smooth and uneventful - which is exactly as I wanted it to be. She made my interaction with the court a breeze and my case was resolved quickly and in my favor. Should I need family law assistance again, I would quickly hire Leanne - and recommend her without reservation to anyone else needing legal help.

Leanne was a fantastic attorney to work with for my divorce case. From beginning to end she was detailed, responsive and stayed on top of my case making the whole process as seamless as can be. She is a great professional and I would recommend her services to anyone.

Leanne Perez sincerely cares about her clients and acts quickly on their behalf. She ensures that you understand exactly what is going on step by step. She is sensitive to understanding the stress that any type of litigation can cause and works quickly to relieve the anxiety her clients may be going through. She is kind, courteous, professional, thorough and does not waste time! Thankful to have found her in my time of need! A Godsend, truly! Thank you Leanne!

I would definitely recommend Leanne to everyone. She was extremely professional as well very responsive and gave great advice throughout my case. If I ever need an attorney again I will without a doubt come back to Leanne. Thank you again for helping my family out and calming my nerves when needed.

This team has been very professional.They are not the least expensive but they have always responded in a timely manner even when when had to stretch themselves. They were flexible, prompt and caring, even during the early, scary days of COVID. I like this team on a personal level. They went out of their way to accommodate a frail and very elderly person with kindness and compassion.

Everyone at this firm was so kind and helpful in initiating my case. That was a very stressful time for me and I had no clue what to do or even what options I had. But these ladies helped me sort everything out and explained it all in terms that made sense. The only problem I had was by the time it got to the court hearing I had ran out of funds and could no longer afford to be represented. I had to go in there representing myself while he had an attorney and the judge ended up not ruling in my favor. Things are better now and the firm continues to call me just to check in and see how I am doing. That means a lot.

At a time when my life was so out of control everyone in the firm brought me peace and confidence. They went above and beyond for me. I wouldn’t have the secure life now without them. 5 stars for sure. Thanks for the victory ????

I was appreciative with the service that I received from The Women's Florida Law Group with my case. Although, they were not able to complete my case, Anna did everything she could to assist me. She even followed up with a letter to see how my case was going.

I have personally known the founder of FWLG, Heather Quick, for many years now. She is one of the most passionate and caring attorneys I know. She has hand picked an amazing team that helps guide women through a difficult time in a way that other law firms cannot compare.

I was divorced in 2013 in Florida and was represented by Michael Phillips. The details of my experience are horrific. Michael missed many key points and at times I wondered if he any time at all preparing for my case. I spent over $30,000 in attorney fees and ended up paying my ex-spouse $6900 at first with only 2 of 4 of my children in the house even though we lived on $6000 a month with6 people in the house. I had to pay 3 years of bridge the gap even though the law states it should be a maximum of 2 years. The opposing attorney incorrectly stated my salary and Michael did not catch that. This list goes on and on. Do not hire Michael. You are way better off representing yourself. I am a real person that had my life destroyed as a result of this divorce.

Michael Phillips may not be the only family law attorney in Jacksonville, however when it comes to your family legal matters, he is the only one you want representing you. Michael helped me with a modification in child support which also involved other aspects, as family law often does. He was everything I needed in a lawyer. He was compassionately kind with me during the rough moments, knew how to encourage me to persevere through the process, and had a comforting strength that allowed me to put my faith entirely in him. At the initial consultation he told me exactly how we were going to win the case and he did exactly that. He got me everything I wanted and more. He has a wonderful legal assistant, Katy, who was so helpful with everything and literally has the patience of a saint. I recommend Michael highly to any man or women in need of a family law attorney. He is simply the best, bar none.

Mr. Phillips and his team did a fantastic job assessing my situation as well as providing solutions at a fair price. I expected this to be a difficult process but they made it as easy as possible. After listening to me, Mr. Phillips clearly explained my options and I followed his guidance. The final results exceeded my expectations. I will always recommend Mr. Phillips to others.

Michael and his legal team are absolutely AMAZING!!! Michael is extremely professional and knows his stuff! He is by far the best lawyer I have ever met and would recommend him to anyone needing legal needs and advice. For my clients, Michael made sure to ask all of the right questions, followed up with phone calls and/or emails letting me know exactly where we were in the process. He gets 100 stars all day long!! Michael and team, thank you!!

She is caring and allows the client to get all the information out to apply it to the case. Her whole team and especially Patty, is a wonderful attorney. I would use her over and over. However, I hope I don’t ever have too again. :). Simply put, Patty cares and communicates through entire case.

After years of dealing with a difficult cluster-b FH, at least 3 attorneys, and 2 other consultations; Pattie Parker efficiently and purposefully managed my case with compassion, intelligence, and resolution. She and her entire team are as well respected in the courtroom as they are attentive in the office. Astute in her advice, case law and trial processes, she confidently did what I did not think was possible with honesty and strength. Above all else, she listened, she strategized, and she succeeded.

Pattie provided my family and I with compassionate service, and delivered positive results. I have been working with her and her team for the past year and am thankful to have found them. Family matters are always a sensitive issue, and having their support made this difficult process a little easier. I confidently refer those in need of legal representation with any family law matter to Pattie Parker.

Patricia Parker's law office creates a warm and secure environment during an extremely stressful time. Patricia's team is so dedicated to the process. Their number 1 priority is making you feel protected and safe while representing you during one of the most lonely times. I would highly recommend!

I would like to share the EXCEPTIONAL experience I recently had with Patty Parker and her amazing team. Patty and the staff go ABOVE and beyond in knowledge, professionalism, documentation, respect , care and support. I would HIGHLY recommend Patty to family, friends, neighbors and business associates. In fact, she will be the MY one and only go to for any future legal needs. Law Offices of Patricia L. Parker is truly the TOP NOTCH Law firm in Jax.

This is an amazing firm! They have represented me on personal finance issues and also a family member on a personal injury matter. Attorney Combs is a wealth of information and a brilliant communicator. He is able to breakdown complex issues and nuances of the law, in a way that they become understandable regardless of the sophistication of his client. Attorney Greene, his wife, is just as amazing as a Family Law litigator. Excellent firm in every way!

Excellent and Professional Help.

Steve Combs has been my attorney for eleven years, and during that time he has represented me impeccably. We have been to court numerous times; every time he has been professional, ethical, and knowledgeable about my case. We went to trial against the biggest bank in America, and Steve Combs won my case for me. I have nothing but praise for this attorney, and would recommend him to anyone. I feel that he has a genuine concern for his clients.

Highly satisfied with our experience with Attorney Steven Combs. Extremely professional, thorough and always responds in a timely manner. I highly recommend him as your attorney. You won't be disappointed!

Y'all, family law is STRESSFUL! I am not a easy client by any means but Deborah Green and Maggie at Combs and Green were completely fabulous. They were so prepared that the other side was shaking in their boots. Highly recommend this team if you are dealing with a tough custody hearing! They will not disappoint you nor let you down!! Hopefully I never have to hire another lawyer for my family but if I do, the first call will be to Deborah Green!

The firm is professional, thorough, and completely dedicated to their clients and their needs. Mr. Alvarez pays attention to detail and is always looking out for his client's best interest. I would highly recommend the firm without hesitation.

I have so many amazing things to say about this law firm and the people who make it the best. I will try to make it short and sweet. I contacted Zisser Family Law because I signed temporary custody over to my husband's parents when I was going through a difficult time in my life. When I got everything straight, his parents did not want to return custody to me and when I petitioned for the order to be dropped, they denied it. This has been one of the most difficult experiences I've ever had. My son did not have an easy time either. This went on for nearly 7 months from the day of signing temp. custody to the day they finally signed the motion to drop temp. custody. Jonathan has been my attorney and represented me thoughtfully and loyally through the entire process. He remained professional during a case that is very personal and emotionally stressful. He responded to me at all times when I needed help and he responded to the other side's actions promptly. He was able to forsee what would happen and filed the appropriate documents before the other side acted on something. He represented me fiercely, respectfully, and was very intelligent and talented in every move he made. He was not aggressive, but he was very focused on getting my son back with his parents and he didn't stop until they surrendered my son to me. He knows the law very well and has a direct way of solving legal battles. He has a passion for family law and is very fair in the way he resolves legal disagreements between families. He does what is best for the children and he is very fair. Whether I won or not, I would recommend anyone to retain Jonathan if they every need a lawyer for family issues. His team was wonderful and extremely helpful. Any great lawyer has a strong team. They worked quickly and diligently on anything that me or Jonathan requested. Kristy is the paralegal and she talked me through all the difficult paperwork over the phone and through emails. She is very friendly, witty, and dedicated to Zisser Law Firm. Stacey wrote and filed each important document with the court and explained everything each step of the way. They are all very to the point and they don't sugar coat anything. I knew what was going on each step of the way and felt very confident throughout the case; which is vital for a mother to feel confident about her children's lives. I highly recommend Zisser Family Law Firm and I will be eternally grateful for the services that they have provided. Thank you so much everyone!!! -Taylor

Barry Zisser is a legend. Managed my divorce many years ago saved me financially and challenged claims that were hurtful with a professional and positive outcome. Thank you sir will always be grateful to you.

Zisser Law was highly recommended to me by a business associate. My attorney, Katherine Johnson, was fantastic in every regard. She took time to understand my objectives in the divorce, and those objectives were always kept in mind through the entire process. She followed up on all details during the proceeding and in a timely manner. The entire office is very professional and work well as a team to ensure every detail is covered and the client is kept informed. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce. I highly recommend Zisser Law and Katherine Johnson.

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My opinion was valued and my doubts were always reassured. Joe got me through a rough time in my divorce proceedings. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Joe kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend if you want results!
