We went to Shelly a month ago, she definitly knows her stuff but shes very unprofessional. Thankfully there was no charge for our consultation . We sent her the documents she requested and have not heard from her since. She wont return our calls or emails. Doesnt matter how busy you are, at least let your clients know whats going on. If u cant handle it then why even meet with new clients? Anyways just be careful going to this one. My advice is look somewhere else, thats what we're doing.
Review
Young assertive attorney! Extremely impressed with her knowledge and ability to handle an active courtroom trial! Most attorneys just do not know how to be so assertive and effective. She's in no way intimidated by opposition or taking a case to trial (with great success) to protect her clients! She is one of Tallahasse's best!
Review
I hesitated posting a review but I hired her in August of 2018 after representing myself 8 months. I got more accomplished when I didn’t have an attorney that when I did. After hiring her it took her a month to file her Notice of Appearance as my attorney of record. The opposing party filed a demand for documents that she never told me about, I found nearly a month later - not long after they were “due” to be sent back and it wasn’t because she told me. It was because I looked online at my case and saw it. She constantly blamed her legal assistants and even told me she is ready to throw in the towel because she didn’t have enough “time” to do her job. I fired her in March 2019 after my case went nowhere. No documents were ever filed after I sent her everything the other attorney requested and she never reached out to me about anything even after I had called/emailed. She was constantly “sick” or out of the office because family members were sick or in the hospital.
Review
Shelly has taken care of several members of my family on different legal matters and is always approachable and down to earth. She is excellent at her job and knows her way around the courtroom. Both her and her office staff are professional and courteous. Communication is excellent between us. I trust her whole heartedly with my legal matters.
Review
Communication is terrible. Once paid she could not be reached for 3 months! I had no idea if I had court, mediation, or anything for that matter to attend to! She waited until the last day at lunch time to respond to a 30 day petition which had me on the edge of my seat especially since this case was dealing with my son’s custody. She routinely bad mouths and makes fun of her clients on her personal Facebook page, she can be seen out partying, drinking, and making jokes about her job on Facebook as well. Lastly, her 5-star reviews you’ll see on here are from her personal friends. If you do a little investigating, you’ll find they’re all connected on Facebook and regularly tag and post with each other. Her page is public (currently) so please check for yourself before you consider hiring her as she is terribly unprofessional! PS-I have screenshots of everything and a time stamped copy of the petition response should anyone wish to see!

I would like to take the time to give much thanks to Mrs. Fourier and her great team for helping me get through a very complicated and burdensome divorce case. After picking up my files, and combing through all the paperwork and realizing the depth of all the case entailed, they worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my behalf. I couldn't have picked a better team during these difficult times. C.S, October 2020
Review
Gena is a professional colleague of mine and I have always been impressed with the concern she shows for her clients. She fights for them when they need it and counsels them through one of life's most challenging experiences. First rate family law service!
Review
This firm was referred to me by another reputable attorney. I transferred my retainer and scheduled an appointment. I was charged an outrageous amount for a phone call. My first appointment with her was me rehashing my horrible marriage and child custody. Gena already had my file from my previous attorney which stated everything. She made me feel like I had to pay her thousands of dollars to gain custody and win my divorce. After I left my appointment I felt worse about my case and even felt like a failure as a mother. Two hours later I called and fired Gena. Only to find out my husbands attorney had been told she wouldn’t take my case. Do not waste your money and I did win 100% custody of my children and still have money to provide for them.
Review
Gena is a great attorney and person. We recommend her as a family lawyer. We appreciate and thank you for everything.
Review
Overcharged for services in my opinion. Had a huge mix up with a mediation scheduling. Overall a horrible experience in what was already a difficult time.

Adam has been patient and consistent! This has been a year long process, and he has been with me every step of the way. Thank you, Mr. Cowhey!
Review
Receptionist hung up on me after I used my right to keep the details of my case between the lawyers and myself. Completely unprofessional. "You're probably not going to hear from them unless you tell me what the case is about." Call made at 4:58 PM EST on Thursday. If I were them I would reconsider this individual's employment. Other offices respectfully addressed my right for anonymity by simply forwarding my call along and allowing the attorney to get back to me at their convenience.
Review
Mr. Ward is the real deal. He walked through everything and kept me abreast with anything I needed to know and more. Me and my family really appreciate the time and effort that Mr. Ward put in. Semper Fi. God Bless

Mr Factor and his team were extremely professional and well prepared for every issue I encountered with my divorce proceedings . The family atmosphere was much appreciated and definitely made the stress of the divorce easier to navigate . Thank you Max, Eric, and especially Ms Sandie.
Review
I thought I had hired a good divorce attorney until mediation. A week before court I had to update my case with him in his office. He was anxious to end this case since I had paid 200.00 an hour , 20 dollar phone calls an 30 dollar e mails numerous months. He charged me for a e mail informing me my ex-attorney had died.After Mediation I was left with 600.00 of my State retirement check to pay my expenses, $300.00 child support for a 29 year old woman that get disability, substantial lump sum to be paid by QUDRO out of my IRA. After approx. 5 months he was dismissed from case failure to transfer money to exwife.Mr. Factor cost me a lot of money I should not had to pay,Beware future client u may be next.
Review
I am an attorney in Tallahassee and I have dealt with Max Factor as an opposing attorney, as a co-counsel representing the same client on different matters, and as an expert witness. That has allowed me to see several facets of how he works for his clients. Without hesitation I can say that Max cares deeply about the results he gets for his clients, and he works hard to get the best possible outcome for his clients. He is well-versed and exceptionally competent in court and in dealing with sensitive legal issues. Max’s level of investment for his clients’ best interest is not as common as it should be in the legal field, and his clients are better for it.
Review
Mr. Factor and his team proved themselves to be professional, knowledgeable and personable in representing me in my legal matter. Mr. Factor was very clear about the paperwork involved, was upfront with the costs and legwork I would have to do and explained each step in the process very thoroughly. Each member of the team was courteous and respectful of my needs and concerns and displayed the utmost professionalism. I appreciate the expertise this firm provided me.
Review
Great pleasure to work with. Max, sandie, and eric answered all my questions in terms I could understand. Sandie is so sweet. Thanks for helping me with my divorce.

She got the job done... nearly a year and a half after the fact. Sorry to say but really unprofessional. I was getting a divorce and started seeing someone new while going through the divorce/separation. They had the nerve to tell me I need to provide a list of, the man I’m seeings, ex girlfriends... like it was any of their business. Told me how poor of a mom I was because in 4 years I was with 2 different men . Honestly just needed a bifurcated divorce, and my ex husbands attorney did most of it.
Review
Nasty attitude. Had us waiting 2 hrs , then they said sorry the attorney is not coming. Not only that they didn't want to refund our money back
Review
Didn’t get much help with this office. I never got a returned called regarding an incident that occurred.
Review
If you were thinking about using this firm, you should take a really clear look at the way the firm talks to prior clients and the way the firm uses their tone towards people who leave negative reviews!!That will inevitably be the way you are treated if you use these people. Beware!
Review
Mrs. Spires worked diligently on our case. She was there to answer any questions we had along the way and helped us resolve the matter in a reasonable time. Her staff was always courteous and professional.

If I could thank anyone in my life it would be God for leading me to Mr. Mark feathers office. I’ve served our country in the US Army and haven’t of come close to being as stressed as the custody case Mr. Feather took head on for me. From day one he kept me calm and in a state of focus that anyone should have going into a case. He not only served me beyond my expectations but he worked hard and late at night and later found out he and his amazing staff over prepared. Mr. Feather matching my taste in values he represented me in a firm but classy fashion. He was transparent and informative. We prayed together, we conquered together and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. A forever lasting friendship and respect for Mr. Feather, I can always count on his support

Bauer Law Group is absolutely amazing! I am beyond happy with my decision of picking them to represent me. The attorneys are extremely knowledgeable and so so patient and same with their staff (I only asked like a hundred questions a month haha) but again they were so patient and timely with their responses and everything.

Added bonus... his personality is a hoot! You won’t regret having them on your side!

Review
We retained Mr. Bauer approximately seven years ago. Our home had been flooded by a tropical storm and our mortgage company would not cooperate in our attempt to resolve the matter. Mr. Bauer worked diligently on our case all of those years with a final result being a settlement in our favor. I would highly recommend Mr. Bauer to anyone who might need legal advice. We sincerely appreciate his efforts.
Review
We retained Mr. Bauer for a family legal matter. I will say that he is very professional. I was surprised to meet an attorney that was so relatable and treated us like he truly cared about our issue. That is not the case with other firms I’ve dealt with. He was incredibly excited and eager to learn about and help to resolve our issues. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in search of an excellent attorney.
