Hired Law Firm

I highly recommend this law firm, they went above and beyond my expectations. I am extremely pleased and grateful with Kevin Balentine as my attorney. He is a strong advocate for his clients. I can't thank him enough as he went out of his ways on so many levels.

Hired Law Firm

I found all individuals I came in to contact with to be professional,knowledgeable and competent. One thing that especially impressed me is that endeavored to be extremely accommodating to their clients. Their demeanor was such that a client was made to feel very much at ease making an unpleasant situation more tolerable.

Hired Attorney Mr. Edward T. Mason

Ed Mason is one of the BEST attorney's that I have ever came across. He's honest, to the point and very compassionate. After speaking with Mr. Mason's associate (Debbie) we fired the Tampa firm and went with Mr. Mason. He doesn't care much for cracker-jack attorneys.(my choose of words) The Tampa firm had the case for 2-3\4 yrs. Mr. Mason had the case in court and won within max. of 6 months. Even had the Judge asking "why did it even get this far?" I only wish that we'd had him from the start.

They don't return calls in a timely manner. When they do, after leaving several messages, you have to present your case to them so that they know who you are. You would think they would at least look up your case before they call you. You have to do your own footwork, data collection, and hand it directly to them via office visit in order to see any progress in your case. They should be sued to remove their website from "www.wherethepeoplecomefirst.com" to "www.wherethepeopledontmatter.com".

Do not use this lawyer. It does not communicate well. You'll be dealing with his staffers not him. I literally had to Drag him across the finish line.

Hired Attorney Mr. Bradley Guy Smith

Nothing really has been done on my case and he never can recall things. I pay attention to the jcc and they hate that. I've had surgery and he had no clue as well. His staff gets mad when I call and try to ask questions as well I'm not impressed with thus firm at all and it scares me i have placed my trust in them and my body as well

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
