Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Being 1000 miles away from an elder parent and needing local representation had us very nervous. We were fortunate enough to find Mr Coleman and his team who walked us thru a solution to our situation and they stayed involved in every step to completion. Didnt know them at all but they treated us like family. Happy to give our highest recommendation to Mr Coleman and his great team.
From the moment I called Coleman Law and spoke to their Receptionist, then to Livia, the Paralegal, I knew I was in good hands. A Zoom call was set up with Mr. Coleman. After that meeting, I felt even better and more sure of my decision to hire Coleman Law. Professionalism was absolute. And I found everyone at the firm warm, patient, kind and understanding. Our Father's affairs were in disarray. Mr. Coleman & his team were not only thorough, but helped my sister and I to understand everything-past, present and future. We are so happy to have found Coleman Law, and are forever grateful for their services.
Working with Attorney Coleman and his staff was a very positive experience. The entire staff is very compassionate, caring and professional. I was thoroughly impressed with how organized and knowledgeable the entire staff is. I would highly recommend Coleman Law Firm for any estate planning needs.
Jeff Coleman is a very experienced, trustworthy legal counsel who cares about his clients. We have been procrastinating, and went into the process of creating a living trust as a daunting task, but Mr. Coleman discussed every detail in a relaxed atmosphere in a way that was easy to understand. He was extremely thorough in explaining everything to us in a very straightforward manner. He gave us all the options so we could make the best decisions for ourselves. Mr. Coleman, along with his paralegal Livia, always responded very quickly when we needed further clarifications or had additional questions. They follow up promptly during the process every step of the way and are there to guide you along with any future changes or updates that may be necessary. I highly recommend Mr. Coleman and his team.
Mr. Coleman is very knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. He and his crew are very warm and welcoming, and handled the entire estate process beautifully and professionally, from the first meeting to the final product. I highly recommend them.
I was fortunate, indeed, to discover the services of the Coleman Law Firm. To be transparent, I was relatively new to Clearwater and looking for a neighborhood firm. Their reviews were good, so I made an appointment. Couldn’t have been more delighted. I was treated with courtesy, respect, and professionalism. As executor of my recently deceased mother’s estate, I had numerous questions, despite my tenure in the financial industry. My questions were taken seriously and I was comfortable with having full knowledge before proceeding. I highly recommend the Coleman Firm. Go and meet them if/when you have a need.
Empathy, Compassion, Experience and Expertise Attorney Coleman and his staff responded quickly to our unexpected situation. Our mother's health took an unexpected turn, and they did everything within their power to support and guide us through a very difficult time. We never had to wait for a phone call or chase anyone for answers at any point. Attorney Coleman and paralegal Livia Di Scioscia were in constant communication with us. They also worked around our schedule, meeting virtually and onsite at Mom's assisted living facility. We highly recommend their team, services, and professional opinion.
Jeffrey and his team were very helpful worked, with me, answered all my question and explained every detail.
I took my vision impaired family member to see Mr Coleman to set up their will and trust. When we met and I explained the impairment. Mr. Coleman listened, took notes on what she wanted and took his time explaining all options. When documents were completed, Mr. Coleman went over the documents with her and answered all of our questions. When we arrived to sign, his Paralegal, Christine Creasey used a small flashlight to point out where to put each signature needed. The time and patience shown to us by Mr. Coleman and his staff is greatly appreciated.
Jeff Coleman has helped me with several revisions of my estate documents; he is very detailed, Jeff & his team anticipates the questions and provides alternatives and answers. They provided a comprehensive plan professionally; I feel secure knowing I've got the best!
