Hired Attorney Elizabeth L. White

Betsy along with the rest of her team fought extremely hard for my family and myself during one of the most difficult times in our lives. If not for Betsy and her team, our lives would have been destroyed. She made us feel like we were her only client. She communicated our legal challenges in great detail with us every step of the way. Betsy gave 150% of herself for us at all times. I highly recommend Betsy White and her entire team.

Hired Attorney William J. Sheppard

Bill Sheppard is an excellent attorney and went over and beyond to defend me during a very stressful time. I am very thankful for everything he has done for myself and my family. Had it not been for him and his law firm I would have had to go to federal prison for many years.

Hired Attorney William J. Sheppard

In 1994, the Duval County School Board filed a statement against my teaching certificate, and the Department of Education requested a letter explaining the details relating to a worthless check charge. Mr. Sheppard and another young lawyer crafted the letter of explaining that the matter had be resolved. The Department of Education accepted the letter and the case was closed. I recommend Mr. Sheppard for your legal needs without reservation.

Hired Law Firm

Attorney Sheppard will promise a client the moon-and-the-stars on the initial meeting, and promise you will pay one amount and the attorney will fix everything. It appears the attorney will feign forgetfulness or amnesia about the conversation. It appears your pockets will be drained. If you visit, make sure you ask to record him and get what he promises in writing. He may pass you off to another attorney and forget all the promises, and leave you out to dry. Find an honest attorney.

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.
