Hired Attorney Jennifer Todd

I was referred to Tedd by my father, who worked with him during his divorce from my mother in the early 2000s. Back then, my mother had to hire two attorneys just to keep up with Tedd’s expertise and determination. That experience always stuck with me, and when it came time for my own divorce, I knew Tedd would be my secret weapon. From day one, Tedd was straightforward, confident, and focused on results. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or waste time—he gets right to the point and stands his ground. I was extremely nervous leading up to my deposition, but thanks to Tedd’s preparation and strategy, I wasn’t even questioned during my portion. The opposing party ended up settling, which speaks volumes about his skill and presence. Tedd is sharp, cutthroat when necessary, and efficient. Despite how emotionally draining divorce can be, he kept things professional, even light at times, and never bled me dry financially.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Todd

Jennifer Todd is the perfect combination of knowledge, strength, grace and resilience. Her and her team helped give me the confidence and strength that I needed on my end to successfully navigate through my divorce. Having her on my side was a game changer in how high I held my head throughout this challenging time. I felt taken care of and fully supported. They respected any decisions that I felt fit my specific situation and helped me navigate through all the other feelings that came up so I could feel confident and secure in the decision we were making AS A TEAM. It was no longer "me versus my ex", it became "us fighting for my best interests". This is a team that I deserved to have by my side throughout my divorce and one that I recommend highly.

Ted was the lawyer for my child custody case. Since first appointment he understood my situation, believed me and provided good guidance, he was very aggressive. The case ended fairly and I was happy with the outcome. I will recommend Ted.

Hired Attorney Jennifer Todd

I had a VERY complex custody case. She picked up my case with two weeks prior to court. She picked it up and ran with it. Her extensive amount of knowledge and compassion not only kept the case balanced, but it kept the case focused. She took an emotional situation and kept a custody and dependency case directed to the heart of the matter. Her WHOLE team made this his happen. She demands respect and honor in the court room and demonstrates extensive field expertise. She was worth every penny.

Ted was the best advocate I could ever have. He represented me with professionalism and integrity. He is a competent and dedicated lawyer who tirelessly worked on my behalf. A brilliant mind and a caring heart were the trademarks of his work. His expertise and inner drive to do his best were critical in providing an effective and creative resolution to my case. I am grateful for Ted and his team for an outstanding job. I totally recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and caring lawyer.

Without reservation I would recommend Rechel & Associate, P.A. A Dissolution of Marriage was unfortunately heavily litigated and my case presented many complex issues. Mr. Rechel and his entire staff were able to handle every aspect of my case. Mr. Rechel was not only an excellent litigator but an invaluable advocate. He provided outstanding representation, resolved my case with not only professionalism but with compassion, assuming a guidance role in getting me from one step to the next.

Hired Attorney Theodore J. Rechel

I was divorced in Florida as an out of State active duty military member in 2018. I did not use Ted at that time, as I didn't become aware of his until my case nearly resolved. 4.5 years later when neither my ex or myself lived in FL anymore, I reached out to Ted to help me cancel my alimony as I believed my ex was co-habitating with her boyfriend. While initially hesitant about the retainer, I was immensely confident in Ted's abilities. Four months later and the case is completely resolved, I won, and Ted saved me several $100k's in future alimony and I'm getting back 40% of my retainer. While his communication is a 4/5, that is offset by the fact that he didn't waste my money. In hindsight he's simply an efficient communicator who told me what I needed to know and didn't churn me for billable hours in the meantime. I fully trust him and would recommend him to anyone.

This attorney bills $450/hour and he accomplishes nothing in court. The slightest procedure will cost you thousands of dollars.
