Attorney Shazia Sparkman of Sparkman Law Firm helped me in the most challenging time of my life! She guided me through every single step, never getting impatient with me when I asked her the same questions over and over, took the time evaluate my options so that I truly understood. Sometimes Attorney Sparkman spent hours at a time with me to make sure I was supported. Shazia and her team did not treat me like just another client, I felt like family. Her guidance was always clear, on poinit and in my best interests. It was so obvious how much she cares. I ran into Attorney Sparkman outside of the office and court on a weekend by happenstance, and seeing her with her 3 kids in "off" mode was only solidified what I already knew, Shazia has a true love for children and it shows in her work and her passion for children's issues and family law is what makes her outstanding. Shazia is a natural- she has heart and soul and delivers top notch legal service. Best decision ever, Thank You!

Lucky to have found Shazia Sparkman & Sparkman Law Firm. I could not have gotten through my custody (5 children) and family law (divorce) case without Ms. Sparkman. Her incredible expertise in family law, attention to detail and knowledge in family law matters especially child custody is balanced by an exceptional ability to empathize and she showed an amazing compassion for my tumultuous experience. Her Trial skills are impressive to watch and during a break in one court hearing, my former spouse made a comment that he should have called Shazia first and he kept telling me he rarely could get a call in with his lawyer. She was not only a ruthless fighter for me in Court -even with a table full on other side of shiny lawyers, Shazia walks in the courtroom and commands attention and demands adhering to the law. She is not afraid to fight for the truth and she is not afraid of being the underdog. She comes in and makes you feel protected and safe. That is what a lawyer should do!

Absolutely terrible experience using her as my divorce attorney. She is very charming and initially makes you feel supported, but from the start, work was sloppy, no invoices but constantly asking for more money. When you do finally receive an invoice, you will note that the legal assignment bills for just saying hello. I spent tens of thousands of dollars and had nothing accomplished. Just an empty bank account, feeling scammed and on to a new lawyer. Trust the negative reviews. She will spend your money but wont do the work.

Paid $60,000+ for my divorce but essentially represented myself - drafting and negotiating all settlement documents while Sparkman merely forwarded emails.My $15,000 retainer vanished for minimal work. Refused to refund unused portions of my $45,000 trial preparation fee when we settled without trial, despite our written agreement. She consistently arrived late or missed appointments, took calls in restaurants or while driving, and was unreachable during critical decisions. When considering options, she snapped "Hurry up and make a damn decision!" She's refusing to refund approximately $37K of unused fees and never provided invoices.I'm suing for the retainer and had to hire a PI to locate her for service. This isn't isolated behavior. She has multiple Florida Bar disciplinary actions:Case SC17-479/2015-10,393 (13F) - Public reprimand Case SC15-639/2012-11,230 (6C) and related cases - Public reprimand She is negligent and reckless in her representation.

DO NOT RETAIN SHAZIA SPARKMAN OR SPARKMAN LAW TO REPRESENT YOU! I retained her on very short notice without doing my research AND BOY DID I PAY FOR IT. Her office is understaffed and her Legal Assistants turned over 3 times in less than a year. NEVER PRODUCED AN INVOICE, BUT ALWAYS ASKING FOR MORE MONEY. She was late to every meeting, in person or ZOOM. Her office filed incorrect Financial Affd. with the court, in short, I FIRED HER. My new Attorney has requested over and over for her office to release all of my information to no avail. Even the opposing attorney was disgusted with her lack of response and I am having to produce again. If I had the multitude of errors coming out of my office that she had come out of hers, I would be out of business. Only now am I seeing all the bad reviews about this law firm...hind site is 20/20...stay clear of this firm.

When I asked you point blank in my original correspondenceI wrote you one month after I paid $20,000 toward my retainer agreement of $35,000. I'm sure you remember the contents of my letter, my concerns, the perception of what was happening with my case which was not a perception, it was in fact exactly what I was hearing, seeing and feeling as the only calls I would get those first 30 daysWas a dutiful reminder from your paralegal, Nikki, letting me know if my obligation of a payment had come again in which I paid another $7,000 after speaking to you that evening on the phone and you reassured me that you had been researching my case File with all the pleadings and whatnot, but we had not yet met face to face so I could show you the rest of the physical evidence I have on top of all of the rest of the depravities that is taking place as she psychologically terrorizes my sweet 8 year old little girl to the point where she is now voiceless, even if she were permitted to call her father

This attorney was suppose to help me do a modification of child support and gave me nothing but bad advice and charged me over $31,000 and nothing was accomplished. I had to hire another lawyer and then found out her advice was inaccurate and not necessary which cost me all my savings. In my opinion I would not hire this lawyer to complete the simplest of legal matters.
