DEspies Law PA - Sebring (FL)

1 /5 Billy White: I will start off by saying I had to put a star but if it were up to me he would have none. I paid this man $5000 to take my case, and in turn instead of working for me the (respondent) and try to agree to terms of the best instest of the children, he just agreed with the petitioner (other side) lawyer claims. Thus, leading to the petitioner having custody and me only getting my kids two days a week, supervised visitation. There is no evidence or claims that, I, hurt my children or was an alcoholic or a bad father in any way, yet this was the outcome because this lawyer would not fight for anything for me. I have all evidence proving I’m a good father and I spent all my money on this lawyer who did nothing and I mean nothing for me.

1 /5 Amanda Renner: He needs to retire. He withdrew from my case a month before trial. He had staff issues and said he wouldnt be able to prepare for my case that he had for over a year. He went through many paralegals during my time with him. He is not organized and when I met with him one and a half months prior he acted like it was the first time we met. When he handed my papers back they were incomplete and I had papers from another case. He told me in our last meeting that he hadnt done much on my case because he didnt want to spend my retainer but then when I requested a refund after withdrawal he refused. He claimed he earned his money. I ended up with no attorney in court. In addition he wants to make a false accusation that he had no contact with me. Yes look up my Court Record S under Amanda Mercer. He dropped me before my case. He never even provided a temporary relief order. I paid retainer and no results. He then threatened me if I opposed the judge to drop me. That he would only charge me an astronomical amount of money. Not friends with a disgruntled client. I am the client that was unsatisfied.

5 /5 Abrianna Murgado: I was recently able to get the opportunity to speak with Mr. DEspies about family supports. I was so pleased to be able to work with such a kind and knowledgeable individual. This attorney took the time to sit with me and speak about many different concerns and questions that were on my mind. At this point hiring Mr. DEspies when I am in need clearly is the best option in town.

1 /5 George Stark: He didn’t do anything, even contact me, for 6 months, and every time I did meet with him he had to be reminded about my case, then he tried to send me an invoice for $2,000 after dropping me as a client. Dudes office got broken into and his records and files destroyed by a disgruntled employee and I had to find out from a police report. Don’t trust this law firm with your money, your case, or your personal documents, very unprofessional and sketchy. Just look at how he responds to the reviews on here, that’s all you need to know.

1 /5 Kathleen B: If I could I would give D’Espies a -5 star! I hired him to help write out my parenting plan ($1000) and he wouldn’t listen or fight for any of my wants..I was told to give in to everything!! It’s sad to see lawyers like him take advantage of parents trying but doing NOTHING TO REPRESENT THEM!! He made a quick $1k for parenting plan he claimed he’d help me on but continued to tell me to “just let them have it” so he didn’t have to do anything but literally laugh with the other lawyer. Hell his employees didn’t even have to type up the parenting plan and after all that, he didn’t even try to help with child support like we spoke about!! And just to point out about his claim about Amanda Mercer..look up the court record before believing his “statement”
