Everything everyone is saying here happened to me. $15,000 retainer, and never heard from him again after I provided it. Also was billed for an administration fee on top of that, which was not disclosed when I retained them. In under four months two different jr attorneys cycled through my case and I was charged for the time each one took to get up to speed. My initial filing was sent to me for review with another client’s name on it. When I pushed back and refused unnecessary filings, and did not want to “refill” my retainer when it dropped below 5000 they sent me a letter essentially firing me (which did not have my current address on it, but rather my ex-husband’s address). I refused to sign it until they confirmed they would be returning the remainder of my retainer. It’s been three months and I’m still waiting. Bar complaint here we come!

This firm wastes too much time and money with intern attorneys and paralegals changing often. My child’s been stuck out of state almost 4 years while he failed to present an overlooked DVI or contact witnesses. This guy’s ego gets in the way while he tries to evade hearings and sends you to an outdated “expert” extorting more money $2500 to write a report he never did. Real witnesses are ignored then you’ll begin again with another assoc attorney assigned and another new bad paralegal

Every negative comment in here is true. I'll be filing with Florida Bar if he's not corrected many errors made with my child being isolated and alienated now. This firm constantly changes staff and bounces you around to different people to stall for more time. They all review file information repeatedly unprofessionally.

I'd wish I saw this site before paying this person $16,000 with NOTHING done! My daughter is stuck out of state since 2017 and this attorney lied on having her back in Florida then took a vacation. He sent me to a "friend" doctor to write a letter but $2500 later no results again-They've threatened to withdraw if I don't allow to be medicated and tell a Judge I'm at fault for what another state's already investigated. I now plan to move out of Florida to correct this atrocity ASAP!

Hired in July 2017, Fired in April 2018 after paying $20,000.00 for a divorce that never happened. I am still married and my life is in limbo. They did nothing to help me, but made lots of promises and billed for reading things multiple times and made sure they always had $5,000.00 in my retainer account at all times so they were always billing me. I don’t know why since nothing ever got accomplished! My attorney actually played on her phone during my mediation, which I was also not told about the charge for so when the mediator brought it up, I’m sure I looked like a deer in headlights, but they could’ve just taken it from the $5,000.00 retainer they already had of my money. They hardly ever returned phone calls and when they did, they just gave you the run around. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!

Great team, compassionate, and eager to help. I had money problems and they went the extra mile for me. Thanks to Kantaras and his team, today, my son is with me. Thanks Kantaras Law.

My 3 children were taken from their mother after residing with me in Michigan for over 2 years and are currently residing in the state of Florida with my ex-husband who is a violent individual, thanks to Mr. Kantaras. He also charged me over $700 for his "free consultation" during which he was checking football scores online. He nickeld and dimed me for over $6000. He never returned phone calls, I only spoke to his paralegal, and they dragged their feet on my case for over 2 months when I expressed the urgency of keeping my children safe. I had an associate attorney present with me at a hearing that knew very little about my case and was completely unprepared and because of this the judge was not presented with all the facts and I have retained a new attorney to get my children home. They also breached my client/attorney privlages with a GAL over seeing this case. They take advantage of people in desperate and vulnerable times, and did not look out for my children's best interests.

After reviewing the ratings I can see all my complaints to the Fl Bar are validated even further.I am hoping the Bar takes action against him for his unethical behavior.He does not work in the best interest of the client.In 5 months I only met with him 3 times. All 3 times he was distracted with phone calls etc.He double dipped also. That valuing him at $800 PH. He is not worth the $400 PH. His paralegal runs your case.I have paid for unnecessary filings and time spent over unnecessary issues, all according to him! Lack of communication in house.Yes, facts and intentions are not presented even on request!Cost of MC,Mediation,Trial never discussed or direction case was going in. All billing statements were incorrect. Had to request them in the 1st place!EXP.Billed for free consultaion, over $500.He comes off as very confident and working in your best interest. Not, he takes advantage of one's grief and emotional state.Low profile divorce,he had me up to over $7,000. Hired new Attorney.

This guy screwed me out of 10,000 dollars. After I told him what I wanted done he advised me that it was going against his wishes and discontinued my case. I also had to file a complant with the flordia bar and after 4 months I got a check for 2,000 dollars from him. This guy did me so wrong

He represented me in my divorce. I thought he did well with it until my ex never did what the court ordered her to do. I had to re-hire him to file the contempt motion and he delayed, dragged his feet and continued to bill me for more fees. I filed a complaint with the Florida Bar and now, because of delays, I have filed bankruptcy. If he would have acted when I re-hired him in November '08, my situation would probably be different.
