a year agoThis law firm has no concern for people or neighborhoods. They have had 3 buses in our residential area with motors running 10 hours per day as their request. TheSe so called lawyers canโt get on a bus thatโs not cool enough for them. They need a/c running 20 hours. When I spoke to Newman Coach they informed me that this highly entitled firm insisted that buses run 10 hour to prevent the poor lawyers from gettin too hot. Itโs a noise hazard. None of us have been able to sleep for 3 days.

a year agoHolland & Knight was very highly recommended by a great friend of mine who moved to South Florida twenty years ago and built an extraordinary business. I asked him for the name of the top three law firms in South Florida. His reply was very unique and very specific. He said there are several excellent law firms in South Florida, but only one stands out above the rest in assisting emerging businesses with great potential. That firm, Holland & Knight, received a 5 star rating from him due to their excellence in every legal discipline that a high growth and unique business would require during its inception.

2 years agoI worked with Tracy Slavens for the approval of my new dental office in Homestead, Fl. I could not say enough good things about her! She took the task seriously, she was always available and I always got a quick and prompt response to all my questions/concerns. I only wish I had hired her sooner to get my project through the bureaucracy of Homestead! I strongly recommend this law firm!!! Thank you SO MUCH! Dr. Chakalov
