Hey I'm speaking from experience, im going threw the worst things imaginable, and this law firm has done everything to turn it around. Ms. Ottoman has gone above and beyond and has gotten things in motion that seemed like were never going to happen. Their practice is there to help people. The atmosphere is great and each lawyer and paralegal I've met has worked so hard on my case that now I couldn't be happier. Now that's not always going to be the case for everyone but rest assured that with out a doubt they will stop at nothing to help you out on your case. I would recommend this law firm to anybody going threw this kind of situation, to me they are more than worth it!

I have been incredibly unsatisfied with my experience. I am a low income single parent, living with my parents since my ex kicked my son and I out, and they have run through 8 THOUSAND dollars, and the only thing I have to show for that is three months of spousal support, and a parenting plan. It has been months now, and still nothing is settled. I have accidentally recieved an email not meant for me, I have had to wait sometimes over a week to get responses back, and have not been treated like a priority at all. After expressing my concerns, nothing improved, didn't even get an apology. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. These are nothing but money hungry attorneys with their own self interest at heart above all else.

Update: So they deleted my review again and blocked me from leaving reviews on their page. This place is SHADY as all get out, so dishonest.

Update: Just FYI, if you go to their Facebook page and see a 5/5 rating don't let that fool you they are removing the negative reviews. Mine was one so I put it back up well see how long that lasts.

Very Unethical, after accidentally receiving an email they were not privy to and after being notified several times to not distribute it they did so, which allowed their client to harass and attack a woman just trying to protect herself and family. These people are the ones who give lawyers a bad name.

Unfortunately I had to use them but they did the job they were paid for. My experience says that if you want a quick cut dry no b.s divorce this is you're place however, I feel they did not represent me for "MY" best interests. Like I say if you want it quick and are o.k with them running it and you're imput meaning very little.... They will get it done.

Fast as lighting but meticulous and smart as Einstein. I came to Morris-Sockle because of a previous bad experience from another attorney. They met all my concerns and made sure I understood everything they were doing. I never felt like things were out of control. They would be my first choice again bar none (no pun intended).

I absolutely trusted my attorney Paul and his paralegal Stephanie with the future of my family, and they delivered. They were SO ethical about billing hours and didn’t do any superfluous billing or communication. Paul is a legal ninja. Request him. He has a TON of integrity. In addition to being an excellent legal team, Paul and Stephanie are emotionally intelligent and kind human beings. They know about appropriate legal and personal boundaries. Lawyers get a bad rap, but these people were like guardian angels for me.

My spouse uses George Steele. I called here today for a free consultation. I was told it is a conflict of interest? I'm not sure why I have never been notified of thus firms involvement in our case? Either way, it was not explained in any legal papers to me whatsoever?

I live in South Fl. I took in my nephews to prevent them from being a part of the foster care system. In taking in the children from Washington state, I discovered one of the children was being abused by his biological father. I had to take action to protect this child. Since the children were born in WA and the courts cases were establish in WA, it left me looking for an attorney in WA from FL. Initially Katrina was wonderful. She followed up with me after my free consultation. She listen to me and took on a complicated case. A mother in AZ, a Father in GA, a child from WA, and their Guardian in FL. The initial retainer was 3000. They demand a replenish fee after the retainer, of a min of 2000. When I initially spoke with Katrina I voiced how important it was to protect this child from abuse, but I did not agree with the replenishment fee. The case defiantly got complicated with all parties fighting me as a guardian of the child. This racked up my bill for sure. The biggest issue was Katrina not following up with me, or returning my calls, unless I emailed her with cap letters informing her it was the 2nd and or 3rd attempted of me trying to reach her.
Let me WARN YOU...every single second will cost you. Katrina will not discuss anything with you, with out charging you. If you have a 5 min call with Katrina you will be charged her 250 an hour fee divided in 5 min it took to inform you of the case. Every email will cost you, and if the opposing party decided to drop of documents to Katrina, with out your consent, Katrina will review everything, charge you for the time it took her to review the documents, then inform you the documents provided. She will then charge you when you call with questions, and because the opposing party did not have council, she takes it upon her self to accept all documents and charge you for her time. Katrina knows the documents dropped off by the opposing party, non represented, were not filed to the courts and a moot point however, she still takes them in, and charges you for her time. She has allowed the opposing party to rack up my bill, even though she should be repressing me. Her para legal is 100 an hour, but Katrina makes sure she handles the admin work which will cost you double.
Katrina should have denied all documents from the opposing party and allow them to either hire council, or represent themselves, but she did not. She left an open door policy for the opposing party to call her, email her and send documents to her, as I AM the one paying her bill.

When the case went to a hearing, through default of the opposing party not having council, we did gain temp custody of my nephews. However, two months after the case, I did not hear from Katrina once. I received another 2,000 invoice for many many fees that were not really to service me, but to take opposing information and charge me for it. Keep in mind I am receiving invoicing but I have not heard, in two months for Katrina. I asked to speak with Katrina on October 1, to see where we go from here. The after was suppose to pay child support to us as his guardians and he hasn't, Katrina never enforced it or followed up. However, she wants her 2000 bill paid and wants another 2000 to sit in the firms account for future services. Why would I ever do that when she can't even call me back, or follow up on the case??? Therefore, I informed her bookkeeper that I will pay the remainder owed in payments and I will not just let 2K sit in their account. Katrina received these concerns and emails, and NEVER picked up the phone to speak with me. Instead, she filed a withdrawal of representation to the courts, and sends me a copy of it!!!!! That all. No phone call nothing, she just decides to drop the case. I would have defiantly went with better council. After more research in dealing with Katrina, there are much better attorneys out there. I would NOT hire Katrina if you are looking for council.

In the establishing of a 75-year SAPO, Katrina Otto, the latest addition to the attorney's of Morris-Sockle, did an amazing job! In my work with her there was clear communication and a strong sense of professionalism, allowing the court process to go as smooth as possible while going through a stressful time. I highly recommend that you use Morris-Sockle for your legal representation.

Amazing law firm my wife had heard about through a friend and we cannot be more pleased. Our daughter had gotten into "some trouble" and they were very helpful in getting her out with the least expense to both her and our family.

Great law firm.
