Barry saved my life! I was facing an 18 month prison sentence, my former attorney had advised me to take it because the case was solid against me. I came to Barry for a second opinion, he listened to me about why I thought the stop was bad. He filed a motion to suppress attacking the stop and the judge granted the motion, agreeing the officer was not in a position to see what they claimed happened. My case was dismissed and I was free to go on with my life. He is a life saver and I can’t thank him enough. Hiring him was the best decision I made!

Barry Taracks & Associates provides excellent legal representation. Barry personally helped a client I introduced recieve perhaps the best opportunity to resolve a legal matter. I was surprised such an arrangement would have been offered considering the circumstances. I highly recommend.

I am extremely grateful that Taracks & Associates helped me out in my time of need. Every step of the process was handled professionally and all the details were laid out to me in a practical, down-to-earth manner. Ash fought hard for me and I honestly feel like I got more than I paid for. In the end the only surprise was that things worked out better than expected.

Ash is the MAN!! A neighbor took out a stalking injunction against me in August. I hired Ash Ghezelbash and he immediately got the distance amended in the temporary order. After two continuances he was able to get the temporary order and petition dismissed by having myself and the other party enter into an agreement!! Ash is highly intelligent, knowledgeable and personable. He took the bull by the horns in this case and diligently brought it to an end!! Ash comes highly reccomended by this client!! Thank you Ash!!!

If you’re in need of a lawyer that will do everything he can to help you through your case and get the best result possible, contact Barry Taracks! Barry handled my criminal case and made sure I had the support I needed every step of the way. I knew he was the right lawyer for me as soon as we had our initial call. He acted right away and got my charges significantly reduced. I couldn’t have made a better decision to have Barry represent me!

Barry Taracks is exactly the type of attorney you want working your case. My life was brought to a screeching halt because I was in the wrong place at the worst time and that's all it takes for charges to be put against you that could ruin your life as you know it. Well, Barry went to battle for me for well over a year and ultimately had the absolute best possible outcome I could have wished for. Barry was creative and effective at proving my case to prosecutors before we even had to think about trial. I'm forever grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a sincere and effective defense attorney.

Thanks to these reviews, I was able to work with a great man in Barry. Very knowledable and alway had me feeling confident after I spoken with him. His response time was excellent. He did what he said. If there is a person to call after a stressful event, Barry is your man.

If you need a defense attorney Barry Taracks is the lawyer to call. Barry Taracks is the best defense lawyer that I have ever met. The Public Defender told my son to get comfortable in jail because he was going to be there a long time. My son was looking at spending 34 months in prison if they found him guilty. I called Barry Taracks and he was able to have my son released on his own recognizance's. We went to Court and Barry won the case as they found my son not guilty. I would recommend him to anyone that needs representation in Hillsborough County. Thanks Barry, we are extremely grateful.

Ash Ghezelbash is the best lawyer in Tampa Bay. He is very smart and professional. He is my #1 pick. He really is an amazing attorney and made what seemed impossible, possible! Called him for a friend on Day #1. He visited the defendant in jail on Day #2. Went to court on Day #3 and my friend walked away with a clean slate. Highly recommend him!

I worked for the state of Florida for several years and dealt with dozens of attorneys in the Hillsborough area. Out of all the defense attorneys representing in my cases, he was by far the most successful at reducing or dropping charges. When I needed an attorney, Barry was the only one I trusted. He is very respected by judges and prosecutors and it shows in the courtroom. He will always stay in contact with you, getting working on your case right away, and detail your best options. I wouldn't recommend any other attorney.

1st I do not want to be confused with contributer named sean that gave the 1star negative review listed on this google review toward bottom of list no relation in any shape way or form. I went to Ash and Barry during one of the most stressful time in my family and my life, i didnt know where to go where to turn they responded quick and really took the time dispite me being a fearful and totally mistrusting skeptical person in the whole criminal justice system (and i still am) but they did everything they can and went above and beyond to put me at ease. They are still attorneys i would highly recommend to anybody.

I’m writing this review to share my amazing experience with Taracks and Associates. I was arrested late in March because of an unfortunate misunderstanding that could of cost me a mandatory minimum of three years in prison. Barry Taracks listened to the details of my case and assured me he could get my story heard and help me with my situation. In one month I received notice that all charges were dropped against me. I posted a cash bond and every cent was returned to me. If it weren’t for Barry Taracks and his awesome team everything I have worked hard for could have been ruined. Thank you to everyone at Taracks and Associates. If you ever find yourself in a legal situation make sure your first call is to Taracks and Associates and then call your parents and cry. That’s what I did.

Barry is phenomenal. He handled two back to back cases for a family member of mine with results that were more than what I would have ever expected. Truth to be told I was pleasantly SHOCKED. Throughout the entire process HE ( not a staffer) kept me verbally updated with timely follow ups in writing. He was very honest, nonjudgemental and confident, but yet humble , about what he could do. And that was very reassuring for me. He's very responsive to your calls , text and emails. (EVEN ON THE WEEKENDS) He takes his time with you and answers any questions you may have with real care and concern. He is well respected by members of the prosecutors office and even the bail bondsman. In fact, when I told the bondsman who our attorney was he said you got the best. And he was right. I would recommend him to friends, family and random strangers without a second thought because he is the best at what he does. If you have a need for a criminal attorney I can't say enough about how much I recommend him. The consequences are too great to settle for less when it comes the legal matters. Call Mr .Taracks. It will be the best decision you can make for your family or friend.

I am glad that I hired Taracks & Associates to represent me in court on injunction case. And I was more great full when I got representen by Ash Ghezelbash. Even a lot of clients probably will feel that he is young and may be doesn’t have a lot of experience yet, and for true it was mine first thoughts. And working myself on this field, somehow I just decided to go with Ash representation. Trust me he knows what he is doing , he handled everything on a very professional level. His responses on any of my emails or phone calls or sms was almost immediately, usually a lot of attorneys taking them times to respond to them clients.
All our conversation was telephonically only as I live in different County and we never met personally. He has a great profesional skills and he likes unusual cases and he will go all the way to get the best results for his client.
What I can say I never went to any court hearing for my case and he got my case dismissed. And if anybody ask me for attorney to represent them over that side 200% I will refer them to Ash Ghezelbash. He worst every penny what he get paid for.

Our family used Barry Taracks as our lawyer and he was absolutely great! He worked really hard on our difficult case and represented us in the best way possible. His law firm is very responsive and friendly, including Barry who took the time to speak with me out of his busy schedule while I was in town. He managed to handle our case, and with his hard work, resulted in a outcome that I didn't think was possible. My family are extremely happy to have had Barry handle our case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Barry Taracks and his team resolved my case with consideration of sensitive, personal circumstances, including a security clearance issue.

Barry Taracks handled a case for my young son. Words cannot express the depth of gratitude I have for Barry. As a parent you can't help but worry all of the time throughout the entire criminal process. Barry always put my mind at ease by following through with everything he said he would do. He always returned my phone calls and emails. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable talking to him. His professionalism in the courtroom is exceptional and he is very well respected. If you are reading this review and need a criminal attorney please call Barry Taracks you will have the best representation possible. Thank you so much Barry :)

Barry is definitely the go to guy if you need a defense attorney. He handled my DUI case outside his normal area of practice in a different County that was difficult to work in. He was professional and kept me confident towards trial after Prosecutors refused any plea bargain. Barry is a shark in the courtroom. Picked apart the case and got me a non guilty verdict. I respect this guy as he knows what he is doing, being he handles big criminal cases and still chose to ensure me a good fight on my misdemeanor DUI charge. If you wanna be happy walking scott-free, go with TARACKS and ASSOCIATES.

Before I say our story, for those without the time to read, I will go ahead and say that Taracks & Associates took a 3 year minimum mandatory prison charge and we walked away with 3 years probation with early release. Every phone call to Barry gets returned the same day. All text messages get returned. All questions, he answers. You never question what is being done for you in your case, he makes sure you know. He started working on our case not even an hour after my husband’s release from jail. I feel incredibly lucky to have made him my second call. My first being to a bondsman.
My husband was arrested for a road rage incident. Not understanding the full capacity of the charges brought against him. While driving home from work going about 60 mph a car pulled out of a parking lot and almost broadsided him, he had to pull into the median to avoid being hit. The other car just continued on as if nothing happened. Angered, upset - he followed the car, passed them and at the next red light got out of his vehicle to yell at them for what they did. At that point he noticed an old lady driving and an old man in the passenger seat who started yelling back at him. As it escalated the old man opened his door as if he was getting out. My husband not wanting things to escalate any more, pushed with his palm of his hand to shut the door, got back in his truck and left. Months later he was arrested and my second phone call was to Taracks & Associates due to their great feedback online. When I called they immediately wanted to know everything about the case. Name, charge, was he released yet, was he booked yet, what happened. From the very first phone call they were already putting a case and a plan together. They informed me that the second he gets released that we should go straight to see them. Not to waste any time at all. When we showed up at Taracks & Associates office, we were immediately met in the parking lot and taken into a conference room. That’s where we were told that his charge was felony assault on an elderly which carried a minimum mandatory sentence of 3 years in prison. Apparently the old man’s foot was in the door and he had called the police and went to see a Dr. who documented a “minor scratch” on the top of his foot. I myself broke down and cried. Although I was a complete mess, Barry stayed very well put together, sat across the table from us and stated “I won’t let him go to prison for this, don’t worry.” This was about the best thing that I could have been told. Because when I was told three years in jail was his best option at the moment, I felt completely hopeless and was 4 weeks pregnant with our first child. Barry informed us that although that was his charge, he was not going to waste any time getting the charges reduced before they were filled by the court. My husband’s first appearance was taken care of by Barry, we were able to go home and just try to calm down. Over time Barry held true to his word and was able to get the charges reduced. But that was still just the beginning of the battle. Every court appearance the elderly man came to and sat in the front row with his wife and got a victims advocate from the court. The victims at every preliminary hearing demanded jail time. The very last preliminary hearing, Barry made sure to get one on one time with the prosecutor to try and talk a deal that was reasonable. Barry then came to tell us the deal. The first deal that did not include jail or prison time. The plea deal was 3 years probation with early release. We were happy with that. We were able to leave the court room last week with me 9 months pregnant and feeling a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. To go from 3 years of prison being our best possible outcome, to most likely having 1.5 years probation… Barry made a huge win. And it was not easy for him. The victims fought tooth and nail with him the entire way. There was no making them happy. Taracks & Associates gave my kid her first three years with her father. And that means everything.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Zachary Armocida for our drug case. If we could rate more than 5 stars we would without a doubt. Throughout the whole process, Mr. Armocida kept us in great hands, and always remained confident and positive. He was able to get our charges COMPLETELY dismissed in our benefit. Mr. Armocida was determined to make sure our careers and futures would go unharmed, which was extremely important to us. We would HIGHLY recommend Zachary as a fantastic and trustworthy attorney to anyone in need in the Tampa area.

Taracks Gomez & Rickman is a fantastic choice in Law when you need an attorney. My personal experiences have been with their attorneys Anthony Rickman and Frank H. Kerney III, and they were both phenomenal. I can imagine the rest of the firm is comprised of equally passionate attorneys that truly care for their clients. I would recommend their firm for any legal issues, as they will always take care of you. HIGHLY recommended!

was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm after a domestic dispute. This entire matter was a complete misunderstanding. My family reached out to Frank Kerney while I was in jail and he came to see me right away. He represented me the next day at a bond hearing and was able to get me a bond so I could be released from jail. He then explained the facts to the prosecution and was able to have all charges against me dismissed. I am so thankful for the decision to hire Frank and the team at Taracks Rickman and Associates. Outstanding team, hope to never have to use them again, but I will not hesitate to call them if I need to. Thanks again Frank..

Frank Kerney represented me in a child custody case for over a course of about 3 years. He made me feel very comfortable and confident every step of the way. It was very important to me to find an attorney that was honest and knowledgeable. I originally agreed to 50/50 time sharing at the first mediation. Before this plan was finalized he physically abused our child. I immediately contacted Frank to put aside the 50/50 agreement and had a trial around a year later. Our child's father ending up in dependency court where he was required to complete anger management and substance abuse classes. At the trial, I was awarded majority timesharing, with the Father getting every-other weekend and shared holiday timesharing. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the case and highly recommend Frank. In fact I referred my brother to Frank and that case was resolved favorably as well.

I worked with Frank Kerney and Zach Armocida and had a wonderfully professional experience. I was arrested for a DUI charge in August of 2014. This was my second arrest and I was facing costly consequences and disciplinary action at work. I called the Taracks Gomez & Rickman office around 10am and had a meeting with Frank and Zach by 1:30 the same day. They immediately went to work on my case and spoke with me at length about what could be done and how the process would work.

Over the following months, the office regularly kept me informed of proceedings and handled me with a great deal of attention. Whenever I called or emailed, I never felt that I was bothering them or that my questions were too small. One of the office's representatives (Holli) was also really helpful and made sure I had all of the information I needed.

In February of 2015, the firm was able to successfully reduce my original charge to reckless driving.

If you are in need of legal guidance, please make an appointment with this wonderfully helpful, professional staff. Call and chat, or better yet, stop in for an appointment and you can feel the great energy and concern the staff have for you. I never felt embarrassed or treated like I was not a priority. I am happy to have had this staff represent me. I know they worked with great care on my behalf and their knowledge of the legal system (and the prosecution) benefited my case.

Attorney Tav Gomez and the team at Taracks, Gomez, and Rickman, have an excellent track record, and this testimonial is written to further fortify that, already strong, reputation.
Those at T,G, & R have a deep knowledge of their field and will take a genuine interest in your case. Further, they'll offer practical legal advise, such that you can best navigate the daunting challenges that lie ahead.
This is one lawyer you will want to have; he will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, through this unenviable ordeal, no matter what laughable fabrication the opposition alleges.
I am grateful to Mr. Gomez for his guidance, support, and generosity in helping me get through my recently concluded case. Thanks Tav!

I walked into Anthony Rickman’s office with an unwinnable DUI case (BAC/Property damage). After reading the police report, I literally burnt every defensive bridge he could use. To my surprise after the initial consultation he said we could fight the case. Mr. Rickman and his assistant Holli were great during the whole process before the trial. The professionalism and knowledge I witnessed ensured me I made the right choice. We communicated on a weekly basis and they gave me a list to complete of necessary tasks for my case. Once trial day arrived Mr. Rickman and the prosecutor spoke with the judge while the jury was on recess. From my point of view Mr. Rickman’s aggressiveness flustered the prosecutor who tried to revert to a case from the 1970’s. The judge ruled in our favor and I agreed to a Reckless Driving charge before the jury’s recess was over. I never had so many people say I was lucky in my life. Thanks to Mr. Rickman and Holli, I still have my career.

“Frank Kerney represented me in my divorce. He was recommended to me by someone at my job, and I couldn't have chosen a better attorney. My wife and I could not settle on any issues despite multiple attempts to settle, which meant we had to go to trial. Frank was able to obtain a favorable outcome for me and we won on the major issues in my case. He guided me from start to finish with the upmost respect and sensitivity to my needs and requests. He never wavered in his determination, and always demonstrated great confidence. Yes, I would recommend Frank and Taracks Gomez & Rickman if you are facing a divorce.”

Hired Criminal Defense Attorney Frank Kerney to help me with my criminal case and I couldn't have chosen a better Attorney. Very nice guy, eager to help, and gets the job done. Went to the Taracks Gomez & Rickman office because I was lost and in need of serious help, and had all of my questions answered and confusion cleared up. For a very reasonable price, we discussed what my options were and what actions we should take that would be in my best interest. The outcome of my case was positive and I am happy that I was able to receive such great results. I came in to the office seeking help on a short notice, thinking it was too late and he got straight to work and took care of business. Kerney is very professional and good at what he does. Their speed and demeanor in which they operate is nothing less than great. If you need help, this is the guy to call. Great people, great firm. A friend of mine recommended Kerney and his firm to me and I definitely recommend them as well! You can't go wrong.

Mr. Rickman was the ideal lawyer to hire for my DUI charges. After meeting him and initially going over my case he gave me his complete honest opinion of the situation and explained a plan of how he was going to proceed given the circumstances. Obviously this is what you would expect from a lawyer, but his personality was the deciding factor and I knew I was dealing with a down to earth and intelligent person, and not some arrogant over-confident lawyer who was all talk. He and his assistant Holli always kept in touch with me and we spoke via email and phone calls and met at the office numerous times between when I hired him and each progressive step forward. After months of back and forth, the prosecutor was adamant about going to trial with my case and seeking a conviction. This led to trial prep with Mr. Rickman and myself a few days before disposition and I was confident we had a great chance to get the charges completely dismissed, as the prosecutors entire case revolved around 1 factor. The day of the disposition Mr. Rickman explained the situation to the prosecutor one last time and how the premise for their case was flawed and could easily be argued. The prosecutor offered a reckless driving charge on the spot. While confident we could still win in court, I decided to take the reckless driving charge since I essentially completed all of the punishment already and the fines would have been less than trial fees.

I've told my friends his name in case any of them ever run into a sticky situation, and would recommend him to anyone else who ever needed legal counsel.

Mr Barry Taracks recently represented me in my DUI charge. The outcome was above my expectations. The State was reluctant to reduce my charge due to a prior infraction. Barry persisted and prevailed with a very postive outcome. He and his staff are excellent in every respect and Barry is a pleasure to work with. Special thanks to Ms Brenda Reed, a very competent, charming, professional and nurturing legal aid. I would give Barry and firm a five star plus-thanks again

Mr. Gomez recently handled my DUI case and was able to get it reduced to a lesser charge. He was very professional and extremely educated in the legal process. He guided me through the steps in the process and all the possible outcomes so I was properly prepared. In the end I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and will be forever grateful for his assistance and expertise in this matter. I would highly recommend Mr. Gomez and his firm for your legal matters. They truly have a vested interest in helping their clients and care.

I highly recommend this law firm. They're smart, diligent, and very professional. I have gotten a few traffic tickets and Frank Kerney has dismissed them all. He has saved me so much money, time, and stress. I wouldn't want to use anyone else.

Barry Taracks recently helped me with a DUI case. My experience with him over the past few months has been great. He is extremely knowledgeable, always available on his personal cell phone to answer questions, and exudes this feeling of confidence that really makes you feel better about placing your faith in an attorney. He never misled me, always making me aware of what was going on but then explained what he was doing to help move my case towards a more favorable outcome. The outcome was reckless driving and some probation. I could not be more excited. Choosing any other attorney is a worse decision than the one you made to need an attorney in the first place.

Being involved in a child custody case could be a very scary and stressful time.
Having the right attorney plays a huge part not only on the outcome of your case, but also on getting you through day by day.
I have recently finished a custody case that was a year and half long, and I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney
than Frank Kerney. I have good things to say about him: He answered my questions at any time of the day, any day of the week even outside office hours. He remained patient with me even when I didn’t. He kept a great positive attitude during the case without setting unrealistic expectations. He guided me with great advise which led us to a successful final. If you are looking for an ethical and professional attorney this is the guy you want to work with.

Frank Kerney is an amazing lawyer and I am truly happy I made the decision to go with Frank and the team at Taracks Gomez & Rickman.

After defending myself from an attack by my roommate I was charged with civil violence. A close friend referred Frank Kerney to me and immediately I received a phone call from Frank.

Frank met with me immediately and was extremely personable and helpful. Frank made sure I understood the details involved in the legal process and everything I was up against legally.

After explaining my case to the State Attorney's Office Frank was able to have all of the charges against me dismissed! I will go to Frank Kerney for my legal needs in the future and will not hesitate to refer him to anyone I know in need of an amazing lawyer. I am confident I made the best decision by going with Frank and the team at Taracks Gomez & Rickman!

Frank Kerney of Taracks, Gomez & Rickman recently represented me in a child custody case. He was professional, easy to contact, quick to respond to every email and phone call, and he genuinely cared about my case. His other co-workers at this firm, like Adi, Becca, Seanna, were also extremely helpful and professional, and were eager to help in any way they could. I never felt like just another case file. I received the personalized attention that exceeded my expectations. Best of all, he was able to get an outcome that is extremely difficult for any guy to get in the State of Florida, especially one that was never married to his ex. I was able to get Sole Parental Responsibility of my daughter and every other aspect of the outcome enormously favored me. An outcome like that is absolutely amazing! My daughter and I are so much happier now! I would definitely recommend Frank Kerney and this firm to anyone I know. Top-notch representation! I made a strong ally and a friend and I will forever be indebted to him for the huge difference he made in my life and in my daughter's life.

Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman represented me on a case recently that went to a hearing before a Judge and was dismissed! Frank was very professional, easy going, and did everything in his power to help me with my case and to make the judge rule in my favor. There was a technical problem on the day of the trial and I was able to walk away with no penalties!! I will definitely recommend Frank to anyone i come across that is looking for an attorney to help them fight their case. God forbid something else happens to me in the future, but if something does, at least i know of someone who will fight for my freedom. I cant thank Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman enough! Thank you!

Barry Taracks literally saved my future! I was charged with felony trafficking; facing a 3 year minimum/mandatory sentence, or whatever the state so chose to give me as a sentence. The process was 14 months of uncertainty; It was definitely taking a toll on me & my family. The odds were stacked against me….. I must say, Barry was exceptional in the courtroom. He was well prepared for all proceedings & this man knows his stuff! I put all my trust in him, we went to trial to fight it, & Barry Taracks was able to get all charges dismissed. Without Barry as my attorney, I really do not know what I would have done. My advice: Listen to him, trust him… He knows the law, and also knows the system. He is an OUTSTANDING attorney. I highly recommend Barry Taracks. He has compassion; I feel like this guy really cares about others.

My DUI case took awhile to resolve but, in the end, it was worth the wait! Mr. Taracks was able to get my DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving with no probation. I am grateful for the efforts he made on my behalf, especially as it had enormous ramifications on my employment/career if I would have been charged with a DUI. I would seek this firm out if I should ever find myself in a legal predicament in the future, and I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing a professional and highly qualified lawyer! Thank you again Barry!!

I hired Frank Kerney about eight months ago. He was very active in my case, and was great at staying in touch and answering any questions I had throughout the process. He was able to obtain a very favorable outcome for me, and I am truly appreciative of the hard work that he put into my case. I would highly recommend Frank Kerney as an attorney.

Frank Kerney of Taracks, Gomez and Rickman recently handled my divorce and Im absolutely pleased to have chosen this firm to represent me. My ex and I could not agree on anything but with the help of Mr.Kerney we were able to reach our agreements through mediation. Mr.Kerney was very helpful and friendly. Mr.Kerney as well as his assistant always kept me informed on what was going on and what was coming up. I would highly recommend hiring Mr.Kerney as I am very happy with the end results of my unfortunate situation.

Just recently Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman represented me for an un fortunate misunderstanding and got my entire case dismissed at a hearing. I walked away without even a fine. Throughout the process Frank and his staff kept me informed and helped me to understand what I was up against. I am really pleased with the decision to have Frank represent me, and without hesitation would ask him to do it again for any circumstances that may arise in the future. Taracks Gomez & Rickman is a great firm and I would recommend them to anyone!

I was recently arrested at a Bucs game on a simple battery charge. I was defending my brother after he was assaulted by a group of belligerent, drunk fans yet I was still arrested. After the arrest, I felt very stressed and anxious over the whole ordeal. A friend recommended I consult with Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman. I am really happy I did! I chose to have Frank represent me after speaking with him and realizing his grasp on the law. Frank acted quickly, contacting the State immediately and was able to convince them to drop the charges against me within a week! Frank was confident and very knowledgeable which was very comforting during such a trying time. I will be recommending Frank and the entire Taracks Gomez & Rickman team to all my friends and family. Thank you again, Frank. I am in your debt.

Professional, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile ! When the attorney you are working with is unavailable in an emergency or an unforeseen situation, the firm sends another Partner to be sure you are represented in a moments notice. You can not get better legal representation in all of Tampa. Taracks Gomez & Rickman was the best decision when it came to choosing a Firm and an attorney that could impact my future dramatically.

I hired Tav Gomez for a personal matter about six months ago. He was very active in my case, and always stayed in touch with me throughout the process. I was very happy with the personal amount of attention he gave to my case. He ultimately obtained a very favorable outcome for me, and I cannot thank him enough for his excellent legal services. I would definitely recommend Tav Gomez as an attorney.

Barry Taracks came highly recommended by a friend. I now know why. Barry handled my case with care, integrity and a strong worth ethic. After our first initial consultation I knew I was with the right firm and the most certainly the right lawyer. Each step, although difficult, was made a little more comfortable due to Barry's expertise. It was clear from the beginning he knew what he was doing and is a respected lawyer in his field. He was always professional, extremely helpful and caring, and also excellent about communicating with me and explaining to me all the procedures and possible outcomes. I can't imagine having gone through this experience without Barry. My decision to go with Taracks Gomez and Rickman was certainly the right one. I couldn't have made a better choice. Thank you, Barry!

Octavio "Tav" Gomez is a really bad lawyer. Unfortunately I hired him and he did not do a good job defending me, even though I din't do what I was charged with. He took my money and gave me a horrible representation. Do yourself a favor, run like hell from this guy and DO NOT hire this lawyer!

I had filed a divorce without an attorney to assist, thinking my ex-wife and I would be able to settle on time-sharing with our son. Which after a few months of our case pending, I got my visitations taken away due to the mother being unfair (not court order). Emailing Taracks Gomez & Rickman I got a response right away. My case went through mediation, which lead to trail. Frank was able to fight for my right and I will now get my son 50/50. I had so much fear walking in front of the judge, after walking out I called almost every contact in my phone with joy. I could not thank Frank Kernry enough , and express how much he has changed my life for the better. I now have my family back and the right to be the father I need to be will not be taking from me by another adult that has just as much right as I do. THANK YOU TO FRANK AND THE STAFF!!!
