Associate Bobbi Blush is an excellent attorney who practices law with the utmost integrity. She always advocates zealously on behalf of her clients. She is an asset to the firm and I highly recommend her!

Based on a friend's recommendation, my husband and I hired K. Dean Kantaras to assist us in a dispute with our contractor. Our ordeal was stressful and frustrating but talking with Mr. Kantaras put us at ease from the beginning. Mr. Kantaras was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His office staff was always friendly and caring. We never felt rushed nor petty. Our matter was resolved fairly and quickly. We highly recommend K. Dean Kantaras.

Top notch, straight shooting, experienced representation and hard working staff. Listen to your lawyer's advice - you hire preeminent experts when you work with Mr Kantaras' firm.

Incredibly professional and experienced. Well worth the money if you need someone to get it fixed this is the guy. They worked with me to pay after all was said and done but everything was done. Amazing staff

Kyle was excellent at doing a thorough job and making sure that my rights were protected. He also took the time to make sure that I understand all the aspects of my case. There was some turnover with their paralegals during my case and they went above and beyond to handle the matter for me. They are a very ethical firm.

Stay away from this one, incompetent and would never use again. High priced and no good results. Better to get a layers that just graduated than to use this firm.

Went in for a free consult- was seen about 40 minutes later than scheduled. That’s really not a big deal. The entire time I’m talking to this guy, he’s clipping his fingernails. Dead serious. I got the opportunity to ask two questions and his responses were “did you hear what I said” and “are you even listening to me”. He told me that he assumed I just wanted info to handle things myself (you’re wrong, Dean). He then quoted me an outrageous retainer fee and told me that everything I have filed in my case so far was done wrong. Pretty impressed he would know that without even looking at anything I had. It’s just wrong because he said so I guess. This guy comes across as incredibly toxic. I never felt so pushed out of someone’s office after being quoted almost $6,000 (“I take credit cards if that makes it more comfortable, hurderhur”). I ended up hiring someone else who actually took the time to listen to me, quoted me way less, and expressed genuine interest in helping me. Also the petition I filed turned out to be completely correct for what I’m trying to do.

I am a board certified attorney in the Tampa Bay area. I've known Dean Kantaras for several years now and have referred him both co-workers and family members. Without fail, Dean and his team perform outstanding work on behalf of the referrals I've made. Also, be aware that there are many "fake" attorney awards floating around. "Top," "Best of Tampa," etc.... Board certified attorneys have objective experience requirements, peer review and must pass high-level examinations. If you hire Dean Kantaras you will be getting the highest level of professionalism and expertise recognized by the Florida Bar. No attorney can ethically guarantee an outcome but you can be assured to be well-represented.

bad bad bad, paid him for my divorce & he kept the filing fees and never even advised me there was a court date to attend. Judge threw the case out since I didn't show, (had no knowledge!)I have 3 kids & this process was over a yr long so meanwhile my kids never got a single dime in child support. He apologized with a lame "chng in office personnell excuse" & said he would take care of it if I pay only the court filing & processing fees... $500 ..again. I'm already into this guy, if i start over it costs more...So like a fool I give him another chance & the exact same process takes place. No notice of court date. He's a real piece of work, never did a thing yet made $1000 off a single mother of 3 who was making $10/hr to survive. Wow.

I have worked for this law firm for almost 9 years and have enjoyed every day. Dean is a great boss and has always treated me with respect and kindness. The staff always displays teamwork when another is in need of help. It is a pleasure to work for such a great firm.

I highly recommend Ms. Stephanie Libbey. She has been extremely professional and wonderful to work with. With Ms. Libbey’s expertise I was able to get a 12 year injunction granted to keep my daughter and my self safe. Thank you Stephanie!

THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

My name is Valerie and I had a great experience with K. Dean Kantaras' Law firm. During my marital upheaval I worked with Dean Kantaras as well as few other attorneys from his firm. In addition to providing superb services they are very up front about their fees, costs and expectations about how my situation would unfold. They also have a friendly and helpful staff - they treated me with compassion and empathy, more like a family member rather than just another customer.

In today’s “high tech” and “fast paced” society, it was nice to find an office that takes the time to get to know me as a person in addition to providing excellent services.

K.Dean Kantaras' Law Firm is a step above and beyond most offices.

I have found my experience with this office to be extremely satisfying and I would recommend them highly to anyone and who needs a competent, honest and understanding attorney.

I will start by saying that if you are looking to hire a family law firm, well, keep looking, I think this is probably the WORST people to deal with regarding your family case.

When working with Mr. Kantaras, you think that things can’t get worse regarding the lack of interest in your case, well it does. Every aspect of the management of your case, gets worse by the day.

The only feeling I had since day one was that I was stock with them and that I made a terrible decision when I trusted Mr. Kantaras to handle my case.

My experience with this firm is so bad it affected even my health. So, according to my experience with Mr. Kantaras, my conclusions are:

If you want your case to be handle in a timely matter – This is not the law firm for you.

If you want to pay 3 or 4 times what you would pay to another lawyer – This is the firm for you.

If you want your case to be handle by a firm with the biggest internal RED TAPE – This is the firm for you.

If you want to feel that the lawyer is working for you – this is not the law firm for you.

If you want a lawyer to handle your case according to your needs – this is not the law firm for you.

If you want to be charged fees even when you call to get an update on your case (because they take so long to do anything) – this is the law firm for you.

I have to say that the only department in Mr. Kantara’s law firm that works is the BILLING DEPARTMENT, once you hire them and you pay your Retainer Fee, you will start getting weekly statements where you will see how that money vanishes, and in a matter of days your Retainer Fee will be gone, and you will start owing THOUSANDS in a matter of days.

I was wondering how this firm has a 3.5 out of 5 rating on Google, well, look closely, they only good reviews are for another lawyer, not Mr. Kantaras.

I hired one of the attorney's at Kantaras Law for a divorce case. She was okay as far as attorney's go. The receptionist there was probably the best person/experience there. Very helpful and friendly. However that is where the better experience ended. This law firm is the biggest rip off considering how law firms go. A fairly simple divorce case took a year. Did not serve my ex spouse or file until later to my surprise. I provided all of the documentation I had and could, but my ex got away with not providing all their documentation. All this time and money spent in documenting things on my end, and it all came down to giving my ex part of my 401k money, and half the house anyway. Mediation was a joke and fiasco! Why waste my time and money all this time just to come down to that? Of course they found some crazy way to rack up charges to the big retainer I had to put down, then on top of that pay them another $1,000 for nothing! Their accounting stinks for lack of a better term. Could not really show or justify a missing credit balance that I had. At the end of it all and all the money I gave to my ex and them, I still had to go to the court house twice and pay for the certified divorce decree and another form. Really? They couldn't even do that for me after all the money I gave them. Stay clear of this law firm or you'll get taken more than once. (I'm better off without them or my ex).
