The legal representative I hoped to never need! You would expect your legal representative to be knowledgeable about legal issues. But what I found most refreshing is everything came from a place of providing genuine help and guidance. No question who I'll pick to work with me in the future!

I couldn't ask for a better attorney going through my divorce. He is very professional and made the entire process as simple as possible. He always responded in a timely manner, and any questions I had throughout the process he never hesitated to answer. I would recommend Anthony to anyone going through the same situation. From when I contacted him in October 2018, he got everything taken care of and the divorce finalized by December 2018.

Anthony Franco is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney and as importantly, a very kind person to talk to. He takes the time to listen to your situation and ask questions to ensure he has a complete understanding of where you’ve been and what your next steps are. His experience allows him to provide the direction needed and he has the resources backing him to get answers to support your case. I highly recommend Anthony! Divorce is horrible enough, it’s nice to have someone like Anthony on your side.

Mr. Franco is the lawyer you need to hire, the man is a walking book. He was curtious and was very knowledgeable. After reaching out to many Mr. Franco was kind enough to lend an ear and orient me into the right direction. If there were 6 stars Mr.Franco would deserve them all. Call him, what are you waiting for !

Anthony was recommended to me and it was the best recommendation ever. I was in a bad situation and he did everything he could to make the situation better fast as possible. He even drove an hour to meet me to discuss things and helped/ explained everything to me that I did not understand. He always responded in a timely manner. I highly recommend him. He is the best ever and will do everything in his power to get what you're wanting in your divorce!

I contacted Anthony on April 6, 2018. I was legally divorced May 14, 2018!!! I can NOT thank Anthony enough for making a VERY PAINFUL time in my life a lot easier. He worked with me and my ex husband to make sure I NEVER had to see him or contact him again. He spoke with me and gave me wonderful advice, making me laugh through the pain. Some people want to fight and drag on the process, but I just needed it to be over and done with so I can start my new life. And Anthony made this happen. Everyone will tell you it takes months or even years. But with Anthony Franco, IT CAN BE DONE!!! I would recommend his law firm to any woman or man who is simply looking to be free of the emotional prison of the divorce process.

Anthony took the time to explain things to me in great detail and gave me a better understanding of how things should work in my divorce case. With it being out of state there are limited things he can help with, but he was very informative with what he was able to help me with and I feel that he has given me the best guidance that I have received to date. I highly recommend him.

Thank you Anthony for handling a family law case for my husband and I. We had been dealing with this for years. It was such a blessing when my husband found you. Even though you didn’t live in the city, you remained committed and your communication was consistent and professional. Thank you for your honesty and for having a heart to help people. I encourage anyone who may be looking for a family law attorney to look no further. ❤️❤️❤️

So after a long process I have to issue a major thank you to Anthony Franco. I had to go through the courts to get rights, proper influence and child support issues addressed as it relates to my oldest son. That process finally came to its conclusion on yesterday and Anthony saw me through it like a champion. Even with some of the unnecessary challenges that presented themselves, he was always thorough, in communication, reasonable and fair. i recommend that any men or women that could use these types of services, CONTACT HIM ASAP. He is the real deal.

Anthony did an awesome job successfully convincing Hillsborough County court to rule 50-50 Legal and physical custody For me and my two-year-old son! This was a big win as I am in unwed father, and the mother is a very good mother re: education, career, responsibility. He ultimately used her vindictive, shortsighted behavior to swing the pendulum in my favor. Far in my favor.

I have to pay $100/month to mom for health insurance, and $20/month to mom toward $14K in Back child support (b/c she only allowed me 10 visits in 2019). Total, $124/month to mom. 182.5 days/yr for dad, and 182.5 days/yr for mom.

There were A lot of twists and turns throughout the six months leading up to trial and he still managed to Execute At an Impressively high level.

A different attorney handled my case from mid 2018 up to mid 2019. Anthony came on board late in the game. I passed Him the baton as an anchor runner On a team currently in last place, in a relay race currently on it’s last lap. He pulled ahead to win. It wasn’t even close in the end. His strategy was super innovative! It was crazy innovative. And he is a really quick thinker at trial.

Because I was not married to the mother, when the relationship dissolved, she pretty much completely cut timesharing off and would not allow me to attend any daycare functions or doctors appointments. The state gives women the right to do this to Fathers unchecked Until a court Rules otherwise.

I admit that he worried the hell out of me when he didn’t return my calls or written communications for extremely long stretches of time. I got concerned that he lost interest in my case and was not going to see it through even though I paid the whole price that he asked for. I think he focuses on whatever is in front of him like a laser beam and blocks out everything else.

Then he reappeared...Like a phoenix rising from the ash...surrounded with fire and fury. Guns blazing! He Definitely surprised me with how well he had dug into The case. He had developed a strategy for Me to follow during the months leading up to the custody/timesharing trial. It was a very different than the one I had been implementing before hiring him.

When it is Time for him to focus on your case he focuses on it like a laser beam and blocks out everything else. He becomes super accessible And super engaged.

One thing I learned is that his decision to respond to my inquiries was often based on how serious of a situation I was calling or texting about.

As a parent in a fight with the other parent, sometimes one might think certain situations require engaging the attorney when really there is a little benefit to doing so. It was these times that he would not respond to me. Whenever it was critical, he would always reply LOL. So if he doesn’t call you back, assume that the matter is not critical to the outcome you want in your case.

I commend him for being able to coach me out of The mindset that would have definitely worked against me at trial, and into one that helped me achieve the desired outcome. He literally gave me a prescription to follow To best position myself for 50-50. I followed it. I got 50-50.

Job well done!!! Highly recommended for fathers rights! Especially unwed fathers, as it is infamously hard for us To get 50-50 in court.

Anthony is the best lawyer I could have ever wished for! He took care of my divorce and I was able to leave the state, knowing I was in good hands. He is extremely knowledgeable and most of all he is very personable and caring. When emotions run high, it’s so important to choose an excellent lawyer, who will bring you peace of mind and will be there for you from the beginning to the end. I was able to contact him directly at all times and never had to deal with anybody else and I really liked that. He not only cares about his clients, he also has a wonderful sense of humor; if I hadn’t chosen him as a lawyer, I would have chosen him as a friend!
I certainly feel very lucky and grateful to have had him as my lawyer and I will never forget how he was always there to give me great advice and confidence.

Anthony Franco did an amazing job handling my divorce and custody case. I happen to find him randomly and know that i would have not had this case move along the way it did with another lawyer. My ex husband would not get a lawyer so he was also helpful in helping me navagate around that stress. In a divorce and custody case your goal should be to have a fair outcome and i think my case is a prime example of that. Mr Franco makes himself as flexable and available as possible to put you as his client at ease. I have friend that is also using Mr Franco for their case and they are also highly satisfied with how things are being handled. Thank you

Divorce is a messy business and unfortunately we are not educated on the proper way to dissolve a marriage. Father's must understand they must consult with an attornery or risk a mistake that can last a lifetime. Please call Anthony if you are thinking about divorce and get educated.
