Dozier Miller Law Group

4.9(300)✓ Google-verified

Legal work here covers divorce, custody, and business disputes. Reviewers consistently name Adam Hocutt, Amanda Cubit, David, and Allison Holstein as attorneys who dig deep into case details and keep clients informed. Staff including paralegals Erica and Aneita draw frequent praise for responsiveness and kindness. The firm appears strongest when clients feel their interests are prioritized clearly from start to finish. However, a handful of reviewers report withdrawal mid-case, slow communication on immigration matters, and in one custody case, feeling pressured rather than heard. These exceptions stand out against the bulk of five-star experiences, though they suggest variability in how individual attorneys handle certain practice areas.

JMD - James, McElroy & Diehl, P.A.

4.4(51)✓ Google-verified

Strong litigation outcomes dominate feedback, with clients repeatedly praising John Paul Tsahakis and team members for compassion during contentious divorces and custody battles. Multiple reviewers credit the firm with winning difficult cases within tight timelines. Cost and billing practices divide opinion sharply: several clients report six-figure fees and prolonged engagement with minimal results, while others describe the rates as justified by outcomes.
