Gary A Roberts & Associates

A lawyer's lawyer. Attorney Roberts have assisted me on a few occasions and he has always delivered more than I expected. He has an uncanny ability to get to the root of the issue and apply his extensive legal knowledge to maximize results in your favor. Strongly recommended!

Unfortunately i cannot report such an experience that others here report. I originally saw this office and its google rating and had high hopes to only be taken through a nightmare. I unfortunately was paired up with the "Associate" and not Gary Roberts -- perhaps that's where the issues lie. The attorney i was paired with was Tiffani Brown. After being assigned with this attorney i looked her up and saw that the area of my issue (HOA law) is basically her bread and butter. Having said that, this was far from the case as i had to constantly push her and Rebecca (whom was actually very nice the few times i talked to her on the phone). This issue with started with this attorney around the middle of July and is still not resolved to this day. I constantly had to call the office and ask about statuses and push them to act on things that were seemingly just sitting around. I had time-sensitive situations that Tiffani had no concern for. Another situation where i had requested for documents from HOA where after 10 business days i would be owed a minimum $50\day and she had no idea what i was talking about when i mentioned this, that this was even relevant to the situation, and when mentioned told me that she would essentially have to go look into it if it's even relevant or pertains to the situation -- it's cut and dry, and laid out in F.S 720 that if i request documents (meeting minutes) that i am owed those docs within 10 business days; it was going on 20! She had no urgency to push back on opposing counsel, AT ALL. I had to push her to do everything, feeding her Florida Statutes and Case Law all to no avail. I basically was doing all of the work, having to convince my own lawyer that is being paid by me, and also having to educate her on her own job, duty, and angles to approach. After finally having enough, i told her i would like to separate so that i can find another attorney that is actually going to advocate on my behalf and she sends me the most unprofessional separation\termination letter I've ever seen. it was essentially blaming me for everything and trying to make it seem as though my position is entirely unreasonable. Keep in mind, my position is that i am being denied the right to repair my driveway by my HOA's ARC committee for no reason what so ever but for unreasonable, seemingly retaliatory purposes. The HOA at the time was comprised of 3 people, it's since reduced from that due to this nonsense and the HOA president has gone to neighbor's within the community coercing them into signing paperwork to pass additional ARC requests despite not having actual ARC committee meetings or board quorum. I presume Gary is more professional and capable as i have not had the pleasure to work with him and reviews here seem to give praise, but Tiffani Brown is the one to avoid.

Gary is among my top favorites of all the attorneys I've worked with. He's smart and a hard worker -- yes. More important, he is honest and cares about the people he works with. I'd trust and rely on him to do the right thing.

As of June/ July 2020- So far, so good. I was recommended to him by a colleague. Others suggested that I go with a "well-known" law firm since their reputation is better ( tv commercials, reviews, more cases, etc). My experience so far: He's personable, responds to emails and questions that may arise in a timely manner. He seems genuine. However, I will provide an update as my personal injury case (rear-ended by a habitual drunk driver who attempted to flee the scene and was arrested/ bodily injury/ etc.) moves forward as i was advised that the details are in the insurance of both parties. I'm thankful for my life which is priceless and precious, but I pray that he is able to use his 25+ years of experience to reach the maximum compensation. ***I will provide an update which is why I rated 3 stars at this time.

What can I say except, very capable!!!
