After my land was fraudulently sold, I retained Attorney Scott Beatty to resolve the matter. From the initial consultation to the end, Scott was upfront about the costs, communicated consistently and resolved this matter quickly. Although this wasn't a high dollar case, Scott treated me like I was his most important client. Prices were reasonable and Scott's efficiency saved me money in the long run. I highly recommend this firm, and if I ever need a SW Florida attorney again, Scott will be my first call.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Katie Kohn, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly quick with her responses and stayed on top of every aspect of my case.
Katie has a remarkable ability to make complex legal matters easy to understand, which was a tremendous relief during a particularly stressful time. She truly transformed what could have been a daunting and challenging case into one of the smoothest processes I could have ever imagined.
I must also give credit to Katie Kohn's exceptional staff, including the Resource Secretary, Nicola Patton. They were incredibly helpful and on top of things throughout the entire process, further enhancing the overall experience. Together, they make an outstanding legal team that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you all for your dedication and support!
I sincerely hope I won't need to seek legal assistance again, but if I do, Katie Kohn will undoubtedly be my first choice. Her professionalism, expertise, and commitment to her clients are unmatched. Thank you, Katie, for making a difficult situation much more manageable!

I have dealt with Attorney Anthony Cetrangelo throughout various consults. My wife and I have decided to use him for all of our probate/estate/will legal work. Anthony is responsive and professional and has a rare combination of compassion and competence in his field. He has been a pleasure to work with.
