  I've got attorneys in every aspect of my business life, having been an entrepreneur for the last 16 years. While I never "want" to spend money on attorneys, a great attorney is worth its weight in gold and I never cheap out on them for that reason. But when I pay for the best, I expect to work with the best and Beth Tener, in my opinion, is a "B" player who gave my family and I a "D" effort, but was quick to charge "A" rates, beginning with a $25k starting retainer. Initial Consultation: I asked that she review a summary of things before showing up and said they could charge me extra hours for the consultation to do so. Beth showed up, admitted she didn't review it, and then proceeded to ask me questions that were all answered in the overview. I would normally NEVER hire someone who failed me on day one, but because a close family friend said she was really good, I proceeded against my better judgement. In my experience, when attorneys are bad during the courting phase, they'll be even worse in the engagement; no different than most relationships. I fought hard to get my children and I into counseling and had to go through attorneys to make it happen, which Beth delivered on. Beth told me she felt the counselor recommended was one of the absolute best in Central Florida, so I invested $400/hour for 7 months for sessions for all three children (expensive). However, in my opinion it felt like the counselor had little experience dealing with cases of extreme parental alienation, which to me felt like a material miss. The counselor eventually came back, according to counsel, with professional conclusions majorly in our favor, which is what I wanted, so I could finally start getting my family and I "some" results. I'd take "anything" at this point in terms of positive outcomes. Of course, the second we got that news, Beth's team asked me to replenish my retainer, which I promptly did, and had few issues with that because I thought we were finally about to get some results. The straw that broke the camel's back (our final 60 days -- to me, felt like a complete cluster): On 9/20/25 I met one-on-one with Beth after the above news from the counselor, we discussed options, and she committed to having some work completed in a week -- drafting a letter instead of filing a motion. Then as I was replenishing my retainer I said I'd rather file the motion for contempt than write a letter; acknowledged by her staff in writing on 9/30 and 10/06. On 10/6, the paralegal even wrote back talking about "the timing of the motion". On 10/20, they admittedly delivered the wrong work and blamed it on a new staff member; producing the letter instead of the motion for contempt. We had a call, Beth apologized for the miss, and we concluded that her team would perform some calculations around the financial impact to me for one of the options being considered, before producing the motion. She said these calculations take "two and a half seconds to produce" and committed to delivering them in a week. The calculations ultimately never got delivered after weeks of excuses and commitments that they were coming. That felt like the SMALLEST-possible task and even THAT she couldn't deliver on. When they finally produced the motion, it was in my opinion, one of the most rushed and half-baked motions I've ever seen in my career. To double down on the embarrassment, I then requested records from the counselor, at Beth's request, and what was produced was not in line, at all, with what Beth had told me was the case, as I understood it. I fired Beth / GreenspoonMarder on November 22, 2025 after what I would personally describe as a nightmarish mixture of missed commitments and failures.

  Cannot provide records of collections, attorney paid himself directly when or if collecting causing injury to our community, and leaving us with over $315,000 of uncollected dues. Still can’t resolve due to Greenspoon Marder, not providing requested records

  Excellent billing with detailed itemized charges reaching exorbitant costs. Utterly unimpressed with their services. If anything, very impressed with the consistency through out the firm in this work ethos as I was referred to other partners in the firm. I will not recommend this firm at all

  Attorney Elizabeth “Beth” Tener is a true professional in her field. She goes above and beyond for her clients. As a mental health professional, I’ve had the opportunity to work with her on several cases. She is very intelligent and informed on the law. I’ve always been very impressed with her ability to “think outside the box” while providing strong representation for her clients. I highly recommend her.

  We have been trying to solve a ongoing issue with our Diamond Resort Fees being billed for that are not owed with Mr. Jackson of this law firm that represents diamond resorts but he has decided not to return emails or phone calls for the past three months. We called today to once more resolve the problem only to speak with a unbelievable rude and unprofessional so-called assistant, Sarah. She became angry and rude when we asked why calls and emails are not returned and her name and she hung up on us. We called back and received the same treatment again and same B.S of leave your name and number and someone will get back to you. No one ever calls you back and after this response we have no desire to call them back ever again. Will direct further contact to the executive offices of diamond resorts
