  I retained this attorney on 1/16/2026, for a limited-scope probate matter with the understanding that the engagement would involve approximately five hours of legal services. This review reflects my personal experience and opinions based on that representation. In my experience, there were serious issues with both the quality and timing of the work performed. I specifically requested documentation to support estate expenses so I could evaluate financial claims and prepare for a scheduled hearing. The materials that were provided appeared incomplete and lacked basic supporting documentation such as receipts or sufficient verification. More concerning, nearly all of the information was delivered at the last possible moment—on the afternoon before the hearing and again on the morning of the hearing—which, in my view, made meaningful review and preparation unrealistic. Communication was also a significant concern. Multiple requests for clarification and updates went unanswered, and there appeared to be a pattern of delayed responses and last-minute action on time-sensitive matters. From my perspective, this created unnecessary stress and uncertainty in an already serious legal proceeding. Following the engagement, I received a billing statement that, in my opinion, did not reasonably reflect the limited scope of the work performed. Based on my understanding, the billing included what appeared to be duplicative entries and charges for matters I believed were already covered by the initial fee based consultation. In my view, the overall billing did not align with the amount or substance of work I observed. As a result of these issues, I lost confidence in the representation and terminated the attorney-client relationship. This review is based solely on my personal experience and perspective. Others may have different experiences. That said, I would strongly caution prospective clients to clearly define expectations regarding documentation, responsiveness, and billing practices before entering into an agreement.

  My elderly father was in need of estate planning and the entire team at Akin Law, notably attorney Glory Maldonado took INCREDIBLE care of him. She was patient and knowledgeable and made the entire process as smooth as possible. Would highly recommend!

  I have had a couple of critical affairs that this firm and Sherille Atkins in particular have dedicated a great deal of effort above and beyond the typical professional standards I would expect. She had meticulously untangled the residuals of poorly executed documents and produced an impeccable model of thoroughness. This will be a life relationship and I am more protected as a results. As a Floridian myself I’m proud to call Mrs Atkins my attorney
