Kaitlyn was very responsive from the first day I reached out to her assistant needing representation. I live out of state. I was in Florida on vacation and had an unfortunate legal matter I needed a lawyer for. Kaitlyn made me feel comfortable and cared for. She was patient with me even when my anxiety got the best of me. Most importantly she was instrumental in a positive outcome for my case. Very thankful and happy!!

Kaitlyn was very responsive to all of my communications. She always got back to me quickly. She was caring and compassionate and did an excellent job of representing our son with the final outcome being even less that we anticipated. I'm so glad we had her in our court.

Although an Attorney myself, I had occasion to engage the services of an Attorney with full knowledge of Florida State Law and Procedures. Kaitlyn was highly recommended to me by a colleague, and I couldn’t be more satisfied that she was. She was immediately available to answer any questions or concerns. She handled this matter in a most efficient and professional manner. I have no reservations about recommending Kaitlyn should you have need for an excellent, understanding, and personable Attorney to assist and represent you.

She was amazing! Got pulled over January 23rd and got an letter for an agreement on settlement by November 3rd. During this time I was at peace as she had everything handled. Got my case reduced to reckless driving! Very good communication and gives great advice! Thank you Ms. Kaitlyn for everything! I would definitely recommend her.

I used Mrs. Statile in mid 2020, I've wrote a review for her elsewhere but figured this was a good place as well. I never even had to go court, only law firm where it doesn't make you feel like a burden, or pressured. Heck I didn't have to court whatsoever with Mrs. Statile representing to me. She got a sweetheart plea deal for me that included early automatic termination. It was too easy almost... The Law office is mesmerizing. Huge wooden doors, expensive and luxurious meeting room and most importantly no stress. Highly reccomend thus lawyer, I mean she even let me just text here to communicate and responds within minutes. Don't hesitate, even the price of retainer for the case was SIGNIFICANTLY less than first expected and I think basically as cheap as it gets for competent representation.

I can not say enough nice things about Kaitlyn Statile. I called her office after my son was arrested. She returned my called on a Sunday and set up a consult for the following day. She was very professional, understanding and supportive of our situation. She was able to achieve the best outcome, charges were dismissed! I will never be able to thank her enough. Another outcome could have severely affected my sons future. We are now working to get his record expunged and put this whole mess behind us .

If you find yourself in need of a DUI lawyer, don’t waste another minute, time is of the essence. Get on over to Carlson Meissner Hart and Hayslett and hook up with Kaitlyn Statile. From the get-go you will know you made the right decision. I was 75 years old at the time of my arrest, had a near perfect driving record, a veteran, living a great life and did not want the stigma of a DUI. Kaitlyn told me right up front getting reckless would not be easy, but doable. Because of delays caused by Covid, my case took nearly 2 years to resolve. Throughout, I never went to court, I did no go one minute without my license, I was allowed to travel to my summer home for 4 months, and only 30 days with bracelet and probation at the end. Kaitlyn Statile is the real deal, she returns your texts, e mails and phone calls. She was never AWOL. The “firm” is a powerhouse and well respected. You will enjoy working with Kaitlyn.
