Excellent Law Firm! Excellent communication and efficiency, Roger Futerman really knows how to treat his clients. He handled my case well and got me the best possible results. He was very patient and informative to talk to throughout my suit, he was also helpful and so very pleasant and was always available to speak to me! He made this process so much easier and never felt like I was in the dark with him on my side! Thanks so much to everyone involved!

I was charged with DUI. Although the case against me was weak and circumstantial all other attorneys I consulted were talking about entering a plea. Roger said straight away that I have a case. Having been through a trial I knew I had no worries. Result was a no lo pros.

I had an attorney already who was telling me there was nothing she could do but get me county time. I went to Roger the day before court and hired him to keep me from being incarcerated. He did exactly as he said he would do and kept me out of jail. Truly a blessing and if I am ever in need again he will be the first stop I make. He will do what he says and will not lead you on. He listens and is easy to reach and will not leave you dumbfound or make you feel as if your questions are stupid. Thanks again Roger your amazing!!!

Roger is one of the best attorneys I have encountered. Honest, tells you what to expect and knows the law. He is a straight shooter who will RETURN your calls, know your case and represent you the best way possible. I am sure there are other great attorneys out there, I know there are a lot of horrible attorneys, I can assure you (since I have experienced a bad attorney) you do not want to take a chance. Roger is top notch and works with integrity.

I got a 3rd conviction DUI earlier this year. Because it was a 3rd conviction, it was considered a FELONY. Roger and his team worked on my case for about 8 months and got my charged reduced to a reckless. I just graduated college, so this charge would have ruined my chances of pursuing my career. Words cannot explain how happy I am with the service I received from this law firm. They were courteous, diligent, and professional. Thanks again Roger!

Anyone who I have ever mentioned this man to has said the same thing... He is a beast. I have retained Futerman twice, as well as knowing many other people who have had Futerman represent them in their cases and have never been disappointed. Both times I had retained Futerman were for my significant other who has a complicated case that has been haunting him for 10+ years. The first time, although he told me not to get my hopes up and expect a release, is exactly what his delivered. This last time... Was the scariest thing I ever experienced in my life. In a nutshell, the state of Florida wanted to take my significant other away for a long time. The ending of my story is that Futerman had him released THAT day and I get to wake up next to my significant other every morning. I would recommend him to anyone looking for criminal defense representation. Cheap work isn't good... And good work isn't cheap. Futerman may cost a pretty penny, but each and every cent is worth the results he produces.

Mr. Futerman treats people with courtesy and respect, and in my conversations with him got all of the information I needed to make an informed decision. If I, or anyone I know needed criminal representation, he would be my first call.

This man is fantastic, for lack of a better word. I was in some SERIOUS trouble back approx 2 years ago. According to the judge at my sentencing, i was facing 15 years max for my offense. Mr. Futerman resolved my case with the best possible outcome of a withhold of adjudication & probation. Thanks to him, i have my life back on track with a wonderful job. If you're facing issues, keep in mind. Good work isn't cheap, and Cheap work isn't good. He's personable, kind, and takes every case as serious if it were a capital offense even if it's a minor misdemeanor. I pray i'll never need his help again, but I won't hesitate to retain him again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU ROGER! -RP
