What recent reviews say

Strong counsel on real estate matters with attorneys who prioritize client interests and explain complex issues clearly. Two negative reviews cite staff rudeness and a $300 consultation fee, though most reviewers praise responsiveness and ethical guidance.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

The Dellutri Law Group, PA

4.9(864)✓ Google-verified

Over 25 recent reviews show clients consistently praising the firm's attorneys and paralegals for deep knowledge, prompt communication, and genuine care through complex filings. Named staff members like Carmen Dellutri, Lauren, Socorro, Tamsen, and the Fedorczyk team earned specific praise for patience, clarity, and responsiveness that made stressful processes manageable. The firm handles bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and 13), foreclosure defense, debt collection disputes, estate planning, and real estate matters across Florida. A handful of clients noted the firm declined their case, though those who received free consultations valued the honest guidance regardless of whether the firm could help. Long service history (since 1998) and a 4.9 average from 864 reviews show consistent trust among diverse clientele.
