Once you had a bad experience you should run. I hired Smith Feddeler& Smith in hopes that they would be a help but unfortunately that wasn't what happened. I had 1 guy Josh Nelson and his paralegal whom i refused to say her name was horrible and rude and disrespectful. I had received some paperwork from the office and i went to get help with understanding the paperwork i called Josh 8 times that day and couldn't get him and i dont recall if i called the 9th or the paralegal called the 9th time but when we did talk. Man it was the worse she called me names and told me my calls werent important enough that i had to call 8 times. Unfortunately she didn't know that there was someone next to me who overheard the whole conversation and said some things to her to make her calm down ill be surprised if she still has a job there with the disrespect she did. So i ended up terminating my contact and i left a bad review however i get a call from Brad Smith trying to save the day. He asked me to remove the review and he will work with me after trying to hire other legal aide I should have took the lien and took the loss however i decided to give them a try. Biggest MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I wrote a bad review and to think they would try to help me I was a fool it took 2 years and 10 months to settle a case i lost one and won one. Brad had a doctor's who couldn't even give proper testimony or notes about my case he didnt even remember the case When they asked him about my injury in court he just told them anything and on a scale chart he didn't have an updated chart with mine he read them something from 95 or 96 and we're in 2025 so i don't think they were trying to help at all. And then when it came to trial Brad arguments was poor he keep bringing up my educational background and the fact that i feel nothing else to support his arguments or help i mean it was pitiful. He also cancelled 2 court dates and he showed up to court 1 time i delt with more other attorney's or whomever they were then he did. And the one case we settled he got more money than I did witch i didn't think was fair. So if you do get a chance to read this please run fast from this firm. Despite all of that im still in pain from my injuries from the neck to my lower back and feel pain tin my legs from time to time and have been coming out of pocket losing money when they were supposed to help.

I hired Carl Feddeler after I was hit in my back with a chair by a student. I was told by Feddeler zi was NOT going gto get any money. I filed papers with the court. The opposing attorney helped me get some money and I still had to pay Feddeler. Now, three years later, I am suffering from back problems. I have pain in my hip and legs. I am scheduled for surgery. Feddeler gets a zero star.

Grossly misrepresented: If you’re looking for an attorney that will not let you speak for yourself, twists others’ words and uses them against you and allows the opposing party to use lies to build a case against you, this is your guy. Never have I been more embarrassed and ashamed to be involved in a situation where my full faith and trust was in someone that absolutely did NOT have my best interests in mind.

Everything seemed OK and legit at first, but horrors ensued as I was lied to and swindled at settlement time. They refused to make things right when I gave them the opportunity to do so. Now, I must hire another attorney to sue Mr. Smith for malpractice or bad business practices and breach of contract, and report him to the Florida Bar for what he did to me. I will not let this go. They are smooth as silk on the outside but without true integrity in my opinion.

I used they're services several years ago when I worked for a large retailer in Lkld, a workmans comp issue and was dissatisfied with them. Fired them although I still had to pay them... sent them loads of business back then but no longer. Felt compromised after catching and over hearing a conversation between my attorney and the opposing attorney in the rest room. Then they refused to share my personal info with my replacement representation. Not happy with them at all... but they got paid anyway!
