Shepard Law Panama City Fl review signals at a glance

I have thought a lot about posting this review, but my experience with this law firm, specifically Elizabeth Peskin, was so extremely disappointing due to lack of preparation, poor communication, and significant clerical errors that I had to share my personal recent experience. A motion filed on my behalf contained basic mistakes that should never happen in a professional legal filing but the courtroom representation following it was the most disappointing part of the experience with Ms. Peskin. This law firm (Elizabeth Peskin) was retained for a circuit court motion filing and representation. I was not emailed, nor texted the motion to be reviewed before filing it with the clerks office on my behalf. I was not even informed of the filing by her or her staff. I happened to look at the clerk of courts website myself days after it had been filed to see the motion listed. The motion was incorrectly filed listing a total different name than mine as well as the fact that one of the case numbers included in the motion had already been fully resolved and should not have been part of the filing at all. This error itself appeared to create confusion before the court by introducing information that was not relevant to the matter being heard and negatively impacted how the motion was viewed. This error alone solidified a denial by the court. Communication from Ms. Peskin and her staff to me was very poor leading up to the hearing. I was instructed to attend court, which I did, yet Ms. Peskin did not consult with me before the hearing, did not speak with me during the hearing, and after the judge denied the motion, did not approach me to explain what happened. The only time any conversation was had that day was because I approached her myself outside of the courtroom as she was exiting the courthouse to ask what had just transpired. Despite being present in the courtroom as instructed, I was never called forward or included in any meaningful way regarding my own case. Additionally, Ms. Peskin appeared unprepared regarding the important facts surrounding both my case and the motion that was filed on my behalf. There was no clear demonstration during the hearing that the key details, background, or supporting information necessary to properly advocate for the motion had been adequately reviewed or presented. Based on this experience, it felt like my matter was treated as just another routine filing rather than something that deserved proper preparation and advocacy. Clients depend on their attorneys for preparation, accuracy, communication, and representation in court. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect those expectations. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to make sure they are getting clear communication and that their case is being handled with the level of diligence and preparation they deserve. I wasn’t and now truly regret my choice of representation.

The team at Shepard law is amazing! Elizabeth was truly a god send. She handled everything beautifully and quickly. She also listened to me when I had a few emotional breakdowns. Thank you Elizabeth, from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the great work!
