Verified ClientHired Law firm 2012-2026Great service at an affordable price. We had our trust, wills and other documents prepared by Affordable Attorneys 12 years ago and have updated them without any hiccups. We verbalize the required changes and they update "draft" documents that we review. If needed, they update the files again so that the final documents are as we requested them and legally correct. They are very well regarded in the legal community as well.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025-2026We needed to update our wills, Trust and related documents but kept putting it off, wondering who we should use. Dana Gerling came highly recommended by many neighbors in our new housing development in Lakewood Ranch so we decided to meet with her. I am a retired partner in a CPA firm so I have dealt closely with this area of legal expertise throughout my career. Dana is exceptional at providing these legal services and making sure that the clients understand what is being done and what they need to follow through with. I highly recommend Dana to anyone needing this service.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025Marla Owczarek is an outstanding Attorney. She came recommended by a neighbor and it was a smart move choosing her over the many competitors in the area. Not only is Marla known in the community but her office was spoken very highly of by Manatee county employees. This gave me assurance I picked the right attorney for the job. Marla is professional and has a keen eye to detail. She comes highly recommended and her pricing is really reasonable.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025Working with Marla was a pleasure as she made everything sooooo much easier when redoing our wills. The previous Law Firm (10+ years ago) in Sarasota had actually made some significant errors in our Wills which would've proved costly if Marla hadn't caught them. Highly recommend!...Leigh and Tony Bennett @ Lakewood Ranch.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
