I can't say enough about how incredible this law firm is!! Ms. Shazia Sparkman came highly recommended to me. This was the best decision I could have made. I was represented with not only an extremely high level of competence, but compassion as well. I was treated as a person, not just another case. My many questions were answered and never was I caught off guard in court. I can't thank Ms. Shazia Sparkman enough for being an absolute port in my storm!!
Thank you!!!!

Hands down the worst experience of my life. Absolutely no progression on my case and it was dragged out to a time period that far exceeded what it should have for reasons that are still unknown to me. I highly recommend googling before you hire.

This is an opinion based review on my personal experience. Take your time and do the research before you obtain counsel.

Very professional and extremely knowledgeable lawyer. Shazia is one of the few who is completely dedicated to protecting her clients and actually cares about their interests. She helped me on several
occasions and my experience and end results were nothing but great. One of the best professionals on the market.

Last month our family found ourselves in difficult situation when our son was facing charges. The Sparkman Law Firm provided an excellent services and we were very impressed with excellent knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to clear my son's name. Everyone in the firm we dealt with was professional and hardworking individual. All the advice that attorney Shazia Sparkman provided throughout the case was incredibly useful in dealing with policy, judge, court, etc... All our options were clearly explained to us. As the ordinary individual never being in trouble with the law, having somebody trustworthy, reliable with sincere interest in our case helped us stay sane. Shazia provided us with regular updates every step of the way.
Settlement was reached before court date due to diligent work of Shazia Sparkman and her assistant. Shazia was fully invested in the case and produced incredible outcome. She diligently worked with all parties involved and as a result the case was dismissed and we were able to restore our lives back to normal.
I could not have asked for a better law firm to represent us. I would highly recommend Sparkman Law Firm. Shazia Sparkman, we are forever grateful to you.

I am sorry for the untrue statements posted here about our firm. I am the assistant for Ms. Sparkman and I personally took this call from Lisette Bugeja, who has never been a client of our firm. I am hopeful those coming to our site will ignore the negative and false comments and make an informed decision after meeting with myself and experience first hand how hard we work for our clients.

Shazia Sparkman, the lead attorney at Sparkman Law is the lawyer to hire. She is smart, honest and passionate and above all cares personally for her clients and takes the time night or day. I recommend Sparkman Law and Shazia without reservation.

I would recommend Mrs. Sparkman to a parent who is seeking for the best interest of his child. She was available to hear me everyday and feel my pain. She represented me in the best possible way. I m together with my son due to her effort. My son and i will always remember Mrs Sparkman and pray for her and her family. Efficient, Affordable, very smart and honest.

All of these reviews are fake and supported through her peers which I'm sure is some sort of ethics violations as a lawyer. But, no need of complaining to the bar... They are just as useless! Do a little homework and come to your own conclusion.

I don’t know where to begin....so I’ll begin by saying I am incredibly grateful that Shazia Sparkman was my lawyer. From beginning to end, she made me feel confident that everything would work out. And it did. I tend to worry and overthink...and was reassured constantly to leave it to her and she would take care of everything. It’s incredibly difficult to “let go” and place your trust...and future...into someone else’s hands. But I’m glad I did. I’ve heard horror stories because, let’s face it, (after almost 25 years and having been a homeschooling mother of three boys), divorce is terrifying. It wasn’t with Shazia by my side. She worked hard and attained for me everything I needed/asked for that was within anyone’s control. Some things are governed by the laws and they are what they are. I can’t thank her enough. I am looking forward to a new life because of her hard work and dedication. If anyone needs an amazing lawyer who truly handles everything and takes the stress off of you, Shazia Sparkman is the lawyer you want. Her entire office staff is fantastic, too. Compassionate and caring, while being diligent, hard workers. Shazia and her staff were my Angels. True blessings!

I was lucky enough to be referred to Shazia and her staff from my brother who worked with her for four years and had a wonderful experience. I had a very contentious divorce and Shazia and her staff were very good with me repeating things when needed reiterating things when needed. It’s a most emotional time. And they know when to speak for you when to let you get things off your chest they made the best of probably the worst experience of my entire life I would highly recommend them to anybody that’s looking for A compassionate divorce firm

My name is Tanya McVeigh. I was at the end of my divorce case in Dec 2018, working with a prior attorney who was robbing me blind, as well as working with opposing council to Railroad me into settling for basically pennies. He never filed one motion for me in 9 months and allowed the opposing council to have the courts to think I wasn’t complying with discovery requests. I was scared, angry and knew I was in trouble. I said a prayer and opened the computer looking for my last second warrior to fight a battle the other side thought they had already won. Shazia stepped into a chaotic tangled nitemare of not only a divorce case, but one involving my rights as a co owner of our marital business being challenged. I was not only fighting a bipolar sociopath husband, but his equally underhanded attorney, and Shazia has fought battles with me the other side never expected. It’s not over, we are still in the fight, but at least now it is a fight. I have a warrior going to battle, and we are being heard in the courts. She will even contact me into the late night hour to check on me, and answer my questions. Her staff Ivett and Yosi have always been professional, courteous and have even given hugs when I needed. In the end of a divorce by trial, I t’s the judges call, and no one can predict what he or she will rule. At least now I know that my judge will hear All the facts of my case to be able to hopefully make a fair and just ruling, because of Shazia making sure I have a voice in my divorce.

My experience with Sparkman law was exceptional. Shazia Sparkman made an emotional and overwhelming process easy with her knowledge, intelligence, professionalism, and compassion. She and her staff were reliable and always accessible. I highly recommend this firm.

Sparkman Law has proven to me an astute grasp of the law in complex situations. They have a constant willingness of answering my over abundance of questions. That personal attention given by both the staff and Shazia Sparkman is so different . Shazia is very knowledgeable, personable and aggressive. I would highly recommend Shazia to represent anyone in the fight for justice and legal protection. -stef

I felt I should post my knowledge and experience with Sparkman Law due to the few inflammatory reviews left here. While I don’t know those people who posted, I do know that my experience is and has been nothing but phenomenal with Sparkman Law, the assistant Ivett Macles and lead attorney Shazia Sparkman. I have not come across a team that is so dedicated, passionate and smart in the most trying and emotionally exhausting of situations. They are not like other lawyers. They are honest and fight hard to protect you.

Arrogant, rude, manipulative and deceptive to put it mildly. Should have looked at the yelp and researched her on the Florida Bar. She had multiple complaints. Do your research first wished I did!! To many problems here to discuss just do yourself a favor and pass this one over you will be happier!! Just saw the review below me true, true, true...Sent my complaint to the bar this morning see what happens.

The absolute most competent and powerful law firm in Tampa for family and divorce. Mrs. Shazia Sparkman is a powerful force in the court room. Not to be denied

The reason my husband and I were instantly ready to change from our previous Attorney to Sparkman Law Firm was because of Shazia. Her overall affect is what my case needed. My first impression of Shazia was she warm, open, honest, caring, very intelligent, commanding, tenacious and professionally eloquent. She IS "that" person. It was not an act. I believed she believed in my case- and still does. Her poise, encompassing but not limited to previous named qualities, has been invaluable to my particular situation. I need a strong attorney in every way in front of the Court. Shazia reads people. She is discreetly attentive. She listens and hears what is said, but more importantly what is not said. She, like me, has a photographic and auditory memory. She effectively multi-tasks. My personal situation has been in litigation for 7 years now. The first 5 years with other counsel provided no results. After finding Shazia 2 years ago, my case is finally moving in a positive direction. I wish I would have found her in the beginning!

A personal representative in every sense of that phrase, Ms. Sparkman conducted me through every step of this process with grace and confidence. I could not have done this without her and will be forever grateful to her and her firm. -Andrea S.

Not good. Ms Sparkman won the case for me but it was a bad experience. I had 4 scheduled meetings with her and 3 of those she did not show up. I was promised a monthly statement listing me attorney fees and was not presented a single one in the 1 year that I had dealing with this law firm. After my case was won, Ms Sparkman was to follow up in filing a quick claim deed. Its been one month since the ruling and her office appears to be too busy to file the deed.

I hired Shazia almost a year ago to assist with child support modification and the restructure of visitation for my daughter. I was very reluctant to hire legal council. My ex-husband and I have been divorced over ten years and times have changed. My daughters needs have increased and her father refused to help. Shazia and her staff instantly made me feel at home and comfortable. I had issues midway paying for my legal fees and instead of Shazia letting me go on my own, she refused to stop fighting for us and has continued helping me on her own funds. I have never in my life heard of any family law attorney being so compassionate. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal help in custody or child support issues.Thank you very much to Shazia at Sparkman and Sparkman and her amazing staff!!!

Sparkman and Sparkman Law firm has been of great help through my divorce these past few months. I hired her after a year of me trying to do everything on my own. She picked right up where I was lost and was up front with me about how much I would need to pay and told me straight up what type of case I was up against. She helped me negotiate an awesome deal with my ex husband regarding child sharing so I wouldn't have to go through a lengthy trial. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the law. She is also knowledgeable about Islamic marriages and Islamic contracts, which is what I needed to be deciphered. She was also very helpful with knowing information regarding divorce and the military. Shazia Sparkman and Erin Slattery did an excellent job with helping me through one of the most difficult times of my life! She is a fighter and she will insure that you have a just outcome of your case. I recommend her and her team with all of my heart.

Mrs. Sparkman has seen me through what has had to be the most difficult time in my life. Her consultation with me was both a question & answer for me but also helped her decide if she was willing and or able to take on my case, and what it would entail. Very unlike what I experienced at other consults.
She is upfront about what kind of time and fees you are looking at, given FL's current court system. Her command and knowledge of the law and dedication to my case and the ongoing questions regarding it are unsurpassed. She and her staff are always extremely quick to respond to any questions I have had and keep me very well informed on things the layperson may not understand.
My case had to do with an ex husband hiding monies to prevent him from paying support and or alimony. Shazia knew exactly what kind of team to assemble, i.e. experts, to put on the case, and find the proof needed. Mrs. Sparkman and her husband Kevin make an invaluable team, Kevin's absolute command of the law, make any questions that come up during important hearings, easily answered via text or email, as I've watched the two of them in action. and their staff has also been instrumental in making sure to communicate and coordinate any information I may need, or questions I may have. So I am never wondering what is going on with my case.
I might add from reading other reviews, that anyone dealing with Florida's Legal system, try not to expect miracles simply by paying a retainer. You get out of your case what you put into it. If you don't help supply Mrs. Sparkman with information to work with, or any lawyer for that matter, it is doubtful you will have a successful case, or any matter you pursue. It does take some participation on the client's side, to keep any attorney informed so that they can pursue the case in the right manner for you.
I came upon Mrs. Sparkman while looking for a new attorney, and was referred to her by another lawyer I had called about my case, she had lost to Mrs. Sparkman in court, but had the respect for her to refer me to her. I feel truly blessed to have Shazia representing me in court. I don't think I could have found a more capable dedicated attorney anywhere.

My experience with Sparkman and Sparkman was horrible and I will be filling a complaint to the Bar!!! I went to Sparkman desperate for help as a single mother. Mrs. Sparkman took on my case stating that she was giving me a deal "helping me out" She promised to work on my case, trying for things that I thought to be impossible but she felt was possible. I put my hope in her as well as $7,500 for something later I found out that was not at all a deal. 4 months after I gave her the money I still had not heard a word on what she had done to my case. I tried calling multiple times, no return call. I'd email and she would reply that she was still working on it. After months of waiting and not seeing any results of her "work" I decided to go with someone else finding out that she took full advantage of me and did nothing on my case. When I asked for my money back she said she would be fair and give me some of my money back....I got a check for $120!!!!! I am also finding out that I am not the only one. Thanks Sparkman & Sparkman.

To Shazia who is saying I am trying to extort money and saying untrue things about the company.... I hired you as of 6/21/12 and let you go as of 8/2/12 you charged me $7,380 for a bunch of emails. Nothing was ever done on my case and your billing statment shows that for itself. You never filed anything with the court, never returned phone calls, and never kept me informed on what you were doing (or not doing on my case). I have filed a complaint with the bar and we will wait and see what happens until then I hope no one makes the same mistake as me by hiring you.

My experience with "Sparkman & Sparkman" was excellent. Mrs. Sparkman, and her staff were excellent, and easy to talk too. Through the entire process I felt confident the information I received was truthful and honest. As a result my case came to an extremely successful conclusion. If you are seeking good customer service, and stellar business acumen I recommend "Sparkman & Sparkman".

When I first Met Mr.and Mrs.Sparkman they were very nice and professional and stayed right to the point of knowing what I wanted to get out of my divorce. Mrs.Sparkman was mostly on my case and she was the perfect fit for getting things done and knew exactly what she was doing when we did go to court, what a great Lawyer!!!! A very detailed law firm with a great sense of that they know they have it handled with the most extreme care, I was always confident that the job at hand would be done!
