Rita and George are the best attorneys in Lee County...

We retained the services of Powell, Jackman, Stevens & Ricciardi to assist us in a landlord-tenant issue. Rita and Tammy were very courteous, stayed on top of things, and able to get us to a resolution that we wanted to achieve. I am not local to the area and Tammy and Rita went above and beyond in helping to assist and coordinate things in terms of getting me in contact with the right people and in helping to smooth the transaction along. We would definitely utilize their services again (if needed in future) and would recommend them to others we know.

Where do I begin....I got plowed from the rear end.I reached out to about three attorneys and decided to work with Rita Jackman and I don’t think I could have made a better choice. Her passion and knowledge shined thru during the entire process. I felt like I was in the right hands which took a huge load off and allowed me to focus on getting better while she focused on getting me the best settlement for my case. Rita and her team were relentless and the opposing party tendered the full policy. Thank you Rita for being such an honest, hardworking, and stand up attorney.

I am a paralegal myself but hired this firm to handle my Mother in laws estate because I work in NY and needed a Florida attorney for probate. I am so happy I choose this firm they were very efficient, provided a very quick turn around through the Florida courts and had low fees. Thank you Richard Ricciardi, Esq. and his assistant Beth you both were a pleasure to work with!

Fast, reliable,professional. Made me feel super comfortable and my divorce went smoothly.

Fast, competent, thorough quiet title process! They kept me updated with each step and were always quick to answer any question. I highly recommend them!

My brother and I live out of state. Our mother passed away, and we had no idea of what to do next. Got online... called a few attorneys in Cape Coral but still didn't really know who to trust or what to do.

Long story short... didn't find Richard and Beth until Mullins Funeral Home (Shannon - who is great BTW) suggested Richard as an option. Met w/ Richard that same day. In and out in 20 minutes - a plan was put in motion and the cost was a lot less than others were quoting over the phone. And he setup my brother and me so there wouldn't be issues down the road. I an so thankful there are firms like this one.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Laser Focused on the Legal Issue. Extremely responsive to any client question or concern. Anticipated client needs.
Perfect in all ways.

I am from Iowa and needed help evicting a tenant from my condo in Bonita Springs. I contacted Rita Jackman not knowing anything about her or her firm. After a brief consultation with her I knew I had found the attorney that would represent me. I called many times with questions and always got my answers immediately responded to by Ms. Jackman and her paralegal. Within a month, my tenant was legally evicted and with the help of Tammy, Ms Jackman’s paralegal, she met the sheriff the day of the eviction at my condo to represent me so I would not have to be there in person. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the individual and genuine concern they provided me with. They are an amazing legal team. Pat Smith

Needing to hire a legal counselor can be extremely stressful, but Rita Jackman made the entire process seem effortless.

Adam and Tammy are a good team. They get the job done, even on short notice. Try them I believe you will be happy!

I was in a serious car accident in 2017. I reached out to Rita right away and she was eager to take on my case. Rita as well as Noelle, worked with me hand in hand to make sure I was getting the proper care needed along with paying attention to all legal details. As we recently settled, I couldn’t be any more thankful with the outcome and for making such a good choice on choosing them to defend me. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I highly recommend Rita Jackman for car accident matters. Friendly and efficient service. Her staff Noelle was overly communicative and kept me informed on everything. Very stressful time but I could not have picked a better firm. Overly happy with the results. I would never pick a firm like Morgan and Morgan. This firm cares and will fight for you.

I highly recommend seeking representation from Rita Jackman. Throughout my entire case, she remained highly proactive, handled all of the next steps, and remained in communication with me.

I will be forever thankful for the representation and advocate that Rita was for me. You will not go wrong with her representation.

Gregory Ream provided me with a professional service regarding a real estate sale. The transaction was complex and required skillful negotiating from Mr. Ream. Over a period of several months, he found a solution to each obstacle ending in a successful real estate closing.

We picked 3 law firms out of the phone book and called each one as we needed an attorney to handle a probate. After speaking with each we decided on this law firm.. WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
It was so easy to communicate either via email and or voice mail. We were kept up to date during the process in a timely manner. Thought the fee was very reasonable. Would personally like to put in a good word for Beth Mikovits, THANK YOU for everything you did for us and the ease you made of this process.
Would use this firm if I ever needed the help of an attorney again. Thanks again.

I recently needed legal assistance after my brother passed away in his home in the Cape Coral, Florida area.I was his only relative and I reside in Michigan. Fortunately, I was given the name of Powell, Jackman, Stevens & Ricciardi, P.A. I dealt with attorney Ricciardi and his paralegal Beth Mikovits. They guided me through many legal situations with care, empathy and professionalism. I am thankful for them everyday as I could not have gotten through these legal situations without their guidance. I would highly recommend their firm for anyone who needs legal guidance.

My husband and I had an unexpected situation arise where we needed legal representation immediately. We called the office and were able to speak with Gregory Ream without hesitation. He quickly handled our situation and made us feel confident in capable hands. We cannot thank him enough for his professionalism and knowledgeable services. We highly reccomend him to anyone. Thank you again Greg for all you did.

What a pleasure it was working With Tammy, and Greg during a difficult situation for my wife and myself. Tammy was spot on with the process of eviction and how it should unfold.
Gregg was also very professional and returned our call promptly.
If you are a landlord needing professional representation regarding a tenant not paying rent, and need to file the necessary documents, do not hesitate to contact them. GREAT JOB TEAM !! Thanks.

Excellent and professional law firm! Richard helped me out so much and I couldn’t be more grateful!!

I highly recommend this law firm. I contacted them because I was looking for help for a friend. Although the lawyers were not able to help him, the law firm was helpful. Francy the receptionist was very helpful. She is very nice and tries to do all that she can to help you. She helped my friend by giving him several references.

Attorney Santana and his assistant Sofia were great to work with. They answered all of my questions and were with me every step of the way.

I was involved in a terrible motor vehicle accident in June of last year. Rita Jackman went over the top to ensure every aspect of my case was handled. Without reservation I give this firm and Ms. Jackman 5 star recommendation.

Professional, knowledgeable, made me feel at easy as with dealt with the issues at hand. Very, Very happy with the outcome!!!

I highly recommend Jorge Santana best lawyer.

After a motorcycle accident I was referred to Atty Jackman by my attorney Mr Ricciardi.

As I began the process I had many questions. Atty Jackman took the time to meet with my wife and I to address those questions/issues and was very thorough in her responses.

As these things progressed, she offered advice which I took and which led to a very favorable outcome.

I would highly recommend Atty Jackman to anyone who has been involved in an accident.

I had a great experience with Rita Jackman. She helped me in my case and won. She is tenacious and will not let you down. I refer everyone who needs help to Rita.

What An Awesome Law Firm...I highly recommened Rita Jackman, she was my lawyer in a motor vehicle accident and was more then top notch. She went out of her way weekly to make sure I was updated about my case and how I was doing. She went above and beyond the call of duty and was a pleasure to work with. If you need a good lawyer for car accidents of any type I would absolutely recommend her and her team.

When our father passed we were overcome with emotion. The idea of going through probate was daunting to say the least. Mr. Ricciardi, and Mrs. Mikovits made the process simple and took away alot if the stress. This lawfirm works hard for their clients and truly care about what is best for them. Im so happy we found this firm and reccomend them to anyone needing legal advice.

Top notch lawyers! I highly recommend Attorney Gregory Ream and Attorney Adam Stevens. I needed to refer a client of mine to them for a real estate matter. Both attorneys sat with my client and I for over an hour to explain the entire process and put my client’s mind at ease. As an attorney, I can tell you that is very rare. I highly recommend them!!!!

I used this firm for an eviction. They were very helpful in accomplishing the task at hand. They let me know the current status and the next steps as we went through the process. When time for court came, Gregory Ream, my attorney, was prepared and convincing, we won. Good friendly knowledgeable folks to work with.

I live in California and needed to have a Florida Probate issue resolved, in my research I discovered I could not do myself. I contacted one Attorney in the Ft Myers, FL area and was quoted a fee of $500 for Court filing and $2000 for his time. After more research of Attorneys in the area I discovered this firm, seeing Your Advocates in the information online gave me the belief that they were there to be the voice for the client. My initial conversation with Mr. Ricciardi was impressive, I appreciated his honesty and professionalism and most importantly that what he quoted me for services was the actual Court filing fee for the matter as well as he wasn't inflating the bill for his time. From there the Paralegal, Beth took over and I can't say enough good things about her. She communicated with me as necessary, offered a suggestion when needed, requested necessary information, and kept me aware of progress once paperwork was filed thus insuring that matter was resolved in a timely manner with no errors or delays. I would without hesitation recommend this office if assistance is needed in a Probate matter particularly when being handled from a great distance away.

Untrustworthy unprofessional liar Riccardi
On Friday June 08 2017 I started receiving phone calls at approximately 9am. 2 were from Sandcastle Title followed by 3 from the from your client informing me that you went and saw her and basically indicated to me over the phone of the extreme uncomfortable nature your meeting with her and put her in and she felt, scared and forced to sign paperwork as well as the security of her portion of the estate. There was a reason your client and myself went and assigned power of attorney to myself her fiance. before a certain time on Tuesday. You had never met your client. Before that day to consult with her, nor do you know anything about her immediate needs or the almost 10 year relationship we have shared together as well the current status regarding her family involved. She called me extremely upset and disturbed that morning. I then consulted with Joe Viacava on her behalf and learned or was told by his firm that you contacted them or your firm in regards to retaining his services. Well after consulting with him and getting a retainer fee of almost $10,000 which is unethical due to him knowing from your alleged firms contact with his firm that she was incarcerated and had a great deal of money coming her way since he could get payment threw you and due to the nature of you and client conversation. There was a specific reason which is Nobody's business except mine and said client as to why we made it a point to go to your office before court that day for her. I then had a visit at the jail Friday December 8 2017 at 7:35 PM and she really got into great detail about your meeting together. Based on you meeting her for the first time when her and myself went to your office, not knowing the length of time as well as nature of mine and her relationship, or the current situation with her family which is not good. So after speaking with her at the jail as well as the phone from her immediately calling me in distress immediately after you saw her as well as jeapordized her money by contacting another firm on her behalf. She and I are contacting the ACAP first thing Monday morning to explain the matter in great detail and learn how to formally proceed. Because like I stated which is Nobody's business but ours there was a direct reason she did what we did Tuesday as well as me notifying you of her wishes that were discussed prior to my assignment and still are from our conversation Friday evening at the jail. There was specific reasons behind me being her power of attorney for the portion of her estate she was entitled to as well as her right to exercise her rights to grant me whatever powers she wants over what's hers you met me and shook my hand and said client for the first time. myself going on 10 years of love and friendship with said client. at the moment I am writing this to let you know she has asked me to proceed with the proper agencies to inform them of what has occurred and to see what or if any violations have occured due to Florida statues that the Florida bar governs. You met me for litterally five minutes I've know the client that appointed me for almost 10 years so for you to advise her in such a manner with no fact to our personal relationship together I don't feel is ethical or fair practice since there are matters at hand that aren't anyone's business but instead of consulting with the three of us and you not meeting your client until just this week Im very confused on how you could judge say or advise her in anyway about me and what she should do. Bottom line the minute she returned to where she is staying in current facility. I was immediately notified by her by telephone and told of the uncomfortable nature you made her feel as well as her feeling pressured into signing something she did not want to. I can get the conversation between us at her temp place of stay.since they are all recorded and have contacted the said entity for transcript to prove her words about the meeting already letting them know our transcript of our visit may be needed.

Rita Jackman is a very professional and compassionate attorney who has assisted our family through some very sensitive times.

This is one incredible group of attorneys. I received responsive legal services and attention to my issues. I highly recommend Mr.Jackman.

They want a client satisfaction award in 2016. By far the best attorney I've ever dealt with

Very happy with this law firm professionals.

Ms. Jackman and Mr. Ricciardi were a huge help during a very difficult time. They were patient and explained what needed to be done in an easy to understand manner. I have recommended them to others and will definitely work with them again in the future.

Richard Ricciardi understood our issue and quickly and efficiently prepared the documents necessary to make the required changes.

I highly recommend these attorneys.
