Not so happy with John Bales attorneys. When my husband came out from his meeting with the judge, his attorney, Sabian said, Even I don't believe you. What kind of lawyer says that? Good thing the judge was smarter than his lawyer. Would never recommend John Bales.

I called the John Bales Attorney firm on February 23, 2018 to schedule a consultation. I wanted legal advice on a bad foot sugary procedure I had on May 4, 2016 by Dr. Gary Goodman, clearwater, Fl. His legal secretary took down all information of my disability issues and told me he would review the case with his partners. Since I hadn't heard from the firm I called again, as I know there is a two-year Statues of Limitations which applies to claims of medical practice. I was told they reviewed my case and would be calling me that afternoon.
I never heard from them. I am now at the end of April, 2018, just having had corrective toe surgery, since I was walking on bone and still no call from this law firm. My repeated calls to them was in vain as they never called me back. I would never recommend them.

James was so helpful and professional. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and a good listener, answered my questions and gave me advice on how to proceed next. Although I didn't end up being their client, he still treated me like one with followup email, I can only imagine how well they will take care of their clients.

I consulted with Mr. John Bales on my divorce after working with another local Attorney for almost a year. I was impressed with his clear and effective communication and he impressed me as someone who gets things done. I immediately fired my previous Attorney and retained John. He was supportive throughout the whole process and resolved my car accident in a matter of months. Phone calls, e-mails, and texts were usually answered immediately. I could not have asked for a more dedicated Attorney. Pricing was fair and billing was easy to understand. I highly recommend John and his staff and would use him again.

Donna has been phenomenal throughout my injury. When I was in a wheelchair, she came to my home for the first consultation. When I moved back home for surgery, she handled all of my outstanding bills in Tampa. She collected the maximum settlement from the person at fault and got one of my bills significantly reduced. If you have an injury that you're not 100% liable for, I couldn't recommend Donna more.

John & Dalia was absolutely amazing. They are direct and to the point. They doesn't sugar coat anything and is always up front and honest with all They says and does. They are the best lawyer in my eyes due to the fact that they are available for his clients. You can speak with them directly instead of a receptionist or paralegal. To me, that makes all the difference. If you are looking for the best, look no further!

I recently finalized my car accident claim and I am extremely pleased with the out come of my settlement. It was a long process, but the John Bales Attorneys worked relentlessly to make sure I was made whole again. I was lucky to have found them after doing a search on google. They have very good reviews and are conveniently located near by. Many friends told me horror stories about dealing with a law firm, but this group is honest, hardworking and smart. I can say I am 100% satisfied with the work john, Matthew, James and Dalia did for me and highly recommend John Bales Attorneys.

This is a grade A law group with an all-star staff. I was in a horrible car accident. The other person ran through a red light and T-boned my car. I was out of work for some time and started to suffer from chronic back pain. The other person's insurance company refused to take fault until John Bales Attorneys stepped in and saved the day. If you've been in a collision, check out John Bales Attorneys.

Excellent representation. After getting lukewarm conversations with several lawyers, I went to talk to Matthew about my slip and fall. He saw the value in my injury and I ended up with a generous settlement with his excellent skills as a strategist. I would highly recommend Matthew! If you have any questions, he or James will always get back to you, and never leaves you lurking in the dark. Personally speaking, I would just call him first and not bother shopping around.

I was hit by a car while walking across the street and my friend recommended I call James. Right off the bat he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He was patient with all of my questions and really helped me understand the process along the way. Of course we all want a lawyer who is smart and capable, which James certainly is, but I also really valued how well he listened, and truly felt like he cared. I have the utmost confidence in him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him in the future.

John Bales Attorneys helped me navigate the stress of being hit by a car while riding my bike. James and his legal team were patient and supportive and ensured all medical bills and expenses were managed, alleviating quite a bit of unnecessary stress while I recovered. They fought for me and assured me that I would get the full settlement and with his support, they made it happen. I would highly recommend John Bales Attorneys.

WOW. John Bales Attorneys over-performed. I was injured in a car accident earlier this year and worked with John. He was available to speak whenever I needed him and answered all questions I had through the process. Although the case took a little longer than expected, I never had to worry about them being on top over everything. I received a great settlement and john was even nice enough to bump it up by a few bucks to make it a beautiful even number. Thank you, john!! I highly recommend!

After being struck by a car and being completely overwhelmed by everything that came along with it, Mathew and the rest of the team at John Bales Attorneys helped by taking a major amount of weight off my shoulders all while educating me on what all my next steps could be. They were very communicative and trustworthy throughout the whole process. I'm very grateful for everything they've done for me, and would recommend them to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney!

I contacted John Bales Attorneys to help deal with legal issues. Rather than lead me in the direction of forking over money to the law firm, I was instead pointed in the right direction at no charge. More than Mathew, whom I spoke with, was very friendly and answered all my questions. I appreciate that though my case wasn't going to be profitable for the firm, my questions were still answered with a positive attitude. If you're in need of a Personal Injury Attorney in the Area I'd definitely recommend john Bales Attorneys.

Last summer I was struck by a car while walking in a cross walk. Once I was settled at home to start the recovery process, a friend suggested that I hire an attorney well-versed in personal injury law. He did an online search and found John Bales, which had a significant number of positive reviews. I reached out and within hours, Matthew from John Bales contacted me. He was very polite, patient, professional and immediately made me feel like I had made the right choice. With excellent support from his paralegal, Matthew deftly maneuvered through the complex web of dealing with the driver's insurance company, my medical insurance companies, and all the other obstacles that are involved in cases similar to mine. As of this writing, I am happy to say that Matthew and his team successfully settled my case and I received a financial settlement that was fair and actually for more than what was expected.

The words, "I was lost, and then I was found" come to mind as I write about my experience with John Bales. He listens with a compassionate heart, he has a keen intellect and knows the law inside out. Most important, he fights for you and your rights like a father bear! Recommend John Bales? You bet, he deserves a 5 star rating!

I called John Bales Attorneys the day after my accident occurred. I did not know what to do, who to file a claim with, or how to even handle the situation.

This law office has such a strong team of lawyers. When I hired John Bales Attorneys for my case, I knew I was in good hands immediately. They very competent and assertive in handling my case.

In my case, the settlement was going back and forth between us and the insurance company of the other party. James was able to get me the best compensation because they knew what they were talking about. He knew when they were able to reject the insurance company's offer because he gave very good reasons on why that offer was not good enough. James was my case manager and I definitely recommend him.y case manager and I definitely recommend him.

JOHN BALES WORST LAWYER OFFICE EVER! Never called us, everytime we called we had a new case manager person that had no idea what was going on, in 2 years we had 9 different people in charge of our case. A nine month case turned into 2 years because papers kept "getting misplaced, and they forgot to file them". At the mediation the guy didnt even rebutle for us, you could tell he didn't care and just wanted to get out of there. I was 25, never been to lawyer school and could of argued the case better. I should of spoke up then but was almost in shock. Then on the phone they explained what we got, which was basically nothing for the damages. Then when we got there to get the check it was $1600 less!

CALL WINTERS & YONKER THEY ARE AMAZING!

As of today3/29/17. I have been dealing with this firm for about 2 years, possibly longer. My experience with this firm has been nothing but a pain in the a**. I initially hired them to do an appeal for my disability case, which I had a deadline of October to file the appeal, I received a letter stating I was denied again. After not hearing from the attorney in months I called to speak with one of my "advocates ", which I found out neither of them no longer worked there, so I spoke to my new advocate, who politely informed me that nothing was filed until February. . ...so I'm pissed..... it's been months since I've heard from them and I just called a few ago to be told I'm online doing some work I will have to call you back. ....so very unprofessional and slow, not to mention lack of compassion...so now that I no longer qualify for disability, waiting for an ssi hearing now... I have been dealing with this 2012.

Horrible experience, expected better. I went to them 2months ago I spoke with an attorney, whom said they would take my case the fees were expensive, so I decided to do some research handelling it on my own, I did not get the result I wanted. I recently received a letter from John bales office stating that they are still interested in my case so I decided to call them, after the operator transfered me to a random person, told me right off the bat that they will not be able to accept my case, so I went on to explain to them that I received a second notice stating that John bales firm is still interested in representing me and he transfered me to some girl that took my number, called me back in an hour and related that her office will not be able to represent me. The whole experience today was awful, no one knew anything and they were so quick to state that they weren't willing to take on my case without knowing my situation, instead they want me to sign the agreement of representation form and without me agreeing to do as they requested several times, they now want to decline my case. Horrible experience I will not recommend them to anyone and I will not seek their service in the near future. Did not expect this type of service , very unprofessional and misleading and demanding and horrible. Really they deserve zero stars for their bias service but we all know google options is at least 1 star.
