"An Extraordinary Legal Team – Turning Years of Struggle into a Swift Victory I fought my case for two long years, and my journey through the legal system was not easy. I first started with Dr. Quirantes in Miami, who simply wanted me to accept the charges without truly fighting for me. Later, I was with Rivas Law Firm for about a year and a half, and unfortunately, I experienced a complete lack of empathy and no meaningful progress toward a successful resolution. Everything changed when I met Stephanie Raton from The Umansky Law Firm. From our very first conversation, I could feel her genuine warmth, compassion, and unmatched professionalism. She truly listened, cared from the heart, and immediately took strong, strategic action. In just three to four months, she achieved what others couldn’t do in years — she resolved my case flawlessly. She was steadfast, firm against the prosecution, and absolutely committed to securing the best possible outcome for me. I also want to sincerely thank Susan, her assistant, whose kindness, responsiveness, and constant communication made me feel supported every step of the way. Together, they made an outstanding team that not only fought for me, but truly cared about me as a person. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie Raton, Susan, and The Umansky Law Firm to anyone seeking not only outstanding legal representation but also a team who will stand by you with empathy, determination, and results."

"Rachel is nothing short of amazing. From the moment we reached out, she was professional, understanding, and genuinely cared about my dad’s situation. She walked us through every step of the process, kept us informed, and always made sure we understood what was going on. Her dedication and attention to detail are unmatched — she worked hard to ensure my dad’s misdemeanor case was dismissed, and thanks to her expertise, we got the best possible outcome. She didn’t just treat us like clients; she treated us like family. If you’re looking for an attorney who is skilled, compassionate, and truly fights for you, Rachel is the one you want on your side. We’ll always be grateful for what she’s done for our family. Thank you Rachel!!"

"My experience with the Umansky Law Firm was nothing short of fantastic. Beginning with Rachel Mattie who had my case under control from day 1. She advised me on taking classes that she knew the judge and state attorney would ask me to do. I was on probation 1 day. Next phase was the sealing of the record where Bruce Rogers handled everything. All he asked from me was a little patience. It all worked out. I have to also thank Zahra Umansky who was emailing on every update they received. 5 stars!!! Nothing less"
