Paid $425 for a 22 minute consultation. Had to wait 6 weeks for a simple piece of advice and in need of a quick claim deed. Promised a client agreement, quote and I had to call them over and over. Then I was quoted another $450 and additional research fees. When I questioned the quote in writing with a miscalculation in the agreement I received a letter informing me that they would not handle my case. I called another firm and in one day got help and the proper result for $177.70. Sketchley was slow because she took the entire month of October off. Her office run by Tazara was rude and the quote

Twyla Sketchley, Esquire, is an incredible attorney. You will not find a more ethical and community-focused attorney. She is compassionate, empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and a Florida Board Certified Attorney in Elder Law as well. She and her law practice team excellently handle even the most challenging of circumstances, no problem is too great for them. North Florida residents and their families are lucky to have Twyla, and I refer anyone looking for an attorney in Tallahassee and the surrounding areas to her.
