One of the best litigation attorneys and litigation teams in Florida
Mr Dimond and his team took over on our company’s case which involved a contract (or lack thereof) and business dispute that could have cost us tens of millions of dollars if we lost and we hired him just a couple of months before trial. He was handed a half baked case by our previous attorneys who were not up to the challenge and he and his team hit the ground running and by the time we went to trial we were all prepared for the worst but hoped for the best. By day two of trial it was evident to me; the judge and the jury that our legal team was much better organized; prepared and ultimately it’s was almost entertaining to see our legal team completely destroy the other sides case to the extent our five day trial was over in half the time and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of a four year legal battle finally being over. I would highly recommend Mr Dimond and I hope we may never need to call him again but I would never hesitate in making that call if we did.
