I highly recommend Legal Grit, PLLC, if you need help with a claim against your insurance company. Fighting the insurance company alone can be daunting. Without proper representation, many people’s insurance claims are denied or severally underpaid by the insurance company. However, Legal Grit is able to assist clients through the claims process by reviewing insurance policies to determine the maximum claim amount available, submitting a claim to the insurance company, and negotiating the claim on your behalf. They aren’t afraid to take the insurance companies to court, and won’t hesitate to file a lawsuit against the insurance companies, if a valid claim is denied. As a business attorney, I recommend Jesse Long at Legal Grit, PLLC to all my clients who need help fighting for a fair resolution to an insurance claim.

Legal Grit and Mr. Jesse Long were nothing short of fantastic. I was actually referred to this legal team as a result of an insurance company not standing up to their end of the bargain. Mr. Long handled this commercial scale law suit with incredible speed and effectiveness. For not having a personal friendship or past business relationship with this firm, they treated me like I was their only client and achieved a result I did not think I could get. I apologize if I hurt any attorneys feelings by saying this, but in this case, I finally feel like I've met an honest one. Thank you Jesse for you incredible trade craft and professionalism.

We have been working with Jesse for quite some time and the law firm and they make sure to get things done in timely manner and they are professional in everything they do and they communicate at all times which is very important.

Lucky to have this lawyer

No one want to be in a situation where they need a lawyer, but when necessary you should hope to have a lawyer as good as Mr Sierra. I knew a soon as my case started that I chose the right lawyer and was thankful that he was able to help me. I you will not regret hiring this firm

Outstanding Lawyer

Richard is a pleasure to work with. He makes the process as simple as possible and works very quickly. I was very satisfied with the job he did for me and I will recommend him to my clients and friends.

Our experience with Attorney Rich S. was excellent. The staff was very professional, helpful and responsive. It was a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend their services.

I have known attorney Rich Sierra for over 15 years now and he is the only attorney in the area of business law that I refer my friends and family to. He is knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, reasonable when it comes to taking care of your legal needs. I highly recommend him.

Rich, thank you for a life-changing 2020!

Rich Sierra is truly a rare gem of a lawyer and person. If you want to get an idea of who he truly is, watch the promo videos on his firm's website. It's easy to dismiss such videos as marketing stories. But after my life-changing experience working with Rich to settle a very difficult business dispute for over 6 months in 2020, I can say hand on heart that the Rich you see in those videos is the real guy. He charges a small fee for a consultation call, however the call is actually valuable advice and exploring strategy to solve your case. Going forward, he confirms with you all planned billing so there are no surprises. Lastly, his pricing is surprisingly affordable, which he can do because he handles a high volume of cases with success. Rich has completed several hundred business dispute mediations and resolutions, and during my mediation, it showed. I'm trying not to ramble here, however, I can't say enough great things about Rich Sierra. Rich cares, is a great listener, and is extremely competent as a business mediator and litigator. One of a kind person. I highly recommend Richard Sierra and his firm, Florida Small Business Legal Center, for anyone needing resolution of a business dispute/legal matter. Rich, thank you so much!

Mr Sierra was extremely professional working on my case. I highly recommend his services. Franc 09/19/19

Great professional, super attentive and very effective at his job.

Very helpful

Mr Sierra was very helpful in a case I was involved in. He was prompt,focused,simplified matters and kept me informed. I would use him again.

Quick and responsive

I have worked with Rich Sierra for over ten years and he has always been responsive and knowledgeable about my "small business" questions. This particular need concerned a trademark renewal. Great job!

Richard did a great job 🙂

I must have called 100 attornies before hiring Richard. He was the only one that asked numerous relevant questions before I hired him. Unfortunately, in South FL, most attornies brag how they are better than ice cream without asking relevant questions only to find you bought spoiled milk. Richard was very methodical & meticulous and I knew exactly what he was doing each step of the way. Using a forensic accountant Richard was able to litigate and win my case without going to court. Richard will not cheat or overcharge you. A hard lesson I learned from my first hired attorney. I can highly recommend Richard.

Excellent Attorney. Highly Recommend!

Richard Sierra is a top notch attorney. For my business dispute, I did over 10 free attorney consultations before picking Richard Sierra. Many of the attorney's I consulted would get sidetracked on irrelevant matters and not fully answer my questions. Richard was spot on. He always understood what I was asking and what was needed. He provided excellent legal advice, solutions and attorney letters as needed. He was very efficient to get things done and I was very happy with the outcome for my business dispute. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Got the job done

I hired rich after being named in a law suit. I didn’t have much money rich worked with me and put me on a small payment plan. We had a mediation and when I saw the way he man handled the other attorney I was blown away he went in fully prepared and got the job done. Got my name off the law suit at a minimal fee. Can not thank him enough

EXCELENTE ABOGADO!!!!!!

Cometimos el error de participar en un esquema de negocios sin estar lo suficientemente documentados y llego el tiempo que las sospechas de que algo no andaba bien se fueron transformando en certezas, necesitábamos un abogado y a través de Avvo, encontré al Licenciado Richard Sierra quien de una manera amable, clara, expedita y concreta nos hizo la evaluación legal del caso y nos dijo en que consistía el problema y planteo las soluciones. En conjunto tomamos decisiones según sus sugerencias legales y este asunto llego a un final feliz. Si tuviéramos que definir al Licenciado Richard Sierra en pocas palabras diríamos que es una Excelente profesional y un Gran Ser Humano. Siempre, esta familia estará agradecida por representarnos, superando barreras culturales y geográficas. GRACIAS RICH

Excellent attorney

I needed to see an attorney regarding an issue in my business. I found Rich on Avvo, saw his excellent reviews and met with him. He made me feel like there was a solid person behind me, advising me on how to handle the issue. I felt very confident after that and was able to resolve it. I will definitely call Rich in the future to assist me. Please contact him! He is great!

Local representation

Richard did a fabulous job protecting my interests from a distance and keeping my expenses to a minimum. I am very pleased with the outcome he was able to achieve.

Thank you Rich

We were very pleased with the outcome. An experience which was very difficult for us was handled in a way that allowed us to carry on with our day to day stuff with a huge weight lifted. Our involvement was kept to a minimum... and that suited us. Good hire, will hire again when & if necessary.

Richard Sierra

We hired Mr. Sierra when a summons was served to our company as we had defaulted on an equipment lease due to a very bad economy and a struggling business. The amount we were being sued for was approximately $55,000.00. Mr. Sierra negotiated on our behalf & we settled with the bank to whom the money was owed, for $10,000.00 to be paid over the next 17 months. We were very happy & relieved over the outcome as we thought we would have been forced to close our business. Mr. Sierra did a great job and we would defiantly use him again and recommend him to anyone needing his services.

one of the best lawyers in south Florida

I have used Rich Sierra for 2 cases now in which he was professional, reliable, and won both of my cases with his legal knowledge, expertise, and commitment to his clients. One of the reasons I chose Richard was his dedication and commitment to being a champion martial arts and the court room a winner at everything its in his blood

Richard. Sierra

Very responsive and explained case well.

Dispute with foreign shipment

Mr. Sierra handled a difficult case with a local (Miami) shipper with a shipment from Argentina. The shipper or his agent failed to clear the shipment in a timely manner, causing excessive fines and storage costs. Mr. Sierra handled every stage of my lawsuit with the shipping company, and negotiated a fair settlement for me. The proceedings took over 16 months.but Mr. Sierra's team kept me will informed and reached a successful outcome. Thank you.

Glad I kept his contact information after many years

Mr. Sierra is a pleasure to work with. He is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Mr. Sierra met our requirements regarding time, even though it was a last minute request. He was always contacting us and requesting feedback. Delivered on time and we were pleased with the final product.

Excellent Professionalism

From legal advice for our business to the incorporation of one of our companies and trademark registrations, Mr. Sierra has been there helping us on every step of our way. Excellent professionalism, very knowledgeable on business laws, responsible and honest. We recommend his service to everyone.

You will not regret working with Rich

I had a Lawsuit filed against me from a major car rental company and I contacted several attorneys in the state of Florida and all kept telling me the same thing and that was to settle. I contacted Rich and he gave me so much information without me even hiring him. He told me he was going to fight the case and not settle. The price was very reasonable and he made me feel as if I were speaking to a friend and not someone who was trying to make money off me. The outcome was more than what I expected. I was skeptical about Rich just because he was the only one who wasn't willing to settle but he delivered what he promised.

Best lawyer for small business did a great job very professional and was able to work with my limited budget

I am very glad that I found Mr.Sierra due to the positive/win of my case, however it's much more than just that he is very professional and has extensive knowledge of business law and litigation as well as mediation and I'm sure he has knowledge of other areas but my case involved these areas specifically.From start to finish he spoke to me as an equal and not in lawyer talk you know what I mean if you have ever needed a lawyer how they typically talk to clients well that was not Mr.Sierra he made me fell very comfortable throughout the entire process and explained everything so I would be able to understand.Not only were other lawyers I spoke with prior to hiring Mr.Sierra $200-$300 dollars an hour more expensive yes that's right $200-$300 more per hr! I could just tell they didn't care about the small business guy like myself, well he did and had total confidence in winning my case which of course made me fell better. As the saying goes at the end of the day if your looking or should I say need a reputable lawyer that won't Bs you and know's how to work with small business on a budget,I guarantee if you just call him and speak to him if he feels he can help you he will tell you he can if he can't he won't give you any bs and take your money,straight forward guy/Lawyer that knows his stuff God Bless him and his Ethics as a lawyer is all I can say.

I GOT A GOOD SETTLEMENT!

I live on the West Coast and I had to engage Rich to negotiate a settlement with a company with whom do business in Florida. He brokered the settlement and avoided litigation. All for a flat fee which was more than reasonable. I highly recommend his services.

Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Sierra handled the Sale of my Business. He was knowledgeable, understanding and informative throughout this transaction. I felt that I was in good hands as Mr. Sierra was looking out for my best interest at all times. He was diligent in his work, and handled all issues in a professional manner.

Kappy's Jewelry

I found Mr. Sierra just on a blind call looking for advice on a issue I was having. After giving him all of the background info he gave me some solid advice and didn't ask me for a dime. As it turned out I need to go further and have him step in an help handle the situation. He kept me informed and he made is clear to me what our strategy would be and then implemented it and didn't rush me off the phone. I was pleased with the results and I would refer him to any small business needing a attorney. On a side note even the party we were working against said to me they like him and would consider using him for themselves.

If you want to prevail this is your attorney!

Richard knows the law! We had a very complex case and thru his research and extreme legal and business knowledge we were able to settle the case Quick! He kept us informed every step of the way and was 3 steps ahead of the opposing counsel from start to finish. It was a very cost effective litigation. I would recommend Richard to anyone seeking the very best counsel. Tony [removed by Avvo staff] COO Xrock Industries LLC

Franchise dispute resolved favorably

Took the right action and achieved the desired results. Understands franchise laws and used this knowledge to obtain proper resolution of dispute with franchisor before litigation.

He is a superb lawyer.

I had a very serious problem with my former business partner, who tried to force me out of the business that I had founded. I have made the grave error of drawing up the contract between us without consulting a lawyer. As a result, the contract was flawed and contained provisions detrimental to me that made it possible for my partner to sue me for sole control. I looked for a business lawyer online and came across Mr. Sierra. As he had good recommendations from clients, I decided to hire him. It was most fortunate for me that I did. He resolved my case very effectively, settling it out of court in a highly satisfactory way that enabled me to keep my business without my partner. I recommend Mr. Sierra most highly. He is a superb lawyer, honest, responsible and very professional. I could not have been happier with his work. I was also very pleased with his assistant, Aimee, who was very helpful and always kept me informed of the status of the case.

If you are smart, you will use this attorney...he is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

With an enormous amount of of knowledge and an abundant source of positive energy, Rich Sierra pulled me through a maze of legalities. His compassion and professionalism is like no other. His office assistant Aimee is positively wonderful. You are kept informed every step of the way. He exceeds expectation's. Mr. Sierra's integrity is beyond reproach. In this day and age, no one is truthful and they just want your business. Mr. Sierra DESERVES your business because of his knowledge, grace, and because he cares. Mr. Sierra will treat you like he would treat his own family throughout your case...you will also not win unless you choose this attorney to represent you. I chose him, I won and would reccommend him to anyone who is searching for a competent attorney to represent their case in a respectful, thorough manner. You won't be let down. Choose Mr. Sierra and he will get the job done for you...you deserve to have the best represent you, Mr. Sierra is the best!!!!!!

Professional, knowledgeable and he has a great deal of integrity!

Richard is extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, and answered every question with honesty and integrity. Meetings with Richard provided insight that positioned me to be more confident in making the right decisions regarding a business opportunity that could have could have gone very wrong. Thank you Richard!

Real estate transaction

We needed last minute urgent advice on the purchase of a foreclosure. Rich was able to immediately be available and review the documentation overnight and provide advise. We retained him to represent us through the closing and his services were invaluable in educating and assisting us on this transaction.

Fantastic Attorney!

Mr. Sierra is thorough and very knowledgeable. He has been helping me with two different cases, and I am very happy with his work. He was able to help me settle one case and is working diligently on another.

Real Estate

Richard is an Excellent Attorney, I appreciate his professionalism and dedication.I'm very grateful for his service.

Efficient and Compassionate

After consulting with several lawyers we found Rich, who was able to help us through a complex and nasty business ordeal with a franchisor. This was done without the usual financial burden and abuse of most lawyers. He also helped us with a few other legal issues and all were handled with professionalism and compassion. We would definitely hire him again and recommend his services.

The right Lawyer for the Job

I was recently in a Lawsuit and a judgement against my Company was awarded due to the neglegence of my past inresponsible Lawyer.I decided to fire the first Lawyer and hire Richard who was able to clear out the mess from what could have been a disaster for me.Richard was verry clear,honest and reliable from the beggining.I wish I could have used him from the start,it would have same me a lot of headeck,time and money.

Excellent Attorney!

As we ventured into entrepreneurship, we were referred to Mr. Sierra by a small business owner. We could not have found a more perfect fit for our legal needs. Mr. Sierra has helped us since the beginning, as we searched for a location and as we grew and continue to grow. He has been a great advocate not only by ensuring we get the best possible lease agreement but also with all other legal matters. He has always been prompt to respond to all our questions and concerns, and being first time small business owners we had many. Overall, Mr. Sierra is a thorough professional, who is also trustworthy and honest. It has put me at ease knowing that I have Mr. Sierra in our corner, to review and guide us through our legal matters.

Outstanding Professional

Mr. Sierra took over several cases that were consuming a lot of cash of my busines without any resolution. He step-up as my new attorney and in less than six months over 50% were gone and resolved to my satisfaction. He keep working in the rest of the cases very diligent, providing a detail status report on a monthly basis and discussing strategies to obtain a resolution. Mr. Sierra will tell you upfront if you have a strong case or a strategy to minimize your losses. I am using him as well for any personal consultation. I am very satisfied with his work and honest advice.

Highly Recommend

Owning multiple businesses, I need an attorney that really understands Contracts and Agreements between companies. Rich has been a tremendous help. Rich has saved me a considerable amount of money by detecting "red flags" in contractual agreements. Not only can Rich find the problem areas but he also finds solutions. I can honestly tell you I will never sign another corporate agreement with out running it past Rich first. I am glad to have him on my team!

You will not find a better attorney.

I was in need of an attorney due to a franchise dispute with my franchisor. Richard was always available for my questions. He kept me informed of all proceedings, and took the time to make sure i understood what was going on at every step of the process. Rich fought a huge lawfirm backed by my franchisor, and brought about an amicable settlement that I thought would have never happened. Rich never "nickeled & dimed" me like many lawyers do. He was very reasonable with his fees, and was very understanding to our situation. Rich did an incredible job for me. I can not recommend him enough. Please email me if you have any question about using him. Rick K. Drury, CEO Precinct Pizza, ceo@precinctpizza.com, 813 228 6973. I am still using him for other matters as well, and expect to use him in the future for anything that requires legal council, too.

Happy to have Mr. Sierra working on my case.

Unfortunately, I am in a very complex legal battle with my business partner in Florida. Despite the huge amount of background information and correspondence to backup my case i have sent Mr. Sierra's team they been excellent at cutting through the complexities and focusing on the strong areas of my case. I really feel they are my partners in this. Rich has guided me in making all the right moves pre-litigation even though I have been very emotional. This is my first major business lawsuit, and I am glad that i met Mr. Sierra after looking for several months and interviewing several business lawyers that just didn't feel right for me. So far it's looking promising and although the case is in the early stages, I feel positive about it and I would like to leave this review. Thank you Mr. Sierra and to your staff. I am looking forward to a good outcome so that I can get what I deserve and finally move on with my life.
