Very knowledgeable concerning military divorce

Chris and his team were very well versed in the divorce process as it pertained to military retirement and equitable distribution. His legal advice was critical to making sound decisions for my future post-divorce.

Experienced and Highly Recommended

If you are contemplating the need for a Family Law Attorney or simply trying to decide whom should represent you, please look no further. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Ragano and his firm. They are extremely detail-oriented and will provide all of their experience as it applies to your case. Mr. Ragano's expertise as a litigator in the court room is admired and he's always prepared. My case had many twist and turns that truly required the agility and devotion that Mr. Ragano had. He understood my needs as a client, and has exceeded all of my expectations. For anyone that knows me (personally), my expectations are very high as it relates to keeping my children safe. He is the BEST!

Professional & Excellent Litigation Skills

I retained Mr. Ragano in order to relocate with my 2 minor children out of Florida and he delivered beyond my expectations! My fiancé had heard about Mr. Ragano based on his great reputation as a litigator and he delivered on that reputation. After six long years of high conflict with my ex-husband and his attorney I was emotionally spent, but after Mr. Ragano came on as my counsel he and his amazing paralegal, Dana, were able to get everything organized; all required filings completed accurately; keep Opposing Counsel in check; successfully fought to make sure that my kids privacy was protected; and was always prepared to fight on my behalf. I was able to see first hand the litigation skills he is known for and I can say with certainty they are definitely the best I have seen over six years. I highly recommend Mr. Ragano and his staff if you have a family law matter; especially if it is high conflict and/or complex. We are incredibly happy with the results from the Court. The expert knowledge of the laws that Mr. Ragano has and his exceptional litigation skills resulted in us being approved to relocate and the Parenting Plan that he filed was accepted in full, no exceptions.

Thank you Chris & Amazing Staff

Chris and his team helped me through the most difficult time in my life. Never having gone through a divorce … Chris and Stephanie did a wonderful job, keeping me informed and staying on top of everything. I can honestly say that Chris holds no mercy for the opposing side and goes hard for his clients. After all was said and done, I was pleased in my overall outcome and final judgement. Though, this process was tough for my children and I, when I look back, I’m so happy Chris was on my side, fighting for me.

Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly

Mr. Ragano is an excellent lawyer and I’ve had the absolute best experience with him and his law office. He, and everyone at the law firm, is very prompt, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He is, by far, the best attorney that I have ever had in my experience and worth every penny.

One of the BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS IN TAMPA!!

Chris was the second attorney I hired in my divorce proceedings and unfortunately the damage had already been done by the first firm I hired to represent me. Uncontested false DV accusations were too big a hole to climb out of, but Chris nearly pulled it off against one of the top attorney's in the Tampa area. When Chris came onboard he was energetic, aggressive, extremely knowledgable of family law and his calm confidence had me convinced the outcome would be in my favor despite the horrible counsel I previously obtained. Had I hired Chris from the start I'm 100% certain my ex would've never been allowed to relocate and I'd currently be enjoying 50/50 time sharing with my children. Unfortunately, fathers always start a few steps behind in divorce proceedings. Chris knows this and has the tools and experience to even the odds and give you the best chance possible. Don't make the mistakes I did. Hire Chris from the start and put one of the best attorney's in Tampa on your side. He's worth every penny. I should also I add that since the divorce was finalized (5 years ago) I've called Chris numerous times for advice and he's ALWAYS taken my calls and steered me in the right direction. There's no better feeling than knowing Chris is on your side and ready to give his all at a moments notice.

Appellate Attorney

Chris is a brilliant and caring trial attorney. As an appellate attorney, I have handled several appeals for Chris, both as the appellant and the appellee, and I have seen the magnificent work he has done for his clients. Because of Chris' dedication to details and his knowlege of the law, I have been successful in every appellate case I have done for his firm, save one (which I should have won - but at times, the appellate court will do what the appellate court wants to do). If you are looking for an attorney to handle your family law case or domestic violence matter, I highly recommend Chris Ragano.

DO NOT HIRE

Mr. Ragano failed to advocate for my family as he allowed opposing counsel to dictate the course of our highly contested divorce primarily involving (documented) parental alienation and child custody. He did not demonstrate any ability or interest to battle very capable opposing counsel who was quite successful in getting the best deal for her client...

He is so good I retained him twice

Chris Ragano is an outstanding litigator who is experienced and knowledgeable. I have retained him twice thus far and plan to retain his services again in the future if I need him. Everyone in his office is pleasant and helpful from the legal assistant to the person who has to collect the money. They know what they are doing and they are very good at it. Money well spent.

I have known Chris for well over 20 years through litigation against him. He was always zealous and compelling. Of late I have been assigned on several of his cases as a Guardian ad Litem. In those cases I had the opportunity to observe him in court as a bystander. Chris is always respectful of the court, forceful when needed, and cognizant of what the court needed to hear. I admire Chris because too many attorneys lose sight of the children I represent. Chris has always heard me out and then addressed his clients when needed...all for the best interests of the children. When Chris and I litigated, even though he was zealous about his clients, he and I always managed to settle our differences and we came to peaceful resolutions that ultimately were in our clients' best interests. Chris has the knowledge to walk that line between litigation and settlement.
