Find Someone (Anyone) Else

First of all, Greg Kramer does nothing, his Clerk (Wayne) does all of the work. BUT the clerk does not go to Court. So Kramer, who does not keep up-to-date on the info, is the one actually representing you. Anything you give to Kramer will not make it to the Clerk (I gave Kramer original documents that never made it to the clerk, had to re-complete my intake form, etc). There is a lack of communication between Kramer and the Clerk.
They rack up legal bills and give no results. Clerk wrote lots of motions and files (and subsequently charged me for his time), then they would not use them. For example, they unilaterally decided to do Contempt of Court on the opposite party when he didn’t pay his child support, spent a lot of my time writing emails, motions, etc. Then it all just disappeared. When I asked what happened the clerk said, “No contempt. Greg made that decision and it had been already removed from prior hearing.” I was not asked to start or stop that process, but I was charged. That is just one example of many where they wasted my money in that manner.
Kramer gave terrible advice. The #1 reason I got a lawyer was so they could guide me through the process and help me know what outcome to expect. Kramer is either ignorant to how judges typically rule in family court OR purposefully misled me in order to make money off of me. I suspect a little of both.
When the opposing counsel asked us to go to mediation, Kramer and his Clerk told me not to go and to wait until after the first court date. They continually reassured me that nothing would happen at the court date (which they set) except appointment of a GAL and a Social Investigation. Kramer recommended and set up this court date and then was completely unprepared. Nor did he prepare me (I called him multiple times asking to meet, and he kept saying we had plenty of time). As one small example (I have many) the opposing lawyer had a document that I had originally provided for evidence at the beginning of the legal process. Kramer tried to object to it and the opposing counsel reminded him “your office filed this.” To make matters more laughable, Kramer then asked if the opposing counsel had printed a copy for him. Kramer had zero evidence, made zero points, alienated the judge in his opening statement (and actually argued when the judge corrected him until the judge said that he could stop and read the transcripts if necessary). He was not credible in court at all. Kramer simply talked in circles. He obviously just likes to hear himself talk, but there is no substance being said.
Our Guardian Ad Litem told me Greg “did not advocate for you at all.” The opposing counsel stated that Greg “made a fool of himself.” Greg emailed me hours after the trial saying he was sorry, but also deflecting blame from himself. One day later he emailed me saying that he assumed I wanted him to withdraw and that they would prepare a final bill and the paperwork for withdraw. The next day the clerk messaged me saying, “Mr. Kramer thinks you will be seeking new counsel. Is that correct?” Kramer pushed me very hard to let him leave the case. So Kramer did not do his job, which put me in a terrible position, and then immediately wanted to withdraw from the case. He charged me a significant amount of money, got me no results, and then left me scrambling to find another lawyer to fix what he had ruined. Terrible.
He is the exact type of lawyer that gives lawyers a bad name. He does no work and does not care about his clients. He needs to retire.

Greg Kramer Top Notch

Attorney Kramer is an increadibly bright and experience family law attorney. He is honest , reliable and well spoken. I chose him because he cares about the families he represents and all cost Greg looks out for the best interest of the children involved. Greg is kind yet tough I would recommend him to anyone needing help in divorce matters. He has already helped several of my friends as well

I endorse Gregory Kramer. He is a very competent attorney. I have known Greg for many years, having had numerous cases against him. He is always prepared; he has a thorough understanding of the law and the rules of evidence; he knows how to present a case effectively to the Court; and he acts professionally at all times. My experience with and trust in Greg has been such that I have referred clients to him with total confidence.

Greg is a very capable and very competent attorney. My experience with him on the opposite side of one or more cases is that he is very litigious, choosing to churn files instead of cooperatively working to resolve them. He used a "clerk" out of Tampa to "ghost write" virtually everything filed with his name on it; the signature always being affixed with a signature stamp. His ethics are borderline, at times I'd describe him as sneaky.
