Warning: This lawyer over-promises and under-delivers
I shelled out nearly $20,000 for his law firm for a crime that I was earnestly innocent and they basically led me to believe that they genuinely cared and I would be a priority. Once I handed them over the check, they didn't care about me anymore and I was mistreated by being ignored. Phone calls and emails were not responded to. I had no power to do anything about it because technically he is within his right to ignore me and not care about his clients. When you go in for a consultation, you see a brilliant fighter who will zealously represent you passionately and with fervor & diligence. Once the money is handed over to him, it is like Cinderella at midnight when she turns from a princess to an ordinary person. Basically, the lawyer you see during the consultation is NOT the same man he will act once he has gotten what he has wanted from you (your money). He will then suddenly then show his true colors once the motivation to I also found it EXTREMELY manipulative how during the consultation he emphasized that he sometimes turns down clients, and once you decide to hire him, he has the final say and there's a chance he will turn you away. In hindsight, this should have been a red flag because of how it induces you to consider yourself lucky if you are able to secure his legal representation. The last thing I want to emphasize is that "board certified" means NOTHING significantly valuable in the grand scheme of things. I over-estimated the importance of board certification but upon further research, all it means is that an attorney jumped through a few extra hoops so that they can put a shiny title next to their name or on their business card. Another instance of manipulation was how strongly I felt coaxed into signing a plea deal. During the initial consultation, I felt like he wanted to take my case to trial because he believed in my innocence. After hiring him, and as months passed, he emphasized that if I lost at trial that I could potentially be sent to prison because my charge was for a 2nd degree felony. I specifically remember him or his co-partner telling me that it's a bad idea to put my fate into the hands of a jury because the jury could potentially have unreasonable people who decide to take the word of law enforcement and simply vote to convict based on the fact very little evidence existed one way or another. I was made to feel that taking the case to trial proved I was being foolish and taking an extreme unnecessary risk of being sent to prison. In the interest of fairness, I will now briefly list a few positives about Kepler Funk. First, he's very intelligent. Second, he's super professional and hard-working during the initial consultation. Lastly, he has mostly 5-star reviews which I didn't expect. I guess if you're guilty and he gets you a good plea deal, then hats off to him. My experience with him was very negative and I feel like I owe my fellow Floridians a dire warning about him that he becomes a different person after he receives your money. The lawyer you see at the initial consultation IS NOT the same person you will represent you during your case. His diligence and professionalism and fervor all evaporate and you'll be left with an entitled, unmotivated lawyer who has zero incentive to do beyond the bare minimum job for you. In summary, this man is a mediocre lawyer, at best.

consulted with this lawyer

I have been in trouble a lot. This is the first lawyer who told me the truth. He said, after reviewing my case for free, that I should stick with the public defender. I offered to pay him for his time and expert opinion and he said no. This guy is the real deal.

Brillant!

Mr. Funk is a brilliant and phenomenal attorneys. He is a BOARD CERTIFIED attorney which most people do not research and understand the importance of being board certified. I am grateful for every effort this man has made to assist me and save my life. Incredibly intelligent, realistic, and compassionate! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This guy and his firm are not worth the fees they charge, in my opinion. They charged over 250,000 on my federal criminal case and then Funk didn't even show up at my sentencing. I wouldn't use them to represent me on a parking ticket.

Pushes u to plea depending on what u pay
If u aren't a high profile case, definitely expect him to try to push you in to a plea. Most lawyers don't care about you, they care about their win/loss record. A plea means they dont have to work. They fill your head with bs about why u should avoid trial so their life is easier...they get your money and a victory in their win column when they persuade u to plea. They know you will plea to anything when your sitting in that miserable county jail. Lawyers are one of the reasons this country is so screwed up. Don't vote for another lawyer for any political office. We will be better off. That's what u get with Kepler funk. They tried to get me to plea to things I didn't even do. Horrible expensive process. Bad experience! You will go to prison probably with this clown.

Felony
Mr. Funk was straight forward with me. He told me I was in deep trouble and fought like hell to help me. I'll never forget him. He saved me.

I was extremely pleased with Mr. Funk and his partners. I feel they went out of their way to represent me and lookout for my interest

Client Review
I was a former client. He provided very frank speech to me and did not fill my head with promises. I escaped being convicted because of Mr. Funk.
