Ted is an OUTSTANDING lawyer!

We can't say enough great things about Ted and his team. Ted took the time to get to know us and what we needed in a lawyer. He was all of that and more. He's caring, a great listener, easy to talk to, and is an incredible lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney that really knows the law and can get stuff done! Even if you have a complex case, Ted is the absolutely best option for you!

Child Custody

Ted was the lawyer for my child custody case. Since first appointment he understood my situation, believed me and provided good guidance, he was very aggressive. The case ended fairly and I was happy with the outcome. I will recommend Ted.

Tough, Brilliant and a Winner

Ted and his team are a 100x more deserving of a few sentences on a review page. In a cut-throat, dog-eat-dog arena, I felt that no challenge was too great with Ted representing me. 18 months of litigation, hearings and meetings can seem like a lifetime when you are uncertain of your son's future. Somehow Ted managed to keep me strong in the fight and helped give me the confidence I needed to take down the giant in front of me. He is a Winner, he is Tough, he is Brilliant, he is Strategic, he is Relationship-driven and he cares greatly. Thank you Ted and team for everything you did for me and my son.

Amazing lawyer

Rechel Associates are the best. The entire team was just very professional and knowledgeable. Ted and his paralegal Ashley helped me to recover my time with my son after a very frustrated and unfair result from the court. I have no words to express how thankful I am and I absolutely recommend the firm to anyone that needs a family lawyer.

Ted Rechel is the Best

Ted was the best advocate I could ever have by my side during the difficult times of my divorce. He always represented me with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. He is an extremely competent and dedicated divorce lawyer, who tirelessly worked on my behalf. A brilliant mind and a caring heart were the trademarks of his work. His extensive expertise in family law, and an inner drive to do his best, were critical factors in providing not only an effective and fair, but also a creative resolution to my case. I am grateful for Ted and his experienced team for an outstanding job. I wholeheartedly recommend him without any reservation to anyone looking for a talented and caring lawyer. There is no doubt that Ted is the best!

Highly recommended

Without reservation I would recommend Rechel & Associate, P.A. A Dissolution of Marriage was unfortunately heavily litigated and my case presented many complex issues. Mr. Rechel and his entire staff were able to handle every aspect of my case. Mr. Rechel was not only an excellent litigator but an invaluable advocate. He provided outstanding representation and with the assistance of his entire staff, resolved my case with not only professionalism but with compassion, assuming a guidance role in getting me from one step to the next. Thank you Rechel & Associates!

I was so honored to intern with Ted for a semester while I was in law school. Ted is a giant in the Family Law world. He is great not only because he is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled attorney, but also because he is an exceptionally compassionate human being. Ted is THE family lawyer I would recommend my family and friends, and clients to go to in the Tampa Bay Area.

Ted is an excellent attorney with a versatile skill set. He has considerable aptitude for conducting trials and a level of creative strategy that comes across as both insightful and genuine before the court. At this point in his career, he is a formidable adversary in virtually any family law proceeding, and a voice of reason and wisdom for his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. I have been practicing criminal law for almost 20 years. I have done a lot of trial work. My divorce was recently resolved, but not without a lot of effort on Mr. Rechel's part. I hired Mr. Rechel because I had seen him in court and watched him try a case against another lawyer long before I hired him to represent me. He was excellent then, and he was excellent in the handling of my divorce. To be a great family law attorney you have to be more than a lawyer because of the emotional turmoil that many divorces can create. Ted is a master at preparing his case and his client for court. His knowledge of the law forced the other side to reconsider their position, and in my opinion brought an end to a terrible situation. My wife was very unrealistic and unreasonable. Once, she and her lawyers understood that Mr. Rechel and I would never back down she finally agreed to end the case. I only hope that anyone reading this endorsement calls me to learn more..

Ted was appropriately aggressive, respectful, and honest. He was mindful of fees and costs and his staff and office have always been helpful and responsive.

anonymous

I have had numerous cases against Ted over the past 20 years, and on every occasion he's shown himself to be an extremely competent, knowledgeable, resourceful and experienced adversary. While trying a case against Ted is never easy, I know Ted will be an above board and honest opponent, and professional throughout. We may and often do see things differently, but I always respect his opinion even while disagreeing with it - so much so that Ted is also my first choice as mediator when I have a tough case where a mediator with his excellent background, experience and judgment - and his ability to communicate and reasonably argue the 'trade-offs' may be the only way a case can be settled reasonably instead of having to be tried at much greater expense and risk to the client. As an attorney or mediator, I would and have recommended Ted highly and without reservation - even to attorney friends of mine who I was too close to personally to represent myself.

I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information.

Mr. Rechel is a professional, very competent lawyer in family law, as well as other areas of the law.

I first met Ted when I was working as staff counsel for the family judges in the 13th Judicial Circuit. He impressed me then as a reliable advocate of great integrity. Any work product he submitted to the Court was sure to be well-researched and creative in its approach. After nearly six years with the Court I knew I could only leave to work for the best, and that is Ted. In the weeks leading up to my transfer to Rechel & Associates I was repeatedly congratulated by my judges and other family law professionals for my good fortune, since Ted Rechel has a reputation for being both a consummate professional and a good man.

He is an aggressive attorney and a zealous advocate for his clients who works on securing every benefit for them while maintaining the respect of his peers and judges. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney with the highest skills in Florida Marital and Family Law.
