After I paid him and promises broken he refrains from written commitments via email or text except when issues come up. He want's phone calls and then tells you he'll call back and ghost. I drove over 4.5 hours to Tallahassee from Melbourne, FL to ask him in person to once again to please file my paperwork because I a suffering a hardship waiting for his office to do the job I hired them for. His paralegals know what I'm saying but they are not the attorney as their hand are tied. He has cost me thousands of dollars of potential Revenue and I have gone through thousands of dollars in saving waiting on broken promises. I want the filing fees back from him that he never used. He sent what was to be a complete file that he was sending to the DBPR and the file had erros after hiring someone else to complete the task. I want applicable funds returned to me. Thank you Sword and Shield - Adrian Middleton for contributing to my financial hardship.\nSword and Shield Attorney - Adrian Middleton attorney Review 2026: Major lack of communication, many broken promises of filing documents, cost me thousands in potential time/income forcing me to pay for another service to file. I had to terminate/fire Adrian Middleton! Who wants to fire an attorney? That says it all! FYI, we asked for a full copy of the docs that were to be submitted that he said was in order, but didn't file. Come to find-out that some signatures were missing from the \"full copy\" that were necessary. Again, in the dark during the process with Sword and Shield. I want my filing fees back because he never filed the \"already completed forms\" to the DBPR.

This is unacceptable for a professional legal service.\n\nI hired your firm in good faith, paid all required attorney and DBPR fees, and trusted that my application would be handled diligently and professionally. Instead, I have been left without answers, without updates, and without the level of service that was promised.\n\nThis review serves as a formal notice: if I do not receive a clear written update on the status of my application and a concrete plan of action within the next seven (7) days, I will immediately retain another attorney to take over my case. In addition, I will explore all available legal remedies to recover damages and address the mishandling of my matter.\n\nI expect a prompt and professional response.\n\nSincerely,\nDaniel Smejoff","reviewerName":"Daniel Nemetz Smejoff","reviewerEmail":null,"isVerified":false,"verificationToken":null,"caseType":null,"caseYear":null,"caseOutcome":null,"status":"APPROVED","moderatedAt":null,"moderatedBy":null,"rejectionReason":null,"isPublished":true,"helpfulCount":0,"unhelpfulCount":0,"reportCount":0,"source":"GOOGLE","externalId":"Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tzdGQwaHVNbkEyY2tKTGFXOWlZVWREUkZOME0zYxAB","reviewUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tzdGQwaHVNbkEyY2tKTGFXOWlZVWREUkZOME0zYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x89cac2d46396a9f1!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkstd0huMnA2ckJLaW9iYUdDRFN0M3c%7C%7C?hl=en-US","profileUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118020232264163749282/reviews?hl=en-US","profileImageUrl":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJ1DYP6wZZHVfUHz75uATyIKe6iop6X_LJ0zd-qIVKiLzYOAw=s64-c-rp-mo-br100","ownerAnswer":null,"ownerTimestamp":null,"reviewTimestamp":"2026-02-03T16:14:30.000Z","timeAgo":"a month ago","isLocalGuide":false,"reviewPhotos":{"images":null,"photosCount":0},"createdAt":"2026-05-08T22:52:56.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-08T22:52:56.162Z","lawyerId":"880cc244-66e0-4c22-a056-ca137bcb284d","userId":null,"response":null},{"id":"363cc9de-bd87-4eba-88c4-b6eef6b39c88","rating":1,"title":null,"content":"Hello Adrian or Mariana or Sabrina or anyone who works at this firm and would be willing to get back to me. It’s been over a month and a half since I have been able to contact anyone at the firm and have just gotten off the phone with the DBPR and they claim not to have any record of a GC license application having been submitted for me however I have emails up until December 12th from Mariana when she then stopped answering my emails or calls saying that she had checked on the status of the application and that there we no deficiencies but that they had not yet reviewed it.\n\nI have called dozens of times over the past month and emailed every attorney I can find on your website and no one has answered even once since December 12th 2025.\n\nWould love to hear from you to curb my thoughts on that I was just scammed out of over $1000. Or would love to see a response to this review with any evidence that what I am saying isn’t 100% accurate.","reviewerName":"Amaury Hernandez-Robles","reviewerEmail":null,"isVerified":false,"verificationToken":null,"caseType":null,"caseYear":null,"caseOutcome":null,"status":"APPROVED","moderatedAt":null,"moderatedBy":null,"rejectionReason":null,"isPublished":true,"helpfulCount":0,"unhelpfulCount":0,"reportCount":0,"source":"GOOGLE","externalId":"Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xoWlJuQmpVMGcyVEZadWJYTjFjVGsyWDNGaVFVRRAB","reviewUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xoWlJuQmpVMGcyVEZadWJYTjFjVGsyWDNGaVFVRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x89cac2d46396a9f1!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlhZRnBjU0g2TFZubXN1cTk2X3FiQUE%7C%7C?hl=en-US","profileUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105295173739120611671/reviews?hl=en-US","profileImageUrl":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjW3NywMFfWCLcW7r0aY-PXMmZDd6jk8uW4NXpo7_wU09s8ALTY=s64-c-rp-mo-ba2-br100","ownerAnswer":null,"ownerTimestamp":null,"reviewTimestamp":"2026-01-22T21:52:35.000Z","timeAgo":"a month ago","isLocalGuide":true,"reviewPhotos":{"images":null,"photosCount":1},"createdAt":"2026-05-08T22:52:56.162Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-08T22:52:56.162Z","lawyerId":"880cc244-66e0-4c22-a056-ca137bcb284d","userId":null,"response":null}],"intelligence":null}}
