Client Testimonials

Harley Riedel was an excellent "coach", making our options clear, providing advice about our alternatives, and making sure we had the best possible outcome. He was accessible and responsive throughout the entire process and indeed afterward.

Mr. Riedel is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is clear, concise and strategic in his thinking. He is unflappable in his demeanor. Harley is amongst a handful of attorneys that other attorneys and members of the judiciary seek out for advice and commentary.

Harley Riedel is simply the best!

Mr. Riedel, although obviously very busy, gave our matter his personal attention in every way needed, and used very professional and qualified help from less experienced lawyers when proper and in our best interests. Mr. Riedel used his experience and knowledge effectively to provide us with cutting edge legal advice. He was quick to understand and analyze the intricacies of the issues involved and to suggest and evaluate standard and creative legal, as well as practical business, solutions.

I found Mr. Riedel to be extremely well informed in his practice area, innovative in his approach to solving legal problems, very approachable and willing to discuss and explain issues with clients and prompt in returning calls and messages. I would recommend him without reservation to those needing assistance in this field.

Robert Douglass, Esquire (Boca Ciega Bay Development Corporation)

Mr. Riedel's vast experience and credibility, along with his ability to get things done, are unrivaled. Whenever asked by other peers who I would recommend for workout representation, Mr. Riedel's name is the one and only name mentioned, and without hesitation.

Harley Riedel is a good practical thinker, can argue the law or the facts equally well -- always prepared and has great backup support.

Jerry McHale (McHale Properties Co.)

Harley Riedel is the consummate professional, and his standing in the eyes of the Courts and adversarial counselors is without comparison in this state, perhaps nationally. I was also humbled by the level of personal interest taken by Mr. Riedel in my case, particularly in light of the large numbers of high profile clients represented by him and his firm.
