Before I say our story, for those without the time to read, I will go ahead and say that Taracks & Associates took a 3 year minimum mandatory prison charge and we walked away with 3 years probation with early release. Every phone call to Barry gets returned the same day. All text messages get returned. All questions, he answers. You never question what is being done for you in your case, he makes sure you know. He started working on our case not even an hour after my husband’s release from jail. I feel incredibly lucky to have made him my second call. My first being to a bondsman. My husband was arrested for a road rage incident. Not understanding the full capacity of the charges brought against him. While driving home from work going about 60 mph a car pulled out of a parking lot and almost broadsided him, he had to pull into the median to avoid being hit. The other car just continued on as if nothing happened. Angered, upset - he followed the car, passed them and at the next red light got out of his vehicle to yell at them for what they did. At that point he noticed an old lady driving and an old man in the passenger seat who started yelling back at him. As it escalated the old man opened his door as if he was getting out. My husband not wanting things to escalate any more, pushed with his palm of his hand to shut the door, got back in his truck and left. Months later he was arrested and my second phone call was to Taracks & Associates due to their great feedback online. When I called they immediately wanted to know everything about the case. Name, charge, was he released yet, was he booked yet, what happened. From the very first phone call they were already putting a case and a plan together. They informed me that the second he gets released that we should go straight to see them. Not to waste any time at all. When we showed up at Taracks & Associates office, we were immediately met in the parking lot and taken into a conference room. That’s where we were told that his charge was felony assault on an elderly which carried a minimum mandatory sentence of 3 years in prison. Apparently the old man’s foot was in the door and he had called the police and went to see a Dr. who documented a “minor scratch” on the top of his foot. I myself broke down and cried. Although I was a complete mess, Barry stayed very well put together, sat across the table from us and stated “I won’t let him go to prison for this, don’t worry.” This was about the best thing that I could have been told. Because when I was told three years in jail was his best option at the moment, I felt completely hopeless and was 4 weeks pregnant with our first child. Barry informed us that although that was his charge, he was not going to waste any time getting the charges reduced before they were filled by the court. My husband’s first appearance was taken care of by Barry, we were able to go home and just try to calm down. Over time Barry held true to his word and was able to get the charges reduced. But that was still just the beginning of the battle. Every court appearance the elderly man came to and sat in the front row with his wife and got a victims advocate from the court. The victims at every preliminary hearing demanded jail time. The very last preliminary hearing, Barry made sure to get one on one time with the prosecutor to try and talk a deal that was reasonable. Barry then came to tell us the deal. The first deal that did not include jail or prison time. The plea deal was 3 years probation with early release. We were happy with that. We were able to leave the court room last week with me 9 months pregnant and feeling a huge weight lifted off of our shoulders. To go from 3 years of prison being our best possible outcome, to most likely having 1.5 years probation… Barry made a huge win. And it was not easy for him. The victims fought tooth and nail with him the entire way. There was no making them happy. Taracks & Associates gave my kid her first three years with her father. And that means everything.

I had found myself in a very difficult position and needed the services of a defense attorney for an attempted murder charge in the 2nd degree. I had chosen Tav Gomez of Taracks, Gomez, & Rickman. I cannot tell you how happy I am with the work of Mr. Gomez and the rest of the staff there at Taracks, Gomez, & Rickman. As a former prosecutor, Mr. Gomez has intimate knowledge of how to navigate the legal system and was able to discern exactly how to handle my case. More than that, as time went on, I know that Mr. Gomez actually saw me as a worthy cause to fight for. (Please just let him do what he does because he knows best!) I was looking at 30 years in prison and 10 years in prison would have been a great job for any lawyer, 6-8 years in prison would have been beyond exceptional and probably unheard of. But today, because of the delicate handling of my case by Mr. Gomez and the hard work of his staff, I am at home, free on probation to write this review. I am still astounded. I cannot owe enough gratitude to Mr. Gomez and Staff, and I fully recommend Mr. Gomez, and the firm Taracks, Gomez, & Rickman. Mr. Gomez saved my life and gave me a second chance.

I walked into Anthony Rickman’s office with an unwinnable DUI case (BAC/Property damage). After reading the police report, I literally burnt every defensive bridge he could use. To my surprise after the initial consultation he said we could fight the case. Mr. Rickman and his assistant Holli were great during the whole process before the trial. The professionalism and knowledge I witnessed ensured me I made the right choice. We communicated on a weekly basis and they gave me a list to complete of necessary tasks for my case. Once trial day arrived Mr. Rickman and the prosecutor spoke with the judge while the jury was on recess. From my point of view Mr. Rickman’s aggressiveness flustered the prosecutor who tried to revert to a case from the 1970’s. The judge ruled in our favor and I agreed to a Reckless Driving charge before the jury’s recess was over. I never had so many people say I was lucky in my life. Thanks to Mr. Rickman and Holli, I still have my career.

I had filed a divorce without an attorney to assist, thinking my ex-wife and I would be able to settle on time-sharing with our son. Which after a few months of our case pending, I got my visitations taken away due to the mother being unfair (not court order). Emailing Taracks Gomez & Rickman I got a response right away. My case went through mediation, which lead to trail. Frank was able to fight for my right and I will now get my son 50/50. I had so much fear walking in front of the judge, after walking out I called almost every contact in my phone with joy. I could not thank Frank Kernry enough , and express how much he has changed my life for the better. I now have my family back and the right to be the father I need to be will not be taking from me by another adult that has just as much right as I do. THANK YOU TO FRANK AND THE STAFF!!!

Barry Taracks literally saved my future! I was charged with felony trafficking; facing a 3 year minimum/mandatory sentence, or whatever the state so chose to give me as a sentence. The process was 14 months of uncertainty; It was definitely taking a toll on me & my family. The odds were stacked against me….. I must say, Barry was exceptional in the courtroom. He was well prepared for all proceedings & this man knows his stuff! I put all my trust in him, we went to trial to fight it, & Barry Taracks was able to get all charges dismissed. Without Barry as my attorney, I really do not know what I would have done. My advice: Listen to him, trust him… He knows the law, and also knows the system. He is an OUTSTANDING attorney. I highly recommend Barry Taracks. He has compassion; I feel like this guy really cares about others.

I was recently arrested at a Bucs game on a simple battery charge. I was defending my brother after he was assaulted by a group of belligerent, drunk fans yet I was still arrested. After the arrest, I felt very stressed and anxious over the whole ordeal. A friend recommended I consult with Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman. I am really happy I did! I chose to have Frank represent me after speaking with him and realizing his grasp on the law. Frank acted quickly, contacting the State immediately and was able to convince them to drop the charges against me within a week! Frank was confident and very knowledgeable which was very comforting during such a trying time. I will be recommending Frank and the entire Taracks Gomez & Rickman team to all my friends and family. Thank you again, Frank. I am in your debt.

Being involved in a child custody case could be a very scary and stressful time. Having the right attorney plays a huge part not only on the outcome of your case, but also on getting you through day by day. I have recently finished a custody case that was a year and half long, and I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney than Frank Kerney. I have good things to say about him: He answered my questions at any time of the day, any day of the week even outside office hours. He remained patient with me even when I didn’t. He kept a great positive attitude during the case without setting unrealistic expectations. He guided me with great advise which led us to a successful final. If you are looking for an ethical and professional attorney this is the guy you want to work with.

Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman represented me on a case recently that went to a hearing before a Judge and was dismissed! Frank was very professional, easy going, and did everything in his power to help me with my case and to make the judge rule in my favor. There was a technical problem on the day of the trial and I was able to walk away with no penalties!! I will definitely recommend Frank to anyone i come across that is looking for an attorney to help them fight their case. God forbid something else happens to me in the future, but if something does, at least i know of someone who will fight for my freedom. I cant thank Frank Kerney of Taracks Gomez & Rickman enough! Thank you!

Barry Taracks recently helped me with a DUI case. My experience with him over the past few months has been great. He is extremely knowledgeable, always available on his personal cell phone to answer questions, and exudes this feeling of confidence that really makes you feel better about placing your faith in an attorney. He never misled me, always making me aware of what was going on but then explained what he was doing to help move my case towards a more favorable outcome. The outcome was reckless driving and some probation. I could not be more excited. Choosing any other attorney is a worse decision than the one you made to need an attorney in the first place.

was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm after a domestic dispute. This entire matter was a complete misunderstanding. My family reached out to Frank Kerney while I was in jail and he came to see me right away. He represented me the next day at a bond hearing and was able to get me a bond so I could be released from jail. He then explained the facts to the prosecution and was able to have all charges against me dismissed. I am so thankful for the decision to hire Frank and the team at Taracks Rickman and Associates. Outstanding team, hope to never have to use them again, but I will not hesitate to call them if I need to. Thanks again Frank..

Frank Kerney represented me in my divorce case. During this time, Frank and his office staff were wonderful and very knowledgeable. My case was handled quickly and with ease. Frank was available to answer any questions quickly through email or by phone. His office staff was extremely helpful in my situation. They are professional and make you feel comfortable that they will handle your case without difficulty. I would recommend Frank to family and friends. I was extremely happy with the service I received at Taracks Gomez and Rickman and wouldnt hesitate to call Frank if I needed him to represent me in the future.
