Collaborative, Experienced, Honest I just completed my divorce, represented by Johnny Bardine, and he's a rockstar--professional and strategic but still kind and collaborative. I trust him completely, and I’m so grateful for a fair and relatively painless divorce process and settlement. I should also mention that he’s the best value you'll get for your dollar. Worth every penny.

Quick Fast & Efficient Johnny helped me through this time in my lifeby making things progress very smoothly and in a timely manner! I'm a single father of two so financially as most at a time like this cash flow is limited and he worked with me and no other law office's wouldn't so Kudos for that Johnny. Lastly Johnny was professional and also personable and someone I could relate to so that made things seamless. Thanks again for everything, to everyone that helped finalize this.

Top-Notch & Efficient Johnny Bardine has been my counsel on various legal matters, all of which have been resolved to my great satisfaction. His work is focused and efficient, and to the point. He quickly grasps key issues in a matter, synthesizes complex information, and explains approaches and options clearly. His counsel is always appreciated.

Gary -

Exceptional service Johnny Bardine was a beacon of hope to my son and my family at a time our options appeared limited and the likelihood of satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Not only was he able to relief my son from an outrageous child support order but to made possible the opportunity for my son to spend time with my grandson. His empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to my son and my family. My don and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Johnny Bardine without reservation.

Elsa -

What a great experience He is definitely going to work hard for you and keep you well informed about everything going on. As well as always be available to answer your questions at any time. That was the greatest feeling ever to always get a response which doesn’t always happen. I personally thank him for everything that he did for me.

Chanique -

Last minute prenup Johnny Bardine jumped in to help me out with a very last-minute situation when no one else would. I can’t say enough great things about Mr. Bardine including his efficacy and his kindness in assisting me. Thank you!!

Lorelei -

Thorough and Reliable All attorneys are the same. Kidding, of course they're not. Bardine has a big brain - he thinks about a lot in a short amount of time. And he gets it done. He's helped my company on several occasions, from leading projects to wide-ranging consulting, always offering sound perspective. We've also worked with him on community endeavors (hey he cares, which is nice too). Whether it's a negligent accountant costing you money or just a piece of mail you don't understand, give Johnny a try.

Quality Attorney Johnny is a fantastic lawyer, very professional and knowledgeable. He is very prompt with communication, which is very rare for a lawyer. I would recommend Johnny for any family law needs.

Alexis -

Excellent Family Law Lawyer I’ve hired Johnny 4 times. A divorce and 3 DVIs and he succeeded all expectations.

Jennifer -

BEWARE I attempted to use Mr. Bardine for a bankruptcy that I was thinking about filing. Mr. Bardine charged me 2K and never helped me futher. Never filed a single paper for my case. He just sent an email with instructions. He then started to promise to pay me back. This was eight months ago. I have reached out to him multiple times through several outlets. Only to have him say he would remedy my situation. Please do your due diligence before engaging Mr. Bardine.

Ariel -

Best in St. Pete Johnny is my attorney and has handled everything for my divorce. He is smart, engaged and everything he has advised me to do has been the exact right thing.

One of a kind From start to finish Johnny was awesome! He was easy to talk to, quick to respond to emails and calls, and always had my best interests in mind. He truly cares about his clients. I can't imagine going through this whole process with anyone else!

Shondra -

Very professional No body ever plans to get a divorce, but when it happens, there are questions and need for direction. Mr Bardine and his staff were very professional and helped me. They were with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend the Bardine Law Group.

Craig -

Great experience! Reasonable, friendly, and trustworthy This was my first lawyer experience. I am hopeful that it will be the last. However, if the other shoe drops, Johnny will be my go-to guy. I immediately felt comfortable with everyone I spoke to. Great experience overall!

Krista -

Informative, fast, caring, knowledgeable and aggressive. Johnny is excellent at what he does. I went through a very fast, and painless divorce thanks to Johnny. He definitely knows his stuff, and stays on top of things. I never went into any of the steps taken, without knowing exactly what would happen or be said. He helps prepare you mentally, and emotionally. He is a great guy, I would 100% recommend Johnny.!

Crystal -

Family Law Attorney Johnny was referred to me from a friend when I was looking for a new attorney to handle a relocation petition with my child’s father. He was very clear with me as to what to expect as we walked through the process in our initial meeting, both in how to attempt a settlement and what would happen if we ended up in court. We ended up working through a very long trial together and through the entire process I felt that his entire team was there for me. They were amazingly prepared for trial, did everything possible to prepare us for what to expect, and continued to communicate with me as we waited for our outcome. I would happily recommend him for any family law issues.

Meredith -

Custody case Johnny and his team were very knowledgeable about the custody and real estate laws surrounding my case. They were very responsive to the questions I sent them and we're always very friendly in their responses. They always informed me of any updates to my case and I felt confident in their recommendations for how to proceed. They handled all of the legalities of what to file and when and I did not have to worry about any of that getting done timely and properly. In the end, my case was resolved in mediation which was great. I felt like Johnny and his team truly wanted to help me and wanted the case to be resolved as quickly as possible to save me time, money and minimize my stress.

Deidre -

Great experience and highly recommended Johnny is a quick communicator and very accommodating to the numerous questions I had throughout our experience. I could send an email late in the evening and I almost always got a response the same night, if not, the very next day. I hope I never require the services of a lawyer again, but if I do, I'll be using Johnny again.

Robert -

Great help for parenting plan Helpful and available. Made dealing with a difficult family situation manageable. Brought great incite to me during this time and made making well informed decisions easier.

Laura -

Quite satisfied Johnny is a young family man. Who is very considerate of his clients . He listens to their wishes. All in all I was quite happy with his services : I would Hate to require a lawyer again. But if needed I would retain him. Judith

Judith -

All the way from California... We live in CA and were being sued from FL. We felt pretty vulnerable having to choose a lawyer from another state to represent us. We looked on this exact website to try to find someone we felt wouldn't take advantage of our situation. From the reviews we read we chose to go with Johnny Bardine. He and his secretary were on top of things right from the start. Johnny kept us informed by phone calls and e-mails as needed and handled all of the paperwork. Right before the case was to go to court it was dismissed. Of course, we were relieved that it was dismissed, but had the case gone to court before a judge, we felt comfortable that Johnny Bardine would have represented us well.

Jorge -

Johnny is the best Johnny is simply amazing. I hired Johnny to help in my custody case and I must say I'm much happier now. Johnny is great with communicating and keeping me to date. If I ever had a question all I needed to do was shoot him a quick email and I have an answer usually within the hour and at latest the end of the day. Anything that needed filed with the court was completed and filed quickly so if we ever got stuck waiting it was because the other side was not so efficient. When you talk to Johnny you feel like your talking to a friend and he'll never get you lost in complicated legal talk. Overall I couldn't be happier with my choice to hire johnny. Great attorney.

Scotty -

Law Office of Johnny J. Bardine Johnny kept me informed and was knowledgeable through a tough time and continues to be there as I navigate a foreclosure. I am thankful for his guidance.

Mary Lynn -

Great real estate lawyer I recently ran into some financial difficulties with my rental property and was underwater. Johnny not only gave my knowledge of my options but guided me through the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy. In the end I short sold my property and couldn't be happier with the results.

Tim -

I found my lawyer for life. Johnny has drawn up several contracts for my businesses. He's always been attentive to my needs; ready and available with suggestions that will better benefit the negotiations I needed in place; and prompt with delivery of those services. I feel I have a trusted friend on my side. I will recommend Johnny to all of my colleagues.

Whitney -

GREAT LAWYER I've been a Realtor in the Tampa Bay area for 15 years. I've used many Lawyers and I can tell you, Johnny Bardine is the most honest and fair lawyer I've ever worked with. He sets very clear expectations and always comes thru. He has handled more than 10 cases for me so far this year and they ALL have had a positive outcome. He ALWAYS responds in a timely manner and always follows thru. I truly think he does what's best for the client in the most affordable way. JUST A GREAT GUY!!

With his knowledge and expertise he has been able to save our home.....we are extremely grateful.

Shannon -

Highly efficient and engaging I retained Johnny in a foreclosure case. Thanks to his excellent and well-timed legal maneuvers, the case never came to fruition and I was able to sell my house. Because of Johnny’s personable demeanor, I felt totally at ease explaining a problem that was very embarrassing to me. He reassured me that I wasn’t alone and that he had my back. I put my total trust in him and never once doubted that decision. I’ll recommend Johnny to anyone for any legal issue

Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed with any and all updates with my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that needs legal representation. Johnny is down to Earth and overall a great attorney.

Courtney -

Excellent service from Mr. Bardine Mr. Bardine and his right-hand-paralegal Rachel did everything they could (and should) have to done to make sure that my case was handled with care, efficiency, and timeliness. Mr. Bardine's treatment towards me both professionally and personally made me feel confident that I made the right decision. If you ever find yourself up against the wall and need help, skip the rest and call the Law Offices of Johnny J. Bardine. He helped me when no one else would. Thanks for your great service Johnny!

Wes -

Highly recommended Johnny Bardine has been my attorney on a couple of different cases, one that has been settled and one that is ongoing. He notifies me if there are any updates in my case and explains the meticulous process at every step. He's easily accessible, even on weekends. If I send him an e-mail or call him, he gets back to me almost immediately. He is a savvy negotiator, personable, genuine, honest, kind, patient and still manages a sense of humor. In retaining him, I have felt more at ease knowing that he is taking care of everything. I've recommended him with confidence to my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so without hesitation

Shannon -

Highly efficient. Highly effective. Strongly Recommend. Mr. Bardine is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable in his field, he always keeps you inforned, and knows the system very well. He was able to collect quickly on a debt that we were certain we would never see again. I highly recommend working with Johnny.
