What Our Clients Say

Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Robert Eckard & Associates

Great experience working with Mr Eckard . Very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure dealing with the people here. The front office staff (Jody B) is exceptional with her service and demeanor!

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.
