This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Lacked care and consideration of timing

I submitted an intake for a time sensitive EEOC issue and did not receive a response until 36 days later, consuming almost half the deadline threshold. I don’t recommend this attorney for time sensitive cases.

Terrible experience

Hired this attorney recently and regretted it from the start. He screamed at me, threatened me, and generally just belittled me. I called the FL Bar to file a formal complaint but decided it was not worth the time. I would never, under any circumstances, hire this attorney. He is an egomaniac. He is ...unprofessional.

What a joke!

I had a case that after speaking to a paralegal at Mr. Pollards firm assured me that he would be interested in and would contact me the following day. A few days went by and I was told again that he would contact me the following day. Another week later I made another call just to be told again that ...he would call the following day. Months have gone by now and still no word from Mr. Pollard. Don’t waste your time!

High hopes

I was terminated in 4/2020 due to a one year non complete contract from a previous employer. Mr. Pollard was highly recommended to me and I was so excited to do what I could to fight back. I quickly retained Mr. Pollard and paid $500 for him to review my paperwork. As an unemployed single mother, thi...s was hard but felt worth it for his help. I finally got a call from Mr.Pollard, after following up for a response, he had me repeat my situation, as if he never read my paperwork, and suggested that he would request a waiver for my release from the contract. I was so excited to hear that and after writing another summary for Mr. Pollard and hearing nothing for weeks, I wrote him again. It turns out he did nothing. He finally just said to allow my waiver time to run out. And what did I expect him to do when he was working pro Bono. I never asked him to work for free, and in my opinion I paid him plenty for hardly any work. I was and am still confused with the outcome. I paid $500 for a quick phone call with him where he promised efforts that he never made. This was over a year ago, and I have moved forward but I don’t want anyone else to have the false hope I did.

Unmatched excellence

Jonathan Pollard and his team represented me and my company in multi-front, high stakes, bet the company litigation involving various non-compete, tortious interference and false advertising issues. There were at least five or six related cases. It was the most complicated business problem and litig...ation that I’ve ever encountered in my entire career. He solved it. As in he literally solved the entire problem; resolved the entire litigation; and saved our company. Pollard is only 35 years old and is hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever known. He knows the law cold. He understands all the business side concerns. If he didn’t already own a successful law firm, he’d be running a Fortune 500 company. And for as busy as this guy is and as hard as he works, he always made time to take my calls or talk with me when I had a problem or a question. Mornings, nights, weekends, whenever. It’s not just that Pollard is a brilliant lawyer. It’s that he really cares. This guy is not only our lawyer for life, he’s like a brother to me. He’s the real deal.
