Best attorney in Jacksonville

To whom it may concern, I am writing this review after having the pleasure of Mr. Cobbin representing me in two civil cases. I came to Mr. Cobbin late in the first civil case with a hearing scheduled within three days. He immediately went over the case, made calls to necessary individuals a...nd court representatives. He stayed in close communication with me and appraised me of any changes or issues that arose. At the hearing he met with the plaintiff and then with me. He instructed me to be completely honest when queried by the Judge (i.e., going over likely dialogue scenarios). He assured me that everything would work out as he had intimated. He stated the ruling will most likely be one of two scenarios. Once the Judge ruled it was for the favorable scenario number two as he foretold. He did not stop at that point; as he still pursed various and sundry court filings that assisted in the true closing and dismissal of the case ex post facto. In the second case (dissolution of marriage) I served as the respondent. Mr. Cobbin picked this case up in media res as both parties were pro se litigants initially. Prior to that he had informally guided me on filings while I was pro se prior to me hiring him to take the case. His hiring was a fortuitus decision as the case, due to my counterpetition, became exponentially more difficult and complex. Mr. Cobbin would make it standard practice to meet with me periodically to go over case information/developments, strategize, and map out the direction we would move to bring the case to a final resolution. From initially taking on the case to the successful mediation it was apparent that Mr. Cobbin is an elite attorney practicing in Jacksonville. In both cases, he was open to my ideas and feedback. In summary, Mr. Cobbin possess a unique mixture of professionalism, knowledge, dedication, and a caring attitude. From the very first consultation, Kevin Cobbin made me feel heard, respected, and confident about my case. He explained every step in clear concise terms, kept me updated, and always responded quickly to my questions. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation made a stressful process so much easier. Thanks to his superior expertise, we achieved a better outcome than I ever expected. I highly recommend the practice of Kevin M. Cobbin Attorney at Law, P. L. to anyone in need of a dedicated and compassionate lawyer.

Integrity

He took 11k easy and play games. His office is McDonalds, and he will tell you quick all he has to do for his basketball team and his family. He does not keep his word on nothing but taking your money. I had to fire him! I tried going by his office he has listed and he has no office. I was tol...d by him I could not get a refund. I would’ve never hired an atty who works from a McDonald’s. To this day he still has not explained my 11k! Texts don’t lie, and I will be reporting him to the Florida Bar.. if a lawyer is not BBB accredited, they don’t care about integrity. Kevin Cobbin I don’t /wont recommend.

Believe In Fighting For Your Freedom

Attorney Kevin is Knowledgeable and Caring. He let me know what I needed to help plead my case. I cooperated with him in a timely manner so he can help me as much as he can. He returned my calls and messages in a timely manner which shows me just how much he cares. I will hire him again and agai...n if I need to.

A Real Fighter - Informed, Connected, Smart

I am very satisfied with my lawyer, Kevin Cobbin. He is very well informed, connected and smart. Most of all - he cares! I first heard about him 10 years ago through another prominent Attorney here in town. At the time, I wanted legal representation from someone that I could relate to and they had to... be a FIGHTER. I will attest Mr. Cobbin is both. Over the years, I've gotten to know lots of Attorneys in town and no one else, in my opinion, has the level commitment and dedication to his clients that Kevin has. Yes, I would strongly recommend to anyone in need of solid legal advice or counsel.

Doesn't fight for your freedom take money and doesn't care

I hired him for my husband. My husband had to tell him what to ask for. He barely return calls it seems like having a public defender. He only calls you a day or two before court you go in blind sided. I don't see the way he do people he can tolerate to look at his self in the mirror and it doesn't b...other him. I don't recommend him he only cares about his freedom.
