Thomas L Gurrola

Hired Tom in 2019 very bad mistake. Me not knowing much about divorce law. I was rushed in his words fee's are adding. I signed the final Judgment not knowing I was paying alimony until retirement. On top of that ex wife remarried last year and I'm stuck paying 1500 per month to her and her new husb...and I'm the laughing talk around Jacksonville. Ex wife had a free attorney to take her case. I lost all the way around dealing with Thomas. who was paid. Not saying he's a bad Attorney, but he walked all over me. I had three mediations of 900 dollars I had to pay for every single one at his advice. Now stuck paying 1500 per month until I retire to my ex and her new husband. Thanks Thomas you really screwed my entire life up.

I reached out to this attorney regarding your child custody issue he sent me an email and I responded to him with a phone call, but I was only able to speak with him briefly as he advised me that he had a meeting, but he advised me to follow back up with him at a later time. Once I followed up with h...im, he was very rude and condescending. He yelled at me saying I should’ve hired him when I first spoke with him. His tone was very unprofessional and very rude. This attorney lacks professionalism and care for any potential clients. I would never recommend him.

Hired and paid up front for un-contested Paternal Guardianship. Incorrect packets, repeated mistakes on documents, information sent about someone elses child in a different state, failure to educate himself in Paternal guardianship, convinced us process would move expedentially, absence of comunica...tion, ostersized if we had a question, and put us on a path to no where! Requested a phone call and he was out of control with anger and hung up. He took our money and delivered NOTHING! Hired a legit attorney and completed the process under 2 months. People like us trust and pay for representation to handle sensitive matters. The only thing that went quick, was Thomas Gurrola taking our money! All of the statement above are facts! There is proof in the pudding, and we have a ton of pudding!

We had an extremely complicated child custody case with another attorney at the firm. I was coming from another state, and my ex, the mother of my child was in prison. We had to start from scratch as my name wasn’t on the birth certificate and there had been no DNA testing. My ex was extremely uncoop...erative and after two failed mediation’s, our case went to trial. At this point in time, our attorney quit the firm on us, with no warning. Tom reviewed our case and picked it up before trial- and he was very quick to learn the specifics and complications of our case. Tom and Jill answered all our questions and explained things in detail. Very good communication and a high level of professionalism. As trial preparation came near, Tom and I had several meetings and was very honest about potential outcomes. Tom did a great job of preparing me for trial and cross examination also. On the day of trial, Tom fought hard. Both for me and during cross examination to reveal the truth in all the situations that arose. Tom won my case, and he did exactly what we hired him to do. He was supportive and optimistic during breaks and kept the air light as to not panic me and I even saw him shake the opposing councils hand after trail and commend them for a job well done in court. Something I definitely did not expect. Thanks to Tom and the supporting staff, my family is complete. If I ever am in need of further legal help, this is where I will go. I definitely recommend Tom as a fighter and professional, respectful, honest, and hard working attorney.
