Worse customer service ever

I had a phone consultancy with this team through my CLC and never received a call during both my scheduled times. The second time I called in reference to the first appointment, I was told I was never put on the calendar correctly. The third time I called in reference to my second appointment, and I ...was told the same thing again by the same lady that scheduled my second appointment.

Did not want to get justice for me.

Gordon Did an injury case and he refused to get me the justice I deserve. The lady that hit me and it was a major accident I crushed both my legs. Anyway the lady that hit me only had $10,000.00 pip coverage. He kinda forced me to take that $10,000.00 saying that's all I could get. Because of the Fl...orida insurance laws the no fault law. So I wanted to sue the lady that hit me he said it was not worth it because he said the lady has nothing to get. I was in nursing home for 7 months because and I lost everything. I found out after that I could have sued her and even if she has nothing because when I won I could have had judgements against her so she would not be able to buy a house until she paid me. Also with the judjement I could have petitioned courts for payment on my judgement anytime. And made her life miserable just like she made my life miserable. For doing what she did to me. Gordon refused to do it because it was not enough money for him. So Gordon does not care about justice because if he did he would have faught for me. He opted not to help me. So I use think Gordon was a good atty. But he showed me he is just a bad atty. It is sad because I liked him. And he did me wrong. I would not recommend him. I think he is only worried about his bottom line. And not his clents.

Kept My Crazy Family Together!

I came to Your Jacksonville Lawyer with a family in turmoil. We had an aging mother and needed to figure out the best options for taking care of her money, valuables, and real estate. None of us siblings could get on the same page when it came to figuring out the best plan. Your Jacksonville Lawye...r took the time that was needed to really sit down with us, hear our story, and listen to our concerns. Options were presented to us in a clear accurate way with plenty of time to ask questions. We thought about it overnight as a family and came back the very next day to sign the papers. It was simple and efficient! Our family got what we needed and my mother feels so much better.

100% Satisfied

Everything went better than I could have imagined! My consultation with Mr. Nicol was free & everyone in the office was extremely helpful & attentive to my needs. Mr. Nicol & his staff made me feel comfortable & assured me that they would do anything they could to help me. After the consultation I pa...id my retainer & they immediately began working on my case. The attorney was great about communicating with me & explaining things in a way that I could understand them. The outcome of my case was great & exactly what my family & I had hoped for. I GREATLY appreciate everything Mr. Nicol & his firm did for me & I will use them in the future as well as refer anyone I know to them. You will definitely get your moneys worth!!!
