Posted by anonymous | January 03, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Nice guy, but unreachable.

Mr. Simon came highly recommended but sometime around July 2018 the wheels fell off the wagon. I am unaware of what happened. I hired him in 2017 to get an alimony reduction after my retirement. He was pleased to take my case but by December 2018 I was still in the same position as I was in 2017. ... He would not return messages at all. He was truly a missing man. I’ve dismissed Mr. Simon. I’ve asked him to return the unused portion of my retainer. No response to date. Like a previous reviewer I have contacted the Florida Bar.

Orlando Legal

This is the worst law firm in the country. Mr. Simon charged me an enormous amount of money for a love one immigrant case. He presented himself as an aggressive lawyer, who has knowledge of immigration law. After I paid him a down payment of $5,000.00, he turned the immigration case over to a new l...awyer who joined his firm. The respresentation was a disaster. I fell like I took over $10,000.00 and throw it out the window by using this law firm. This law firm lack experience and knowledge about immigration law. The lawyer make a lot of mistakes on the case. The person they represented on the immigration case was deported out of the country due to multiple mistakes made by this law firm. The judge and the immigration prosecutor on the case saw that the lawyer did not know what he was doing, and they ran ring around him. Simple, the judge made a mockery of this lawyer and sent him on a wild goose chase. The judge had the lawyer filing things with immigration that were impractical. Sad indeed. Please do not waste your money with this law firm. I made one of the biggest mistake using this law firm. Truly a living nightmare this law firm!!

Missing lawyer, missing money

I hired him and the Orlando Legal team. Apparently, there was a bankruptcy? I left him emails and phone messages at his personal contacts provided by the new firm in the original office. He hasn’t responded to me. I’ve reached out to the FL bar and am filing a complaint. I have no clue what has been ...done for my divorce, where my case stands, where my money is (several thousand dollars) , or where he has disappeared to.

Poor experience and disappointment

I met Jonathan for a consultstion - he presented himself as the go-getter attorney. I hired him to handle a mediation and he took payment. Jonathan showed up for the mediation meeting, but dropped everythting thereafter and would not respond to calls or emails from me or the opposing counsel. He wa...s very passive and quiet - and barely said anything during the mediation. I felt unrepeesented. Needless to say, I am very dissapointed I had to go through this and spend money for services that were not provided.

Very Dissapointed

I hired Jonathan to handle my divorce case in part based on the overwhelming positive reviews on this website. Jonathan was very friendly and knowledgeable in our consultation and I got the impression he had a firm grasp on my case. Unfortunately, throughout the process i got the feeling my case wa...s at the bottom of his to-do list. I had to push to get information about my case...we really only had communication when I reached out and requested a meeting or phone conference. In fact, the majority of all communication in my case was between myself and the business valuation expert (I had to pay for separately) which ended up handling ALL of the case financial information which i thought was part of Jonathan's job. Jonathan was never the aggressive attorney that really fought to get the best deal for me. We were able to settle the divorce in mediation although Jonathan did not have much input throughout that process either...I left mediation with the feeling that i had handled it myself and probably walked away giving up a lot more than I should have. After reading the previous review I had no clue Jonathan was changing company names or switching companies or whatever is happening there so that may have been part of the issue. Bottom line is Jonathan was not a cheap attorney but i feel like my case did not receive a reasonable amount of attention for any cost.
