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

Outstanding knowledge of Chapter 11

Mr. Gleason took the time to answer my question thoroughly. Unfortunately he is not local to me and could not take on my case. I would highly recommend him as a compassionate experienced knowledgeable attorney who excels at his craft. It is unfortunate that there are not more like him in the Jack...sonville/Saint Johns area.

My highest recommendation - Stand out advocate and outstanding resource

First, Kevin has proven himself eminently knowledgeable. I was faced with so many complicated issues and after wading through numerous incorrect messages (even guidance from local attorney), it was Kevin time and again that had the right answer. He does amazing research and spends the time to ensur...e he fully understands the question and its context. Kevin provided outstanding guidance, offering help where he could and deferring to me consulting a local attorney where required. He even looked up local court rules for me. He was kind, thoroughly read my requests, and gave accurate, complete, and informative answers. I have every confidence Kevin is an outstanding attorney and only wish we weren't separated at opposite corners of the country. Above all else, his compassion to help me, repeatedly, from across the country because he recognized my struggle, speaks for itself. Kevin is amazing and there is no question he would be amazing in direct representation. I highly recommend him.

Over the moon grateful!

I had a simple question regarding a car in regards to planning to file Chapter 7. My question was a simple one that no other attorney could or would answer for me immediately. All I needed was to understand the exemption situation and he explained it perfectly! Thank you!

Doing the incredible

He took an incorrectly filed bankruptcy case which was used to stop a foreclosure sale and got a hearing within 10 days of the filing to get it anullled and the sale went through. Fast. Efficient. And knowledgeable.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Public Reprimand issued in FL, 2013

updated on 10/31/2019

Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Kevin’s comment:

“I have complied with all requirements of the reprimand and remain in good standing with The Florida Bar and all Courts in which I practice. The term of the Judge who caused my issues has not been renewed.”
