Que nos abandona en los juicios y nos cobra sin hacer nada del trabajo no es profesional

Mi recomendación es que jamás en la vida contraten a este supuesto abogado muy lindo para fotos y medios no tiene nada de profesional me sacó en mayo 2025 5000 mil dólares luego en un mes después otro 5000 mil dólares y siempre te tenía con amenazas que abandonaría el caso y el 23 de noviembre 2025 m...e sacó otros 7300 dólares presentó todo mal mi demanda civil y por su causa la otro parte me puso una contra demanda el abogado de la otra parte mía le decía todo el tiempo que quería que presente las evidencias cosas que le había dado ya al sr mauricio en septiembre 2025 nunca presento nada nunca dió importancia a mi caso y ya teniendo evidencias de mis pagos en fecha y de enviar todo lo que pedía evidencias documentos presentó una misión diciendo que dejaba mi caso en pleno primero juicio mío alegando que me me atrase en mis pagos que es mentira y que nunca entre todo lo que pedía la otra parte para un juicio tengo pruebas suficientes y le voy a meter una demanda en el colegio de abogados este tipo de personas solo se aprovechan de las personas vulnerables por favor gente cuidado a la hora de contratar a este sr mauricio padilla

Exceptional Litigator!!!

Mr. Mauricio Padilla of Padilla Law gave me his 100% in handling my case so at least I can now do my part in acknowledging his professionalism. He explained about the whole process and what was going to happen with my case and what was my next step I immediately knew that I have found the right f...irm. We scheduled our meeting at his office and went through my case thoroughly. Mr. Padilla answered every question or any concerns that I had regarding my case with complete professionalism at any given time during these unprecedented times. After that, Mr. Padilla constantly stayed in touch with me through phone and via text as well throughout my case. He was so efficient in his work that he would always get in touch with me in order to update me about my case rather than me chasing him in order to find out what was going on. I never once had a doubt or a feeling that I was in wrong hands or being misguided. I felt that sense of security working with him which is huge if you ask me. I would highly recommend Mr. Mauricio Padilla to represent you. Thank you Mr. Padilla for your services.

Mauricio Padilla is a crook

Mauricio Padilla robbed a single mother of $5,000 in a family law case. He quit after filing the initial paperwork in my case and refused to refund any of the $5,000 retainer deposit. Mr. Padilla refused to return my phone calls and failed to communicate with me on the case. Only after I emailed him ...threatening to contact the Florida Bar did he resign. He was unprepared and failed to follow through on things that he said he would do. I think he is used to working with criminals and treated me as such. I have since heard from other attorneys that Mr. Padilla has done this to other clients as well.
