I normally don’t post reviews, but after my experience with Xander Law Group I believe other business owners should understand what working with Xander Law Group can look like. My company purchased a used vacuum truck from a Miami dealer called National Truck Center, which sells refurbished trucks... that originally came from fleets like Ryder and Penske. The truck was marketed as a ready-to-work vacuum truck. Within three days of owning it, the engine completely failed and required a full rebuild. The truck then sat for roughly six months while the engine was rebuilt. After trying to resolve the issue directly with National Truck Center, I contacted Xander Law Group to discuss whether I had a case. I was told the case was strong and that pursuing legal action made sense. Based on that advice, I retained the firm. What followed over the next two years was extremely frustrating. During that time I paid roughly $40,000 in legal fees while the case slowly moved along. Communication was inconsistent. Many times the only time I heard from Xander Law Group was when an invoice was due. After paying an invoice, we would suddenly schedule depositions or meetings where the same documentation would be requested again. I was asked for the same documents multiple times throughout the case despite having already provided them. At one point an invoice increased from roughly $2,200 to nearly $10,000 in a matter of days following a brief Zoom meeting. As the case progressed, the cost projections escalated dramatically. Eventually Xander Law Group informed me that moving forward with trial would require a trial retainer of approximately $70,000–$80,000 for what was described as a one-to-three-day trial. By that point I had already spent tens of thousands of dollars over nearly two years on a lawsuit involving a truck that originally cost around $150,000. To make matters worse, after additional mechanical inspections it became clear that the truck itself had deeper issues. The chassis, weight ratings, and configuration appeared mismatched for the size of the vacuum tank that had been installed. The truck suffered another major engine failure again in July and is currently being rebuilt for a second time after the underlying issue was finally diagnosed. In the end, after two years of litigation and substantial legal fees, the case resulted in a judgment for legal fees which I ultimately paid simply to close the matter and move on with running my business. Litigation is always risky and every case is different. But based on my experience with Xander Law Group, the process became extremely expensive, communication was inconsistent, and the outcome was the complete opposite of what I expected when I first retained the firm. Anyone considering hiring Xander Law Group should make sure they fully understand how quickly litigation costs can escalate and what the financial commitment may ultimately look like.

I hired him to assist me in a law suit over a year ago. I would call the office weekly asking for updates. I would be given the run around every single time. He was in court, or they were moving offices. When I finally got to speak to him he was annoyed and even used profanity when speaking to me. I ...have never met an attorney as disrespectful and unprofessional as him. I wrote him and email expressing my concerns and then he said I was impossible to work with instead of admitting his lack of communication. I would never recommend him and I hope No one ever goes through the waste of time and money I have gone through by hiring him.
