Robert J Black

<<< DO NOT USE >>> Absolute horrible experience. After paying over $32,000 for services, he never show up to the Final Hearing and the judge gave me a terrible ruling. Since I wasn’t aware of the hearing, I didn’t have ability to appeal. Then, five months later he finally drafted a Motion for Modifi...cation which he said that he filed. HE DIDN’T, and 14 months later I had to file it and it wasn’t a correctly written motion which failed in court. Also, he doesn’t respond and avoids you. Seek another attorney! I have reported him to the Florida Bar and a pending case against him is in the process.

I am completely dissatisfied with his "representation" of my case. Upon our initial consultation he seemed willing to fight for me and I foolishly trusted him. He would tell me "dont worry I'll handle everything" after I delved a lot of personal information relevant to my case. He failed to represen...t me and fight for me. He was extremely hard to reach. Everytime I would call he would either be "in court" or it was a "bad time" and would promise he'd call me back at a more convenient time. There were tons of emails that I sent without so much as a response. He is a very unprofessional attorney who just shoved my file under desk paperwork. I had finally gotten so fed up that I fired him and was still presented with an invoice for services that were not rendered. SEEK ANOTHER ATTORNEY FOR REPRESENTATION! HE IS THE WORST!

I have been waiting for more than 2 years for a case to go to family court, and nothing has been done yet. At the beginning I thought he was going to be great, but after more than 2 years waiting, I am fed up. It is all about Money with these lawyers, he charged me a retainer fee of $3000, and let me... tell you, it has been nothing but headaches and stress. Nothing has been done! I believe $3000 is a lot of money and it has gone to waste.

My family lineage is filled with honest, decent and caring lawyers. Upstanding persons in their communities with ethics beyond compare. I am proud of that lineage and, despite lawyer jokes to the contrary, have always held lawyers in high esteem. Purveyors of truth and justice, and staunch advocates ...for their clients. Quite sadly, Robert Black has tarnished this perspective. If I ever again want to spend thousands in return for poor representation I would certainly contact Black.
