Jorge Luis Gonzalez

Yo lo busque para el tiempo compartido con el padre y para el Child Support del niño. El primer día te muestra todo muy bonito, todo lo que supuestamente va hacer, porque tienes que pagarle por adelantado. Después no hace nada a tu favor, todo es en tu contra, todo lo pone negativo, te sientes que no... es tu abogado que es el de la otra persona, te obligaba a tomar decisiones a favor de la otra persona, como madre me sentí desprotegida con mi propio abogado. No defiende para nada el bienestar de tu hijo. En la cita antes de la corte tienes que repetirle todo porque parecería como que no sabe nada de tu caso, no le dedica tiempo a tu caso y lo peor es que te está cobrando por repetirle de nuevo todo y el cobra 400 la hora. Sus empleados también son iguales, te hacen ver que es está haciendo algo por tí, pero al final no está haciendo nada. De verdad que sola te defiendes mejor. Si lo escojes tienes todas las de perder, aparte de que no hace nada a tu favor, siempre le vas a quedar debiendo, pide mas fechas a la corte para conseguir más información, pero cuando vas a su cita no ha conseguido nada, pero si te cobra, te divide el día final y te sale conque tienes que pagarle 4,000 dólares si quieres que vaya a la cita final. Lamento no haber leído los Reviews antes de escogerlo todo lo que dicen malo, es verdad, totalmente verdad, porque todo lo que leí después fue lo mismo que me paso. Sales mejor sola. Cero profesional. El día final de mi corte fui sola, los jueces son personas humanas y escojen lo mejor para El Niño.

I had a very easy case to resolve in court related to my divorce and child custody. This lawyer appeared to be very confident and knowledgeable mane asked me for a lot of money which I paid immediately. On court he was very weak , shown not knowing details of the case and no determination. My case wa...s lost and not is very complicated . After I fired him he sent me an extra bill for $800 saying that was office expenses. If u want to loose your case and waste your money go for this incompetent lawyer

I hired this attorney for a simple child support and custody modification, but he took 2 years to resolve my case, I had to call The Florida Bar to file a complaint and that's when he decided it was time to work on my case. He only cares about his retainer fee and his attorney's fees from both s...ides. My experience with Mr. Gonzalez and his staff was a nightmare and unless you want to waste your money and time hire this attorney.

When I first met Mr. Gonzalez seemed to be interested in my case, to help me....he sounded knowledgeable, experienced, and expensive. I left his office very happy to say the least, I was sure I made the right choice. What a surprise! His way to get me prepared for my alimony case, a super important... event in my life, happened on a phone call, nothing like he said, "we were going to meet and review everything first". If I did not call his office not even that phone call would had happened. The day of our hearing he told me we will get together an hour before the meeting to make sure we are all in the same page, guess what? he showed up 7 minutes late, I thought I was going in by my self....we had to wait for him. Let me add that his office called me to make a payment, it had to be paid before Mr. Gonzalez showed up to court. During the trial, my ex-wife got very sentimental, her acting was great. I asked Mr. Gonzalez if I too should show my true feelings to the judge, since I was being punished for being a good husband and provider, he said NO. Mr. Gonzalez was quite most of the time, my ex-wife's attorney really kicked his butt, I mean all over the court room. After being all humiliated, embarrassed, he told me these words, "we lost because she cried, got very emotional in front of the judge". Sometimes expensive does not mean the best, like in this case. After we lost, that day he wanted me to pay the balance I owed him, another 5 hours, and about $600 to get a copy of the transcript to look for defaults the judge made. Not only this has caused me to loose an important case in my life, but it has depleted me of funds I use for my daily life. I have a strong feeling I could have done a better job defending my self with honesty and more integrity. Please, do not hire this attorney if you have an important case to defend. Alimony reform needs to happen now.

I went to seek representation from Mr Gonzalez regarding a case where I was seeking custody of my children due to years of the mother neglecting the children's needs. He is personable unlike his Bird Road staff super incompetent and unprofessional. He asked me for a retainer I paid it and we continu...ed. He represented me throughout the case until the end when I received temporary custody of my children. Which I received them due to the mother not appearing to the hearings and lack of compliance with the judges rulings . Which was not in anyway due to Mr. Gonzalez's performance in a court room. My reason for this review is to educate other before making an error In retaining this lawyer. His firm took advantage of me / client at a crucial stage of their case. Their practices lack of follow through and moral work ethic is a joke and extremely frustrating.... I called his office over twenty times (for three seperate issues about my case) informing them I needed their assistance with NO return call ever! Now that the mother is trying to fight for her children back by obtaining another lawyer and he now has to do some real litigation he threw me a curve ball and billed me over $3500.00 in legal fees and a new retainer to be paid in 7 days! When I received my itemized bill the retainer had been exhausted 3 months earlier. I questioned his office on why they didnt inform me of the retainer being exhausted prior so i could setup a payment plan? That is poor pay roll issues on his end and due to their error I now had to pay this large sum instead of a fraction.. He himself couldn't even call me back when I went to speak with him in person at his office to question what had happened. Instead they removed themselves as my representation before the deadline of payment leaving me in a real bind after all my efforts to obtain timeshare with my children. I wouldn't recommend this law firms services to my own enemies.
