Highly recommend John T. Poland

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Poland when I needed to recover funds from a former employer. The process was daunting, but he made it seamless and stress-free. From our first contact, he explained the legal steps clearly and was always responsive to my inquiries. Mr. Poland's expert...ise in employment law was evident throughout the process and resulted in a quick resolution. He was successful in helping me recover the full amount owed. If you're looking for an attorney who combines professionalism with a personal touch, and who gets results, I highly recommend John Poland.

Answered my legal question with honesty and kindness

I was referred to Attorney John Poland by the Florida Bar. He contacted me the same day that I was referred to him and set up the soonest appointment that was convenient for me. I asked Attorney Poland a legal question on behalf of my boyfriend regarding language requirements for employment. Attorne...y Poland answered the question with honesty and kindness. Ultimately, my boyfriend decided not to take any legal action, but that decision was made easier due to Attorney Poland's knowledge.

My Request

Mr. Poland returned my call promptly, listened carefully to my story and repeated what he heard me say right back to me. Assurance that he listened and understood the situation was a relief in itself. He then asked me what my hoped-for results would be and helped me hone in on certain laws that he ...could leverage for the case. Mr. Poland only asked for payment after reviewing the case, giving me experienced advice and giving me verbal examples of what he would write. I was able to review the document he wrote and have it ready for an important meeting before the week was out. I highly recommend speaking with Mr. John Poland.
