Handled my legal issues quickly and effectively

John is a very skilled entertainment attorney who quickly delivered for my entertainment agency. On any legal issues moving forward, I trust John Poland to be my "go to" to effectively protect me and my company.

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.

Terrible

John is an absolutely terrible attorney. He did not do anything besides file a charge for $3,000. Do not waste your money if you actually want something done about discrimination or harassment in the workplace. He is completely useless; it’s too bad I cannot get a refund. He only has 4 years of exper...ience and it shows;so I decided to go with someone with more experience who would handle my sensitive case with care.

Replied last August 12, 2024

Dear Sara, I am sorry to hear that you feel this way about our time working together. As your attorney, I dedicated several months to your case and took every step necessary to protect your interests, including ensuring that a potentially damaging situation at a public meeting was avoided. While I understand that legal matters can be stressful and outcomes are not always predictable, I am confident that I provided the best possible representation within the scope of our agreement. I also want to clarify that the fee charged was for the comprehensive work completed on your behalf. My decision to not continue representing you was made in your best interest, as I believed you would be better served by an attorney who could devote more time to the ongoing demands of your case. I wish you nothing but success with your new representation and hope that you achieve the resolution you are seeking.

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.
