Just Amazing
Greg is an amazing attorney and human being. Takes time to really listen to his clients throughout the litigation process. Always is available to answer questions and is really down to earth. He also knows the law and understands how to quickly and effectively litigate on his client's behalf. This gentleman is not like any lawyer I've ever met which is a great thing. My brother is a lawyer and I can't stand him :) Thank you for restoring my faith back into the legal profession. New lifetime client.

Mr. Gonzalez
I called the law firm on a Friday afternoon at 4:45 pm. I did not expect to speak with an attorney considering the time. The receptionist connected me to Mr. Gonzalez and he took the time to answer all of my questions with a very honest and professional manner. What I was most impressed with was his willingness to go through my situation in detail even though I had not retained his services. At no point did he attempt to end the conversation, in fact he made sure that I understood all my options and was aware of all the possible scenarios. I left my conversation with a much clearer understanding and well informed of the process.

Outstanding Advice
Mr. Light answered the phone and quickly understood my situation and advised me excellently to a solution that may not involve his services. He gave me recommendations and was more helpful than anyone I have been able to talk to. Please contact him first if you are in need of his services as I will do in the future. Thank you.

Greg was amazing with my case and he had the knowledge and calm attitude that really helped ease my anxiety throughout the process. He made me feel as though I was supported and had someone who was looking out for my best interest. The gratitude I have for his hard work and dedication to my case is hard to put into words.

Both Gregory Light and Anthony Gonzalez are true professionals. From the first time that I contacted Light & Gonzalez PLLC it was nothing but the most awesome experience. They represented me in regards to a home equity line of credit with a bank and I could not be happier with the results. Both Greg & Anthony were very transparent about their evaluation of my case and with their fees. Their fees were very reasonable and exactly as was originally given. They were honest and respectful and kept me informed every step of the way. They exceeded my expectations! I have no hesitation in recommending the law firm of Light and Gonzalez PLLC. I am very grateful for their excellent job!

Excellent Attorney!
Great lawyers that really work with you! I contacted Light & Gonzalez, PLLC because I was getting debt collection letters and harassed on the telephone by debt collectors seeking to collect on past due credit card and medical bills. Both Anthony Gonzalez and Gregory Light walked me through what my legal options were and informed me of my consumer rights so that I could fight back against these abusive debt collection tactics! Ultimately, I decided that filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy was my best option. Working with Anthony throughout the bankruptcy process was comforting and he was professional throughout the entire process. I have received my “fresh start” as I have now received a discharge of all of my unsecured debts! I highly recommend Anthony Gonzalez and Gregory Light and the entire team at Light & Gonzalez, PLLC for their thoroughness and professionalism! They are fantastic! I would highly recommend them! A+

Absolutely amazing attorney!!
Greg is the best attorney you could ever work with and I feel very lucky that I found him. He is very knowledgable, professional and at the same time empathic and honest. In contrast with most other attorneys, Greg takes your case personally and makes you feel like he is on your side. After many months of struggling with a foreclosure on my property in FL, I decided to look for a new attorney as I was fed up with large hourly bills and no results. I came across Greg and his outstanding team with great ratings and decided to give him a call. After the initial consultation, I was sure I wanted to hire him. I immediately felt like I could trust him and found a big relief from my long term stress over this case. And he surely did not disappoint. After carefully gathering all information and diligent research, Greg filed a fair depth collection counter claim against the bank. Given his resilience and skills, Greg managed to reach a settlement that I was happy with. I consider this a great victory! I absolutely recommend Greg and his team to anyone. Especially if you feel stuck or things seem so unfair, Greg will make sure justice is served. Thank you Greg again and again. You are the best!

A++ Consumer Finance Litigation Team in SOFL
I had a very positive litigation experience with Light & Gonzalez, PLLC's just recently in relation to my Consumer Debt. I contacted their office in Plantation, FL and spoke with Gregory Light and Anthony Gonzalez and presented my case. From very first day both Anthony and Greg were determined that my case can be negotiated in my favor. I have to say the outcome of the case was more than positive. The case conclusion was a combination of Anthony’s and Greg’s utmost work ethic, experience in law and most importantly their superior negotiating skills. I would have to say, if there’s anyone in need of help with their Consumer Debt, please do put Light & Gonzalez, PLLC's on your contact list. Both Anthony and Greg will provide you with top notch legal help and are very helpful attorneys. I want to thank both Anthony and Greg for advising me on every step of my case and it was a pleasure working with them.

YOU ARE THE BEST
Gregory we can’t thank you enough for not only doing an amazing job but also going the extra mile for us and believing in us, supporting us from day one and achieving VICTORY in this most complicated, messy, unseen Litigation case. Our hands were tied and there were few times where we thought there was no way out but trusting Gregory and his team and leaving him to do what you are best at got us walking through the 3DCA and running through the Supreme Court – AMAZING RESULT. We would 10000% recommend Gregory Light and he is not only the best out there, they he also cares for his clients. Gregory is incredible in his judgement, creativeness, knowledge and perseverance, analytical and research skills – Greg and his team just don’t give up until they active the victory. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST

Best attorney
Greg is a highly skilled attorney who will work hard and smart on your case. He is extremely ethical and fair and does a good, honest job fighting for you. He has experience at the US attorneys office and with his school's law journal as editor In chief. Greg is efficient and thinks of things other attorneys don't think of because of his superior knowledge of the law. Most attorneys will waste your time and rack up billable hours and it's hard to find someone who is good and looking out for your best interest. My only regret is not hiring Greg from the beginning of my case, but I only learned of him later on in my case and immediately hired him at that point.

Consulta de embargos bancarios
Vine a la oficina de abogados de Light & Gonzalez, PLLC en Plantation, Florida porque el demandante en mi caso civil de una deuda de una tarjeta de credito congelo mis cuentas bancarias. Estaba extremadamente estresada porque los fondos congelados de el Demandante eran los fondos que tenía que pagar mi renta. Gregory Light me explicaro todas mis opciones legales y mis derechos para luchar contra el embargo. Siento que realmente se preocuparon por mi situación y recomendaría sus servicios a cualquier persona que esté teniendo problemas para pagar a sus tarjetas de credito o que hayan dejado de pagar sus tarjetas de crédito o que hayan sido víctimas de una reposición ilegal. Mientras visitaba con ellos, también discutí algunos otros problemas de unas deudas médicas que tenía y me explicaron todos mis derechos contra las prácticas ilegales de estos cobradores de deudas que buscaban a cobrar mis antiguas deudas que tenían más de 5 años sin pagar. Me explicaron mis derechos por la Ley Federal de Prácticas de Cobro de Deudas (FDCPA), Ley de Prácticas de Cobro para Consumidores de Florida (FCCPA) y la Ley de Prácticas de Colección de Consumidores Telefónicos (TCPA). En su consulta, aprendí por primera vez que podía recuperar monetariamente de estas violaciones ilegales y que la ley permite la recuperación de los honorarios de los abogados de la parte perdedora si yo podía prevalecer en una demanda en su contra. Mientras los visitaba también me di cuenta de que podía sacar mi propio informe de crédito de forma gratuita anualmente. Me decepcionó que no supe esta información antes porque había llamado a una agencia de reparación de crédito y esa compañía me cobro $ 95.00 para retirar mis informes de crédito. Desearía haberlos llamado ANTES de haber llamado a cualquier compañía de reparación de crédito porque ahora me he dado cuenta de que es mejor consultar a un abogado de protección al consumidor para averiguar mis derechos con respecto a lo que aparece en mi informe de crédito que pagarle a una empresa de reparación de crédito que no son abogados. La mejor parte de todo esto es el hecho de que ofrecen consultas iniciales gratuitas. ¡Recomendaría sus servicios A+++!

Excellent Consumer Financial Protection Attorney - Highly Recommended
I contacted Light & Gonzalez, PLLC's office in Plantation, Florida as a result of my wages being garnished because of an extremely old credit card debt. I think that it is notable to mention that I had contacted a minimum of four or more attorneys prior to calling their office and each one of them had told me that I would be better off paying what was being alleged that I owed then fighting against what I believed that I did not owe against this debt collector. I then called and spoke to Gregory Light and Anthony Gonzalez, they reassured me that my case was important and it was indeed worth fighting. They met with me on multiple occasions and were prompt in responding to telephone calls and emails if I had any questions. They agreed to go to court and represent me on extremely short notice and at a price in which I could afford. Although, they never guaranteed me a result, it was their relentless pursuit of justice coupled with their diligent efforts in zealously advocating for me that I respect. Ultimately, the result was the garnishment against me was stopped and a refund of my needed monies which were being withheld by my employer were returned. If there is any individual who has debt collectors: send them letters, harassing them, calling them, suing them, threatening them or garnishing their wages, then I would recommend their services without reservation.

My organization is taking a huge step forward towards growth in a way that protects us and allows us to achieve our goals, and it's all thanks to their dedication and sound advice.

Attorney you can always trust and count on!
Light was recommended to me be by another attorney who said that he could not help me in my situation. When I contacted, I was amazed that I was connected directly to a real attorney. Greg & Anthony truly shined a light on my legal path by always keeping me informed on what was happening with my legal matter and explaining to me all of my legal options. Although they never guaranteed me a result, I was extremely pleased with the final outcome of my legal case. If you are looking for competent lawyers who will not strong arm you into selling all of your assets, then these are the legal professionals that you should call. I highly recommend his legal services!
