Family 34%

In 2010, Family Law changed considerably in the state of Florida. I was lucky. And so are my clients. I entered the field right when the new laws were enacted so I learned the practice from the 'new' beginning.

Criminal Defense 33%

I can handle any kind of criminal case. They are all defined by specific elements that must be proven by the state beyond a reasonable doubt. They only differ in their facts.

DUI and DWI 33%

My practice has since 1996 been dedicated to helping those charged with criminal driving offenses such as DUI, Driving While License Suspended, etc. Since 2010 I have added Marital and Family law to my repertoir.

creepy individual

Avoid this man...from the weird angry smile frozen on his face (while listening to my to the unsettling story of my case during which i was ASSAULTED ) to the inappropriate comments and touchy-feely vibes in his "free" consultation--just gross. I was so uncomfortable being alone in a room with him--...three times i had to redirect the conversation to why I was actually there bc he kept making inappropriate comments. Definitely not a healthy individual, more like a red-pill narcissist. (He suggested my assault may be have been related to what i was wearing). Just disgusting

This is a fake review. Written by the same person as “Matt,” “Rob”, and, of course, “anonymous” below. The syntax is the same. The writing style is the same, even the “attitude” is the same. And, I have not had any clients with those names in the last ten years. My record over 32 years and my reputation speak for themselves. All you have to do is read all of my reviews and you’ll see how inconsistent this one and those three are with the other 99 percent of them.

lousy lawyer

I made a huge mistake by hiring this attorney. Of course he did a great job of selling himself in the initial consultation but as soon as I gave over the retainer he showed his true colors--he cost me a fortune through his negligence and failure to respond to orders, it was like pulling teeth to get ...him to respond to me during pressing matters, he overcharges and underdeliver. He's also tacky and unprofessional in a court room. His other reviews must have been written by his friends

Truly Unprofessional

I made the mistake of hiring this attorney back in February and it has truly been a traumatizing experience. I have never encountered a more nonchalant, disorganized, or ill-mannered individual in may life. He is completely unreliable, late to every call but will shamelessly overcharge you every ste...p of the way. Get ANYONE but him.

guess you HAVE to give a star

disgusting. Toxic, ambulance chasing bottom feeder without an ounce of class, integrity or bedside manner (bc idk who would et him near a bed), thievery embodiment of an il-fitting suit or used car salesman. Nauseating.

Hello "Anonymous." “The Florida Bar rules prevent me from commenting on your post other than to offer my regret that you didn't have an experience consistent with my reviews over the last 30 years. ”

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lloyd Golburgh is a superb lawyer. He excels in the three most important skill areas for lawyers. They are, legal knowledge, legal analysis and legal expression. It is rare that you find an attorney that has mastered all three areas and has achieved a "full package" lawyer status. I teach and lecture lawyers all over North America and rarely run across an elite level lawyer such as Lloyd. He has a great bedside manner with his clients and gets great results for those accused of Dui and criminal offenses in Florida."

"Lloyd is a fantastic attorney and certainly a go to guy when it comes to DUI cases in Broward County. Whenever I have a question regarding something, whether substantive or procedural, Lloyd knows the answer off the top of his head. I recommend Lloyd without reservation to anyone charged with a DUI--especially in Fort Lauderdale. He is definitely on the short list of the top DUI attorneys."
