Adriana Carolina Clamens

I retained Adriana Clamens and her firm for over two years in a civil case (El Ghoul v. Fitness International, LLC). Without any prior notice, warning, or effort to resolve communication issues, she abruptly withdrew from my case using an “emergency” motion that even admitted in a footnote it wasn’t ...an actual emergency. This maneuver violated local administrative rules and ensured I had no opportunity to prepare, respond, or replace her before upcoming court deadlines. Despite the court granting a 20-day window for me to find new representation, Adriana made no attempt to assist with transition or case file delivery, which is a clear duty under Florida Bar Rule 4-1.16(d). To date, I’ve never received a full copy of my litigation file, just a temporary, expiring link sent weeks after the deadline had passed. What’s worse is that she continued representing me in unrelated business matters after claiming an “irreparable breakdown” existed in the main case. This contradiction shows the breakdown was tactical, not real. She refused to respond to my written requests, ignored repeated inquiries, and failed to act when her firm tried to re-engage me under new, coercive contract terms that tied my personal case to my business and increased the hourly rate. Because of these actions, I missed critical court deadlines, was treated as a “pro se” litigant without consent, and my case was ultimately dismissed without any fair hearing. I have submitted a formal Florida Bar complaint documenting every communication, filing, and professional failure involved. I do not recommend her or her firm to anyone seeking professional, ethical, or dependable legal counsel. My experience was one of obstruction, silence, and total disregard for client obligations. My experience reflects a complete disregard for ethical standards, client protection, and professional responsibility.
