I have known Guy Professionally for 20 years

I have know Guy Fronstin more than 20 years since we were both at the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office as young lawyers. I can unequivocally recommend him for representation of Florida criminal cases. He is well versed in the law and well liked by his peers and respected in the legal commu...nity. Over the years I have referred him criminal defense clients who have been very happy with his services. Great guy - excellent lawyer.

Bait and Switch and then Abandonment

Three days before my felony case was to be assigned a court date Guy sent me an email informing me that he was withdrawing from my case, keeping my money, and informing me that if I couldn't afford a new attorney, I could request a public defender. I was forced to hire another attorney that day ...who was then given 45 days to prepare for a felony trial. Seven months earlier, I called Guy Fronstin because I was uncomfortable with my current attorney and considering changing. Guy invited Barry Paul into the meeting and introduced him as his associate. (Barry Paul does not appear on Guys website as part of his staff.) I told guy that there were several issues with my case that I wanted addressed but wasn't happening. In particular I wanted a trial and felt there was too much emphasis on taking a plea deal which I had already turned down. Guy assured me that if I fired my current attorney and hired him he would address the issues I was concerned with and offered to put this into my contract, as well as an agreement that we would be taking my case to trial and not be seeking a plea deal. Prior to drawing up the contract I sent Guy an email specifically stating that I would be hiring him and not his associate. Based on his assurances that he would handle the case and not his associate, three specific issues would be addressed, and we would go to trial in 90 days, I signed the contract. Sixty days later Guy informed me that he was assigning my case to Barry Paul. I reminded him that we had an agreement that he wrote that specified legal issues "he" would address. He insisted Barry Paul was going to handle the case and suggested I hire another Co Attorney if I was uncomfortable with Barry Paul. The new attorney he wanted me to hire was someone who quit his office a year earlier. I refused to hire the attorney who quit his practice and requested he honor his contract and represent me as he said he would when I paid him. Guy Fronstin abandoned the case through an email, three days before it was to be assigned a trial date. As far as I am concerned Guy cost me three attorney fees. The one I could have kept but Guy insisted needed replacing, the Guy Fronstin fee, and the Guy Fronstin's last minute replacement.
