Jessica Lynn Gimenez

The most honest review I can write about Mrs. Gimenez is to mention what she accomplished in my case. I was a stay-at-home parent for the whole duration of my long-term marriage (18 years), and my ex was the breadwinner parent making over 300k a year. I had no working experience in the US and my last... professional job was over 20 years ago in my home country. A consultant determined that returning to the job market would land me on a 40/45k-a-year entry-level position and the lifestyle during marriage required over 10k a month. Thus, with that information, any person with a little knowledge about the Florida family law would expect I would have received a good amount of alimony from my ex. What Mrs. Gimenez got me for alimony was 0$. Imagine how bad of an attorney someone needs to be, to get his/her client $0 alimony in a case like mine. Her response and comment to that result couldn't be more mediocre. She said "It's not my fault that the Judge is a bad Judge". She blamed the judge for the results of my case because she didn't even realize the mistakes she made to get that poor result. The only thing Mrs. Gimenez is good at is avoiding responsibility for her poor performance and lack of legal knowledge. Most of her responses to the legal questions I asked her during the divorce were untrue. And in all the opportunities when that happened, of course, she denied responsibility It took me just one divorce case (mine) to realize which is the most important information someone needs to have during the final divorce hearing and I won't ever be again at one final divorce hearing without that information, its details, and the proper supporting documentation. After representing clients in maybe thousands of divorce cases during her career Mrs. Gimenez hasn't realized that yet. I had too many issues with Mrs. Gimenez's performance to mention then in this review. Some of them would be that she made decisions without even consulting me which ended up putting my children and myself in some very difficult situations. Also, when my Ex filed for divorce she took my two older children away from home and alienated them. During the divorce, while I was being represented by Mrs. Gimenez my daughter turned 18 and soon afterward she realized was being alienated by the other parent and decided to come back to live with me. I shared with Mrs. Gimenez the details of what my ex has said and done to my children that were told by my daughter. The whole parental alienation situation could have been easily proven with my daughter's testimony but that situation wasn't even known by the judge because Mrs. Gimenes thought it was not important for the financial aspect of my case and she did nothing with that information. But in the end, it was very obvious she couldn't be more wrong. With Mrs. Gimenez as your attorney, you won't receive advice or information about the most important things and facts you need to know to get better results during the divorce. With her, there is no planning or preparation and you will find yourself even being surprised by your own attorney's questions during the hearings. Please don't make the same mistake as me and hire Mrs. Gimenez because you want to save some money since her rates are lower than other attorneys. Believe me, there are a lot of reasons for that. Remember the saying you get what you pay for. And at the end when you have to pay $15,000 to hire an appealing attorney for your case you will realize that it's a much better idea to hire a better and experienced attorney the first time. Another thing you should consider is to please ignore the many positive reviews you can read in Mrs. Gimenez's profile. Don't you make the same mistake I did by trusting those reviews. I have read them and those reviews don't match Mrs. Gimenez's performance in real life.

Hired Jessica back in 2018, had last minute notice of my emergency hearing, couldn't physically attend because of the last minute notice (that i should of had ample time to not only respond to but also attend). Then she proceeded to go to this hearing without the any of the proof i gave her to object... to the other parties claims. Aside from her lack of due diligence, she just didn't compare to the savviness of the opposing lawyer. Jessica was playing checkers, while the opposing counsel was playing chess. Also, she was my lawyer for 5 seconds and kept the full retainer.

Jessica Gimenez was recommended by my Great Aunt when she heard who was representing my ex Husband without any hesitation. My ex-husbands attorney has been known to play dirty to win, will even find out the judges favorite color to wear it the day of trial and uses a lot of scare tactics to break yo...u down. My Aunt ironically worked for this woman for 10 years if not longer if I can remember right. Sadly, My aunt has since passed. Back in 2016 Jessica represented me and they had to voluntarily dismissed the case. Jessica knows the law, she is smart and truly cares. She doesn't waste her time on the emotional hear say garbage because that doesn't hold up in court anyway. The law is the law period. We are back in court again in 2020-2021 although Jessica couldn't see me to the end due to my unexpected financial reasons during the pandemic, I would highly recommend her and will rehire her again once I am able!

I have been very lucky to have had Jessica's representation since 2012 and I can't thank her enough for all the professionalism , full knowledge and engagement with my case and also has been very reasonable with her fees. Its better not to need an attorney but if you do and you live in Ta...mpa , you must call Jessica.
