REALLY PUTS THE "HACK" IN HACKWORTH

By far the worst lawyer I have ever worked with. Motions had basic facts of the case completely wrong, poor grammar and typos, and bizarrely refused to submit crucial evidence. It actually felt like he was paid off by the opposition. Strongest possible recommendation to avoid. Will definitely be repo...rting him to the bar and pursuing civil actions for a full refund. Jon Hackworth didn't just waste my money, he actively worked against me every step of the way If you're looking for a family law attorney and need a real fighter in your corner, do NOT hire this man. He won't listen to you, he'll do his own thing, and you will lose. And he won't even blink. Genuinely shocked this disgraceful amateur still has a license to practice.

Don’t waste your time

Horrible representation and poor performance. Was never prepared nor did he follow up as he said he would. He actually made the case worse that what it started out to be. Would not rehire.

AWFUL FAMILY LAW LAWYER, IGNORANT TO FLORIDA LAW

It is apparent in my case that this fella is scared to go to bat for you. He is way too sensitive and shies away from being firm and purposeful when the opposition makes obvious missteps. In my litigation, he thinks of himself instead of working for me. It has been made clear to me that he is not ...very familiar with Family Law here in Florida, and possibly anywhere because he refuses to pursue gross violations of said laws. It's quite the contradiction because he thinks he knows everything which is evidenced by him not wanting to listen to anything I have to say. Perhaps he is better at DUI's, DWI's, and traffic law, I wouldn't know. All that I know is that for me, it was a HUGE mistake to hire this lawyer and the cost was twofold: overpriced fees and the biggest cost, a lost case. My advice, keep looking.
