A lawyer who truly works for his clients!

Attorney Fortuno and team came highly recommended (by another great attorney ) as an attorney skilled in handling complex situations and personalities. They are utmost professionals and truly strive to get the best outcomes for their clients with the least amount of fees possible (even returning extr...a money not used from the trust account). I quickly learned he had great intuition and experience that I needed to trust which led to my divorce being settled quickly and for far less expense than it could have been. They work quickly and efficiently and most importantly are excellent and timely communicators (even working and having zoom meetings when out of country “on vacation”) I am extremely happy with the outcome of my divorce and recommend Attorney Fortuno 1000%.

Worst attorney ever

This lawyer does not have a lot of experience. He is super cheap., which is an incentive, but he pursues his own personal vendetta’s against other attorneys. It seems like he is a professional, but he is not. The lawyers that work for him .. leave . He has new support staff at every other month. ...He brags about being a former law-enforcement officer and private investigator, but to be quite frank, he’s not a good attorney … because he has an ego

As an attorney, I am constrained by the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar from responding in detail, but I will simply state that it is my belief that the comments present neither a fair nor accurate picture of myself or the firm. This review also appears to be the comments of an opposing party, and not a current or former client.

Excellent!!!!!

Brandon and his team are literally THE BEST. I worked with two cheap attorneys before I found Brandon and I got exactly what I paid for which was representation that didn’t care, didn’t put the time in and didn’t fight for me. Brandon‘s previous experience as a police officer and private detective... were very helpful in uncovering all of the hidden assets in my case. Brandon always worked to try to get my ex and I to settle outside of court rather than rack up more fees and unnecessary cost. That really stood out to me. Every hearing that I had with Brandon on my side, I felt safe, I felt like he was fighting for me, and I felt like he actually cared. His team was absolutely a pleasure to work with even through the gruesome things such as gathering financial affidavit, and a ridiculous amount of documents requested by opposing counsel. I could not have been happier with the service I was given in my extremely difficult case. I worked with Brandon for almost an entire year and he never got lazy. He never slacked off. He always gave 100%. Thanks Brandon and team!!!

Dishonest money grubber

Will lie and waste time to take more money from his clients and if you point out his mistakes he will drop you as a client

Family lawyer | Aug 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Brandon called me to introduce himself after he was hired to represent an opposing party. From the outset, I knew that that I could trust his word, and that we would work well together. Brandon showed a depth of knowledge about the law and was always willing to answer calls and messages for fine tweaking of a final stipulated agreement to dispose the case. Brandon's professionalism, and the obvious trust his client had in his work, allowed us to reasonably resolve the family law matter without unnecessarily wasting our client's time, money and emotion. I highly recommend Brandon. He is a pleasure to work with, but also poised and ready to battle it out when called upon to do so."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
