Life Saver
Mr Tawil took my case 3 years ago . A very serious case with very serious consequence. As my case unfolded Mr. Tawil started to get a clear picture of self defense and or stand your ground. With the help of his legal team they were able to present my case to a jury who by God's good graces and Mr. Tawil and Keele Karentino excellent presentation . I was found not guilty on all charges. They as a team saved my life. I can't express my gratitude enough to these two maverick of the judicial systems. Thank you very much.

Cannot say enough good things about Jordan
I had a recent case that came up over late summer of 2022 that involved boating and was arrested by fwc . I immediately sought out defense representation and interviewed several attorneys and was just uncomfortable with the responses I was getting until I met with Jordan . He was able to understand and dissect a lot of holes in my case right away during the consultation. His understanding of case study and perspective is outstanding . Not for one second did I ever think I was getting a cookie cutter run around just from another defense attorney or firm that just wants to grab your money and run . I made the choice to hire him for representation which I’m glad I did because he went work right away . Jordan is very calculated and aggressive in his defense preparation and presentation. He has great relations within the courts ie judges , prosecutors etc and seems to be very respected within that realm ….Jordan is also very good at communicating with you through the entire legal process as it goes through the court , and helps you understand a lot of the jargon that’s being used and why it’s being used , that you simply may just not understand on your own . The case was resolved very favorably for me . If you’re seeking outstanding representation look no farther rest your case in Jordan’s hands and it’ll get handled with great care .

Determined and reliable
Someone had recommended Jordan Tawil to us as he was working on their case which had extremely successful results. My fiancé was facing a 25yr mid man for drug charges. Once we got Jordan on the case we talked about what we were looking for and he told us what was possible. He was very communicative, understanding, determined, and flexible during this process. If we did not have Jordan on this case we are most certain it would not have went the direction it did. We are thankful to Jordan for getting us an amazing deal that resulted in treatment & probation instead of prison

Highly Recommend
I had a case that I needed expunged and although I have ARAG through my company to pay for most attorney fees, I was referred to Jordan and because of his willingness and persistence to get it done, I chose him out of network to help with my expungement case. He handled everything in a timely manner, he didn’t delay in sending me what was needed to get back to the court. He communicated well through text and email and always responded back in a timely manner. He followed up with the progression of the expungement and was able to end up having a zoom meeting with the judge and it was all approved and the next day I received my expungement letter from the court. Jordan made everything so easy from the start and I would definitely recommend him if you are needing an attorney!!!

Court dates after motorcycle wreck
I was recommended Jordan through a mutual friend after getting in a motorcycle wreck three days after moving. I received some traffic tickets and he handled the case expertly. I did not have to go to court to contest the tickets and they were dismissed thanks to Jordan, and much to my relief. I recommend him to anyone I know looking for a lawyer and would gladly work with him again if the opportunity arose.

Great Job
Jordan helped me with a legal matter in Pasco county. Arrested on Christmas day 2020. Jordan took my girlfriend's call, and arranged bail. Jordan walked me through the entire process. He arranged a more than reasonable settlement. I'm happy to have Jordan as my lawyer. I will refer him in the future.

Justice!
He took the lead on a protest related charge I had and handled everything for myself and another protestor who were wrongfully arrested. Jordan was easy to work with, explained or sent guidance so we/I knew what was going on and helped us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Jordan and anyone he is associated with to handle your legal matters in an easy to understand, graceful, dignified, honest way.

Outstanding performance
I was in desperate need of help with litigations and at the last moment with a court date approaching Mr.Tawil saved my life with his outstanding performance and professionalism. He was very understanding and most of all affordable. I appreciate Mr.Tawil for soothing my concerns about a cliche lawyer who's strictly about monetary gain because, I feel he treated me like I was more than just another case. He treated me as If I was a family member of his and his life depended on the outcome of my case. I Thank Mr.Tawil so much for his dedication and support. I will always look to Mr.Tawil and his colleagues in regards to guidance on litigations from here on. Thanks again!

Engineering & Operations Manager
I hired Jordan after a friends referral, as I was at a loss of whom to trust after my arrest for this misdemeanor traffic offense. My employment was on the line as I drive for my company daily . Jordan was very thorough in explaining all the steps and best options available to me along the way with his excellent knowledge of our court proceedings and expectations. He made sure I was asking the right questions that would give me the best outcome, always keeping me aware to protect myself. As I have extremely limited knowledge of how our courts operate, he was very patient in explaining the process multiple times. He made himself available at any time when I had a question. Last , he did get my sentenced reduced, saved my job and gave me the best possible outcome given my situation, Much appreciated!

Top Notch!
I Contacted Jordan to help me with a traffic citation. He went above and beyond my expectations and I had a wonderful experience. After hearing the details about my ticket he explained my options. He worked very hard and was able to get my ticket dismissed. He set very clear expectations and followed up frequently throughout the process. I can’t thank him enough. I will hopefully not need him again, but I feel better knowing I can count on him.

A Lawyer That is Truly Dedicated to Helping You
I hired Jordan to help me with a traffic citation I received. Given my not so great driving history and Jordan's knowledge of the judge presiding the case not being the most lenient towards individuals with multiple infractions on their records, he presented me with multiple options on how to fight the case. In court, he fought to get the result I wanted. Overall, I'm very happy with Jordan and will recommend him to anyone that needs his services.
