Marco Cabra Experience we mr Colon

When you have family problems or people who are just looking to get you into trouble, the best solution to everything is to have a good, experienced attorney to represent you in any situation that may come your way. Mr. Gil Colon speaks Spanish and English very well, he represented me and helped me d...uring these 3 months in court. He was very clear in the whole process, and also the professional work team that works in the office, Mrs. Natalie and Mrs. Valerie are always willing to answer any questions and work with me at all times. Thank you very much. As I said before, representation from a good attorney with many years of experience and working with you is very important in a court case. Thank you very much, Mr. Gil Colon, for your support and help. I recommend The Law Firm of Gil Colon, Jr. for any problem you may have. Thank you very much.

Greatest person on planet

I met Mr. Colon at a very difficult times of my life. I was charged by a poorly educated polk county sheriff’s deputy with a bad felony. This crooked cop has lied and faked evidence. Mr. Colon exposed all of it. From the first day he offered me a free consultation to the day my case got dismissed, I... lived a worry free 2 years, even so facing with up to 25 years in prison, just knowing Mr. Colon is my guardian angel. I really feel myself insulted by those whiners claiming Mr. Colon does not communicate enough. My short answers to those whiners is, you pay the guy to do a job for you and offer you peace. You don’t pay the guy to talk to you. Please hire a mental health counselor or some sort therapist for the matter if you just need to talk to someone. I met the most gregarious and the most concerned human for his clients in Mr. Colon, the most professional and most respectful human I ever met in my life. Mr. Colon will not rest until he gets the best of the best for his client. Highly recommended, very affordable for the work he does. Thank you Mr. Colon and god bless you, your family and your wonderful team I met in your office

Attorney Colon fights aggressively for his clients!

Mr. Colon has helped me and many others in and close to my family in court and we have always seen nothing but the best results! He helped my brother in a difficult time of his life and prevailed in court, going up against strong prosecutors and fighting them all to help my brother. In the end my bro...ther was a free man and we are still in disbelief that Mr. Colon went above and beyond for our family. We recommend him to anyone in need of true aggressive representation. His experience and professionalism, integrity and determination for his clients is unmatched!

Just amazing!

My husband was arrested with a vop we thought since it was his first violation he’d get reinstated we’ll no the state wanted him to do 270 days in jail followed by a 3 month program just like jail. We hired Gil colon 14 hours before court. He showed up not only got my husband released but probation t...erminated and he is a free man! I would recommend him over anyone!

Don’t be scared to go to trial with Mr. Colon by your side.

Mr. Colon is aggressive and very professional. We took my case to jury trial and by all means I have no faith in the system, therefore I honestly thought I was going to lose and have to go to jail for a year. Mr. Colon believed in my innocence and fought aggressively & professionally. with that being... said the jury came back with a non guilty verdict! We won! Mr. Colon is the real MVP!
