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!

Thank You.

I don’t normally take the time to write reviews and although words cannot express my gratitude toward Gil Colon I thought I would take a few moments to say Thank you. I was recently in need of a lawyer to represent my son. After doing some research I picked what I thought to be the top three defense... lawyers in Polk County. I was looking for experience in and out of the court room, reputation (since I know a lot of people in Polk County I ask around), and maybe most importantly I wanted someone honest and to be personally involved in the case. I got all of this with Mr. Colon. After speaking with him for 5 minutes I knew he was the lawyer for us. We were honest with him and he was honest with us. He got personally involved and got the facts of the case. As a result all charges were dropped. From my experience, Mr. Colon is personable and yet extremely professional. So Gil, I hope I never need another lawyer but if I do, you will be my first choice even if I need to bring you out of retirement. Thanks again!!

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.
