Disappointed

Hired Jay back in 2017 to place lien on ex’s property to obtain back child support when sold. Just found out lien was never recorded by Jay. Property is being sold soon so I will not get the money that should be awarded to me.

We lost our home because of him

He was unprepared, uneducated about Florida law, and he charged us double what other attorney's do. He did refund half our amount paid, but he still lost us our home.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
