Jorge Luis Colon

Yelp Review of Jorge L. Colón, Esq. – Family Law Attorney (0 out of 5 stars) As the petitioner in a divorce and custody case that began in 2022 and remains active in 2025, I feel compelled to share my experience with Jorge L. Colón, Esq., who represented the respondent until his sudden withdrawal ...earlier this year. What I encountered was not simply adversarial lawyering—it was a strategic pattern of bad faith, deception, and disregard for legal and human consequences, especially where innocent children were involved. Mr. Colón is a licensed Florida attorney and, notably, a father. Yet despite his understanding of family dynamics and legal ethics, he repeatedly chose to weaponize the court process against me, turning the case into a financial ambush rather than a fair effort to resolve custody and parental rights. The best interest of the children—a well-established legal doctrine—was blatantly ignored. Early in the case, I met with Mr. Colón in person at his office and clearly informed him that the respondent had unlawfully relocated our minor children from Florida to California in January 2022, in direct violation of the UCCJEA. I later filed multiple legal pleadings referencing this unlawful act. Neither Mr. Colón nor the court ever addressed it. Instead, through silence and procedural maneuvering, they effectively supported the violation. Even more disturbing, every filing Mr. Colón submitted over the course of three years had one focus: my assets. Not the children. Not custody. Not reunification. Just property and money. The entire case was twisted into a blatant money grab, which only deepened the psychological damage already inflicted on the children through prolonged parental alienation. The most flagrant act of bad faith occurred the night before our scheduled trial. At 11:00 PM, Mr. Colón emailed me a last-minute proposed Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA)—mere hours before our 9:00 AM final hearing. I had spent weeks providing him with documentation in good faith. Yet minutes before trial, he and his client tried to renegotiate for more assets, completely undermining previous understandings. It was a manipulative, last-ditch tactic designed to pressure and confuse. Shortly after I filed a Motion for Sanctions and a formal complaint with the Florida Bar outlining his misconduct and ethical breaches, Mr. Colón abruptly withdrew from the case in 2025—citing “irreconcilable differences.” The timing makes it clear he left only when the threat of accountability became real. After withdrawing, he handed the case off to his friend and professional ally, Yessenia Rosales, Esq., of Lakeland, Florida, who—unfortunately for her—is mirroring his harmful tactics rather than correcting course. She, too, has ignored the unlawful relocation and focused singularly on asset seizure and procedural evasion. Jorge L. Colón, Esq. had the knowledge, authority, and moral responsibility to do the right thing. He failed on all counts. Instead of using his role to uphold justice, he used it to shield wrongdoing, enable the alienation of children, and prioritize financial pursuit over ethical duty. If you're a parent navigating family court, I urge you to beware. Legal knowledge in the wrong hands becomes a weapon. My case continues. My children remain alienated. But the record is clear now.

Went to this lawyer to help my brother. This lawyer is not a wise and fair lawyer, a fake, a sell-out. He does not listen to you and what you want. He makes his own decisions about your case. He encourages his clients to be untruthful, and he is not professional. He will take on a case knowing that h...e does know what to do, so he goes to his friends to get advice. He takes your money and does nothing. please watch this guy. he is not right.

I hired Jorge Colon to litigate my family case. During this time, I found Jorge Colon makes his own decisions when it comes to your case without running ANY explanations or details by you. You are walking in blind with this attorney. All of my evidence was handed to the opposing party before hea...rings. This gave the opposing party enough time to contact me to think up and make excuses for their behavior. I have an invoice where I was charged for Jorge Colon's attempt to get in touch with my previous attorney without asking me after he told me during our consultation he doesn't need info from him. I protested the charge and paid my previous attorney to release info and work with Jorge Colon. Jorge Colon then immediately withdraws from my case with the final hearing right around the corner and LEFT ME WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. After all the damage had been done and pre-trial statements were finished, I ask him if he could finish the case and he declines. Looking through similar reviews here and in different sites, I now understand that this is usual for Jorge Colon and his office. I DO NOT recommend this attorney.

After two lawyers, exorbitant fees and back- room deals to settle before trial, hiring Mr Colon was the best decision we made for our family in a custody case. His legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond our expectations throughout the course of the case. His whole approach togethe...r with his consideration and compassion went a long way during a most stressful ordeal but most of all he listened and he listened attentively and responded in a timely manner. He and his team worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on our behalf. We cannot thank you enough for your assistance, time, and effort and wish you continued success in your practice. We would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends or family members looking for an experienced family attorney.
