Worst attorney

Worst attorney, takes your money and does absolutely nothing. Then he shows up late to the court room not even knowing who or how his client looks like, tried to advise to take the worst first deal the court offered which was insane, the i refused and he had to go back a deal with it, then came back... but still I didn't take it, he had to go to work that day but I wouldn't put my future or money in his hands again. Beware

Posted by Jason | July 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Jeff Gorman is the utmost professional

I had first hired MUSCA law. I get an email the day before court saying the best they could do for me is 30 days jail. I wanted to call back to discuss, but my attorney could not talk because they had a hair appointment, she said she would speak to me in court tomorrow. I felt helpless, I immediately... went to google to find another opinion. It was after business hours, but Jeff Gorman picked up the phone. Jeff Gorman was there for me in court the very next day to replace my original counsel. Jeff Gorman saw clear issues with my breathalyzer and filed a motion to suppress. Jeff Gorman successfully negotiated with the state to drop all jail time associated with my DUI accident. This saved not only my career, but my professional license as well. Indian River County is probably the toughest county in Florida in terms of DUI penalties. If you find yourself in my position, I highly recommend that you choose Jeff Gorman to fight for you.

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 22

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. We have been opposing counsel on a number of cases when Jeff was a state prosecutor, and I have been able to watch as he has transitioned to criminal defense. When he prosecuted cases, I was assured of an opponent who took the time to delve into a case, learn it, and become ready for trial, yet be open to options for reasonable settlement. Now, as a member of the defense bar, I find him to have that same drive to zealously represent his client. He is ethical, knowledgeable, and an attorney of character."
