Mr. Gorman is an exceptional attorney, my mom wD facing some bogus charges and he made it possible for the charges to be dropped so that my mother didn't even have to step foot in court. We will definitely recommend him to others. Thank you Mr. Gorman for what you do!!

This guy is more than a miracle worker. he is highly respected in the judicial system as a whole. The court was not coming off 15 years and he got me 4. He is very professional, he goes to bat for you and there is no better lawyer than Jeff Gorman.

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.

Unfortunately I needed an attorney but lucky to have received the best!!!
I could not have asked for a better result, after utilizing common sense with the district attorney, (to no avail) I hired an attorney locally with unfavorable results after a year, and in the 11th hour I hired Mr. Gorman. OH MY GOD!! I Could not believe the results Mr. Gorman achieved. Completely satisfied. Hopefully I will never need an attorney again, but if I do Mr. Gorman is the first person I will call!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
When I first spoke with Mr. Gorman regarding my case he calmed me down and told me not to worry. Within 5 days my charges were DROPPED!!! I read other reviews and someone said Jeff was and he is definitely something magical.. Unfortunately the highest amount of stars on this review is 5 because he deserves WAY MORE than that.

Magical!
I now know why Jeff T Gorman is such a busy lawyer who seems like everyone in the courthouse is utilizing for representation...after coming out of my son's sentencing, I was able to witness the fruits of his labor. Not understanding the judicial system places one at a disadvantage in terms of knowing what to expect. Jeff, on the other hand, is an absolute expert in navigating this system, negotiating, and advocacy. My best advice is to trust in his expertise, ask questions, and allow Jeff to work his magic. Calm and reassuring, he helped dispell all my concerns. He delivered above and beyond my expectations and placed a mother's heart at peace. Thank you Jeff, to you and all your awesome staff who answered my multitude of questions. You were sent by the good Lord to help us. Without reservation, I recommend this busy lawyer....he will protect you too. Much appreciation, C and G

Highly Reccomend
Since I was 19 I have used Jeff for any uncomfortable situation I ran into with the law. Mostly for traffic criminal charges & even a DUI. I have used him on several occasions through out the years. Needless to say he has never disappointed me. He is very good at what he does. Friendly, effecient, and aggressive when it comes to defending you. I wish him the best he is awesome!!!

I went to Mr. Gorman's office with no hope left in me
I retained Mr. Jeff Gorman's for a criminal matter in St Lucie County. When we first met he listened to what I said, never took notes and was very casual. I was very confident in his ability from the first few moments we met. I have a long criminal history, the best offer the States Attorney would give was 3 years prison after Jeff Gorman got them down from the maximum sentence of 5 years. Jeff suggested we try to fight the case rather than accepting such a lengthy prison sentence. His team of paralegals spent over a year deferring my court appearance and worked on a motion to suppress the evidence. I took a plea at the hearing of the motion almost 2 years after my arrest. I was given two years probation, no classes, no tests and an immediate driver's license reinstatement. After only 5 months on probation my probation was changed to administrative probation as I have no restrictions ordered by the court except supervision. Now I call in once a month, pay the court and probation fees and I'm going for early termination in just 7 more months. This was my 6th time being charged with the same felony, with 3 trips to prison on my record. Jeff and his staff are the best I've ever worked with, he is honest, straight forward, no punches pulled and the best attorney I know. I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges RP Vero Beach FL

Nothing short of Exceptional
I went to Mr. Gorman as a last hope. I was represented by another lawyer in which I did not feel was taking my case serious. I was facing up to 30 years in prison and felt like I deserved a fighting chance. And that's exactly what he did. He fought for me. I felt as if he was representing a family member. He was determined, compassionate, and nothing short of exceptional. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and Jeff Gorman will help get you there. I owe my freedom to him!

All charges dismissed!
I had four misdemeanor charges and a no bond warrant. That was no problem for Jeff though! He acted quickly to get me out of jail the same day despite the no bail warrant. He even got all four charges dropped at the same time as my first court appearance. I highly recommend him. A++++

Arrested in Houston, TX for a Bogus Charge in St. Lucie County
This was/is unquestionably the most trying time in my life ! I was pulled over in Houston for not using my turn signal while changing lanes and the next thing I knew I was Handcuffed and taken to the Harris County Jail. Ten days later I was shackled and placed in an un-air conditioned metal box and driven 3 days to St. Lucie, Florida where I had never been in my life. I didn't have a bond until I arrived in St. Lucie and it was $50,000 on each charge for a total of $100,000 like I was some deranged homicidal maniac on 2 Bogus Charges stemming from false accusations . Needles to say that I was freaking out ! Mr. Gorman came and met me in the Jail and Immediately calmed my nerves and told me that he has arranged a Bond Reduction Hearing for the next day on a charge from 2011 that was 5 years old at the time of arrest. He was able to have my Bond reduced to a more reasonable price. Upon release and back home in Houston he said that there isn't a case and the Prosecution can not win this case and to be patient. After 2 years of completely disrupting my life the Prosecution finally Nolle Prosecui ! Mr. Jeff Gorman did EXACTLY what he said he was going to do and then did it at a VERY reasonable price. God Bless Jeff Gorman !

Great lawyer!
Jeff Gorman took my case at a very reasonable price. He did everything he said he would do and so much more! I was looking at a fellony charge which held a significantly large amount of jail time and Jeff was able to get that charge lowered to a misdemeanor. No jail, and still have my job. Jeff far exceeded my expectations. Best lawyer!
