Case Review with No Real Insight or Follow-Through

​I hired Jeremy Gordon in 2025 to do a case review for a 2255 motion. The process took much longer than expected and longer than he initially told me it would. When I finally received the review, the result was extremely disappointing. It was essentially just a recap of what I had already told him ab...out my case during our initial conversations. He didn’t even reference anything from the extensive case timeline and communication logs I had compiled and shared with him. He also spent a significant portion of the review focusing on a single point I had brought up, which, in my opinion, shouldn't have been the anchor of the case review. ​Despite all of this, I still offered to retain him in conjunction with another firm, especially after seeing a successful case they had both worked on. I recall him agreeing to this arrangement, but it was followed by complete radio silence. ​I am deeply disappointed because I thought a Black attorney would fight harder on my behalf, but I was sorely mistaken. It felt like a waste of the $2,500 I paid for the review. While speaking with other confined individuals, I've heard anecdotal comments about Jeremy; one person asked if he was the attorney who "just takes people's money," and another mentioned he just "throws things against the wall." In my opinion, throwing things against the wall isn't necessarily a bad thing for a 2255 motion since you only need one argument to stick, but the lack of effort and follow-through on my review was unacceptable. ​The only reason I am leaving two stars instead of one is that Jeremy and his office were at least accessible during the review process. This is more than I can say for another attorney I retained who went four months without speaking to me, didn't discuss arguments before drafting motions, and made me feel like a burden instead of a client. However, it's possible this accessibility was just a tactic to make me feel valued to get my business, only to send me to the back of the line once I paid. I don't know if the experience would have remained positive had I fully retained him, but based on the review phase alone, I cannot recommend him.

Case review and 2255

Very rude and unprofessional. Hired for case review and 2255. During initial conversation he was very nice and explained everything that he could possibly do and the processes. After receiving payment his attitude changed, he became very rude and unprofessional when notified. On one occasion he hung ...up in my face and his office manager answered when I called back saying that he was in a meeting when I had just spoken to him on the phone. DO NOT HIRE!!!!!! Do not waste your time nor money.

This Attorney is a Fraud

We hired And paid Mr. Gordon to conduct a review of my brothers case to see if he qualified for a 2250. Mr. Gordon promised results within 30-45 days. This did not happened and over 5 months later we had to contact him only to find out he never conducted the full case review. He never sent us the ...documentation that was promised. And just told lie after lie. We inquired on getting our money returned since he did not do what he was hired to do. He became very unprofessional and continued to make excuses. This attorney is a solicitor which he is not allowed to do. He solicits persons in jail then takes your money never to produce any results. Please please do not hire him. He has no experience with federal cases whatsoever and will make promises that he can not keep. He is also difficult to reach and will give you the run around and empty promises.

More than a touch of class!

My son is in a very difficult legal situation, with only one hope of having his sentence adjusted. Needing advice, I filled out the online contact form at the Law Office of Jeremy Gordon. Within two hours, Zachary Newland, Senior Litigation Counsel, called to discuss the case. We spoke at length and ...he advised me to obtain an expert opinion on a relevant toxicology report before deciding whether to hire an attorney. Who does that? As it turned out, the toxicology report was not helpful for my son’s case, but Mr. Newland took the time to read it and give me an honest legal opinion; this was likely a losing case. Not very many attorneys will spend that much time with a person without a retainer or some sort of payment. Even when I offered to pay for Mr. Newland’s time, he declined.

Crooked lawyer

Just like the previous reviews say DO NOT WORK WITH THIS ATTORNEY! He also charged my family 10k and didn’t do crap for us but provide us with a whole lot of false hope. He preys on families that are affected by the criminal justice system and gives them false hope and empty promises. He’s compassion...ate until you pay, and then is non-responsive after the fact and does bare minimum for his clients. He carelessly and impersonally emailed us that we lost the appeal after years of fighting, didn’t even bother to call and when we emailed him for more assistance he just refused to help and asked for more money and just became non-responsive. He is Deceitful, and just cares about money. Perfect example of flaws in our justice system. It’s so sad that these are the types of people in these positions.
