Mr. Ponce was very organized in my case. Whenever I had a question, he was quick to respond.

Hired Mr. Ponce due to a traffic accident I was a passenger in. He was professional and seem to care that I received adequate funds for future medical care.

Very committed and thorough

Rob Ponce helped me with an insurance claim from a car accident that lasted three years. He had to deal with numerous insurance companies and lawyers on my behalf and he was very professional, thorough and always had my best interest in mind. He made sure we were informed about the case every step of... the way, including any set backs and I really appreciated that. I highly recommend Mr. Ponce.

Went the "extra mile"

Mr. Ponce handled an auto accident claim for me where I was rear-ended. I initially tried to deal with the other guy's insurance myself, but after getting the run-around I contacted him so I could avoid the aggravation. He stepped in and handled everything with the insurance company and all my medica...l providers. After the case was settled and all the providers were paid, I found out that the payment to the hospital (from my ER visit) had been credited to the wrong account. I called Mr. Ponce and explained the situation. Because the case was over and all the money had been distributed, I expected to pay Mr. Ponce to straighten things out with the hospital. Instead, he took care of the problem without any hint of needing any extra payment. Great service!

Rude, Unprofessional, Arrogant, Disrespectful Lawyer

I've hired Robert Ponce on a few cases since he was recommended by a friend. He's always been very rude, short tempered, and very disrespectful towards me over the phone until my husband intervenes. I don't know if he feels the cases I have aren't worth a lot of money to him so he constantly put our ...cases on the back burner until it was crunch time to meet the deadline then he was blowing us up to get in his office to sign forms. On several occasions I had to get medical info/paperwork/documents for him yet I thought that's what I hired him and his office for. He's very unorganized and was always losing my documents then would state I never gave the forms/pictures to him. He is very difficult to work with and has no consideration for his clients feelings. He refuses to listen to you when you talk to him and gets angry really fast. On several occasions he has rudely hung up the phone on us. He constantly would tell us what our cases were worth and encourage us to go for the max amount then last minute he wanted us to just take what they offer and not continue to try to take the case to court. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. I'm very disappointed that I chose him to represent my family. I'm sure he's stressed but you do not take your aggression out on your clientele. People go to Robert Ponce to represent them not to be belittled and verbally abused by some arrogant, mean, rude lawyer who thinks you owe him. I'm very upset that I chose him as a lawyer and will never hire him again!

  • 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.
