There was an initial meeting, a meeting to review the plan, and a final meeting to receive the documents and settle the account. The offices were clean and neat and not riddled with unnecessary decorum. A very good overall experience and I feel like I was in very confident hands. You may need to wait awhile for an appointment. The wait is worth it.

We were very pleased to call them for our estate planning and irrevocable trust questions and development. Kris Vanderlaan responded promptly to our appointment request and executed the changes to our will in just a couple days. He is also very knowledgeable about setting up trusts.

While we are still making some decisions about our plans, I am confident he will do an excellent job with sound advise. I give Vanderlaan and Vanderlaan my highest recommendation!

Mr. Colón, You say…read moreyou advocate for your clients--but I urge you, and anyone reading, to consider the consequences of how that advocacy played out in my case. You caused serious harm not only to me, but to your own client by handling negotiations in bad faith. You delivered a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) to me--and possibly even to your client--at 11:00 PM the night before a 9:00 AM trial, followed by a bait-and-switch renegotiation minutes before court. That strategy didn't just waste my time--it wasted your client's time, the court's time, and most of all, made her fly across the country from California for nothing. If that's your idea of advocacy, it's a dangerous one--because it isn't just about legal games. It has real consequences for real people. Your client unlawfully relocated our children in 2022, separating them from their father, their siblings, and their extended family. You knew this. You were told directly. Yet you chose not to address it--not once in your filings. Instead, you focused your efforts on my assets, as if property mattered more than parenting. You call this "aggressive representation." But what you've done is enable a long, drawn-out custody and divorce battle--one that still hasn't ended three years later, and one that has inflicted irreversible emotional harm on these children. When children grow up alienated from a loving parent, everyone loses--especially the parent who thought their attorney was protecting them. When the effects of that alienation fully manifest, and when accountability finally comes due, your misplaced advocacy will not only have harmed me--it will have failed the very person you claim to serve. Lastly, to the public: calling the number in Mr. Colón's reply thinking you'll get "aggressive representation" may be a grave mistake. If your case involves children, integrity, or your future peace of mind, I strongly urge you to seek an attorney who knows the difference between fighting and destroying. The consequences of hiring the wrong advocate won't just affect your case--they may affect your life and your children's future. -- Damaso A. del Rosario, Pro Se Petitioner Gainesville, Florida, USA

CAUTION I hired Jorge Colon to litigate my family case…read more 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 hearings. 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.

Fellow paralegal here- not associated with this firm. My mother is, apparently, a client of theirs…read more They broke confidentiality laws by not being able to keep addresses straight and I actually learned about my mother's future estate planning and legal wishes via them sending her confidential paperwork to my address rather than her selected heir/POA/etc. Not only did they fail to safeguard their client's confidentiality/privacy, but the correspondence sent had a litany of spelling errors. Also, they sent only the signature page of a multipage document asking the designee to sign it in front of a notary. Essentially, they gave the designee no chance to review the contract they wanted them to sign. They also asked that the designee, at his/her own expense, pay for a notary. I am a paralegal and notary at my own firm- this simply is unethical and bad business. You are being paid for a service, you can work with them to get it notarized. You also absolutely do not have someone sign a notary page accepting a contract without even sending them the contract. I'm not sure who the attorney overseeing Gina Mann is but if I did, they would have a board complaint against them because an attorney is legally responsibly for the negligence and misdoings of their legal staff. Confidentiality and competence are basic tenants of the client-attorney privilege and relationship. Please don't let this firm take advantage of your elderly family. Also, the day after I submitted my complaint, my information was leaked to the dark web- not sure if it was also this firm but is a hell of a coincidence if not

Probate, high quality and excellent value…read more My mother unexpectedly died last year. Time mattered: we had an impending offer on her home and suddenly we needed to get our ducks in a row. Another lawyer stalled and predicted problems, but Adam Czaya took my call, explained in clear terms what was needed and promptly put things in order which cleared the sale. Though I'm a lawyer myself, I knew nothing about Florida probate law; Adam and the firm were terrific, doing only what was necessary, explaining every step of the way. We did not lose the house sale. His bill was entirely reasonable. Six months later, a surprise asset surfaced - again, Adam was there for us, handling it efficiently, professionally all at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend Adam Czaya and his firm.

I had a very complicated situation with my home, a divorce, and a bankruptcy. I was worried that I was going to be out in the street because of some underhanded activities by my ex. I had no idea where to turn to resolve the issues and started to google attorney options. Of all the attorneys that I called, Justin was the only one who said they would be willing to help. He spent the better part of an hour explaining to me what my rights were and how everything worked. He let me ask every question that I had, and answered patiently and thoroughly. He made it easy to access his expertise, you simply had to type in your contact information on the website and schedule a time with him. He called exactly as scheduled. At the close of the call, I wanted to cry, I will not lose my home and I now know exactly what I need to do to protect myself and maintain a roof over my head. Justin charged me absolutely nothing for this consultation. Zero. You can be sure that if I need further services, I will absolutely call on Justin. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone who needs help with a realestate or bankruptcy matter.
