In 2008, I used the services of Kincade & Garcia, It was a tough decision. The Great Recession was in full swing and a strategic moves needed to be made. I brought my life partner with me because the decision I would need to make would effect me for a long time. Tim sat down with us in his office and demonstrated his skills as a good listener and told me the strategy that was needed to solve my situation. At first I didn't like his honesty then after thinking it over, I realized he was right, and I needed to solve this. As a New Yorker I appreciated his straight talk and I knew his suggestion was the right move so I hired his law firm. So, what took me so long to write this review you might ask, well! It is because I sent Tim an email this morning about a question I had in regards to my credit report. My credit score said on all three reports 775, I couldn't believe that score and wanted to once again ask Tim, why, why would I have such a great score before 10 years. I am going to take liberty and quote his email "Because this is America and you get to start your life over" The guy still answers emails from old clients. I don't personally know him since I live up in Fort Lauderdale, all I know of him when I needed a lawyer with specialities for my situation I asked around and his Law firm was mentioned more then twice that is why I ended up hiring his firm in Coral Gables when I lived so far away. Do what you want with this information and testimonial, but certain things in life you got to not go on the cheap, you need to hire the best. Tim for me was the best move I have made for my situation. I have no regrets, I am glad the past is the past and to know he is right. This is America and we get to have a fresh start. read more

It should cost you no more than $3.00 for a copy. Enough said. read more

Kingcade Garcia McMaken - Bankruptcy Law Near Me - Miami, Florida

They forgot to include a very important letter to my home bank while doing the bankruptcy back in 2019 and that mistake is costing me a lot of money and tears. Now they say they are unable to submit that letter to my mortgate company. PLease go see a lawyer who knows what they are doing and who uses staff who also know what they are doing. This is a very serious mistake and by the way, if you ever need copies of anything you need related to your bankruptcy, they will charge you an arm and and a leg. Go see Patrick Cordero. He is more qualified. read more

The process was flawless. The office staff was always very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Mr. Kingcade over and over again!

Please do not use this attorney. He will full you in your first appointment with him which by the way it will be your first and last once you agree to do your bankruptcy with him. He passes you on to his employees and will always be too busy for anything else you may inquire. His employees are all very rude specially a girl named Tina. After you pay your retainer they will continue making calls to you requiring additional fees. Therefore, it will add up to the thousands. They can careless about what your going through if you have questions you will get literally a one word one sentence email very unprofessional. They do not advise you as to what the trustees will or can look for he has been around for years therefore knows the right words to use to charm people but please do not spend a dime on this man. YOU WILL REGRET IT. Yes cases get closed after a settlement of thousands of dollars this man or his staff do not care please do not use him. GUYS he also copies and pastes the same responses when you leave a review. He has done it to several people. He will make up an event that happened say that he fired you or had to call the police when that scenario never happened. My case was closed and I had to pay a lot of money because of his lack of communication. Do not fall for his responses he has no clue who I am because he only saw me once last year. Never did an issue occur he is clearly aggressive by his responses the cops were never called on me. This man is a narcissistic liar. read more

They're not the cheapest place in town but they do know their stuff. You always get what you pay for!

Still disappointed after 9 years. File bankruptcy on 2013, starting all was so good, but later on the staff commit too many mistakes, I was told by him to sell my car so the court won't take it, I have to pay my car in full later, they include my property without my knowledge, now on 2022 because they don't follow with the bank at that moment, I stuck in the middle trying to get release my mortgage from a third party and get it reported to the credit my payments, plus other things. Because their bad job now I have to pay fees in order to get my things straighten I would NOT strongly recommend this lawyer read more

I needed an attorney for bankruptcy and chose Kincaid and Garcia. From the start to the finish they were very helpful and answered all of my questions. I would definitely refer them to any of my friends that needed a bankruptcy attorney. All the staff was very knowledgeable of my needs. You will not be disappointed. This is a Class A firm. read more

Timothy Kingcade and associates are quick to help you file a bankruptcy but don't expect anything more than just that. They couldn't care less about your life during the bankruptcy and even less after a bankruptcy. GO FIND ANOTHER!!! read more

Mr. Kingcade was the only good experience about this office. Unfortunately after I left his office, about 4 days later I called to make my first payment (for my Husband's case), the attendant 'Niurka' very impatient, no cordial 'Good Morning' or anything like that... took half a day and 4 to 5 phone calls to find my husband's case. All the time treating me on the phone like if she was doing me a favor.   Finally when I was ready to make the payment, she said I would have to pay 3% in top of the amount for "a pay by phone Fee" , which would be almost $ 40 dollars extra. I questioned her about this HUGE fee, that she never informed me about it during all day and I would like to speak to a supervisor to see if they could do an exception and wave the fee for me She put me on hold and came back this Extremely Rude woman on the phone, bragging about being the "Attorney Kristina Gonzalez", I told her attitude was very unprofessional and she basically told me; * If You're Not happy With The Fee and Service Provided, You're More Than Welcome To Find Another Attorney To Represent Your Husband *. Well, SO I DID! Just 4 days before my court. I'm hiring another attorney... The lesson is; It doesn't matter your status or how educated you are, work with people is not for everyone. This Lady is clearly not prepared to help people (especially people with financial problems). Her "diploma" is useless and the way she treats people who can do nothing for her, is the biggest statement about her poor personality. I would never recommend this woman to represent anyone. Maybe my $ 1,250 payment was not important to her, But I will make sure she will remember me reading my reviews in every social media available. read more

I'm very disappointed in Kingcade & Garcia. He bragged how he how was the first attorney to beat the Ygrene / Pace loans in Miami. He pointed to his wall of news articles in his office. We were extremely happy because we needed to get the $80K in Ygrene and pool loans off our home. Timothy assured us he could help get us out of those two huge loans, which was the reason we signed with him. He's very charismatic and polite when you first meet with him. After you sign your retainer, everything changes. Now you have to email him to get questions answered and he replies with short and vague responses. His staff can be rude and discourteous as in the other reviews but that's because of how he treats them. I sat in the waiting room with three other clients and actually heard him yelling and cursing at one of his female employees to the point she walked out crying. His paralegal seems the only person in the office that knows anything and has the patience of a saint. You can see his staff aren't very happy and in my opinion leads to poor work performance of cases. We had issues with our exemption page because his staff member wrote the wrong amount twice which would've cost us more money to payback. His office called me to tell me they need more money to do a motion for the pool loan because bank was contesting my bankruptcy. They made it seemed it was an urgent matter. He charged me $1000 for a motion he never did but he did go on vacation like three times while working on my case. I was asking him for months about the status of the motion and he kept giving me the run-a-round. I would ask to let me see the documents showing that my pool loan was disputed in the bankruptcy and he would not produce it. When I check my bankruptcy docket there was no dispute recorded from my pool loan company. I asked for a refund of my $1000 if he didn't do the motion. He finally gave me a credit. That credit went to more attorney fees "for settling my case." Apparently the approximate $6k in attorney's fees I already paid wasn't enough. When we went to our first hearing, everyone got to leave with their discharge but not us. His office apparently, according to the Trustee, didn't have all of our documentation and caused her to extend our case. His attorneys just sat there and didn't say or do anything. The Trustee got like four extensions and the whole time you have to chase down his staff to get an explanation. As someone who has never filed for bankruptcy and no real knowledge of how it works, it's very frustrating when you think your lawyer is working against you. He did get us out of our substantial credit card debt but any decent bankruptcy lawyer could have done that. That's why I'm giving him two stars. I would not recommend him as a bankruptcy attorney. He can't get you out of Ygrene or pool loan, especially if it's deemed a fixture lien. Make sure you check your house for liens before you see him, he dropped the ball on that one for our case. He initially said there were no liens against my property but he was wrong! He will start charging you more fees and then point to the vague legal contract. I unfortunately made the mistake of reading his reviews after I signed with him and started to notice the similar patterns as in previous reviews. read more

They truly go above and beyond to answer all your questions & concerns. No matter the time or day they are always available for you and keeps you at ease during this very stressful time. Honestly I couldn't recommend a better law firm from start to end they hold your hand every step of the way and guide you way beyond your court appearance. Am very grateful to Mr. Kingcade & Ms. Kristina Gonzalez. Wow Superb attention, welcoming, experience & knowledgable in their area of expertise. read more

For those of you reading if you're in need of a great attorney for your bankruptcy needs don't look any further. read more

Professional, efficient and clear. They will answer any questions in a fast and easy to understand way. Happy with the results from my case and couldn't ask for more from this office. read more

I was completely honest with the attorneys from the very beginning. I never withheld any information from the attorneys and was advised by them to pay off a personal loan that I had with a friend before filing bankruptcy. Do not listen to their lies. They promised me something they could not deliver on and I had to pay the price. read more

This is the 1st attorney that always responds to your questions within mins! They don't nickle and dime you. They gave excellent service and made the whole process easy during tuff times. Very friendly, helpful professional staff. If anyone is considering bankruptcy you must see Timothy! read more

My case was complicated and took over a year to resolve. Kingcade and group was with me all the way and we finally got things resolved. The entire staff is always responsive, attentive and caring. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and Kingcade Garcia McMaken totally understand this and are professional in dealing with these problems and able to get immediate relief to begin the process. Tim and Kristina will answer any question almost immediately and usually had solutions before I even asked a question. If you find yourself in a similar situation I highly recommend the firm of Kingcade Garcia McMaken. There are many Attorneys who claim to specialize in this area of law but I know for certain this firm is one of the best. read more

I'm in the legal field however, not an expert in Bankruptcy Laws. When it came time to need a bankruptcy lawyer for a close relative, I hired this firm. However, I am extremely disappointed in the services I received. My issues are: a) I was told that when it was time to go to court I would have someone call me to explain the process, that did not happen. B) When at the office to sign papers Mr. Kingcade's paralegal referred to my relative (aka: their client) as "that lady". I was hurt and surprised that any person would not refer to their clients in respectful manner. C) when I've called to ask questions about my relatives case, their office staff gave me the wrong information. I've received horrible customer service from this law firm and do not recommend anyone contracting them for their legal needs. read more

The worse experience of my life. He fail to represent me at the court , the only time i saw him was the first appointment to tell me the price, after that only the rudest paralegals on Miami talk to you. Later they asked for more money, never advise me that I will lose my car, and guest what after the court day because they did nothing he asked for more money and because I refused to throw my money for nothing and decided to continue by myself, now he is answering my reviews with a lie, stating that I failed to make the payment. NO TRUE. read more

My case was Fast and smooth, only complaint is front desk rep is extremely rude, probably hates her job.

Kingcade was able to do everything he promised. No one could ask for more from a lawyer. He in fact under promised and achieve what I would consider phenomenal results. His staff was always informative and courteous. The staffs attitude toward the clients was great considering most of the people who are going to a Bankruptcy Lawyer are broke and trying to avoid creditors. So most of the clients (me included) are not the most ethical people. To be perfectly ethical, people would pay their bills regardless of their situation. I admit I took the easy way out of my financial situation. Kingcade give me a second chance and this time I will do all the right things and be totally responsible. I see people criticize his fee but he tells you upfront of the cost. If the people don't like the fee they should have gone elsewhere. I see people complain about lack of information they received in their about cases. In my case he laid out every step and his office personnel would tell me each step as we approached the different phases of my legal issues. read more

I filed bankruptcy in November 2016 and the law office of Kingcade & Garcia made my experience as painless as possible. I believe that if you're ready with the documents they ask for and follow the process, then it can turn a bad situation into a less than bad experience. I would recommend Mr. Kingcade to anyone that has to face the financial hardships that I did. He and the team were all quick to reply to my emails and stayed in constant contact with me. God forbid I ever face that crisis again, but if I do, I know who I'll call. Thanks read more

Mr. Kingcade and his staff recently helped me in the process of declaring bankruptcy for an elderly relative. At every point in the process, they were clear, transparent, provided intelligible options and guidance. I would highly recommend their services. read more

I wish I had read all these negative reviews prior to hiring Mr. Kingcade, but I didn't. If you visit their website and read where it says " Why choose us" the forth point " You will receive personal attention and care" THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WONT GET. Yes Mr. Kingcade is very nice on the first visit, you know right before you hire him. Once you do; you will not speak with him again, nor will you see him, you will be handled by his office staff ( different people every time, all lost, no one will be on the same page THIS IS BAD FOR YOUR CASE ) an extremely rude and unprofessional office staff, they always seem to be in a bad mood, the lady Tina who sits right outside of Kingcade's office WOW, she was so very rude every single time, I understand people have bad days so when I tell you every time I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME in person or over the phone! Kingcade's firm was hired for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, he charged us $1750 ( not bad I thought, I think other attorneys charge more ). We always paid on time, no issue from our end on payment , the day that we went to sign the papers we were seen by Maria Santos ( this person was actually NICE, no complaint on her attitude, she was the only person who treated us nice ( decent ) at Kingcade's office, unfortunately she informed us wrong and mislead us with information that later had a major negative impact on our case which pushed for a second deposition. If the paralegal we were appointed Kristina Gonzalez would have called us and spoken with us over the phone so that we could all be on the same page and prepare well for the case this would have not happened, unfortunetly Kingcade and his staff have an issue with speaking on the phone UNLESS it is to ask for money, charge your card, tell you about your upcoming payment ( hungry for your money) even the attorney himself has so much trouble speaking with you, when this happens be VERY CAREFUL, usually means they are not straight forward and highly suggest they dont care for you, if they have the time to reply to an email they must also have the time to speak with you on the phone if you are asking to be contacted, right?? well not Kingcade or his staff. Once the second deposition was requested Tina called us on a Friday afternoon to tell us the trustee had requested a second deposition and we had to pay another $1500 by Monday :) ....this is happening during the mandatory Florida shutdown of non essential businesses during the COVID-19 crisis, we didn't have the money then, we asked if we could get a discount considering the fact they didn't handle the case well and we ask if we could pay in partials. The answer was " we made no mistake but here is a $250 discount and you need to pay the rest all at once by Monday " they gave us 48 hours to ( excuse my french ) pull the money out of our a**, no sympathy, remember the " You will receive personal attention and care" HAHA YEAH RIGHT. Long story short , the attorney wouldn't recognize the mistake by his staff and we couldn't agree on a better deal , he sent us very unprofessional emails , again because he wouldn't speak with us but would reply to our emails within minutes, you know the saying " you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" .....applies to this person. He withdrew himself from the case and wished us good luck. We lost our time, we lost our money simply because his EGO is so beyond himself he could never agree in saying " we shouldn't have done that and I am going to help you fix it " no solutions whatsoever. I am only leaving this here hoping it doesn't happen to other people just as I hoped I had read previous reviews. He is a very despicable person, he doesn't care about you or your case, you are just a number and he is nothing but fame. GOOD LUCK! read more

si hay menos estrellas le pondría zero, nada de profesional, esa oficina es un circo despues que les pagas, no te responden los teléfonos, te engañan en otro review me respondieron que mi caso lo había desestimado por no brindar la información que me pedían lo cual no es cierto, le pedí dos citas para que me aclararan cosas referentes al caso que no tenía clara, aparecían datos erróneos con referencia a mi cuenta de banco personal que me la tenía como de negocio, en la última cita que pedí me la dió y el día anterior una de sus empleadas me llamo para que borrara el review a lo cual no accedí le dije que cuando me viera en la cita al día siguiente con el abogado determinaba, al día siguiente el abogado me llamo y me dijo que no queria hablar nada conmigo y que iba a desestimar el caso, no tienen ninguna educacion aquí todo está friamente calculado, hoy recibo una llamada de otra oficina de abogados diciéndome que es de la fiscalía que Kingcade me había mandado cita desde el 10 de julio para no representarme, en otras palabras o me busco otro abogado o acepto lo que me está ofreciendo no se lo recomiendo a nadie y lo vamos a reportar al BAR y al BBB y a cuanta entidad exista para que.no sigan cometiendo estas injusticias en nombre de la ley read more

Worked with the office on my situation and it was extremely easy and painless. Kingcade, was upfront on what was gonna happen and what I needed to do to alleviate myself of my situation. His staff was open to answering my questions and very professional and the support they offered me. Would recommend them to anyone that asks. read more

My experience with Mr. Kingcade was extremely negative .When we did not accept what was offered to us and incurred about additional options in our case, he lost it. He proceeded to use profane language to insult my husband. I am still in awe at the horrible experience. I have never experienced anything like this. I guess one of the previous review is correct, as long as you pay him his fees and ask no questions then your experience may be a bit more pleasant. read more

Seems like Mr Kingcade is now trying to "undo" the negative comments he himself has caused by his actions. Do not be fooled. Read the other complaints .. Am sure there are many more. He was abusive verbally, disrespectful, and gave inaccurate legal advice which ended up costing me a lot of money to rectify. I will say it again - to all those facing bankruptcy in Miami/Florida, FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO REPRESENT YOU. read more

What a great team!!! Really helped me a lot and guided me on what needed to be done. Very helpful, I would definitely recommend.

Had my bankruptcy filed with Kincade. There was a hiccup based on the amount I was making, but Kincade found an alternate solution that ultimately completed my bankruptcy. The process was relatively stress free. And it was much easier than I thought it was going to be. read more

After having met with other attorneys concerning bankruptcy, I decided to go with Mr. Kingcade. It was a very fast and painless procedure. I met with him and provided all of the documentation which was needed. He analyzed my case and advised me that I was a good candidate for bankruptcy. During the next few days, I would receive calls or emails with any additional information which was needed. Within 3 months of my case was already in filed, and done with. I can say it was a great experience, all his staff was respectful and responsive. My case went so well, I wish I would have done it sooner. Any questions I had, I would email and receive a prompt reply. I would highly recommend Mr. Kingcade to anyone looking to file a bankruptcy. read more

I wish I would have known what a painless process it was and I would have done it a long time ago. They were with me every step of the way to reassure me and answer any of my questions. read more

I had tried to fix my own problem with trying to understand the legal process when it came to Bankruptcy. I was ruddily awaken to the reality of not knowing what really needed to be done. After a month of trying to deal with this stress, I contacted Kingcade & Garcia Law Office and they relived me of all my concerns. They took everything I had and resolved my problem and relieved me of the burden of not knowing. I finally was informed my the Law Office that I needed to pay a small fine and all of my legal requirements were gone. Thank you very much for your promptness and professionalism. read more

I received excellent service from this Law Firm. Filing for bankruptcy is s stressful situation and the advice and guidance from everyone at the office was stellar. My thoughts are that as long as all information is disclosed to the attorney from the beggining, there is very little room for error. Kingkaid made himself available around the clock. Answered all inquires personally within minutes. Very satisfied with his services along with all of his office staff. Would highly recommend. read more

Mr. Kingcade and his staff were very helpful throughout the course of my BK. All of my questions and concerns were answered immediately and mostly via email by Mr. Kingcade himself. I had a great experience being this was my first time ever dealing with a law firm and also with financial issues. I was able to send all the documents they needed by email eliminating the time it would have taken me to drive to the office and drop off documents. Thank you for all the help. read more

I filed my bankruptcy with this office of Kingcade, I could not be happier, I was in shock he treated us like long time friends. This man is on it, I send him emails and he himself responds within minutes ! Who does that? And 3 years out I still end him emails asking him things I come across and he still responds quick easy and to the point ! I told him today, man, you are the best ! I sent my friends his way and they were so happy. Thank again to this office for making it swift and easy and pain free, affordable and friendly. read more

I just giving 1 start because -5 is not a option .I Hired this firm for my bankruptcy case and was the worse decision that I made. They have 0 customer services , the only time you are able to see Mr Kincade is when he inform you the cost of his services, after that you will only talk to the very unprofessional paralegal, not even at the court day he show his face. They ask me for $2100 and 15 days after they asked me for $200 more. Court day in from of the trustee I was informed that I have to paid to the court $5400 or give my totally paid car to the trustee. When I questioned the grumpy lady who answered the phone in Kincade office why I was not advice about that , she had no answer for me, I asked to meet with the lawyer and she told me he has no appointment available. Later they called me and asked me for $1500 more to go ahead with the 2004 examination, of course I do not paid one more penny. I ended representing myself . read more

Wheeeee. Im glad it's over!!! This bankruptcy tried my last nerve- but I sincerely could not have made it thru without Timothy Kincaide. Your knowledge , your sense of fairness, and your caring soul guided me to the other side with a sense of freedom I haven't known in years. I am so very grateful to you and your staff for making me not feel like a loser, but a winner. God bless you and know I will never forget your kindness read more

I went to Kingcade & Garcia for information about a pending home foreclosure. After assessing my finances, Kingcade suggested bankruptcy options to protect my home. I appreciate the fact that Kincade has a background in accounting and law. This allows him and his team to see the big "picture" in what is best regarding the order in which divorce, bankruptcy, and foreclosure options should be filed. Kingcade is very knowledgeable regarding taxes and other financial issues. He was able to help me with restoring my credit, advising with my divorce to protect my assets, and directed me in the right direction to save my house. I have already recommended his office to 2 other friends going through similar experiences. read more

This person is not that friendly. I tried retaining him and since I knew too much about the law, he did not take my case. I understand they can pick and choose whom they'd represent but, being afraid of an educated consumer is bad. If you know the law and you'd like to hire this person, don't say anything and pay him his fees...Good luck read more
