Extremely pleased with the handling of my son's case. Mr. Colon worked intensively to gather all the details and dissect the truth. He then presented this information to the state attorney which resulted in all charges being dropped. The Team was informative and stayed in communication. Would highly recommend.

My name is Abel Fragoso. I hired Gil Colon. Waste of money. Waste of Time. The worst lawyer in the world. If i could give a zero star i would.
My family and i, told him my case was a domestic violence. He said yes but after he had the money he said, I do not know if i can take this case because i have daughters of my own, it is wrong what you did. I told him it was a DV case, i told him the full story and i told him i was innocent when we first spoke.
Please do not hire him. He will steal your money and not do anything.

Hannah is a wonderful attorney, I highly recommend her, she was very attentive and caring. On top of what’s going on, and easy to work with. She’s very informative and helpful.

I can honestly say. In my case specifically, they were hands down the firm for the job.
Mr. Colon did everything possible to make sure everything was in order to protect my rights.

(Translated by Google) Do not hire this lawyer. It's useless you never feel represented by a lawyer, they ignore you, they do not allow you a brief conversation ... after having given your first payment they ignore you, never visit the person who has the problem, they lie to you every time Llamas never answers you ... I finally felt that I paid to have a problem more because of his lack of professional ethics ... a public defender can help you more than this inept. I thought I was hiring a good lawyer for the amount I paid, but in my marriage I learned what the "lawyers" really are

(Original)
No contraten este abogado. No sirve para nada nunca te sientes representado por un abogado, te ignoran no te permiten una breve conversación....después de haber dado tu primer pago te ignoran, nunca visita a la persona que tiene el problema, te mienten cada vez que lo llamas nunca te contesta.. en fin sentí que pagué para tener un problema más por su falta de ética de profesión...un defensor público te puede ayudar más que este inepto. Pensé qué estaba contratando un buen abogado por la cantidad que pague, pero en mi casó aprendí lo que realmente son los “abogados “

Best lawyer in the area of Bartow, highly recommended.

In 2008, I was referred to Stacey McNelis through a military lawyer referral program at Fort Shafter, HI. I explained my situation to Ms. McNelis and gave me legal advice that I followed exactly, which caused me to lose custody of my son for two years. I hired her immediately after an emergency motion was filed against me in Polk County. At the hearing, she allowed the judge to threaten kidnapping charges against me without speaking up to tell the judge that she was the one who told me I could legally pick up my son the way I did. For a year, I worked with Ms. McNelis from Hawaii, in a completely different time zone. She constantly charged me full rates (in ten minute increments) for voicemails I would have to leave and emails due to the time difference. Her assistant at the time, Yesenia, was very helpful but I normally spoke with her and got charged just to turn around and have to speak with Ms. McNelis and get charged again. After paying her over $7,000, a year later, with no movement on my case, I terminated her services and hired another attorney. Within a year, I was at a final hearing and was awarded custody of my son again. After my hearing, I contacted Ms. McNelis and asked her to refund half of my fees for her overcharging me and not being able to progress on my case. She refused. I am still active duty Army, and aside from the money I wasted on her services (or lack thereof), my son still deals with emotional scarring because he was forced to remain in an unsafe home due to Ms. McNelis’ initial failures through her unsound legal advice.

There are not enough words to express of how wonderful, aggressive, and amazing Gil Colon is. He fought for my family and made sure that we would prevail. He got our case dropped and my family is overjoyed. We are forever grateful for Mr Gil Colon. There are not enough thank yous that I could say to him and definitely cannot forget to say a thank you to everyone for being our cheerleader. I would so HIGHLY recommend him to everyone I know and to anyone who looks him up. Thank you so much Gil Colon you are truly extraordinary!

Unprepared, lack of communication, lack of responsiveness: Of these, lack of preparation for court hearings and for meetings with me was the one area at which Colon completely bombed. He claimed too much caseload. I wouldn't hire this incompetent again for anything. Colon is little more than a glorified secretary.

The best Lawyers that I know , highly Recomended

Many people in my family have used Stacy for family law and now my brother is using her. They are doing a great job. Her assistant Kelly is great and if you are looking for a law firm that will respond back to your emails and communicate with you, this is the one. They are definitely on top of things! We can relax knowing our case is in good hands! We highly recommend them!

This lawyer met me the same day as I called. Listened to our situation and gave us options to adjust the situation. Very happy

Highly qualified and professional Attorneys.
They understand your needs and defend your rights in court.

I could not be more happy with the service and dedication I received! After paying half of my retainer he had my legal matters settled within the same business day! And he was nice enough to waive the rest of the retainer for me since the case was closed so easily! I recommend him to anyone with legal needs!

Worst experience ever!!! Gave me false hope on obtaining my sons parental rights I paid them and now want to tell me that the biological fathers rights can't be terminated. They don't want to refund my money when the secretary Natalie assured me that I could obtain the rights without having to go threw with an adoption.
I don't recommend anyone hire Colon & Mcnelis all they did was take my money and give me false information.
