RESPONSE TO OWNER: So instead of holding yourself and your firm accountable and correcting your wrongs you instead play victim as if no one has the right to call your firm out on negligence with your clients. I didn’t bash you at all, I actually gave a compliment. Other potential clients have the right to see an honest review especially given I’ve been waiting for 2 months. How much longer did you want me to sit and wait on an engagement letter that clearly was never coming? Again she told me this over a month ago. Where is the actual accountability from you? Instead of pretending you are above judgment!!! You could’ve corrected your firms wrongs but you chose haughtiness and arrogance instead— that gets you no where in life but continuing to be lonely. Best of luck to you just the same! ——————————————- In the beginning of April, I contacted them for an employment lawsuit regarding sexual harassment, discrimination and having to leave due to a hostile work environment. After speaking with Girline she told me she believed I had a case and sent over the welcome client packet to fill out. I filled out everything with all documentation and she said she would get back to me. She even told me NOT to file with the EEOC yet because we "may not need it", so I've waited. I understand paralegals can be busy, I respect the time. However, Weeks went by and I heard nothing. I sent an email with an update about my resignation letter, still no reply. After another few weeks I called her and asked her what was going on, she apologized and said she had been busy but my information was sent to the "underwriting team" and she said I should getting a engagement letter for the firm that I need to sign.. this never arrived. I have not heard anything since I last called and was told I'd receive an engagement letter to sign, I've reached out and even checked my spam but nothing has came through. It's unfortunate because I delayed filing with the EEOC based off of her recommendation that the attorney could potentially take the case without their involvement. Pollard seems like a great attorney, I read some of his LinkedIN posts and I loved his passions. I wish he could have represented me in my case. Unfortunately Girline led me to believe I was being accepted when I wasn't. I would have respected receiving a denial letter or even an email saying we wouldn't take the case instead of being led on and delaying the EEOC complaint based off the paralegals advice, whom I trusted. Did not call again because I had already reached out so many times with no response or was told I'd receive something which I never received. Thanks for your time whoever has read this, I will try to continue my search to find an attorney who will fight for me. God bless and best of luck to anyone searching like I am!
We get hundreds of possible cases each week and occasionally something slips through the cracks. Or gets delayed. That’s ultimately on me.<br><br>I’m not sure how trashing my firm and giving us a 1 star review seems appropriate to you. But if that’s how you want to approach things, do you. <br><br>If my firm was going to send you an engagement letter, it would have been smarter and much more productive to wait on that. As it stands, you just cost yourself one of the few lawyers in Florida who is willing to actually litigate these cases and take them to trial or even appeal. So you might feel good now. But, in the long run, you made a big mistake. Good luck to you.
I called them for a discrimination case gave all my information and they completely ghosted on me my calls are being rejected and I don't know a reason.....waste of time and lack of communication.
Update: We have investigated this. We did not "ghost" this person. We rejected her case. She left this review in retaliation for us declining to represent her.<br><br>So, now, we are going to file a lawsuit against her for defamation. I'm sure she thinks she's anonymous and can say whatever she wants online. But that's not how it works. Lie about my firm at your own risk. <br><br>JP<br>----<br><br>We receive hundreds of inquiries every week -- sometimes an inquiry falls through the cracks. Also, we may simply not have gotten around to evaluating your possible case yet. I apologize for that. <br><br>You're welcome to send a contact form through our website and I'll personally take a look at your case. I can't guarantee that we will accept your case-- but I'll take a look and let you know if we could assist you. <br><br>All the best,<br><br>JP
I owe JP and his team for getting me out of noncompete agreement and allowing me to start my own practice. Jon and Chris are great and handled my case with expertise. This firm is not afraid of advocating for their clients and they go out of their way to deliver results. I’ll never forget what they did for me!
Jonathan Pollard and his colleagues represented me in an arbitration involving my former business partners. After I was wrongfully expelled from an LLC I cofounded, my former partners maintained that I was not entitled to payment for my shares and was subject to certain non-compete restrictions. Pollard PLLC initiated an arbitration on my behalf. My former partners countersued seeking to enforce the non-compete among other claims. After more than a year in arbitration, we won an award of more than $1 million and a declaratory judgment holding the non-compete unenforceable. We also defeated all of the counterclaims brought against me. Pollard and his team are consummate professionals who thoroughly and passionately represented me. I could not be happier with their work!
It was absolutely our privilege to represent you in your case! Thank you!
An extraordinary law firm. Jon and his team are aces. Just above and beyond expectations. The results were amazing to watch. I went form being very worried about my situation to expressing a sigh of relief when I saw the other party's lawyer stumbling over their words as they realized they were dealing with a lawyer well above their league. Jon really knows his stuff, after minutes of describing my situation, he pulled together a high level strategy and explained to me exactly where I stood. I later found out that he has a near encyclopedic knowledge about his craft and is widely followed online for his thought leadership. Great people, would highly recommend them to anybody.
I was in desperate need of a non compete lawyer after receiving a cease and desist letter. While researching local attorneys I ran into several videos and blogs from Jonathan that helped me understand the process. They were so informative, I decided to choose him as my attorney. Not only did Jonathan go beyond the call of duty for me personally and for my company, but he also was able to set the pace for our future success, and protect us from future harassment. To me, my family, and my company, He was a life saver.
There is no better non-compete attorney in FL than Jonathan Pollard. He knows the law inside and out, really believes in what he does, and he is an absolute winner- it shows in court. There's nobody I'd rather have on my side than Jonathan and his team, they work very hard, do excellent work, and actually care about the people they represent. Highly recommended.
Thank you Ashleigh!
One of the best attorney's in Florida
Pollard is the go-to guy for Trade Secret and Non Compete. He is a lawyer's lawyer.
Jonathan Pollard and his team represented me and my company in multi-front, high stakes, bet the company litigation involving various non-compete, tortious interference and false advertising issues. There were at least five or six related cases. It was the most complicated business problem and litigation that I’ve ever encountered in my entire career. He solved it. As in he literally solved the entire problem; resolved the entire litigation; and saved our company. Pollard is only 35 years old and is hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever known. He knows the law cold. He understands all the business side concerns. If he didn’t already own a successful law firm, he’d be running a Fortune 500 company. And for as busy as this guy is and as hard as he works, he always made time to take my calls or talk with me when I had a problem or a question. Mornings, nights, weekends, whenever. It’s not just that Pollard is a brilliant lawyer. It’s that he really cares. This guy is not only our lawyer for life, he’s like a brother to me. He’s the real deal.
Jonathan is more than a good lawyer; he is a master of his craft. I had the pleasure of clerking for, and learning from Jonathan during my time as a law student. In my humble opinion, there is not a better, honest, and more qualified lawyer in Southern Florida that handles disputes concerning non-compete agreements, trade secrets, and business torts. As a top-notch litigator, Jonathan provides exciting and practical ways to adapt to changes in the legal market. While clients have many choices when it comes to choosing a good lawyer, not many will measure up to the diligence and compassion that John provides to each of his clients, not to mention the expertise he brings to the niche area of non-competes, trade secrets, and business torts.
Thank you Evan! We miss you!
Jonathan took the time to understand all of the facts surrounding my wife's non-compete contract and also took the time to understand all of the facts surrounding the business and the events leading up to the formation of it. Sometimes one may feel like an injustice has been done, but a busy lawyer may not take the time to understand all of the facts surrounding a dispute in order to dig out the true injustice based on all of the facts and history. Jonathan took the time to fully understand all of the facts, and also took the time to write a very complete and well thought out response. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Pollard is awesome at what he does! I don't have a lot of time to write this so I will just say he wrote one letter for me and it took care of everything!
