Working with Michael was nothing short of outstanding! Never did I think I would have to go through this experience but he was there helping me every step of the way. I knew from the initial consultation I wanted to work with him because his first question was "How are you?" Not in a sense of just meeting someone but he truly cares for his clients and that meant a lot to me. I would definately refer him to anyone going through such a stressful time such as divorce as he is not only kind and caring but extremely knowledgeable and does not try to push anything. He lays out all the optuons and gives amazing guidance but in the end he does exactly what you need/want him to do. 10 stars if it were an option!

First off unbelievably awesome law firm!!! I had spent a lot of money on consultations, looking for an honest and fair attorney that had my interests at heart and that stopped once I met with Mr Vaghaiwalla! He addressed my concerns that I had for my children and approached it as if they were his own children! Being a single father that meant the world to me and I instantly hired him and his firm.
I could not of been blessed anymore as hiring Greater Orlando family law was the best decision hands down that I have personally ever made! Through his hard work and diligence he and his firm had me awarded the outcome which I desired. Not only did Mr Vaghaiwalla and Liz Santiago handle my case to a “T” but actually sincerely cared about my position and again for that I am so very thankful and would not hesitate to hire them again if ever needed!

With that being said, I would say go with your gut. I did and it was the best decision I have ever made for not only myself, but more importantly my children! Honestly you have not only a wonderful team of attorneys working for you, but also some of the most honest and caring individuals that really want to help you! For that I am forever indebted to Mr Vaghaiwalla and his firm! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The mistake I made was hiring an attorney from this firm for a major crimes case. Not only did he prove that his was incompetent he is also a terrible liar. Took a flat fee and still no results on the case. Very unprofessional. Do not HIRE this firm for ANY MAJOR CRIMES CASE as they are not COMPETENT to take such cases!!!!

I retained Orlando Legal for a contested divorce, after the first firm acquired failed in every aspect of the word. Jonathan Simon and Jennifer Santana were patient , considerate and compassionate to my cause and position. I only wanted fair resolution and continue to be a father to my children. This was my motto when I started and the same when I finished. However opposing party had other intentions. From the beginning Jonathan provided a consultation and assessed my concerns and gave me an answer from the start, and provided me the reassurance I needed to acquire his services. The justice system is fair, however only if you are represented in court with the right council. Jonathan solely concentrated on the focal points of my divorce and we prevailed. Despite intents from opposing party to discredit me and my cause, we kept focus on the important parts, the children, fair distribution of assets and the ability to move on for sake of ensuring our children's future . I am grateful to God for the will to seek justice, leading me to Jonathan Simon for legal advice, and for the the outcome obtained. I am forever grateful to Jonathan and his team and will retain services from him for any of my legal services needed for life, I would recommend his team to anyone and put my reputation on it 100%. Feel free to contact me if needed to reaffirm my position.

Would not recommend Jonathan Simon! He did not listen to any of my concerns.

I have been represented several times by both Jonathan Simon and Cynthia Winter. They are both compassionate, brilliant and great communicators. The office is well run, staffed with friendly, helpful employees. I recommend Orlando Legal to anyone needing assertive, creative, well planned representation.

these guys are bullies and help other bullies continue to be bullies...

my ex hired them to prevent me from speaking publicly about how she lied and had me wrongly arrested for domestic violence I did not commit. I was ultimately completely exonerated, with absolutely no sanctions, charges completely dropped, in less than 2 months with my ex stating: that was only because of a lack of evidence. ummm duh.... read: it didn't happen.

now I'm publicly exposing this issue (without even naming her personally) and i get a cease and desist letter from them, enabling her behavior.

TAKE ME TO COURT ORLANDO LEGAL! LET'S PUT YOUR CLIENT ON THE RECORD!

Highly experienced, courteous professionals! Cynthia Winter and my attorney, Eric Bensen, were always there for me from the very start. Highly recommend Orlando Legal for anyone needing legal representation!

where would my family be without them.... i am a single father i have been fighting to stay in my sons life since he was born in 2011.... in the beginning i did all the leg work filed my papers etc etc well to make a long story short about a year or so ago my sons mom ran to another state took my son... i was referred to them through my family church not only did i get to go to ohio to get my son but i have full custody of my son

you want a firm that cares about family? you want a firm that will fight? stop looking i would never use anyone else ever

i will spend the rest of my life with my son because of them :)

After putting everything I had into getting custody of my daughter, I've lost, and my case hasn't even started yet... Catch your attention?

I hired this firm a year ago and have had nothing but nightmares since. Literally, I wake up at night worried about my child... This shouldn’t be happening with a reputable firm and money, both of which I have.

My case was a slam dunk case. The mom has had her children taken away multiple times by DCF. I was not a defendant, so I didn't need to be represented... I was there because I wanted to and I had just got involved in my daughter’s life after never knowing she existed and discovered the living situation, DCF case, the moms psych issues etc. I’m a single father to a 14-year-old boy, in addition to my 5-year-old daughter whom I was fighting for (I already have full custody of my son). Additionally, I’m successful in my career and have been 100% stable for well over 10 years.

I’ve put everything I had into being there for my daughter. This firm was a referral from a friend and highly successful attorney here in San Diego. After over a year of this firm representing me, I realized that my daughters mother was winning, with a public defender. After analyzing the situation, I realized that the trust I had put into this firm was misguided, and that the public should know about how this firm operates prior to hiring them.

My first point to make is that although we have 2 different cases that this firm represented me on (DCF Dependency Case & Paternity and Custody Case), it’s been over a year now, and after over 100+ emails of my lawyer ignoring me, I finally decided to talk directly with the state attorney, which ultimately solved my problem, which was to get a home study done (which is what attorneys are for, right?).

I have 2 attorneys at this firm, one for each case, yet neither of these attorneys even had the slightest clue that I was working directly with the state attorney and had no clue that I accomplished what they couldn’t with a simple email. Once I realized that, I confronted them and had several phone calls and emails about how I felt like they weren’t ‘hands-on’ as much as I wanted, and that I lost faith in them, and requested them to withdraw as council. I have the phone call recordings, so if anyone wants to hear, please PM me.

Their response was for them to withdraw from my case due to irreconcilable differences. Prior to them filing that motion, I get a call from Mr. Eric Bensen stating that they were sorry that they weren’t involved as much as I wanted, but that they would fix the problem and give me 2 free hours of service. Great, right? Wrong…

It’s now been over a month, and their solution to my problem was to file a motion for change of placement, that they knew they would lose… Not only that, but they also decided to file this motion after it was even relevant. The point of the motion was that the mom was unstable, and after a year of being unstable, she finally found a home, so in the courts eyes, was no longer unstable. Yet, my attorneys didn’t even realize that was the motion… Why? Because they don’t care…

I can go on and on with how this firm will rip you off… Instead, I’m going to build a website and share my experience with them. Don’t believe these fake reviews of easy cases… If you have a case that involves a child, one that is close to your heart, I ask that you please take a moment and review my input and reach out to me directly so that you fully understand what you’re getting yourself into.

To view my review website please search Google for "Orlando Legal Reviews".

If you have money to throw away on having a firm represent you that you doesn't put you first, then save it and please use it to hire an attorney that will get stuff done. If you have some extra money to throw away, or advice on a good lawyer that can get stuff done, then please reach out to me.

These peoples’ pockets are already deep enough and I promise they will put themselves first, not your children or family.

Jonathan and his team members performed an excellent service in my case! I was quite skeptical when my fiancée first mentioned about Jonathan and his firm. I had a horrible attorney at that time; besides, I was very distraught due to the situation my son’s mother created. After one-hour consultation with Jonathan, I knew that he was the right person to represent me! He was patient yet professional – He described the procedures and possible outcomes in detail; he also explained his strategy in depth, and that gesture put me in ease. Meanwhile, attorney Michael Vaghaiwalla and paralegal Liz Santiago were also very diligent and dedicated. They responded promptly to me whenever I had questions. I am glad to say that I won the case because of Jonathan and his expertise! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs professional help in family law areas. You will not regret to have Jonathan on your side! Thank you, Jonathan, with all my gratitude! - Nick & B

Michael Vaghaiwalla is a great attorney. He helped pull me though a devastating final judgement and after an appeal on a 6 year divorce. He worked evenings and weekends to answer questions and prepare for trials. I can’t thank him enough for all of his effort and dedication on my case. I can finally move on with my life and relax. I was amazed at how he could always remain calm and handle everything opposing counsel and I presented with professionalism even when I was frantic. Thank you so much Michael. I was blessed to have you representing me. :)

Sincerely,

Rhonda Brady

I’d recommend attorney Michael Vaghaiwalla to anyone and everyone! He and his assistant Nicole were very informative, helpful, and to the point. I did not think my case had much hope but wanted to try anyway, attorney Michael did not shy away. I moved to a different country while my case was still in the process but Michael had no problem with this and kept in touch via email/phone. He kept me up to date on the next steps in the court process and how to be prepared for it. I appreciate his help with my case. After months of not seeing my daughter, I’ll soon be reuniting with her. I couldn’t have done it without attorney Michael.

Thank you!!

Unfortunately, my divorce and all the issues that have gone along with it, has taken years to fight in court. Laura has been on top of my case from day one and has continued to go above and beyond to represent me. I would recommend her time and time again to anyone seeking a dedicated, professional attorney.

Thanks to Laura Moffett and her great staff for handling a particularly long and vicious divorce case for our family with dignity, professionalism and ethics ...... When emotion threatened to take over, she kept us on the high road, and her patience and focus paid off in the end...... there aren't enough rating stars on GOOGLE to express our thanks to Greater Orlando Family Law !

Laura I will gladly refer everyone I know who needs help in any matters close to mine thank you so much you are amazing

Laura Moffett is the BEST attorney ever. Ever since she took over my modification case last month, things have been moving so much smoother and faster. I will HIGHLY recommend Laura and her staff for any family law matters!

This law firm has had 3 name changes and 3 addresses in as many years.
I’d hire another firm if I were you.

Excellent Family Law Attorneys!

Absolutely the best lawyers and great staff too. Very intelligent and experienced. Explained my options and made a difficult divorce easier. I appreciate their hard work and highly recommend them to you.

My experience with Greater Orlando Family Law and specifically with my attorney Laura Moffett has been as professional and as helpful as it gets. Laura has consistently and continuously handled my Paternity, Custody and Child Support case since 2015 when I got served with papers. Concluding and obtaining a final judgement order in my favor the summer of 2016. Since the summer of 2016, Laura has continued to help and assist me with additional legal processes that the other parent/ex has initiated throughout the years. Laura has helped me also outside Orange County where the filings have been submitted by other parent.
I highly recommend the Greater Orlando Family Law and Laura Moffett!

Laura Moffett was excellent!! She helped me through a very tough relocation situation!! I highly recommend her! She made sure my questions were answered and helped me through my anxiety of getting the relocation order done. She tells you upfront the truth so you don’t have the wrong expectations and keeps you updated through out the process. Love her!!

Laura Moffett was excelente, friendly, professional, full of guidance and very attentive to my case. She reconciled my case before I even went in front of the judge, and managed to get the court order to reinstate my drivers license. Highly recommended

I obtained legal counsel from the Cotter and Zelman Firm six years ago and have been with them ever since. Mr. Cotter, my attorney, provides me with accurate information to help me with my cases and does an excellent job representing me. He is very prompt in responding to my concerns and questions. I value his professionalism and expertise in handling my legal matters. I highly recommend Mr. Cotter and his firm.

I think it’s safe to say that no one goes into “I do” thinking that they will ultimately end up in “I don’t”. Unfortunately with today marital statistics, a lot of us have been in this situation. When I was initially introduced by a mutual friend to Jonathan Simon from Orlando Legal, I knew that I needed him in my life. I had been separated for far too long from a man that I had no business being married to any longer than I had. Airing dirty laundry aside, I needed help... I needed to be understood ...I needed to be listened to... I needed an advocate. The stress of dissolving a marriage, something that once meant more to me than anything else was taking its toll.... I cried, I mourned, and I prayed- for the right family attorney. And there he was, this man... a family man, my age, incredibly smart... the youngest board certified attorney in family law for the state of Florida. Not only did he listen, he understood, and he was there to protect me. I felt supported, I felt safe, I felt in the end, it would all be okay.
Not only did Jonathan have my back so to back to speak, but he and his wife practicing as a dynamic duo became people that I now call friends.
I wish for no one to endure divorce, let alone with children... but if its an inevitable necessity, I cannot and would not recommend anyone else... because much like life through divorce, no one should have to settle in life... and that should go for your representation as well.

The Orlando Family Firm has a good reputation. However attorney Lorna Truett demonstated a lack of knowledge, professionism and experience when she represented my case.

My life came crashing down as my wife wanted to divorce me. We had a son together and it was a really hard part of my life to be detached from the family. In the beginning I felt like I was going to lose everything that mattered to me. I talked to different lawyers at consultations and pretty much I got similar answers from each, which it did not look good for me. I stumbled upon Jonathons profile at Avvo. I started to read many of his reviews, so I decided to do a consultation. His consultation was not free. When I met Mr. Simon I knew right away that he was the one. He took the time to explain everything about the laws and what could happen. I decided to hire him. As he worked through my case he also had his team from Orlando Legal to assist. I had made a good decision to hire Jonathon and the Orlando Legal firm. Everyone was amazing and courteous. As Jonathon worked on my case the outcome came to better than I thought. I got to know Jonathon a little bit during the painful moments of my life. Not only his work ethic and values were astonishing, but he is genuine good man. I put my trust in him and he never failed. Thank You Jonathon and the Orlando Legal team. Many Blessings to all.

Jonathan Simon and the team at Orlando legal have been nothing short of fantastic! They quickly focused on the important issues in my case. They were totally prepared and won! All of that without the sticker shock you would expect for so much work!

I recently divorced after 18 years of marriage with two children, although one is in college. I chose Orlando Legal to represent me and was not disappointed! Jonathan Simon represented me, and advocated for my interests with skill and finess. I was pleased with the settlement I was awarded. His entire staff is professional, personal, and so helpful in guiding one through the legal process of filings, discovery and preparing for mediation. Additionally, Mr. Simon is also an expert in Marital and Family Law who can navigate the legal system knowing how to best represent your individual interests and situation. I am grateful to Mr. Simon and his team in bringing closure to my dissolution of marriage enabling me to move forward. I highly recommend Orlando Legal to be on your side through this process.

Simply the Best. Jonathan Simon and the Orlando Family Firm should be your first and only choice. For the past 5 years, Jonathan has guided and coached our family through some extremely challenging situations. He has protected my children on numerous occasions in court and out of court. He consistently looks for peaceful resolve out of court, but can more than handle himself if court in necessary. "WOW" is all I can say about Jonathan's skill set in the court room. He will fight for you and your children to the end. To say that we have won every case would be an understatement. Most recently, Jonathan negotiated a settlement agreement and the focus was again on my children. He is awesome! HIs team is awesome. Feel free to reach out if you need specific details, but I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan and the Orlando Family Firm. Your family needs him and you will be glad he is on your side.
