Nothing good to say about this firm, My son and I went to request Mr Calvo services, we talk the different way to pay for his services, two days later I went back we my first deposit- payment of $2000.00 but the situation whit the family member was in jail changed, the some day and we no need any more Mr Calvo services I call the some day but no answer,next day again more calls nothing no respond that week Sunday Sept 10 the hurricane Irma strike Fort Myers, finally a week after I went to the office to talk to Mr Calvo about the case and cancel his services, only I was available to talk to the lady in front desk she told me the deposit no was refundable because about was take like a "retainer" I ask her how they can do that because the case never star Mr Calvo never meet my relative no paper was file, nothing ! She respond was she only work there, we are really mad of this firm supposed be there to work for people benefit, easily take the people money and because they knows the law said is legal We fell like we was rob exactly like some criminal do in the street, is a big embarrassment for the Cuban community.
Jose Calvo was my criminal defense attorney during a time in my life where Cape Coral Police sought to ruin myself and my family on sheer allegation under the guise of ‘probable cause’.
He is a very effective criminal defense lawyer, and knows the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction.
Jose needs better office staff in my opinion. Communication with his firm was a major setback for my family and I who needed answers when requested----not days or weeks afterward. This was a consistent reality I faced when dealing with Jose and Lizzet. It made me feel depressed and angry given what was going on in my life and not feeling rest assured that my case was being handled the way I thought to be proper. I would send Jose multiple emails just to elicit a response as to the status of my case. I would easily go days or weeks without hearing back from either Jose or Lizzet and that was grossly unfair and unjust.
Through my dealings with Jose and his office attendant, Lizzet Diaz, I have much to say.
Getting my seized property back from the police was no picnic. Lizzet was HORRIBLE with communication with me, again, having to constantly hound day after day for a response when I was promised a call back or an email before the end of the business day. I had to get in touch with Jose after nearly two (2) months of Lizzet not getting anywhere with the police, who just love to sit on your property despite having a court order signed by a judge mandating its release.
My experience with the Calvo firm was fantastic . They were very informative, responsive, and accommodating ! Working directly with Jose was a great experience. Even when I thought he couldn't get it done he did ! I would highly recommend this firm
Mr. Calvo, We are very satisfied with your firm handling our case. Everyone was so nice, and you were always quick to respond to our questions, and gave us updates on the case. Lizzet was very helpful as well. The stressful time we were going through was made so much easier with all of you guiding us through the process, and we would definitely recommend your firm to anyone. Thank you so much for your help with our situation, you handled everything with dignity and compassion, just what people need in stressful situations.Thank you again, for your time and your staff's time in resolving the case so quickly and professionally. GOD BLESS YOU.
I write this review conveying my sole opinions.
In my opinion, I had high expectations for Jose Calvo and maybe I shouldn’t have. I wanted an attorney to fight for me. I had a case where all of my charges except for one were not even filed by the district attorney’s office. The only charge that stood could, in my own observation of the evidence and facts I had, could have been contested in case management if Jose would have fought back. Instead, I get the “I want more money if you want to proceed to trial” excuse. I witnessed Jose getting brow-beaten by some 27 year old assistant prosecutor when ‘asking’ to get my case dismissed and truth be told, it disgusted me because it’s MY LIFE on the line! It shouldn’t have to come to that if you are aggressive at every stage of the legal process and not just trial. The last and only charge to be fought was eventually dropped but it took a considerable amount of time to do so when in shouldn’t have given the facts and circumstances of my case. Again, that is my opinion.
Summarily, take your time in hiring an attorney. I hope you never have to hire one but if you do, do your homework. Retain an attorney who is aggressive and will communicate with you clearly and quickly. It’s your life and freedom on the line. Don’t jeopardize it.
