EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hugo and his team are absolutely excellent. They helped us with a multi-year case that was truly a burden on our mental health. We were being wrongfully accused of malpractice at the same time as being taken advantage of by a Seller who had a history of nefarious litigation for minuscule things. Hugo and Rachel kept working behind the scenes and after almost 2 years of litigation they reached a settlement with the other party in which we were able to recover almost all of our funds. They did not do the little things that most attorneys do where they make pointless emails or calls just to rack up billable hours, they stayed the course and ensured that our company was protected and our name was not dragged thru the mud. I cannot recommend Hugo and his team enough. They are true bulldogs that will go to war for you and ensure you have a satisfiable outcome to your case.. if you are struggling with a legal battle in the state of Florida, CALL HUGO!!! Thanks again Hugo and Rachel!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing team! Hugo helped me out with a case and everything went extremely smooth. They updated us frequently and let us know what every step was. We ended up winning our case and I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with them. Highly recommend! - Jose HerreraPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a consultation with an attorney at FGC today, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. My experience started when I called, and an actual person answered the phone (a rarity these days). I was immediately transferred to an intake specialist, Gabby, who was so nice. She was very empathetic and talked to me like a person, not a potential case number. She set up an appointment to speak to an attorney (Andrea) within a few hours. I was amazed. I have never had this level of service from any law firm. Andrea was so understanding and really helped us by patiently explaining the entire process. This firm clearly cares about people. If my situation progresses and I need to move forward with litigation, there is no other firm I would consider. And I don't say that lightly.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muy Buena experiencing loss recomiendo may eficientesPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FGC helped my parents when their homeowners insurance didn’t want to help fix hurricane damage, but what truly stood out to me is how they helped me personally when an issue I had didn’t fall under their scope of law at the time. They went out of their way to point me in the correct direction just because it was the right thing to do. They have since expanded their scope and I can’t recommend anyone but FGC.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great communicationPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hugo and his team are absolutely incredible. The law is extremely complex and they make it so easy to understand and digestible I felt like I knew exactly what the firm was doing and how that was helping me. Their responsiveness is second to none as I have worked with other firms in the past where I felt like they were just telling me things. Giving them 5 stars because I can’t give them more.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
