Jorge and his staff are great. You guys made this an easy process for me, I was always anxious with going against my ex-husband and you guys gave me the confidence to stand against him. From start to finish they were kind and courteous, they responded to questions and concerns I had in a timely manner. I can't thank you all enough, I will definitely use you guys again in the future.

Mr. Colon is brilliant but also has the ability to genuinely and kindly represent his clients. I felt like he put himself in my place and honestly knew what I needed him to do for me.
I interviewed several attorneys who came highly recommended prior to meeting with Mr. Colon. After speaking with Mr. Colon for just a few minutes, there was no doubt in my mind that he was the very best attorney of all the previous ones I had met with. He is so good! His staff is excellent, highly knowledgeable and respectful.. Even though my situation was not a comfortable life event, Mr. Colon took care of everything for me. I have so much respect and confidence in him. If you need someone very special and highly knowledgeable to help you, call Mr. Colon. His receptionist and his paralegal are an excellent team.

Yelp Review of Jorge L. Colon, Esq. - Family Law Attorney
(0 out of 5 stars)
As the petitioner in a divorce and custody case that began in 2022 and remains active in 2025, I feel compelled to share my experience with Jorge L. Colon, Esq., who represented the respondent until his sudden withdrawal earlier this year. What I encountered was not simply adversarial lawyering--it was a strategic pattern of bad faith, deception, and disregard for legal and human consequences, especially where innocent children were involved.
Mr. Colon is a licensed Florida attorney and, notably, a father. Yet despite his understanding of family dynamics and legal ethics, he repeatedly chose to weaponize the court process against me, turning the case into a financial ambush rather than a fair effort to resolve custody and parental rights. The best interest of the children--a well-established legal doctrine--was blatantly ignored.
Early in the case, I met with Mr. Colon in person at his office and clearly informed him that the respondent had unlawfully relocated our minor children from Florida to California in January 2022, in direct violation of the UCCJEA. I later filed multiple legal pleadings referencing this unlawful act. Neither Mr. Colon nor the court ever addressed it. Instead, through silence and procedural maneuvering, they effectively supported the violation.
Even more disturbing, every filing Mr. Colon submitted over the course of three years had one focus: my assets. Not the children. Not custody. Not reunification. Just property and money. The entire case was twisted into a blatant money grab, which only deepened the psychological damage already inflicted on the children through prolonged parental alienation.
The most flagrant act of bad faith occurred the night before our scheduled trial. At 11:00 PM, Mr. Colon emailed me a last-minute proposed Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA)--mere hours before our 9:00 AM final hearing. I had spent weeks providing him with documentation in good faith. Yet minutes before trial, he and his client tried to renegotiate for more assets, completely undermining previous understandings. It was a manipulative, last-ditch tactic designed to pressure and confuse.
Shortly after I filed a Motion for Sanctions and a formal complaint with the Florida Bar outlining his misconduct and ethical breaches, Mr. Colon abruptly withdrew from the case in 2025--citing "irreconcilable differences." The timing makes it clear he left only when the threat of accountability became real.
After withdrawing, he handed the case off to his friend and professional ally, Yessenia Rosales, Esq., of Lakeland, Florida, who--unfortunately for her--is mirroring his harmful tactics rather than correcting course. She, too, has ignored the unlawful relocation and focused singularly on asset seizure and procedural evasion.
Jorge L. Colon, Esq. had the knowledge, authority, and moral responsibility to do the right thing. He failed on all counts. Instead of using his role to uphold justice, he used it to shield wrongdoing, enable the alienation of children, and prioritize financial pursuit over ethical duty.
If you're a parent navigating family court, I urge you to beware. Legal knowledge in the wrong hands becomes a weapon. My case continues. My children remain alienated. But the record is clear now.
RATING: Highly Incompetent / Minus Zero Stars

Jorge Colon and his staff are absolutely amazing and professional! Jorge has dealt with a few family cases and has been completely professional and straight forward with every single one of them. He is an attorney that takes pride in what he does and will give his 100% when representing you! I have recommended Jorge to other friends and family members who have used his services and can also agree that he is the best attorney you will come across.
