"I am incredibly disappointed with Pendas Law"
"They are the worst but have a great marketing scheme to get you"
"My case settled on December 22, 2017"
"Going good at first and eventually attorneys and paralegals stop being helpful"
"My experience with The Pendas Law Firm was exceptional"
I am incredibly disappointed with Pendas Law. My wife has had several poor encounters at the tampa location. After having left a low score review on google for the firm, the attorney working her case called her many times to remove the post (mind you no one had been in touch regarding her recent accident for about 2 months!!! They didnt even know they were no longer working her case because of the negligence!!) At no point did she say she would remove her post, but they responded to her post on google stating that they appreciate her willingness to remove the post and claimed that she indicated it was an over reaction. I can attest that this was no over reaction. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. The last time they called us in they were rude, unapologetic for making us wait a long time for a photo copy and honestly just a HUGE disappointment in customer service. They have someone responsible for anyone who has issues with communicating to their case rep...they give you a brightly colored paper with the contacts information....THIS should have been our warning that this firm has definite ISSUES.
They are the worst but have a great marketing scheme to get you. I have had a simple case where I wasn't even driving but a pick up truck hit me while I was walking and they've dragged this out way too long. They NEVER update me on my case even though I've requested weekly updates, a call or an email SOMETHING!!, but no one ever gets back to me. I've been transferred to numerous paralegals and they NEVER notify me, I always find out by my own account from when I do have the time to call them. BEWARE do not get sucked into their firm by the great publicity they have among the Hispanic community. I would NEVER recommend them. Even calling the supervisor does nothing. Save your case for a better firm that is actually working hard on your personal case and doesn't just handle you like one of their hundreds of files they store in the back of their filing cabinets.
My case settled on December 22, 2017. Is March 16, 2018 and neither my wife and I have received any money. By the way, every time you call you have to leave a message, I’m still waiting for them to call me back. You be the judge. Update: Is April 18, 2018 and nothing yet. The insurance company pay them the date the case was settled. The same excuse over and over, waiting for papers. Really??? Second Update: Is June 12, 2018 and STIIILLL nothing yet. It gets even better I had to find all the paper work requierd because the closing agent Siomara Mercado didnt have any clue how to get them. Just terrible service. SIX MONTHS with our money ( my wife and I ) and they still holding it. And just like before MRS. Mercado dont answers my calls and dont return my voicemails. My advice for future clients is simple, STAY AWAY.
Going good at first and eventually attorneys and paralegals stop being helpful. We got to a point where my husband and I would show up to the office location and the attorney would refuse to see us, they were too busy for us. Never updated us on anything and the documents they wanted us to sign were very vague. They include brightly colored complaint sheets in your welcome package (that we didn’t notice right away hence the reason we moved forward with them). These complaint sheets were clear evidence that they are constantly doing something wrong since they have a line to call just to file complaints you are having with your service or treatment. Just awful service. No one really cares about you just the money they can get from you.
My experience with The Pendas Law Firm was exceptional. They took care of EVERY SINGLE THING, I did not have to worry about calling healthcare providers, insurance companies, or any of the legal matters. I was able to focus strictly on my recovery and The Pendas Law Firm was there to assist in any way possible. I must say that I am overly impressed with my case manager Laudye Pagan, she went above and beyond to attend to my every concern, to throughly explain all the paperwork, and to always keep me informed with what the next step would be. I could not be more satisfied with how my entire process went. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a professional, hospitable, and credible law firm.
I am very proud and happy that my case was closed, and definitely won! Lizette Gonzalez was my case manager and I definitely recommend this P.A.! Honestly, no other Lawyer even tried to fight my case at all, I was turned down by most of those who I called. I really wasn't sure at all that Pendas would actually take my case, to my surprise they did! I am very very happy that they actually DID all they could. My greatest gratitude for my case manager Lizette, if it wouldn't of been for her help and her support, even though there was not that much of a possibility to win it, she fought as much she could, that right there shows who really does work! Thank you God, and thank you Pendas, and thank you Lizette Gonzalez!
Worst experience ever!! I got run over by an Uber driver when exiting the vehicle! They put me into physical rehab then told me I shouldn’t be doing that cause my injury then said if I didn’t show to rehab I wouldn’t be able to prove I was injured in court... I never meet the lawyer once in person !! Spoke to a different person every time I talked to them over the phone... don’t make the worst situation of your life even worse by going here trust me!! You’ll talk to them 1 time a year and then 3 years later you want it to end so they throw a number of cash at you and you say fine get it over with this all sucks... they are worse then the lady who left me for dead, no lie!
Guadelupe and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my current claim. Guadelupe attitude to the work she does not only saved me money but , it also helped me to avoid other problems that could have affected me in the near future. Normally, we don’t even think about such problems ahead. Guadelupe knows them all and may foresee them, she is experienced enough to prevent them, and to give you the right advice on time, before you make your decision. : If you decide to really look for a firm that is willing to help you in all of your legal situation, just go to “The Pendas Law Firm!
Attainted representation from The Pendas Law Firm back in 2016 and its 2018 currently. I am happy with all services given to me by way of the law firm. Especially LIZETTE GONZALEZ she’s has done exceptionally well at keeping me informed about my case. Even the bad days I would have along the way she remained professional and understanding of what I was going through. I recommend this firm to anyone with a personal injury case. Very proactive Firm Thanks guys and gals!!! I’m hoping now that we are at the closing of my almost two year case my experience remains the same and I have a smile on my face in a few short weeks !!!
im very desapoint because I have this firm from 2018 I dont know why they change to much paralegal is not professional because not one is do nothing they close the case of one of my members family with $500 they send the check via regular mail certificate and the mail is gone out wrong and 4 years in the case and they do nothing I call and they never call back is very irresponsible that firm I have big problems after the accident and they dont do nothing for response with the other firm so 0000000etc I don’t recommend this firm sorry about that but is true somebody have to say something and that is what I say
After a long, process the best two words you will hear is "case settled". I can not thank enough the following amazing people at Pendas Law Firm: Attorney Jonathan Sanclemente, Danilo Cruz, Paralegal Clara Hurtado (amazing paralegal) and Mr. Luzardo Pendas for everything they have done. I knew from the beginning that I could trust them with my case. They are compassionate straightforward and honest. I have had the best outcome possible and I know without a doubt, it was obtained solely by these amazing people. I would highly recommend Pendas Law Firm to anyone needing a personal injury attorney.
Nothing good here they care nothing about the actual client needs and let their emotions rule the conversation. Not professional in any profession or in any circumstance for the matter. Easy case for them to lose to another law firm because they couldn't follow the client wishes. Maybe they will get better some day or once were better...for now it's the most unprofessional office I've spoke with period I wouldn't recommend them, go to a reputable lawyer that's known in your area.
After nearly 8 months of waiting (with an absolute winning case, in my opinion), The Pendas Law Firm decided to drop my case. They did not provide any reason whatsoever, except that the attorney had decided to drop it. In three different attempts, I was told that the attorney would call me back to explain why. On all three occasions I would wait for the phone call at the scheduled time, and the attorney would not call. These people are quite unprofessional.
The reviews from Samantha G. and Gloria Vega are amazing. I worked for this firm a few years ago and we never had a client by the name of Samantha G. or Gloria Vega. I wonder if these individuals understand what defamation of character is and what the consequences are for posting unfounded negative reviews for companies. As far as Google is concern if they pride themselves in only posting valid reviews these are two reviews that should be investigated.
Good afternoon, I'm very please with this Law firm. I called to inquire about some issues that I have was able to speak with a very Knowledgeable person name Madeline Castro she took the time to speak to me, very friendly, attentive, I was able to get the information that I needed from her. Glad that you have people like her in your firm. Good luck and keep up the good work!!! It was a pleasure calling your office in Tampa, Florida. Thank you,
First and foremost I'd like to say Madeline Castro has been my life line for case her professionalism and sense of humor has kept me at ease for the duration of my case. Alex Serrano has been truely a gift as well. Would definitely recommend this law from in the event you need help without the heart attack thinking your not in good hands. Ask for Madeline Castro she would give you that smile to keep you at ease during your case! Cheers!
Im a client at the pendad law firm and if I may say that Lesley Cruceta and Laudye Pagan are very impressive employees there, they are on top of your case if anything is needed they try to stay in contact with you at all times and they update you on everything when and if needed as well , keeping everything in order for my case was something that I try to find in a law firm and the Lesley Cruceta and Laudye Pagan sure did. Thank you
On May 25th 2018 my boyfriend was injure, since them we have been in a not finish situation with the attorney Danilo Cruz, here we are in the month of March of 2019 and the case has not been resolved and we get the same answer that we receive on January and speak with some one at this place is harder then request to speak with Donald Trump on the White House, very disrespectful and disappointing of a big name with small results.
Pendas law firm has been amazing at meeting all of our needs for our case. Everything you have to go through after an accident is excrutiating and difficult but this law firm seriously made it go so much smoother. Laudye Pagan made it her goal to keep me updated with my case and get everything moving as soon as possible to assure me compensation in a timely manner. I appreciate their hard work and dedication!
I will never recommend this law firm in a million years. They are not professional. I don't know how they are still in business with our community. They had my case for over a year. When I called the office, they said someone would call me back. I never received that call back for over a year. Bad service Next time, when I look for a law firm, I will look at the reviews before I trust them with my case.
NOTICE THERE IS MORE LIKES ON THE ONE STAR REVIEWS! (Not many can relate to the positive reviews) They will pay themselves first and pay you way later. You will be retired before you see a settlement check come your way, my poor mother has been calling and been getting dodged by the firm her case has been settled and was told she'd be paid in 2 weeks back in January, it's now September... NOT RELIABLE.
Horrible experience! Took my case sat on it for over a year. After a year the time limit expire and the law firm never did proper paper work. I call many times during the year did not respond. I had to call 5 times at a time to get the person in charge of my law suit to talk to me. I was told to wait and after 15 months they told me the time is over. I lost my compensation. Do not use them!
Was very happy with the services provided by Lou Pendas and the auto accident law firm. A good friends son moved down to Tampa, Florida and we had a day trip to Clearwater beach. On the way back our friend was hit by a driver in a honda civic. They had to go to basic rehab and thanks to the help of pendas law they were able to recover damages and get compensated for all of their lost wages.
I don't remember ever meeting the actual attorney in person, kept changing paralegals/attorneys, never actually knew who was in charge of case because it was someone different several times, always had to make appointments to speak about case with attorney. We were asked to do plenty of legwork, yet their firm collected a nice amount after it was all done. Don't recommend.
This law firm has been very helpful with the case I had through you guys, very informative and leading me in the right direction. Madeline Castro was a VERY HUGE contribution to my well being seeing that I was well taken care of, also a warm, and caring individual that loves what she does. I appreciate all your help. Sincerely, Marcell Douglas
Condesending, patronizing, it seems the only work for their 30% of their fees, and to thier partners. They are agresive when it comes to get your business. Once they got it. If you don't call, they won't call. They won't even ask to see if you are ok. They love the Spanish community. Is naive and easy to gain their trust.
I'm not one of those sue everybody types, but I got hurt really bad when a teenager driver broadsided me. My lawyer was Danny Cruz and he was awesome- patient and helpful to me and fighting the other side every step of the way to get my car replaced and to compensate me for my injuries. Go with Danny, you won't be sorry!!
I was employed at the Pendas Law Firm for about a year and I can honestly say that there is a lot of professionalism. Madeline Castro in particular was a pleasure to work with. She is very professional with her clients and meets all her deadlines. She takes her job seriously and I admire her for that.
I had a great experience working with Mr. Sanclemente and the rest of his team at Pendas. He was patient, professional and genuine. He took the time to hear my legal problem and answered every question I had in detail. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a honest and trustworthy attorney.
Madeline provided exemplary customer service skills concerning my case. She portrayed the type of dedication and attention to detail skills that all professionals should display in the legal industry. I will absolutely recommend The Pendas Law Firm to my colleagues. Thanks again for all your help!
I got into a car accident November 29th I called them the next day they took all my information through the phone and never again heard from them never answer their phones and I think that's unprofessional.. They do not try their best to help their customers I will never try to go there again
Lizette Gonzalez is an extremely helpful and very knowledgeable Paralegal at Pendas Law Firm Tampa . She answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. Her demeanor helped me thru this unfortunate and untimely event in my life. Thank you so much Mrs. Gonzalez.......Frank E Rankin
Why would you take my case take 3 years to then tell me i dont have a case after almost a year of Therapy a month out of work it could of been more but if i didnt go back i was gonna loose my job 3 years of fighting a case and them call me to tell me i dont have a case thats crazy
I would definitely recommend this firm and I will, the staff on this firm really helps you and they actually show you that they care, specially Mrs. Siomara Roldan, she has been a great help for my family and myself, she is always helpful with any questions we might have.
Caitlin Villavicencio works at the Pendas law firm office in Tampa FL. She is an amazing employee. She will work with you in anything you may or may not understand, she also speaks both languages which is great for those needing translation. I recommend her to everyone.
I will never used the Pendas law firm or recommended they to family and friends they horrible they didn’t won my case they put a lien on my case because I hired a new lawyer that was doing a better job then them bad experience i will never used they law firm ever again
Last year in May my family and i was in a car accident. Any other law firm might take over 2 years ,but in our case she took less. Lizette Gonzalez is an amazing lawyer who helped us win our case. When in doubt contact pendas law firm, And ask for Lizette Gonzalez !!
Very Professional Law Firm. They explained you very detail what to do according to the laws(worker's compensation). Mr. Danilo Cruz, the best Lawyer and his team. They are very kind, friendly, responsible, I love this firm. They fight for their clients. AwesomeTeam!
Liz handled my case wonderfully. The firm was sure to get all necessary information early on so the entire process went smoothly. This was far less stressful than I originally anticipated it would be. I would reccomend these guys to anyone who needs a case handled
This is the worst attorney and his team. My friend has been trying to settle a case for 2 yes almost and they keep giving her the run around. You don't even get to sit down with a real attorney, they don't pick up the phone and I wish I could give him a 0 star.
This was a positive, informative and pleasant experience concerning an unpleasant situation. Everyone I spoke to was very professional and compassionate. I always felt to be in the best and most capable hands. the Pendas Law Firm lives up to its reputation!
They keep your check for months 9+ after been approved and ignored you for ever. But hey they cash their share. But youll see your money finally from a shelter because noone it gonna hire you because your injurys. So you end up broke and in the streets
I went to the pendas for my car accident,and they keep me up to date on everything ,they were very professional diligent detail and oriented and dedicated the entre time.carmen and mucho attorney were an amazing Team im 100% satified with this firm .
I would recommend this law firm to everyone very very good they with you every step on the way Please if you have a case please choose them you will be happy it was no stress a smooth comfortable ride if I had to choose I’ll always go back …
The worst law firm ever, lack of communication with the client, rudness and unprofessional, stay away from this people it will ruin ur existence, all that false advertising and they are worst than the other, get one star because i cant put cero
My case manager Laudye Pagan remained in touch with me throughout the case informing me of case status and updates, easing my concerns and making me feel assured that my case was being handled correctly. Her positivity and professionalism
People who works in this office are so unprofessional they treat you like they are doing you a favor they forget they are getting paid. When you call for any reason they never answer and the mail box are full you can't even leave a message
Excellent service in the beginning, everything quick and clear, especially my case manager Lizette Gonzalez, great customer service. After that the negotiation process (for close the case) was very slow, customer service needs to improve.
Pendas Law Firm, ha, where’d these clowns get degrees from? A crackerjack box? Drank from a cup that had chemicals in it at a Very Popular coffee chain. No contact then dropped after a year. Go anywhere else! Consider yourself warned!
I am so happy with pendas law firm Lizette Gonzalez worked my case and made me feel confident with my medical treatment and helped me going though this difficult time in my life She is been vety helful by guiding me through this case.
The professional team at Pendas Law Firm is very knowledgeable. They provided courteous service and answered all my questions and concerns. They took their time in explaining things. I would recommend them to anyone seeking counsel.
My friend recommended this office especially since I had recently moved to the area and didn't really know where to go. I'm so glad I went because they were so helpful and answered all my questions and concerns. Really nice staff.
I received exceptional customer service from Ariana Rigaud, she just blew me away with her knowledge and compassion for my unfortunate situation. She made me feel so comfortable and assured me that I would be in the right hands.
It wasn't for me. I accompanied a friend there. So far they are satisfied. Haven't heard anything negative of this firm. Doing a good job. Like most attorneys I guess it's taking a longer time with their case than they expected.
Lack of communication. Never give an update. Never return phone call even I left voice message. No one inform me that my case manger being changed ( about 3 months ago), just finally found out when I got there to drop papers.
Pendas law firm is very professional and dedicated to their clients. Madeline castro was very helpful with all my needs and satisfied with the results of my case.willing to refer to someone else or use pendas for next case
Very bad this firm was the worse experience ever in my life I will never recommend to anyone... I hate how they put commercial like they can do a lot for someone and really they don't do nothing. Really bad experience
Great lawyers who speak Spanish and English. Danny Cruz and Lizette Gonzalez helped with my case and put my parents worries at ease. They got my case over and done with within a year and helped get all my bills paid.
This law firm makes clients feel comfortable. They were attentive, professional and know about the law. Their entire office is amazing and always kept me updated on the status of my case. I highly recommend them!
My Father and my mother in law were on a accident and they settled on 10,000$ each and the law office kept getting bogus doctors invoices, and the final check they got each 1,900$. Don't recommend this Law Firm.
honestly it is unavoidable that I leave this comment and the reason I give it a star is because of the work staff, let me explain: I had the opportunity to be in the litigation of my case with the lawyer Danilo
My accident happened in 2016 and it got resolved in September of last year and thanks to Stephanie Diaz she was able to move my case along and I got my settlement check. Really happy with her service.
This law firm is the best i recommended to anyone in the area in need of legal representation very professional and caring personal, dont hesitate and give them a call Pendas Law Firm is the Best!
I received great service and lots of help from Siomara. Anytime I have a question she always has an answer or gets back with me in a timely manner to help me. I would highly recommend this firm.

Great service finally received the service I was looking for with this firm. Clear, cut and made sure to walk you every step of the way can't thank you enough Jessica G for your assistance.
Pendas, they are a piece of crap, HORRIBLE LAW FIRM, I waited 15 month for my simple case to be settled and got almost nothing. I do not recommend this law firm not even to my worst enemy.
Awesome customer service recieved by Lizette Gonzalez. She was always on top of thing and looking for our best interests. Thank you to Lizette and the Pendas law firm. Highly recommended.

Lizette Gonzalez was very helpful with everything. I apreciate everything she has done for me . I am very satisfied with the service given here at the pendas law firm
I recommend the pendas law firm to any one with a personal injury issue. Their legal assistant Caitlin Villavicencio is amazing. Always helpful and very professional.
I will love to discuss an issue with the attorney. Its not an mva case but like a liability issue and I want the opinion of the attorney about suing the individual.
I felt very comfortable letting them handle my legal matter .i would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to all who need experienced legal help.
I would recommend the pendas law firm, I'm very impressed with the customer service. Siomara Roldan is very professional and helpful to any questions I have.
I have worked with paralegal Mayra Martinez and she is awesome in explaining the legal process. I would recommend this law firm to all my family and friends
THE WORST! I Don’t have a Gmail so I’m using my husbands. To be honest this is the worst Law firm ever. I will never recommend Pendas to nobody ever again.
Been with them for the past two years and they're very good at what they do, Lizette is especially very helpful and the same goes for the rest of the team!
Haven't experienced such great customer service in a long time. Ariana Rigaud was able to provide great service!! I would definitely recommend this firm!
