• J.P. Gonzalez-Sirgo is the founder of the Law Office of J.P. Gonzalez-Sirgo, P.A. located in the historic Douglas Entrance office complex in Coral Gables, Miami-Dade County, Florida. J.P. Gonzalez-Sirgo, P.A. takes pride in zealously representing those that have been wronged. Those injured as a result of wrongdoing. Insurance policyholders who sacrifice and work hard to make their premium payments and then find their claims delayed, ignored, lowballed, and/or denied when the need to file a claim becomes necessary, often in the midst of a tragic or catastrophic event. Our job is simply to hold Big Insurance true to the promises that they make in the insurance policies that they sell. Not a dollar more. And not a dollar less. Our mission is to hold wrongdoers accountable.

  Community Service

  J.P. is a lifetime member of the Florida International University Alumni Association and a sustaining member of the Vanderbilt University Alumni Association. He served a three (3) year term as a Member and Chair of Grievance Committee "C" of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of the Florida Bar and is also a Volunteer Lawyer with Lawyers for Children America. J.P. is also an active member of the Coral Ga bles Chamber of Commerce.

  Personal

  J.P. comes from humble beginnings. He was just a one year old when his parents arrived from Havana, Cuba to the United States in 1969. Growing up in Northwest Miami, he attended Comstock Elementary School, Kelsey L. Pharr Elementary School, and Allapattah Junior High School. Eventually, his family, which had grown to consist of his parents and four boys, settled in Hialeah, Florida. His parents owned their own business, cleaning office buildings and restaurants such as Flanigan's and retail stores including Kmart and the old McCrory's Department Store in downtown Miami. He often worked in the family business in the evenings and weekends.

  J.P. is the oldest of the four brothers. In Hialeah, he attended Palm Springs Junior High School and graduated from Hialeah High School in 1986. While at Hialeah High he participated in the Diversified Cooperative Training work program. He held jobs at Bojangles and Wendy's fast food restaurants early in his high school days. He spent the last two years of high school working the 4pm-midnight shift at his Uncle's plastics factory in Hialeah.

  After high school, he attended Miami-Dade Community College, North Campus, now known as Miami-Dade College and continued his education at Florida International University (FIU). In addition to working 30-40 hours a week as the night time dispatcher at City Gas Company while at FIU and carrying a full time student course schedule, he also served as the Sports Editor of his college paper and was a member of the Pre-Law Society. J.P. borrowed and worked his way through college, graduating with Honors from FIU in 1990 with a degree in Political Science.

  After college he took a year off to work and save money. It was during this year that he worked as a claims adjuster at De La Torre Insurance Adjusters in Miami. J.P. handled hundreds of claims on behalf of several insurance companies.

  In 1991 he went off to law school. Having been admitted to a number of law schools, J.P. chose Vanderbilt University School of Law, on a partial scholarship. Once again, he borrowed and worked his way through law school working as a Vanderbilt Reeve on campus. In his last year in law school J.P. worked at a prominent insurance defense law firm.

  J.P. learned a great deal from the individuals that he worked with during his time in claims handling and at an insurance defense law firm. However, he realized that his heart was not in representing the Goliaths of the world. After reading Jay Foonberg's How to Start and Build a Law Practice, he turned down interviews with some of the best law firms in Miami. In 1994, borrowing from credit cards, he started his own law practice in Hialeah, Florida. In 1996, he moved his office to Coral Gables, Florida where it has grown and remains today. He also makes his home in Coral Gables with his wife, Lisa, who is a family law attorney and "our" cats (they are really her cats). From day one in his practice, it has been about representing the "Davids" of the world. And he has never looked back. The insight that he gained working as a claims adjuster and working for an insurance defense law firm now serve his clients in working towards a just resolution of their claims.

  Recognitions

  J.P. has been certified as a life member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is recognized as one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts, awards, and settlements. Fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.

  Education and Bar Memberships

  J.P. graduated with Honors from Florida International University in 1990 with a degree in Political Science and obtained his law degree from Vanderbilt University School of Law in 1994. J.P. is a member of The Florida Bar since 1994 and has tried numerous cases to verdict, including both jury and non-jury trials. J.P. is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Florida, and the U.S. Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit.

well the way it stands right now a 13 year old can get an abortion at various clinics without parental consent - as they don't verify ages so why can't they decide their own lifes fate?

You need to check your state's laws regarding a 'constructive eviction.' This applies when a landlord fails to address issues that make tenancy in the rental uninhabitable allowing you ro break a lease and move. Most times it involves failure to repair water, heat, or other necessary issues. In your case you have roomates who are committing crimes. You living there are at risk of suffering criminal consequences for your roomate's actions considering that the contraband is in your place of residence. In essence this should be considered a constructive eviction. But you need to collect solid evidence that your roomates are committing crimes by possessing and consuming illegal drugs. Do not take samples of the drugs for evidence because then you are in possession and committing a crime. Call the police and file a complaint. Have the roomates arrested or cited and start building an official pattern of criminal behavior on record with them. Send letters of complaint to the landlord by registered mail and keep the receipts and a copy of the letter for yourself. Make video recordings of the roomates smoking pot. . . You will need this evidence because when you break the lease you will be sued and your best defense here is that you were constructively evicted due to your roomate's criminal behavior in the residence. But you will need a lot of proof to show that this is a continuing pattern of behavior and not a 1 time deal. Start by filing reports and complaints with the police. . . *Not sure how this would work in states with medical pot laws though. Need to contact legal aid advice from an attorney or the police for that scenerio.

do you have to get a lawyer to change your childs last and middle name? My daughters father hasn't seen her in four years and he is in prison now. I want to change her name and terminate his rights but i can't afford an expensive lawyer? What is the process?.

Do you think a judge really has the power to do this??

If i'm selling my car and someone would like to make payments to me, is there on official contract I can get saying they'll pay this amount to me by this date or else i can take the title back? Does the DMV have the stuff for this?.

In real life, if no one objects to the agreement after assets and income become known in full, then there would be no need for a purely intellectual debate, so on with the marriage.
