Click to report rating    11/6/19   1     1     1     1     1   Liar and unprofessional. The guy encouraged me to plead guilty. Who does that? also stated he was going into teaching and that if I plead not not guilty I would have to find another attorney so I plead guilty to dui. Ruined my life forever. RID: 215973
Click to report rating    4/26/18   1     1     1     1     1   Horrible lawyer!!!! He has only talk to my fiancé 3 times and has been on his case for almost 7 months... he fails to submit the evidence that will prove him innocent... he has been to three times and two of those time he was 30+ minutes late then proceeded to kick the door of the courtroom causing a digger seen then turned the courtroom into his office by scattering papers all over the desk never brought any of the evidence he did submit to court with him... he has tried so hard to get him (a father of of five) to take a plea deal... he also has a high position in his company and mr.roden has failed to say any of this. He interrupted the JUDGE 6 times and still ran in circle on a subject that’s not agruable... just very unprofessional and rude even tho we paid him it was like he still works for the state and he even went as far as to telling my fiancé he was going to be deported although he isn’t an immigration lawyer and he doesn’t practice those laws. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! RID: 198691
Click to report rating    12/17/15   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Roden proved to be a great asset in my case. Through his hard work he was able to get my dui reduced to a reckless. Needless to say he saved me thousands of dollars with this outcome. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in this unfortunate situation. Thanks again Jerry for the early Xmas gift. RID: 162972
Click to report rating    6/9/15   1     1     1     1     1   The wise lawyer you could ever come by ! He never knew anything about my case ! He set my court date back every month for an entire year then gives me 2 options one day before my court date ! He is a nasty person who is very disrespectful with the way he talks to you as bein his client. He is VERY money hungry and doesn't not care about you or the case he only cares about money ! I owed my last payment which jerry was off by 1900 when we both knew that was not the amount I was expected to pay ! Please do not waste your time or money ! He is the devil !! RID: 155310

 5/6/14   1     1     1     1     1   Gerald Roden was the worst money decision I ever made. He never knew anything about my case. He called me by other peoples names on a consistent bases. I had to resend the same information over and over to him for reasons unknown. I only found out information on my case less than 24 hours before I was due in court. I was disrespected on multiple occasions. I received nasty emails from him. He contradicted himself multiple times. He said don't send emails on weekends or at night but yet would send me emails at 9 o'clock on Sunday night saying in due in court Monday at 9am. He failed at every aspect if being my lawyer. EVERY aspect. I would not recommend him to anyone and I most certainly would not ever hire him again RID: 136414

Click to report rating    1/6/14   5     5     5     5     5   My grandson was arrested and charged with a DUI in 2011. I contacted him and hired him to represent my grandson. I was pleased with the service provided to me and my family. I hired Attorney Roden a second time the following year for another legal matter. When faced with a personal matter that required assistance from an Attorney, Mr. Roden discussed my situation and made a recommendation for another attorney that had the appropriate expertise that I needed. Through the years, I have found Mr. Roden to be hardworking, professional, trustworty and responsive. Making a referral to another lawyer when he could have easily represented me, spoke to the fact that he is a man of integrity and character. He responds to my emails and phone calls immediately or in a timely manner. He kept me informed throughout each legal issue. His legal performance has been outstanding! I would not hesitate to contact Attorney Mr. Roden again if needed. His dedication and commitment is priceless. GC RID: 129688
Click to report rating    12/28/13   5     5     5     5     5   Gerry was amazing and down to earth, heard the facts of my boyfriends DUI case and laid out his expectations to beat the case and exactly why. He worked with us on payment and was reasonable. Kept us updated via email flawlessly and did not mind the 6 months of continued court dates we dealt with. His longstanding relationships with most of st lucie county judges made a great difference in the ease with which we won. Gerry was passionate about his drawn up motion to suppress and confident in his interpretation of the law in our favor.. needless to say we won our case, all charges and tickets dropped. I would hire him and recommend him again and again. RID: 129013
     12/19/13   5     5     5     5     5   I hired Gerald T. Roden for a criminal "bad check" felony charge that was pending against me for about 5 years. Attached to the charge was also a warrant for my arrest. Living in New Jersey, I was hoping I would be able to find an attorney that would be able to represent me from Florida and appear for me. I was very uncertain as to my fate and hoped for the best. After contacting numerous attorneys in Florida, many of them wanted an extraordinary amount of money for retainer. I finally came across Gerald T. Roden and compared to the others his experience and rates were very reasonable, considering what I was up against. I decided to retain Gerald T. Roden and put my trust in him. Not only was he able to avoid a felony conviction, but all charges were dropped and the warrant was dissolved. Every time I emailed or called him he answered me promptly, usually within minutes. I would highly recommend Gerald T. Roden for representation for any criminal matter. RID: 128741

Click to report rating    10/21/12   1     1     1     1     1   I hired Mr. Roden, to assist me in a DUI case. Mr. Roden was extremely unprofessional. He is an ex prosecutor. I thaught this might be to my advantage, was I wrong. He seems to have a deal with the prosecutors in Stuart and Ft. Pierce. once you pay him in full, you are out of luck. He wont fight for you as he states he will. He will want you to settle for the first offer from the prosecuter. It seems as if he still works for the prosecutors office, instead of working for you. I have never ever met an attorney that has sincerely forgotten, his oath. It is a shame Mr. Roden is the poster child for attorneys getting a bad name... do your self a favor and take it from me DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! RID: 93527
Click to report rating    9/19/11   5     5     5     5     5   I was very pleased in the manner Mr. Roden handled my son's DUI case. We did not reside in Florida and Mr. Roden communicated with us on a daily basis. He answered my questions and returned my emails immediately. I felt he was extremely knowledgeable in his field and I would highly recommend him. RID: 51982
Click to report rating    8/24/11   5     5     5     5     5   Jerry Roden is the lawyer you want to call if you need a fast resolution. I called his office on a Sun., for a mis-hap that occurred Sat. He was quick in returning my call, and responded to a need that I had the following day in court. He is knowledgeable, and honest. We had a child that was involved in an injury and placed in a situation that imposed a threat. My husband was arrested and faced with charges including felony. Jerry quickly reviewed the situation. He was able to prepare my husband to make his first court appearance the next day. Although I wasn't in on the details of his negotiations this quick resolution for us resulted in our case charges being dropped. Click here for his weblink: http://www.dwi.com/florida/brevard-co... I would absolutely hire Mr. Roden again and have total confidence in his ability and skills. I just wanted to say thank you for your services. You have helped save me a lot of time, money and stress by assisting me through this process! RID: 50719
