Ginn & Patrou, PA - St. Augustine, Florida

I had a similar experience to a couple of others that have provided reviews on Mr. Hermes. This occurred during the summer of 2024. I had started to work with Mr. Hermes to resolve some estate issues for my parents. After the initial meeting, the man wouldn’t return emails or phone calls. His assistant kept making apologies for him but to no avail. Weeks went by before I started to find another law firm, but before we could set up any estate for my parents, they both suddenly passed away leaving me to establish estates posthumously with another lawyer. Thanks for nothing. Frustrating, disappointing and quite rude.

Absence of communication and non-existent follow up caused what should have been a simple transaction to take a very long time and be more stressful than it should have been. If you like being ghosted, calling and emailing the office for a simple update and getting no responses for weeks on end, then this place is for you.

Having trust and confidence in your legal team for any situation is a great feeling. John, Scott, and their entire team go well above my expectations and handle all my business law as well as my real estate transactions and my personal needs. GREAT TEAM! GREAT JOB!

We just purchased a home in St Augustine. We haven't purchased a home since 1996, so we were nervous about how everything would work, especially with us not being locals. Amanda and the rest of the folks involved did a fantastic job of holding our hands and helping us through the process. We're very impressed.

They started out doing great work for my family in 2020 and then became progressivly worse. They don't answer questions, don't have the paperwork on time and my last straw was to call for a new legal service 3 times and no one called me back. I am done! I found a new lawyer that treats us with respect.

Extremely overall great experience! Aside from the courtesy and professionalism, my wife and I were impressed by their efficiency. Unsurpassed timely responses and follow up. I never felt like I needed to reiterate or confirm.

Although my specific service rendered was billed at a flat rate, all my concerns and questions were patiently answered thoroughly. With absolute confidence I wouldn't hesitate to hire this firm for future representation and services.

We interviewed quite a few law firms to revise and update our estate documents when we moved full time from the Washington D.C. area and are so grateful we selected Ginn Patrou! We have had an exceptional experience working with Jonathan Hermes. His intelligence, legal acumen, professionalism and integrity are so apparent, and on top of that, he is such a pleasure to work with. He did an outstanding job updating our estate documents. He always has great insight, thoughtful advice and good solutions! He also advised us wisely on a real estate matter and an HOA matter regarding our daughter’s POA. He is a very effective communicator. Both of our adult children were in the office to sign their legal documents and commented afterwards how glad they were we selected him for our estate lawyer! Jonathan has given us the priceless gift of peace of mind when it comes to estate legal matters.

It was a great experience to work with John Ginn and Johnathan Hermes. Both of them took the time to make me feel comfortable throughout the total process. They were extremely knowledgeable of what I wanted to accomplish and carried it out in a timely fashion. I liked the upfront pricing associated with my work and that didn’t change, I would highly recommend them and look forward to doing business with them in the future, Michael.
