Hired Attorney Carlos Esq. Londono 2026I hired Carlos Alberto Londono of Alpha and Omega Law PLLC in early 2026 for my high-conflict divorce and domestic violence case in Broward County. What followed was one of the worst legal experiences of my life. From the beginning, communication was a disaster. He routinely ignored emails and important updates. When I sent detailed emails about critical hearings (including status quo hearing) and other urgent matters such as my IRS IP PIN, he refused to even read them, claiming they were “too long.” This left me completely in the dark during a case where my safety, housing, and financial survival were on the line. Because of how incompetent he was in handling my divorce case, the opposing attorney walked all over him. As a direct result of his failure to protect my interests, I was forced to go back to the food bank just to get food. Approximately three weeks before trial, he sent me a predatory supplemental retainer contract demanding more money up front. I refused to sign it. He then texted me and told me that if I did not sign it, he would withdraw from my case. Shortly after that, he dropped me — leaving me abandoned right before trial after taking my money and stringing me along. After I formally terminated him on June 29, 2026, he immediately filed a Notice of Attorney’s Charging Lien against any recovery I might receive. This felt predatory and retaliatory. He is also keeping my files hostage. I have sent him multiple emails requesting that he release my files, and he has still not done so. Throughout the representation he failed to aggressively protect my interests on temporary support, status quo enforcement, exclusive use of the marital home, and the domestic violence evidence that was central to my case. I was left scrambling, unprepared, and forced to deal with the fallout of his withdrawal right before trial. I have since filed a formal Florida Bar complaint against him and am pursuing further remedies. I strongly advise anyone considering hiring Carlos Alberto Londono or Alpha and Omega Law PLLC — especially for family law or domestic violence matters — to look elsewhere. My experience was one of abandonment, poor communication, pressure tactics, and financial harm at the worst possible time

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
