Jonathan T. Gilbert
Read this listing narrowly. His published specialism is medical malpractice, not rideshare — he says he has focused on it since 2009 and takes referrals from other firms for it. The firm's rideshare page is also visibly old: it still names Sidecar as a current competitor and cites a poll with no source.
The bar record
We read Jonathan T. Gilbert in the Florida Bar’s member directory. Rows below the line are the ones the member fills in, not the Bar.
Florida publishes ten years, and only ten years. The line above reads 10-Year Discipline History: None. That is a statement about the last decade, not about a career. The Florida Bar is authoritative on what it covers — it publishes bar number, standing, eligibility, admission date and discipline, and it stands behind all of it — but it says nothing whatever about the years before the window opens.
On this page that matters enormously. Timothy David has been admitted forty-one years, so the register reaches under a quarter of his career. Four of the twelve lawyers here have been admitted long enough that most of their record sits outside it. Four others were admitted recently enough that the window covers everything.
And the lower half of the record is the lawyer’s own. Sections, practice areas, languages and firm size are filled in by the member, not verified by the Bar. Six of our twelve Orlando listings left practice areas blank entirely. Where it is filled in it is the only place a register on this site will say what a lawyer holds himself out to do — which is why one entry here reading “Criminal, Criminal Appellate” is worth stopping on.
What the record shows
His biography describes a practice specialised in medical malpractice since 2009, with referrals from other firms, and a Super Lawyers designation in medical malpractice every year since 2015. Rideshare work does not appear in it. The rideshare page is the firm’s and names no lawyer.Verified
That page names Sidecar alongside Uber and Lyft as a current service. Sidecar ceased operating at the end of 2015 — the third listing on this site whose firm page still carries it, after two in San Francisco.Verified
It also refers to a recent poll of Florida residents on rideshare regulation without naming the poll, the year or who conducted it. We reprint nothing from it.Verified
His register record is one of the fuller ones here: four federal courts, a section, a firm size and a firm website.Verified
