I hired this firm expecting professional legal representation. What I received instead was one of the most shocking displays of incompetence and negligence I have ever experienced in any professional setting.
The attorney I retained did not even appear for my scheduled court hearing. Instead, a last-minute stand-in representative showed up who openly admitted to the judge that she knew nothing about my case, did not know my name, and had not reviewed any of the facts before walking into the courtroom. Watching this unfold in front of a judge was humiliating, stressful, and deeply damaging to my case.
After failing to appear and failing to prepare a representative, the attorney then attempted to protect himself by filing a motion to dismiss rather than taking accountability for what happened. At no point was there transparency, responsibility, or meaningful communication. I was left to suffer the consequences of their complete lack of preparation and professionalism.
What makes this even more disturbing is that the firm was fully aware of my disability, and all correspondence, instructions, and communications between myself and the attorney were fully documented. Despite this, I was still subjected to this level of disregard for basic professional responsibility.
Due to my busy academic schedule and personal obligations, I have not yet had the time to fully pursue this matter. I am currently finishing my Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity with approximately 11 months remaining, and once my schedule allows, I fully intend to pursue appropriate legal action regarding this representation.
If anyone would like to know the truth about how this firm treats its clients, you are welcome to respond to this review. I will provide detailed documentation, written correspondence, and supporting evidence to substantiate everything stated here.
This experience cost me time, money, emotional stress, and severely damaged my trust in the legal system. I would never recommend this firm to anyone under any circumstances. Additional Notice: If this firm responds by claiming that this review is “negative” or “misleading,” I am fully prepared to provide supporting evidence of our communications, including recorded phone calls, written correspondence, and documented email exchanges, as well as emails from the associate who appeared in court confirming the circumstances. These records clearly reflect how I was treated as a client. When my schedule allows, I will also be reporting this matter to the Florida Bar and pursuing all appropriate legal actions, with assistance from my brother-in-law, Jimmy Cervone, Esq.
