Former client

I engaged this law firm for my divorce after Damian Turco assured me that he had and his firm had many lawyers with forensic financial accounting expertise. This turned out to be disingenuous. Damian passed the case to an associate, Amanda Gnau who was very inattentive to my case and failed to commun...icate with me as to updates on my case as she always had some excuse why it typically took her 2 or more weeks to call me back. The one time we were heard in court after a year of representation, Amanda misrepresented facts to the court and when I confronted her about it she stated” it won’t be an issue, she got so flustered by my husbands attorney that she misspoke”. Well it was an issue since my husband threatened to have me charged with perjury. I contacted Amanda to correct the record with the court and her response was that we had a breakdown in communication and she was going to withdraw from the case. I contacted Damien to take over the case or provide another attorney to which he replied that now that he is president of the MA Bar Assoc. he does not take cases and he wouldn’t provide another attorney out of 12 in his firm to take over the case. I have paid his firm $45,000 for them to withdraw 1 court day before my pre-trial conference. I have been abandoned , betrayed, and taken advantage of by this firm during a difficult time of going through a divorce after 30 years of marriage.

I'm sorry for your experience. Amanda is an outstanding attorney, and I routinely receive positive feedback from her clients. I've seen her produce exemplary work product, but it may not have been the right match. I also apologize that it appears we did not effectively communicate our experience with complex financial matters. We manage financially complex legal issues very day, including the need to identify transactions that may have occurred with the intent to hide assets in anticipation of a divorce. Several of our team members have achieved Certified Financial Litigator status from the AACFL, but that does not qualify us to do forensic accounting. When there are allegations of fraudulent transfers of wealth, an assessment is conducted by the attorney as to whether a forensic accountant or other financial expert should be engaged to further investigate the allegations. There are sometimes cases in which a fraudulent transfer is a single transaction. In other cases, there may be allegations of an ongoing pattern of deception. While an expert may not be necessary to investigate a single transfer, it may be necessary to establish a pattern. The decision to engage an expert in such an instance involves a cost/benefit analysis and is the client's decision to be made with the help of our insights. We try to be clear about when we might need to engage a financial expert, in the retainer agreement and also in discussions regarding allegations involving financial complexity throughout the representation, but it does not appear as though we were successful in this instance. I'm happy to speak with you about this at your convenience. Thanks, Jutta.

Leadership

Damian Turco managed my daughters very difficult custody modification. He showed his talent for leadership and negotiation skills during many hearings. He was always available to us and we received prompt communications. His attention to detail is so impressive as well as his honesty and integrity.... He came up with a brilliant plan and guided all parties to a successful conclusion. We will be forever grateful to Mr. Turco for his patience and kindness during this most difficult time for our family.
