A great attorney wrongly accused.

Attorney Provanzano is an attorney wrongly accused, by those writing their absurd reviews. If you look into each one then you would determine as I have that this attorney is most competent and caring. Unfortunately he tries to help those in need and they tend to distort things. Enough said.

I LOST MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE FRAUD FROM THIS ATTORNEY.

I am writing to warn everyone to stay clear of this attorney, as he commits outright fraud, and I am about to lose my house over it. Mr. Provanzano prays on people in trouble and especially the Elderly, takes their money, and leaves them worse off than they were when they walk in to ask for his hel...p. He Charged us $50,000, did not do discovery, and now we are going to trial, without being allowed to present evidence, or any witnesses, in a fraud case, we lost 1.3 million dollars. This guy even went to hearings after he quit, to make sure, we were not able to present a case in any fashion. DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY, OR YOU MAY LOSE EVERYTHING AS WE DID.

irresponsible

I consulted with him re: my landlord's refusal to reimburse my hotel costs and the many delays in restoring my apartment after a fire. He told me to tell landlord I would pay for repairs and seek reimbursement (in court if necessary), giving him 24 hour notice to arrange for repairs himself. I asked ...the Dept. of Public Health to inspect the apartment and received a notice that stated, according to “general laws, chapter 111, section 127, [sometimes you can] use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If the Framingham Board of Health....certifies that there are code violations which endager or materially impair your health, safety...and your landlord has received written notice of the violations, you may be able to use this remedy..." If the owner does not begin repairs within 5 days or complete them within 14 days, you can use up to 4 month's rent to pay for them yourself. There is no law that allows 24 hour notice and the issue is much more complex than he indicated. I told Joe about this info. and received no response. Thank God, I didn’t spent thousands of my own money. He sounded 100% confident that I would get reimbursed.
