Unrealistic, Questionable Advice

This review is not based on sour grapes or lack of getting what I wanted. So, that being said, this review is based purely on the advise that I received and how this firm failed to do their job. The only tangible thing that I received from my dealings with them was an invoice totally more than $6000.... I was told that I had a case in a condo matter. I was told that I should continue the case regardless of the fact that I was selling it. It put the sale at risk, and they said it was all on the closing attorney to fix and not them. The only explanation is that they are completely inept and do not know the laws regarding real estate, they didn't wish to follow through or they were leading me on just to rack up the hours. I did speak with another attorney after this and they said that I was given bad advise and that it was, in fact up to Peter and his team to deal with the lender to savage the sale. However, the other attorney also told me that he never would have told me to continue pursuing the case once I put the condo up for sale. I would not under any circumstances recommend Peter or his firm.

Great Job!

I retained Attorney Calabrese to represent me in a litigation where a bank was trying to attach my house to collect on a family member's debt. Attorney Calabrese did a great job protecting my interests in court!

Posted by Krystin | December 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Defective and Dangerous Products

Amazing Lawyer!

I hired Peter Calabrese for a medical case having to do with defective hardware in my back. He went above and beyond from our first meeting until the very end. He always made sure I knew what was going on, I had every bit of information and he was one step ahead of the game. I would recommend him to... any and everyone! He is fantastic!!!

Recommended construction lawyer

I was owed many thousands of dollars by a property developer that wouldn't pay for my construction services. Peter successfully used the mechanics liens laws to secure my payment and ultimately collected all monies I was owed without having to file a lawsuit. Great job!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
