Jennifer M. Lamanna

I was actually working with my very first attorney on my divorce case and Attorney Lamanna's partner knew about my case through a common friend and indirectly influenced me that my current attorney is not doing good Job as expected in my case and she will provide me a very effective and better rate r...epresentation. I am not sure if she has ever done any divorce cases but she promised me a fair and good representation and made a commitment to not do double billing with me. During our intake when I went with my handicap father, she was introduced to me by her associate attorney. I assumed that they work together or in parallel but did not know at that time that I will be double billed for the same hour and same discussion which I found out much later when I saw my first invoice. She and her partner post ridiculous billing hours and did not stop charging me even after I fired them. Not sure I would ever recommend this attorney as she was rude, threatened me to withdraw from my case, very disrespectful to the client and will not take calls or respond to emails for several days and only created more problems for me and my ex-wife. Sad part is that I hired her based upon a strong recommendations from a close friend and put all my trust into her and her partner. They are just interested in making money out of you. If you want to waste your hard earned money, get insulted, threatened and get your case compromised then go ahead and hire attorney Jennifer. She and her associate will trick you and will win your confidence in the beginning. She will not send you invoice in a timely manner and when she sends you have to watch it carefully for errors and double/ triple billings and want you to pay them before they give you invoice on their retainer. After her associate met my spouse her behavior changed towards me and she and her partner started ignoring me and my case with long period of no communication and ignored my repeated emails/text and calls. She will fail to keep her promised phone appointment as by this time they had cashed my $25000/- check in just 2 months. I have documented all there wrong doing and going to file a complaint to the Bar counsel for partial refund on my fee paid to them. God bless them and their practice as these unethical and crooked lawyers do not care for clients who are vulnerable, emotional wrecks and suffering from the hands of their own spouses and bring bad name to this profession. She is supposed to help her clients but she speaks to them in a rude and intimidating manner and forces her ideas and is not willing to listen to them. She also misquoted her rates in her invoice and corrected only when you protest and show her signed agreement.I also found out that she reached out to my current divorce attorney and tried to influence him and my case in retaliation as I reviewed her on AVVO and threatened me as usual again to put lean against my house for overbilling me in retaliation even after I fired her and her partner from my case 20 + days back. In fact she send her invoice to my new attorney and tried to influence him in my case. I wish her well and their practice as these unethical and crooked lawyers do not care for clients who are vulnerable, emotional wrecks and suffering from the hands of their own spouses and bring bad name to this profession. I am taking this very seriously so that other innocent clients who are looking for justice shall not get into her trap. I will ask for relief from Probate and Family court and with Bar council. Thank God there are still good and ethical attorneys who understand my pain and are willing to fight for justice and ethical treatment of the clients.
