This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

This guy is a real class act

He is not my lawyer. He is my landlord's lawyer, but I found out a lot about him and his unscrupulous character. Just by having a couple few conversations with him and that I found this bit of information. So, my question is if he was basically forced out of practicing law in Connecticut. Why is he ...allpwed in rhode island to continue such law practices https://www.noethics.net/News/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24328:x&catid=171:rhode-island-attorney-misfits&Itemid=100 Still to this day doing nefarious and unscrupulous things

Do not Hire him !!

He is awful !!!! I hired him to help my son with visitation and child support and never did anything he was supposed to have done . He messed up all the visitation for my sons to have with his son ! Never filed papers didn’t do the paper work he was supposed to have done . He looked horrible for cou...rt and smelled like weed . Never gave us copies until this day !! Never answered calls or text messages! You better off paying someone more money than getting screwed over ! Now I have to hire someone else to fix his F ups !!

LIAR nothing other than thst

This clown wasted two years of my life and still hasn’t got my child support. He smells in court literally, like a dirty diaper. He uses acid on a regular basis and accepts it as a form of payment!!! If you want an attorney to not file paperwork, look and smell disgusting (frankly almost homeless) lo...ok him up . He has a 1.5 star rating for a reason. Go look at his personal home it’s appalling! His neighbors hate him! Truly will be disbarred soon enough. Poor fella.

Genuine, Efficient Lawyer

I highly recommend Attorney Steven Surdut. His positive demeanor put me at ease from our very first conversation. After I explained my specific situation and need for a criminal lawyer, Mr. Surdut listened patiently and expressed compassion and genuine concern. He offered his legal advice and service...s on extremely short notice. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate lawyer, look no further, Steven is your guy.

Lied for 6 months!

Stay away!!! Lied twice about filing my court Docs.. with reasons and excuses..! Even told me a Constable was attempting to serve other party my Docs for 3 weeks!! Gave me her name and details to make me think all was on up n up!! But some of his responses made me question him! I called court to ...verify my case was filed, to find out he had only just filed one day pervious, 7 months after I paid him.. 6 months after he told me he filed to 1st time! 3rd lie was the Constable, I called her directly to verify, of course, she’d never heard of me or my case!! Completely unprofessional! Reporting him!
