Posted by Tracy | January 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Family

Stay far away from this law office!

I hired Attorney Steven Surdut in November 2016 for a family court matter. I meet with Mr. Surdut for the first time in November 2016 where I outlined all my requests which consisted of four separate issues. In January of 2017 he made a call to the attorney who represents my ex in an attempt to handl...e the matters outside of court which was refused by his attorney. I was notified by Mr. Surdut’s paralegal that we would be filing a motion to go to court. I did not have another meeting with Mr. Surdut until April 4, 2017 after much harassment and the meeting was required to review again what my issues were because he couldn’t remember despite my putting in writing for him what I was looking to do. The same occurred again which resulted in a meeting on May 23, 2017 where we discussed once again what it was that I was looking to have done and I provided him in writing with my requests AGAIN. All three meetings consisted of me telling him over and over again what I was looking to do, while he talked about his family. I can tell you all about his mom the nurse! I even provided Mr Surdut with all the necessary documents so he had no research to do for my case. For example I provided all the estimates for my daughters school and then the actual bill when he took so long. When he called me in Sept or Oct. of 2017 to have another meeting I refused and told him to just file the motions that I requested. I was given a court date in November of 2017 but it was only for one issue not the four that I had requested be addressed. I requested that the date be canceled if all issues were not addressed in the filed motion as I did not want to miss multiple days of work and he was not doing as I requested. He finally answered my request two days prior to the court date! Since that time I have emailed him with no response. I made a request for a full refund to Attorney George Comolli who is the owner of the practice on 12/11/17. I got a reply from him the same day stating he would look into things but have not heard anything from him since that day. I did receive an email from Mr. Surdut on 12/29/17 informing me that he would get me a bill for the services he claims he rendered but have not heard anything else since that time. This law office has wasted over a year of my life and I have nothing to show for it. I still have to go and file to take my ex to court and will be doing it on my own now thanks to the bad taste left in my mouth from this office and I still haven't gotten a refund and it's now 2018.
