Knowledgeable, Informative and Sincere

Attorney Feola was not my original attorney for my MVA/Workers Comp claim, the original attorney took a job with another firm a month after I hired him. I was a bit anxious about having to explain my case to another attorney and start over. However, Attorney Feola was well versed in my case our first... meeting, and had a plan for our proceedings. Any issue I had with a Doctor, Workers Comp, physical therapy, etc. he took care of along with Lorrie Cohen, a great paralegal. Attorney Feola prepped me very well for my deposition. It is for this reason we were able to achieve a settlement from the careless drivers insurance company without going to trial. I would recommend Attorney Feola to anyone in need of workers comp representation. I hope to never go through the litigation process again, if I do I will call Attorney Feola.

Worst Lawyer I ever dealt with

No Communication, did not help me in my case ( took no interest ), temperamental- even testy, in too much of a hurry to acknowledge e-mails or return calls.. The list goes on & on which I suspect is the reason one can't find ANY positive reviews ( or any reviews at all )... Like many lawyers, sticks ...with a firm for awhile then moves on. Get ANY Attorney but him.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am sorry to hear of your frustration. I take pride in ensuring my clients are properly communicated with. I strive to return every phone call and email within 24 hours of receipt. Admittedly, this does not always happen. If I am in court or at hearings it is not always possible. I am fortunate to have a very capable staff so in the future I will make a concerted effort, in those instances, to have my staff contact my clients when I am unable to do so timely. We do have systems in place so that we can track when our clients contact us and when I respond. I would encourage you to call me so that we can review this to determine if and when there was a breakdown and delay in attending to your inquiries. That would help me in better serving my clients. I again thank you for your feedback.
