Rude , mannerless and clueless

Am not sure how this person even qualifies as a lawyer. I could do better as a layperson. He is rude , obnoxious and uses every low down scumbag tactic you could imagine while inflating your bills.

Joke

The guy is a joke. Does the absolute bare minimum to collect a check. Not willing to do any leg work, something a good attorney would do for you, but will certainly charge you for his time when discussing YOUR findings. I feel like I’m an attorney at this point since I’ve had to do more for my case t...hen he has. Having simple requests granted in court by a judge is like pulling teeth and that’s if you can even get him to try. I was under the impression that when you hire an attorney you have someone in your corner willing to fight for you, instead I feel as though I’m fighting this battle alone against their attorney and my own. I now am forced to find another attorney half way through my case to try to save as much as I can, but not without spending plenty of money beforehand on this “lawyer”. Anyone considering him may want to get several other opinions before hiring. He talks a good game when you originally speak to him, but soon as you give him a retainer and has to do some work, watch your case fall apart. Very disappointed with this choice, so many better out there for the same money.

Atty. Toney Pignatiello and Eva Loftus provide excellent service!

I worked with Atty. Toney Pignatiello and Eva at the Upton Law Firm. Atty. Pignatiello handled a car accident lawsuit where myself and infant daughter were in the care and were rear ended at a stop sign. We had hired a previous attorney had completely neglected our case, phone calls and urgent de...adlines. Atty. Pignatiello took an urgent appointment with me, contacted previous attorney, made a smooth transition for us and guided me through finalizing the lawsuit. Eva's detailed work and compassionate manner helped us put an end to a two year long ordeal, and I felt understood, respected, and cared for the entire process with Upton Law Firm. I love the online file access so that I could follow case progress. Atty. Pignatiello advocated for us with both previous neglectful attorney and the other side of the case to ensure we were able to settle and that the settlement we received covered all medical bills and that we were taken care of. The Upton Law firm is now the firm we use for any legal need. I highly recommend Upton Law Firm to anyone seeking legal guidance and expertise.

Smart, knowledgeable attorney

My husband and I met with Toney Pignatiello and his excellent paralegal, Eva Loftus, and were so impressed with how much good information they gave us. We recommend them so highly.
