negative, stressful experience
I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer and was "let go "at my job without any explanation from the company. I hired Anthony J. Pantuso III to represent me for discrimination and unfair termination. Here was my experience: Lack of communication-I had to reach out for an information. Answers ...
Dear Ms. Anonymous. We know exactly who you are. Please note that, due to your lies across social media, you are now liable for defamation and libel from this law firm. We have over 200 email communications to and from this client. In those emails the client continuously thanked the attorney and on multiple occasions said he did a wonderful job. These emails were, in fact, full sentences in correspondence to and from the client.This client signed a fee agreement and knwew ahead of time that all forms of communication were to be billed. This client was given extensive negotiations and strategy, and was present for a strategic teleconference to prepare her for the mediation. My paralegal was present for this. You did not represent yourself at the mediation; that is a defamatory, slanderous lie. It is another slanderous lie to state that you did not have a favorable outcome to your case. The truth is that this client accepted a lower settlement offer against my advice. My paralegal also was present for this. Please note that if you continue these lies, you are liable to be sued by this firm for defamation, for actual damages and attorneys' fees to this law firm.

Horrible
Mr.pantuso representation was horrible. He was my counsel for a discrimination case. After a fact finding hearing ( which he barely spoke for I had to text him on the side to have him Bring up the obvious statements) he dropped me as a client for no reason at all. He barely communicated and did not ...
You were dropped as a client because you owed this firm a substantial amount of money for unpaid legal fees and did not honor your contract. You were given ample time and multiple requests to catch up on these fees before you were dropped. Please note that this law firm does not work for free. You were extensively repreented during the fact-finding hearing. If need by, we would be more than happy to have the fact-finding recordings produced. You were prepared before your fact-finding hearing and were informed that most of the questioning is done by the investigator, not by the attporneys. You were advised that texting me on the side was not recommended, as my paralegal can attest. Any and all "obvious" statements should have been brought up to me before the hearing, and you were informed of this. You were well-represented and only dropped as a client because of the money you owe the attorney and this firm. Please note that lying on social media as you have done will make you liable for defamation to this law firm for actaual damages and attorneys fees.

First lawyer experience of my life
I was fired after 20 years by my employer for harassment that was given to me. Many lawyers declined my case due to the fact that it was going up against a union. But this lawyer took it. He called me for first time and within 7 seconds of our conversation he asked for my credit card number. I...
Please be advised that by you libeling us all over social media exposes you to liability for defamation to this law firm for actual damages and attorneys' fees. The truth is that Mr. T sought this law firm out through our website and was told by email that we charge for a consultation, to which he agreed. He was also sent a confirming email of this scheduled consultation that mentioned the fee. He agreed and was excited about the consultation. Please note that we can produce these emails if necessary. As far as questioning if the attorney was an attorney, this is another lie. Mr. T willfully and coherently agreed by email to a consultation, showed up at the consultation, paid for the consultation, he requested a fee agreement, and retained this law firm to represent him. Please note that my paralegal was present during that consultation. He then proceeded to sign the fee agreement, which spelled out all charges that would be made. This law firm communicated extensively with the client and has slightly under 100 emails of communication, which this lawfirm can produce if necessary. This is another slanderous lie to state that this law firm only produced three paragraphs of work for $8700. This law firm performed slightly under 30 hours of work for this client. Evidence of this can be produced if necessary. Stating repeatedly all over social media that you were charged for nothing is a slanderous, libelous outright lie that has caused damage to this law firm. Due to this, you are now liable for litigation against you from this firm. Ultimately we had to terminate representation of you because you repeatedly refused to listen to our legal advice.
