Terrible - run!

Cayo has only practised law since 2012 and yet he is one of the most complained about attorneys in the state. The numbers don't lie. There are at least eight grievances against him including grievance complaints: #20-0155, Bailey v. Andre Cayo, #20-0310, Lyons v. Andre Cayo, #20-0184, Broomfield v. ...Andre Cayo, #19-0391, Francois v. Andre Cayo, #16-0654, Spahr v. Andre Cayo, and #16-0140, Bowler v. Andre Cayo. He lays it on thick as he is a great self promoter but it is, in my opinion, an act. I believe him to be a backstabber. In my opinion he has ruined the lives of several of his clients by not doing what he is supposed to do. Also beware of the monster bill in the end. Avoid him completely.

Posted by Attorney Doody | January 22, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Who said home owners cannot win a foreclosure in Connecticut?

Attorney Cayo did just that. He did not just get a dismissal which allows the bank and its financial partners to file a new suit. Instead he got a JUDGMENT in my favor as the Defendant. When Bank of America & Fannie Mae commenced a wrongful foreclosure action against me, I defended myself person...ally as best I could. I am a corporate attorney, not a trial lawyer, and as a result I did not have the necessary command of the Court procedure and rules of evidence sufficient to prevail. That's where Attorney Cayo came in. Through his legal skills and experience, he demonstrated that it's not about what happened in a Case, it's about what you can prove and disprove. In Court, a defendant can be railroaded by lying big banks and lose his legal residence. In my case, the Bank had continually stalled and refused to provide me with all of the requested discovery information. They repeatedly delayed and lied to the Court, knowing that the longer they dragged the Case out, the more likely their chances for success. I was angry, frustrated and could not believe that they could do this by continuing to lie to the Court. But then I didn’t have the trial experience that their attorneys did. I didn’t know that you could lie & deny even under oath - but that’s exactly what they did, for over 3 years! That’s when I hired Attorney Cayo, who promised me that if my story was truthful and we get fair judge, we could win the case based upon a complete presentation of the evidence. He filed papers enforcing the terms and conditions as set forth in my contract with the Bank and after four (4) days of evidentiary hearings, the Court then took eight (8) months to render its decision - JUDGMENT in favor of the Defendant (06/29/2018)!. (“http://civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/DocumentInquiry/DocumentInquiry.aspx?DocumentNo=14867832 "). I am now counter-suing Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Seterus, and their successors in interest in Federal District Court for the State of Connecticut with Attorney Cayo as my legal counsel proposing an ad damnum of US$6,000,000.00 (CASE #:3:19-cv-01191 –RNC). The District Court has already ruled that the Superior Court decision is Res Judicata and that Bank of America & its related parties cannot re-litigate what has already been proven in Court to be an intentionally wrongful foreclosure. Thanks to Attorney Cayo for taking control of this Case & pursuing justice as legally entitled! James Doody, Esq.

Skilled litigator who will got to war for you!

No other lawyer will fight harder for you than Andre. He was instrumental in getting a favorable outcome in my case. Andre kept me focused on the issues I needed to win. In my case there were multiples lawyers on the other side and I only had Andre on my side, which is more than enough. Andre exposed... an uncredible party on the witness stand leading to a favorable resolution in my case. If you find yourself in a civil dispute, I would highly recommend Andre.
