Posted by Ilana | June 01, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Probate

He Failed To Help Me With My Probate Case

Mr. Charles Damian represented to me to be an experienced Probate Attorney. He is NOT a Probate Attorney. When I first spoke to him, without knowing the facts, he told me that the court will probate a Copy of a Will . For THIS Reason I hired him. I gave him a retainer of $4,500.00. After he was paid,... he turned around and told me that in the county where the will would be probated, that the judges wouldn’t accept a Copy. They would ONLY accept an Original. He was ALREADY PAID!! He did NOT offer to give the Retainer back. I urged him to file the probate petition with the court, but he recommended instead that he negotiate with my siblings out of court. Over the course of six months, he failed to discover the true value of my Mother’s Estate. He MISHANDLED the dealings with my siblings and ATE through the Retainer quickly. Than he told me that he couldn’t help any longer and find other Representation. I would NOT recommend him for Probate.

Beyond Excellent.

Mr. Damian is not only an efficient, clever and knowledgable lawyer, he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He went out of his way to save me a ton of money. After nearly 40 years in business, I have never met a professional like him.

Made buying a home easy!

Mr. Damian helped me when I purchased my first home. He was helpful, thorough and very kind. He took the time to make sure I understand every step of the process and has a wonderful staff. The paralegal he assigned to my matter was always there to answer my questions and made the entire process qu...ick and painless. I would highly recommend Mr. Damian to anyone buying or selling a home!

Out of state representation

Mr. Damian represented our California group in a most complicated real estate transaction in the state of New Jersey. He was invaluable in negotiations that avoided a lengthly legal battle in addition to demonstrating a superior knowledge of real estate law,
