horrible experience

This guy has driven my case to the ground. has prolonged it to the point a new attorney wont even take my case. i have not received proper medical attention. all he cares about is getting payed. my body is not the same. He tried to train me into lying about my case, and told me he has a doctor he has... trained to say certain things for court. This is not an attorney, but a con artist. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I first brought my case to his attention back in June, he never followed up with me on my case at any moment. i had to reach out to Pisano myself, and every time i did, he never remembered who i was, and would ask me the same questions A-Z as if i were consulting with him for the very first time. He’d become upset, yelling over me, and his assistants while on a conference call with doctors, to make me an appointment. (VERY EMOTIONAL INDIVIDUAL) Would even tell me to find a new attorney when i would mention to him that hes already asked me these very same questions. I withdrew from wanting to further any services with him, and followed up with writing a review explaining the horrible experience i had, he then called me apologizing, and provided me with information regarding my case, then proceeded to ask me to remove my review. i removed the review, hoping he’d maybe begin to start taking my case a little more seriously, but did not. im supposed to have appointments scheduled with specialists, i dont know who im suppose to call. he blocked my number, and the office does not answer. 2 weeks have gone passed, and today i received a letter from court, meaning hes proceeding with my case without me even knowing about it AFTER ive already expressed i did not wish to further anything with him. FIND AN ATTORNEY YOU WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. THIS MAN HAS RUINED A LOT FOR ME. MY BODY IS NOT THE SAME. I DO NOT FEEL THE SAME. MY BODY IS NOT THE SAME. I ASKED PISANO FOR A NEW DOCTOR AND HE TOLD ME HE HAS A DOCTOR HE HAS TRAINED TO SAY CERTAIN THINGS IN COURT. I REALLY NEED A CHIROPRACTOR. NOT JUST MONEY. THIS MAN DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THAT.

HORRIBLE PERSON

He is a liar and did nothing for me at all. Didn't even show up to my case and sent some guy I never even met to represent me. He never kept in touch with me to explain what was happening since the beginning of my case. I always had to call him several times before I actually got him on the phone.... He never explained anything to me in 2 years of waiting for something to happen. Hence the reason why I had to constantly call him and chase him to find out what the status of my case. He called me out of no where stating I had to rush to the court house for my case and be there within 30 mins or I will loose my case. I have never been through this process before so I didn't know what to expect. I highly doubt a normal trustworthy lawyer would handle a case like he did. I would never recommend him to anyone. On top of not following up with me or explaining anything to me he was extremely rude and talked down to me like I was dirt. I wasn't allowed to ask questions. When I did ask a question I was yelled at and belittled. He didn't make me feel comfortable and treated me horribly.

Turned my terrible personal injury experience into a blessing in disguise!

In March of 2013, I was attacked by a large dog, who ripped the lower half of my face apart so badly that it had to be reconstructed by a plastic surgeon. The whole experience was more traumatizing that you can possibly imagine, and left me out of work with huge medical bills. John came to see me in ...the hospital the night of the surgery (which was 6 pm on a Saturday!) to discuss my case. He gave me hope, so I hired him. Over the next year and a half, Mr. Pisano worked tirelessly on my case, making decisions that I felt were absolutely in my best interest. The case finally settled in September of 2014 (which is when he originally told me would probably be the time we finished up) and I ended up with a large settlement. I was finally able to pay off all the bills that kept piling up from not working. (I ended up with very bad PTSD, so haven't been working.) My cable had been shut off, my power about to be disconnected, and I was facing eviction. I was also able to continue the medical and psychological care needed to heal from this event. I couldn't have done any of that without his hard work. Mr. Pisano is brilliant. He is fast, sharp, knowledgeable, and professional. He did SUCH an amazing job with my case. The entire time he was working on my case, I really felt he cared, and made the best decisions for my case. I highly recommend him. He's wonderful!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"John Pisano is, without question, one of the best personal injury attorneys in the state of New Jersey. There are very few attorneys who handle cases as well as Mr. Pisano. He takes a no nonsense approach to his practice to ensure that he gets the best results for each and every client. His law firm is truly unparalleled in that way. He manages every case with exceptional expertise. He is a seasoned attorney having handled thousands upon thousands of personal injury cases with outstanding results. There are countless personal injury attorneys in New Jersey, however, finding quality representation is vitally important for clients to have some peace of mind after sustaining injuries in an accident. I have worked with Mr. Pisano and have seen first-hand how his representation is far superior to that of other attorneys. Attorneys of this caliber are few and far between. Mr. Pisano is surely one of the best."
