Outstanding attorney

I retained mr. Feintuch after interviewing several attorneys. He recognized the issues and advised me how he and his staff would prosecute my case. Following a trial I was awarded $400,00.00. I do not believe the negative comments made by others

A Terrible Experience

Mr. Feintuch was not prepared in court at all. He arrived an hour late and did not know what was going on. I was very disappointed. I wish I would have read previous reviews about this lawyer.

Poor advice

In my case, Mr. Feintuch did not recommend a competency trial when one was warranted. He also appeared to be supporting the other side's argument. At one point I had to clarify where he stood. During trial he came to me and said, "I don't know what else to say" when he was making his argument. ...Clearly he was not prepared. I would not recommend him.

Wrong advice and rude

He was rude and curt with me even though I was his client. He didn't negotiate hard with the opposing counsel and advised me wrongly on a default judgment. He advised me to settle even though i claimed it wasn't my debt. He then wrongly advised me to go to court and file to remove the wage garnishmen...t and the court told me otherwise when I went down to the court. He didn't bother to follow up with the opposing lawyers and in the meanwhile my wages were being garnished. He didn't complete what I had paid him for in advance and I had to fire him. My next lawyer got the judgment thrown out of the court and closed the case without me having to pay a dime since it wasn't my debt. Philip Feintuch is a terrible lawyer and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2001

updated on 12/11/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
