Terrible, terrible, and just plain old terrible lawyer!

Mr. Franklin Soto deserves ZERO starst! I had gone to Mr. Franklin Soto for legal advise regarding Spanish legal documents pertaining to a deceased parent will/estate. I first called his office to find out if Mr. Soto was qualified or even accepts this type of case. Mr. Soto's receptionist stated "Mr.... Franklin Soto states what he can accept only by making an appointment." So I made an appointment. I presented and Mr. Soto directed me to his "no air conditioned room" or "sauna office" and I handed him the legal documents. Literally, in one minute, he looked up and stated, "duh, these documents are listing you as one of the heirs." I said, "I know that, but, why am I receiving the documents 10 years after my parent's death?" Mr. Franklin Soto, stated, "duh, I don't know and that will be $50.00 fee for today's consult." This useless appointment literally was no more than 5 minutes!!! And he charged me $50.00.  I reached out to another Attorney, Mr. Cevasco, at the "Archer & Greiner Firm" in Hackensack NJ. The new attorney, Mr. Cevasco asked me to fax him my legal papers and he will get back to me. Within the week,  Mr. Cevasco got back to me and explained in detail what the documents entailed: someone had filed for an court order in regards to either property, bank accounts, or just something of value, in which, I would need legal representation in that country that the legal documents were sent from. Mr. Cevasco did NOT even charge me!!!!

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Reciprocal - Discipline issued in NY, 2009

updated on 01/18/2013

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in New York.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2009

updated on 08/22/2016

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.
