Victor M Saul

We felt that Victor Saul failed us in several ways. When we withheld rent because our landlord wasn't making repairs, Victor talked a very good game and we thought he was doing the right thing for us. We felt as if we had won the first case, but we didn't. The landlord made less than half of the requ...ired repairs and got all of the money that was entrusted to Mr. Saul, and Mr. Saul gave him the money before the repairs were even performed. We ran into the same issue a few months later with the same landlord refusing to do repairs. This time we hadn't had air conditioning on the second floor since June 28th with our 5 children sleeping in the living room so they wouldn't get heat exhaustion and it was August. He told us we should just move our family to "avoid further aggravation". We were unable to be at the court date as we were out of state on business that couldn't be put off. He insisted that we sign a sheet of paper for him so that he could write in the agreement made at the court that day, then bullied us into agreeing on a date telling us we can't stay there for free, our conversation wasn't going anywhere, only in circles, and we needed to agree upon a date. We told him we couldn't possibly find a place and move before the 22nd. He badgered and bullied us into the 18th, and then when he was in court with our landlord, he called and bullied us into agreeing to the 15th saying that was the absolute best he could do and that we can't live for free. He never once mentioned the fact that we were being forced to move our 7 person family because our landlord was refusing to do required repairs on the property. When we got back to NJ, we realized that he had also agreed, without our knowledge, to not file for a stay which could have given us a few more days to find a new place. When we called him about how unhappy we were with the agreement and the parts we didn't know about previously, he insinuated that he had to make those concessions because we weren't there and if we had only been at the court date we could have had a more favorable agreement. He heaped contempt on the reason we were out of state(marriage seminar that saved our marriage which was on the brink of divorce), stating outright that the court date was more important and we should have been there. We ended up homeless, even though we paid Victor Saul over $1000 to help us with our case. The real kicker? Our landlord wasn't even a registered landlord and we found out after the fact that Victor Saul could have used that fact to get the case thrown out of court because you can't file for eviction if you're not a landlord. Instead, I feel like we paid him over $1000 to work for our landlord because we ended up homeless when we legally should not have been. If you are a tenant don't bother to hire this guy. No matter how much your roof is leaking, how much mold is growing, or how hot your kids are, no matter how much stuff is broken and not fixed in your rental, he will work for your landlord to get you out of there and on your dime. He will use phrases like - You can't live for free, You don't want the expense of a trial, This conversation is going in circles, We need to make a decision now, You should probably just move because this isn't going to change, Your landlord isn't such a bad guy, he just wants to get paid, and Don't forget, you can't live for free, etc. Homeless with 5 children is not how I expected to end up after paying a lawyer over $1000.

Mr. Saul is an awesome lawyer. I had a financial situation that could only be solved with filing for bankruptcy. From the moment we made contact Mr. Saul did not judge me, and made me feel like in was his only priority. A moment in my life that could have been stressful, was easier than tasting pi...es. Mr. Saul was available for phone calls and emails. All of my questions were answered right away. There was always an open door policy. Mr. Saul is both professional and personal; something you need in a lawyer, because when it's time to need a lawyer you need someone who will make you feel at ease in your most vulnerable time.

He was so very helpful with all the paperwork i needed to complete. He was always available when I needed him. I felt horrible about filing bankruptcy, but he made me feel better about myself!!! Believe me if you need a lawyer and choose him you to will be very happy you made the choice to hire V...ictor Saul.
