Best Lawyer in Atlantic City!

He was so friendly, waived my consultation fee, and even had very reasonable prices! considering the fact that he wins 80% of his cases, you would think he would be very expensive to hire. he is the only lawyer I've come across that actually cares about, and fights for, his clients. very pleased with the service I received from the law office of J. David Alcantara, Esq.

a TRUE LAWYER-PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENTS.

I HAVE KNOWN MR ALCANTARA FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. DURING THESEYEARS HE HAS BEEN A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. HE HAS DEDICATED HIS TIME AND EFFORT IN HELPING ME WITH LEGAL ISSUES I ENCOUNTERED. FIRST, WITH A DISGROUTED EMPLOYEE I TERMINATED AND SHE SUED ME FOR LOSSES -- MR. ALCANTARA TOOK OVER THE CASE AND MADE THE PLAINTIFF QUIT. SECOND, HE HELPED ME WITH A BUSINESS PREDATOR WHO TRIED TO TAKE OVER MY BUSINESSA AFTER I ASKED FOR A BUSINESS COOPERATION; MR ALCANTARA UNDERSTOOD THE CASE AND GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO UNMASK THIS HYPOCRATE. MR. ALWAYS WORKED WITH ME AND WAS ALWAYS ATTEMTIVE TO MY INTEREST. I DEFINETELY RECOMEND MR. ALCANTARA AS A LAWYER

Multilingual Alcantara servers a diverse range of clients in various types of matters.

I have hired this attorney for several cases over the last 18 years. Those included divorce and other matters, both business and private. In all cases, he has been responsive and willing to work hard to get the result I desired. I recommend him and have referred several clients to him. He was the attorney for my company in Atlantic City for 15 years and I have seen his skills develop and sharpen.

Horrible excuse for a lawyer!

He was horrible! I had to end up redoing all the paperwork he did wrong. He cost me thousands of dollars in his fees and UNNECESSARY paper work. He made us wait an extra year, and in the end all he did was cost us time and money. I ended up doing all the paperwork on my own and getting my husband his papers with NO help only problems from him. I was also warned from the people at immagration that he was not properly trained to do the work we needed from him and he had hurt and ripped off many other people in the past just like us. He is a horrible excuse for a lawyer! NEVER hire him!!!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1995.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 1995
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.
