Robin Marmon Loguidice

Her and her partner Robert spent 3 years basically working on our case pretty much expecting a large settlement and had no interest in litigating our case. They were discourteous when we tried to contact them, lied to us about the progress of the case, didnt show up to court appearances leaving us to... handle adjournments for them on top of so many more mistakes that harmed our case. After 3.5 years of working on our case they got us the same settlement offer that the other side offered us in the beginning but they would be paid in full for their trumped up bills. When we didn't take it Grimble and LoGudice moved quickly to sue us for back fees frankly they didn't earn or deserve. In our last meeting Robert admitted that they hadn't worked on the Discovery that the other side asked for 3 years accusing us of not answering questions on it that even Robin pointed out that was their part. On top of everything theynwere never able to win any repair or problems in court while we lived in substandard conditions that the landlord would not remedy because they were trying to force us out by harrassment. Robert and robin never helped our problem and when I set up a housing court hearing to repair these problems they neglected to show up leaving us defenseless. They caused us financial losses to the other side because they mismanaged our rent to the landlord who defrauded us out of a couple months rent and almost lost our case in the process. They blamed us in this situation just like they blame us for their constant lack of oversight. I would never refer these 2 to anyone, they only care about themselves and lack true professionalism as lawyers.

I had the worst experience with Robin Loguidice. Took my case ( new landlord was suing me to try to get me out of my rent stabalized apartment) and kept adjourning for over 2 years. Had a court date a bit after and I showed up but was told my case was adjourned once again as Ms. Loguidice couldn't ...make it because she hurt her foot in the subway. I called her office to leave a message and she was there - a few blocks from the courthouse! After I confronted her I received bills charging me double the hourly rate in her retainer. I received e-mails and bills by mail all with different amounts that she said I owed, even though she wrote a letter with the right amounts to my landlord's attorney. There is more that is too complicated to explain, but she constantly lied.

To clarify why I can only give the lowest rating for Knowledgeable (under overall rating) is because she has been unresponsive in giving me information and I've had to inform her about matters she said she would look into and take care of for my case. Therefore she has shared no information with me ...about the progress of my case which would lead me to believe she has no knowledge of it. However information was given, though inaccurate, about the balance of money that was left with her by me to cover future work. I reminded her that money had been left with her, and when she returned from checking this out, the figure she gave me was a little over half of what I had actually left. She did not show me the receipt she had given me (which I have in my file) to verify her calculation. She doesn't return calls, send letters or faxes, and inform me of developments, all of these being time sensitive, to the point that deadline dates are ignored and pass and a necessary appearance in court is unattended by our side. I work to find out the ramifications of this negligence to find when informing her of what's developed that she seemingly has no knowledge of what's happening and future dates. Her inactions have caused me much more stress in an already tense situation thus affecting my already poor state of health. I will terminate my association with her before I lose the case.

Don't know how my name or my case got out into the ether, but received two calls from strangers warning me about her. Court date came, but didn't go because the secretary called in advance to say, "don't show up--it's just a hearing" and insisted "she doesn't want you there" ...that afternoon was in...formed the case was "settled" (odd--no one asked me!) when it went to trial! After years of paying for legal fees, I really would have liked my day in court. If I were to lose, then fine, but I would like to have been heard and seen. I personally know a disbarred attorney and he never behaved this badly toward clients. Amazing. Of course it all makes sense now why she didn't want me there...
