Honest guy! Would trust him with my life!

Got into a situation and was trying to find a attorney asap. Spoke to quite a few and many of the attorneys sounded like they did not care or wanted payment before they even answer a single question! Mr. Dimitri was VERY honest and easy to talk to! Answered my questions without ever asking for a dime... and helped me feel like there are still attorneys left who really fight for justice!! Trust me! Mr. Dimitri is very well educated and experienced! Hiring him will be the best decision!

I Lost My Children Due to this Man's Incompetence.

When did the failure start? Probably when i first heard Dimitri's stammering voice. His amateurish writing and thuggish demeanor were a good tip off, but the poor quality of his submissions to the court and his complete lack of rebuttal to every false allegation made by my wife's attorney. After i...o was assaulted by my wife Dimitri advised me to seek a protection order in Family court, Many more experienced lawyers upon hearing what he advised me to do have said the same thing. This BAD advice cost me the case. The judge feeling usurped of his jurisdiction, turned against Mr Maisonet, from which Dimitri was incapable of recovery. This should have been an easy case. I was assaulted, there were Domestic Intervention orders, but Dimitri Maisonet's gross incompetence has handed my children to an abusive alcoholic. And to Cap it off His law firm unannounced to me withdrew $2000 from my bank account two days before a court date. ( they had my banking information on file) Truly one of the worst experiences of my life was dealing with this incompetent person. His damage is near impossible to undo.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
