Posted by Leo | July 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Please read and assess for yourself!

If you're looking for entertainment, I suggest you definitely go to Feifer and Greenberg, because this Law Firm is a big fat joke! I hired this law firm to represent me in court for failure to yield to traffic when turning left in one of the Bureaus of New York. I live in South Jersey, which is about... 2 hours from the city, and so I was told that I shouldn't appear in court with the lawyer. To make a long story short, I received this ticket in Novemer of 2015. I hired F A G, LLC almost 2 years ago to represent me. A month later I get a call that they are postponing my case for six months, for the strategic purpose of getting a better judge, to which I am forced to have this ticket hanging over my head for 6 months. These 6 months go by and I get an email that my case has been postponed another 6 or so months, which angered me deeply since that's a year of having my case postponed for a damn traffic ticket. That time goes by and I get yet another email, this time postponed for 9 months. Finally 10/10/17 came my court date, and the next day I get an email from them saying that they could not win my case. COULDN’T WIN MY CASE FOR A DAMN TRAFFIC TICKET AFTER 2 YEARS OF TRYING! When questioned about why this happened, his response was that the cop’s testimony was too good for them to fight it. But, isn’t that what a lawyer is supposed to know how to do? One of two possible things could have happened here in my opinion. One, they didn’t put enough effort in fighting this, or two, they didn’t have the expertise to deal with this HARD case. So, two years went by, and all I got out of this was stress over a ticket which I didn’t even deserve, a fine of 98 dollars, 3 points on my insurance, and a 250 dollar charge to the lawyer. And to make matter worse, I didn’t even get a call from the lawyer; I had to hunt Mr. Greenberg down for 3 days to talk to him. Their customer service has the same vibe that a large corporation has: Make as much money as possible, and screw the client. This is the first and only lawyer that I’ve ever hired that I felt like cared about making a few bucks from me so much, that as long as he appeared in court for me, that’s all that matters. Win or lose, he already has his money because I paid up front. I’m not normally an emotional person, but this had to be said, because I don’t want anybody to waste two years waiting to be found not guilty, only to be found guilty at the end and being hundreds of dollars in the hole, when you can just find a better lawyer who actually cares and knows what he or she is doing. Like I said before, while it is quite entertaining to watch someone be so bad at their job, if you actually want a serious lawyer go elsewhere!!!

Leonid, You were informed when you retained us that your case would go to trial and that there was a risk you would ultimately be found guilty of the charge. You hired us with that knowledge. We also told you that we would do everything in our power to win the case including making multiple trips to court if necessary. Most clients want us to make every effort and exhaust all options rather than go into trial when it isnt optimal to do so. We made four separate trips to court to try to win your case before we finally had to conduct the trial. It would have been much easier to for us simply do the trial when the case was on for the first time rather than go back and forth, but we know most of our clients appreciate the effort. Had you ever mentioned to us that you would have preferred us to not make this effort and simply do the case as quickly as possible, we could have made that happen. You were notified of the result of your hearing on 10/10/17 and we spoke that day about your case. You then called back a few days later and demanded a refund for the services you contracted for. I told you that you are not entitled to a refund because we did exactly what we hired to do. Fight your case. You responded by issuing a threat that if we didn't refund your money, you would post negative reviews on social media. You are a man of your word. But there is another word that describes your behaviour as well. Extortion - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extortion Extortion (also called shakedown, outwrestling and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution, through coercion.
