Keith Michael Casella

I am a military war veteran, 9-11 victim and first responder who is currently on disability due to illnesses from my 9-11 exposure. I explained my situation to Ralph Casella upon our first meeting and he seemed sympathetic to my cause (Later untrue) and seemed like he wanted to help. Ralph Casella un...derstood my financial situation and agreed to a small retainer and a payment plan from then on out, this has since been violated by Keith Casella (His son). They were hired almost 18 months ago to represent me in a civil lawsuit and have violated their oath to the Supreme Court of the New York. They have misrepresented my case and have caused serious damage to my case through their own actions. They have harassed me for money and have told me flat out that they are never going to do anything for my case because of money, even though I signed a contract with them on a payment plan, their actions have bordered on extortion. From what I understand of the Rules of Professional Conduct as stated in Part 1200, they have violated several items and have no reason to discharge me from representation as I have met all obligations to them. I am broke, going into bankruptcy, my house is in foreclosure because of their inaction and I can no longer afford what other attorneys are asking for as a retainer. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY. They lure you in with a sense, they will help you, they will take your money and then abandon you.
