STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!!!!!

Worst legal team I have ever worked with. My opinion....stay far away. From start to finish this law firm showed little interest in my case. Knew nothing about it even at the time of trial. Never followed simple standards of conduct/ethics, doesn't return calls or emails and has showed little concern... for clients questions or concerns. All they need is Budd Fox and this place in my opinion would be chop shop of the day with the most fitting slogan...Churn and Burn!! Find another law firm. Cases are long and take a lot of work. Don't have all of that wasted by your own team not doing what's needed to win your case. Too many attorneys out there. This one.... did me as wrong as it gets! When you feel you could of fought a better case in court yourself, you know you made a mistake. Don't make the same one.....

He fought for me

Mr. Romano and his staff are the best. He fought for me when my old attorney dropped the ball and the insurance company stopped my benefits. He explained to me the process and possible outcomes of my workers' comp case as well as social security. I always got a call back from an attorney or paraleg...al. I would highly recommend him, the attorneys and his staff to anyone.

Bad legal service

I advise everyone to stay away from this law firm. Lawyers are careless and never read any thing about your case or even listen to your concerns. When I retained this law firm, one of the lawyers sent workers comp board false information about me as if he was working hand in hand with the defense tea...m. When the deposition of the defense doctor was shefuled, I sent them notes about the exam noting some false statements on the part of IME doctor only to learn later on that they never read those notes or even forwarded them to the deposing attorney. That is to say, a crucial part of the case- deposition- is largely based on improvisation, speculation and self-saficient behavior.

Most gross legal representation I have ever seen

I attained their legal services to apeal a social security benifit denial. It took over 18 months to take action then finally I got good news I won my apeal they were awarded $800 dollars . And I never received a dime 11 months after the fact they are telling me they did their job go somewhere else. ...Because they know no one will touch the case without receiving compensation which they already received and they can do nothing about it s.s. always takes their time which is all lies when I spoke to another lawyer who is trying to help me so please skip over this law firm unless you want lies,avoidance and they already did their job on paper by winning even though you yet to receive any compensation. They are the worst lawyer firm I ever dealt with.

With Gratitude

I found this law firm online when my original attorney did not care for my case in a professional manner. And I gave the original law firm two chances. I had a rather complicated SSDI case and Joseph A. Romano was with me every step of the way. How it worked for me is that I earned the "hard way" t...hat I had to take a proactive part in the process , it isn't a matter of hiring an attorney and then resting on your laurels. This law firm was patient, responsive, and professional. We worked as a team and the outcome was "favorable " meaning , after waiting nearly two years for a hearing , after a denial I had the first hearing and the Judge assigned to my case had a reputation for being really tough. Tough he was! I had to go for a second hearing! This law firm was wonderful in calming my nerves and gave me the advice I needed to go and get my medical evidence. At the second hearing, my attorney was JuJu Thomas. I lucked out with Mr. Thomas, he was just as tough an advocate for me as the Judge was in trying to find any way to deny my claim. In the end , the Judge relented and approved me then and there. The retroactive was not what we wanted but we were elated at the outcome. Mr. Thomas was the tough advocate I needed for this matter. I highly recommend this law firm ! The only thing I advise is working with the firm and keeping in close touch with your assigned paralegal. Wonderful job , Mr. Thomas and Ms. Rose ( my paralegal) . I was nearly homeless and you made a world of difference in my life.
