David Morisset

He is a criminal, he signs up clients and changes his number after money has been exchanged. Do not hire or retain him for anything legal. I hired him and now am pursuing legal action against him, for the services he did not provide as signed/agreed upon in our client retainer agreement. He practices... in Brooklyn, NY.

If you want a lawyer who is MIA he is the right one for you. Hired this guy for a symple divorce case and two years later I'm still married and i cant get to him calls not being answered, voicemail ia always full, text not being returned, and mail being returned to sender. Needless to say I'm super ...disappointed in his service

I visited Mr. Morisset in his office on February 13, 2015, for a free in-person consultation to discuss my case. After meeting with him and reflecting on his qualifications and proposed legal strategy, I decided to hire him to represent me. On February 18th, 2015, I mailed him the retainer and emai...led him the signed agreement and my court appearance ticket so that he knew where and when to appear. My court date was scheduled for March 16, 2015, and I on March 13, 2015, spoke to him and confirmed that he would be in court. On the morning of my court date, I arrived at 8:45AM (appearance time was 9AM) and sent him a text and phone call letting him know once again where to meet me. By 9:10AM, I received neither a phone call nor a text response so I after speaking with the court marshall proceeded into court and argued my own case. I called him after leaving court and received no answer so I left court to get to work. That evening, I sent him an email that he was terminated and asked him to please return my retainer. His response to my request was that he had worked on my case (as shown above, he never arrived in court for the appearance time) and that he would only return $1,150 of my $1,500 retainer. I immediately filed a small claims case against him and his business. After several small court appearances (NYC courts are very backlogged), I received a settlement against him in February of 2016. I called and texted Mr. Morisset over a 6-month period to request payment but received no response. I consulted the NYC Marshal and they informed me that they could easily take on my case and were perplexed as well about why an attorney wouldn't pay a judgment (illegal and unethical). After 6 months, I filed a levy with the NYC Marshal and they levied his bank account for the funds. Mr. Morisset is an unreliable attorney for, 1) Failing to appear in court 2) Refusing to returning my retainer when he did no work 3) Refusing to pay me even after a judgment had been issued If you'd like more backup, I'm happy to provide more documentation on my claim as I have emails, texts, and court documents proving his unethical actions.

David Morisset is a friend's referral. Her uncle, now dec'd was David's mentor. And her uncle was one smart guy, and a great lawyer. He argued cases were argued before the Supreme Court., and he won. David is one smart guy too, and he's a very nice guy too. I am grateful to him for the way he ...handled my case.
