DO NOT HIRE HIM!

Charles is horrible. He is only aggressive in getting his money. He will make you pay in full and then nothing gets done. He started paperwork for my case 6 months after I paid him , and he dragged it for another year and end up not putting up a fight. We end up losing our case because he didnt do hi...s job. He will not return calls and text about your case. BEWARE!

PERSONAL SERVICE

I am in the entertainment business although Mr Petitto did not represent me in doing my contract, he spent a lot of hours helping me prepare my work with little or np charge. A very special attorney with great personal service.

Experienced and Dedicated Attorney

My husband and I went to Mr. Petitto to prepare our wills and other estate planning documents and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Not only were his rates reasonable, he made sure we understand all our options regarding estate planning and reccomended the best options for our situati...on. Any time me or my husband would call with a concern or question, we would receive a call back in a reasonable amount of time. Mr. Petittto is extremely professional and at all times treated us with the utmost respect. His dedication to his job was evident from the get go. We highly reccomend Mr. Petitto to everyone.

Took the money and ran

I am sorry, but Mr. Charles P is that nightmare attorney you only seem to read about. Mr. Charles was recommended by a friend as an aggressive lawyer that knows the landscape. My friend remarked that "he (Petitto) consistently gets evictions thrown out" on his behalf. This friend is constantly bac...ked up and overextended- Anyway, right out the gate Charles P was aggressive alright... in getting his fees up front. promised the world and on the day of the hearing I come to find out he never even filed our paperwork with the court (answering the landlords complaint) all while standing in front of the judge. The judge further confirmed my suspicions of Petitto by referring to his "antics" and further by suggesting I seek someone else to represent me versus my landlord. At the very worst, Charles Petitto is incompetent, at the very best he's unprofessional and his lack of professionalism came directly at my expense. And its why I feel compelled to share. Sincerely, FS
