Mr. Petitto

Charles handled my case very well, I think. He knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened in that court, and he obtained for me, at least, a pretty good resolution of my landlord tenant problem. After his representatioin, I had no more worries about that issue in my life.

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

Dependable Attorney

Mr. Petitto has handled quite a number of holdover proceedings for me. The cases generally go smoothly - some ending with inquest, but most ending with signed stipulations. Some of the context for some of the cases weren't simple. But any time I needed advice or clarification as to the proper proc...edure or just to understand both my rights as well as the people I'm taking to court, he was usually just a txt msg away. In the event that a situation couldn't be explained via txt, I'd call him or he'd call me and we'd discuss it until I understood. Contrary to some of my experiences with other attorneys, I never had a problem with his returning my calls. I find that Mr. Petitto takes his job seriously and approaches his work as though he has a personal stake in the outcome. Sometimes I'll even find that Mr. Petitto's working on my case and providing updates even after he's left the office for the day - even sometimes on the weekend. To me, that shows dedication. I have, and continue to recommend Mr. Petitto to family and friends seeking representation.
