Posted by RICHARD | October 25, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Unprepared, unconcerned, unresponsible and unbelievably rude, and incompetent

Unresponsible ? to mean he showed up to a hearing for a summary judgement motion telling me it was an inconsequential hearing and would not change my chances of prevailing. More than just being unprepared , he had not been assigned to my case, I had never seen him before and he and knew nothing abou...t it. But through his actions he did more for the other side than he did for me. He refused to look at any case changing documents, refused to hear anything I had to say, refused to honor my request to postpone the hearing, and plunged forward with cookbook defense while completely missing the critical details. Then he had audacity to blame me for his incompetence .It was as if he was being aid by the other side to loose the case, as it would be hard to be more incompetent than he was. But according to a A large number of reviews on line, and I believe a majority of on line reviews, state that the entire law firm he works for, Zelenitz+Shapiro et al, consistently demonstrates a lack integrity, responsibility, and ethical standards, and prefers to fleece the client of their money than actually trying to win a case, as evidenced by taking my money, and for an entire year, never even assigning an attorney to my case, refusing to review huge amount of supporting evidence I have, talking with my prior attorney who documented bad faith, never spoke with any of us to find out what happened and other critical details, never provide. d any statement of expenses for doing noting, misrepresenting a critical hearing as being inconsequential and discouraging me from attending, not talking to the prior attorney who documented the bad faith of the opposing side, never speaking with us or anyone who was actually involved in the case, and instead using a cookbook generic approach that was not appropriate in our case. They refused my offer to not point the finger at them or file complaints or hold them responsible so we could just move forward so I would not be wrongly evicted and end up on the street. That would mean requesting a re-hearing and filing a solid appeal. Instead they refused to discuss anything and dropped me like a hot potato, refusing to take my calls or answer my emails. They never provided any statement of account yet took the entire retainer. They also falsely told me there is noting I can do to correct their negligence or how to overcome it so I am not unjustly evicted. They refuse to admit they did anything wrong, when they did EVERYTHING, wrong. THE LARGE NUMBER OF ON LINE REVIEWS THAT SAY ALMOST THE SAME THINGS GO BACK TO 2O14 AND SHOW A DISTINCT PATTERN OF ABUSING CLIENTS TO TAKE THEIR MONEY AND NOT GIVE A FLYING ____ ABOUT WINING THEIR CASES.
