Jake Lasala

Hired him to represent my brother and just flat out told us the time my brother could possibly face not even looking into other options for my brother like a treatment plan. He’s not professional AT ALL. My brother knows many people that Jake has represented in rikers and they all say they are trying... to get their money back because he’s just horrible.

We hired him and thought we made a good decision but then shortly after realized that that was not the case. He was trying to make his job easier the whole time and trying to get info about the case was like pulling teeth. Calls were not answered, trying to get a hold of him was a nightmare and then ...when you finally did get him on the phone I felt rushed and I couldn’t even get out the questions I needed to ask, one time he even hung up on me when I tried to ask him one more thing. He really should not be a lawyer because he could care less about people and I don’t know how he’s still in business.

hired for a very straight forward case... essentially just filing paperwork. took multiple (read: dozens) of followup communication attempts to get anything done. I felt as if I didnt follow up every few weeks/months, nothing would have been resolved. And when he did respond, his messages never a...nswered any questions. so frustrating. stay away!

Jake had helped me with my original case and actually did a good job. When I had violated my probation i went to him and told him the situation and he said he would talk with the judge and probation department and see what could be done. he told me this would cost $3500.00. I gave him a check the ...next day and it was cashed immediately. That is the last time I heard from Jake Lasala. He never returned my calls when i tried to see the status of what he was doing. A year and a half later now, I was recently arrested for a warrent on that violation of probation. I AGAIN contacted jake to see what was going on....my mother contacted him repeatedly when i was in jail......my parrtner called and texted....NO ONE RECEIVED A RESPONSE WHILE I SAT IN JAIL. They even said, "Look, please just tell us if you will or will not represent david, he is in jail and needs an attorney. We paid you to take care of this and you obviosly haven't done a thing." he wouldn't even say NO I CAN"T REPRESENT YOUR SON. We have made a complaint about him to he Nassau Bar Assoc. The Nassau District Attorney, and the NYS Lawyer's Fund for Clent Protection. DO NOT USE JAKE LASALA
