We went to Mr. Chimeri for a botched Real Estate closing that needed to be litigated. While we do not hold him responsible for the closing, we do hold him responsible for how he handled our case and a major mistake as he filed a Les Pendes without suing for the proper cause of action. By that mista...ke, the litigation and his costs would exceed the cost of the return of our down payment of $35,000. Luckily we contacted Nassau And Suffolk Legal Project and we found a wonderful attorney who handled the entire case probono. The case went to a 3 day trial and our second attorney was absolutely amazing as he defended us and questioned the Seller and his attorney. In the end we won the case, only later to have Mr. Chimeri charge and threaten to sue us for short time representing us while filing the Les Pendes. The attorney that won the case for us, charged us NOTHING; and Mr. Chimeri charged us 6 figures for his mistake in representing us. I'll let you be the Judge. Personally, I think Mr. Chimeri should return the money, as he should have been the one to charge pro-bono. Good luck!
