Closing and accident

I hired him to represent me in a closing. AFTER I was in contract he asked I wanted to use him for a buyer broker. I realize that would make him half of the broker commission which would amount to $15,000 +. Why would I do that? I was getting a $10,000 credit from the seller, a procedure that I ...never heard of but he told me it’s perfectly legal, whicjh it turned out to be true. He then said getting him or an associate to be my brokers would get me credit also. I never heard of that also. I trusted him. At closing I saw the $10,000 credit listed but no the broker credit. I kept asking but he said he would explain. Long story short, there was no credit. He had directed me to sign an after with a broker that was his brother in law. The first time I actually saw my broker was at the closing. I had spoken to him on the phone once. He said he could not advise me because he never worked I. The area where I purchased. Stupid me. I trusted him. He also represented me at the same time on an auto accident where I was stopped and got hit from behind. $10,000 damage. Their insurance company decided I was 100% at fault. He told me that in court the judge told the insurance to be real. After 3 years my lawyer me with the insurance company representative, with out my approval and suggested I settle for $4400. I realized he was done with representing me. Hiring another lawyer was not worth the expense of at least $2000. I had lost any respect for him.

Steer clear!

I hired him for a lawsuit after a motor vehicle accident, nearly 4 years later he has done nothing and after waiting I told him just settle and I ended up with $500 more than they offered me before I even hired a lawyer. He only answered my calls after I called the law office he shares space with and... spoke with the head lawyer or informed him I was going to contact the bar. He’s had my money for over a week now, states that he mailed out my check a week ago… And now when I text him that it’s still not here, his reply is that he will contact USPS as to the delay, mind you there was no mention of it being sent certified. I found him to be completely incompetent.

I highly recommend Anthony!

I hired Anthony for my criminal case and then for a traffic case and both went very well. Without his counsel it would have gotten ugly. I recommend Anthony to anyone in need of Legal help.

PROFESSIONAL!

What a professional! We have been working together for the last few months. Anthony has done an amazing job handling my case. From the office to the courtroom he maintains such a professional aura and attitude. He is very helpful and respectful in and out of court. The way he approaches the judge as ...well as his rapport with other lawyers and officials is amazing. Anthony not only shows a strong passion for his profession, but always puts his client’s best interest number one. I would recommend Anthony to anyone in need of a honorable, smart professional attorney. Thank you Anthony for your help and continued support.

Not your typical lawyer

Anthony is not like the rest of the lawyers out there. He is upfront and HONEST with you 100% of the time. He treats you like family and the the most important thing. I would highly recommend Anthony for any legal council you may need.
