Robert H. Montefusco

Upon hiring Robert to handle my divorce, his first task was to try and reverse a stay away order my wife obtained, while stay away orders can get complicated, when you have one against you and your spouses lawyer offers to reduce it to a refrain from order, that's a gift, (huge difference and would ...have been highly beneficial to me so I could maintain the marital residence) he guided me towards challenging the order, and explained that the worst outcome would be a reduction to a refrain from but we could probably get the stay away order totally dropped. Such a bad route to take. Terrible impact on me and my family as it resulted in a longer term stay away leaving me unable to access or maintain my home and he charged me a bundle. I terminated his services. There are certain gestures, comments people make as you get to know them that truly speak to their character and motivation.

I hired Robert for a custody matter last year. I regret my decision to hire him as my Attorney. When I first meet Robert I told him what I was looking for and I was on a budget. He made it seem like he's one the best Attorneys to hire and he's very good at what he does, which I now know is a lie. Alm...ost a year later l had to settle for something I did not hire him for and spend a lot more money on his legal fees that I did not plan on spending. I hired him to take my case to trail and I felt like he used our time and money to try and settle my case. I could've hired plenty of Attorneys for a lot less to settle my case. I don't think Robert nor is his firm is worth hiring as top paid Attorney only to get results you would get from a Attorney just starting out. I would not recommend or even waste my time with this firm, they are over rated and over priced, you can find many other Attorneys that would charge a lot less for the same results. I felt like our case was dragged out and I don't feel like Robert is worth it, he filed three petitions on my behalf and two were dismissed and the last one I had to settle for less then he promised. The worst part is our petition he filed was fought and won by my X's legal aid Attorney and the second petition he filed was fought by my X's Attorney and dismissed as well cause Robert and his firm did not show any change of circumstance, which he clearly told me we have and I have great chance to win and get joint custody of my kids. The other Attorney clearly found errors in the petitions Robert and his firm filed and pointed them out to the judge and they were dismissed. With that said he filed a third petition after clearly noticing his errors. Like I said for a top paid Attorney to make rookie mistakes at my expense, I don't believe him or his firm is worth hiring.
