William Jeffrey Pomeroy

My experience with Bill Pomeroy during a potential home purchase in Cortland was extremely disappointing. After a failed home inspection, I decided to walk away from the deal before a final contract was ever signed and well before any closing date. Despite the transaction ending at such an early s...tage, I was billed $320 for what amounted to a few emails and phone calls (totaling one hour of work)—many of which he initiated himself. In residential real estate transactions, it is widely understood that attorneys are typically paid at closing. When a deal falls apart before contracts are finalized or a closing occurs, most attorneys either waive minor preliminary work or charge very minimally. Receiving a several-hundred-dollar invoice for such limited interaction felt completely out of step with standard practice. What made the situation worse was the sense that routine matters were being unnecessarily drawn out. A simple CZO transfer discussion—something that should have been straightforward—became a prolonged exchange that only seemed to generate more billable communication. The overall experience left me with the impression that the focus was less on helping a client navigate a simple situation and more on maximizing billable interactions. Communication also felt curt and dismissive rather than client-focused. After reading other reviews here, it appears my experience may not be unique. I would strongly encourage anyone considering working with this attorney to clarify billing practices upfront and proceed with caution.

He is the absolute worst family attorney ever!! My son and we as loving grandparents have not seen our children and grandchildren in almost 2 years, yet he is still fighting for child support payments, trying to ruin my son's new LLC business and is a money grubbing fool. If you care nothing abou...t your children and want to waste thousands, go with him Otherwise bye, bye!!
