Dishonest and lacks integrity

Hired Mr. Carey for a tax appeal case after he promised me he would get it dismissed. He not only did not file my appeal but refused to give me my money back, or even return my call. I had to hire another lawyer to try and fix it, but I am afraid it is too late. He isn't an honest person. Be careful....

Paul has never let me down

This is the attorney to hire…period! He has always answered my calls when I was in need and has giving me the best advice without asking for money. I have hired him in the past and will continue to do so! He works hard for you and is not afraid to show it in court!

Review

we hired Paul for 15grand to handle my boyfriends criminal case. Right from the start he was VERY hard to get in contact with and never returned phone calls. He rarely could tell me anything new with the case. its like once he got paid he was done. he never gave me detail to questions i asked and i...n the end my boyfriend still ended up with 11yrs. i will never recommend him nor use him again.

Liar, Not worth the money

Paul made promises that he could not keep. He gave me a deal and promised to help me out. I understand lawyers are all about money, but dont sit there and tell me that you dont mind me paying it off weekly and then turn around and not do your job. I was told that I would get a case moved to a differe...nt court and dropped, according to Paul he could not get it moved. When i went to pay a fine I saw a note that said COURT CASE MOVED TO OSWEGO. Which means it was MOVED but he MOVED IT BACK because he was waiting for more money. He royallys screwed me over and I am still paying for it 3 years later. I was stupid, and young and made many mistakes but I am completely different now and still dealing with the legal issues. He failed to inform me about the laws and left meconfused. I never was able to speak with him when I called, only CHristine his paralegal would talk to me and she rarely knew what was going on with my case. I called him WEEKLY for two years. I have never been more dissapointed and upset with somebodys service. He promises to help, but DOESNT actually do it.

Gives you a dream and takes your money and leaves you to hang

He wil promise you something and then as soon as you pay him you are out on your own. He's more on the other side than yours. He doesnt call you back or keep you informed.
