Thomas J. Caserta Jr

The worst experience I have ever had with hired help. I retained Tom 2 years ago for a simple reimbursement case. I provided all receipts and correspondence. I have yet to see a single dollar from my ex or get past a single court date without the petition being dismissed for mistakes from his office,... or withdrawn- for reasons unknown to me, still. When we had a court date, he would go weeks or months without contacting me to tell me how it went. I was always forced to hound him to refile! This is absurd behavior from an attorney. He was always calling me kiddo. I am a 34 year old single mother who has retained your services. Not appropriate. I constantly felt like I was being blown off and not taken seriously. In NYS, you are supposed to received billing statements from your attorney every 60 days. I have never once received one in 2 years. So I asked for one- no response. Two weeks later, asked again- received an unprofessional, 1 sentence response. 2 weeks after that- still nothing. I’m filing a complaint with the NYS bar, who was very interested in my experience with Tom; I suggest anyone else who has had similar experiences with this attorney do the same. I feel victimized by my own attorney and that should never happen.

This individual and his staff are very unprofessional, non responsive, extremely late in providing court ordered documentation and information. He is very ignorant and lacks the ability to support both parental sides of a custodial situation. He is extremely rude outside of the courtroom. He will not... look myself or anyone within my realm in the eye when addressed. He is non attentive to the safety of the children while in the noncustodial parents visitation and is not willing to hear out the ill treatment or various situations that my child have been forced to experience while at that parents home. He is only focused on the wellbeing and statements of a 14 year old child and did not address the existence of my disabled child until question by my legal representation. He is however, very quick to provide guidance and fabricated stories and support the "ex" in approaching CPS with have resulted in no reportable findings. I nor anyone in my immediate network would ever recommend this individual to support anyone for any legal matter. It would be below my ethical standard and an embarrassment to the legal society to do so.

This lawyer is very female biast. Mr. casserta was my kids law guardian for a court case, I had a very strong case but he sided with her even thought she had no case during the trial. Also, I have had instances where she would do something to the kids and I would contact him, he would tell me that he... was not concerned with her hitting them, but if I tried to disicpline my kids he told my ex call CPS and fight for custody. Not a trustworthy law guardian.
