Louis John Colella

I had this attorney represent me over 20 years ago when I got divorced. Recently, I applied for my percent of my ex-husband's military retirement, as per the divorce, only to find out he had NEVER filed the paperwork. I contacted him in early May 2011, trying to clarify the situation, and he was very... rude and short with me on the phone. I sent a copy of my divorce to him as per his request, and then received a call from him a few weeks later. Again he was agitated and rude, insisting that I had to have other papers, and he would have to check the files in Bath,NY. About 2 weeks later, I received a letter from him stating I had to pay $1200.00 up front before he would file the form that I needed--refused to even speak with me about payments. ( I recently became disabled, and my monthly total income is less than $1500.00 a month.) I then contacted another attorney in the area and that attorney has agreed to file the paper for less than 1/2 of Mr Colella's price AND will also take payments.
