Lied to me, no itemized Bill or signed contract.

I paid Mr. Hartt with Cashiers Checks. Not only did I NOT obtain a written contract or ITEMIZED BILL. As far as I know, almost at the six year point, after I called Mr. Hartt. HE DID NOTHING! NO ITEMIZED BILL, NO WRITTEN CONTRACT. I complained to the attorney grievance committee & their respo...nse wasn’t commensurate considering his misconduct according to the NYS Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct. What made it worse? I consulted with a female attorney at the Cohen & Lombardo Firm, (ironically the same firm that served process for my landlord’s eviction proceeding where I had affirmative defenses against the eviction,) they lied & said Mr. Hartt did “nothing wrong.” My file was “mysteriously” missing. Mr. Hartt...what did you do to “earn” what I paid you?

Jim, I do not know who you are because you have not identified yourself, and I am not at all familiar with the circumstances you relay in your “review”. I would like to be able to address any real concerns you have if in fact I represented you. If you are a former client of mine, call me. If you are not a former client of mine, I ask that you remove this "review" immediately.

Wrong Choice

Had this attorney stand as a legal tool for me, only to learn he is unskilled and ill-prepared for serious cases. After this attorney charged thousands of dollars, I had learned that he was out-sourcing his official responsibilities and this was another factor in realizing I had made the Wrong Choice... in selecting him for service.

This review is not only anonymous, but wholly unfamiliar to me. Without any information as to the case or client this review relates to, it is impossible for me to respond or even authenticate. I take each and every client's case seriously. The rates I charge are affordable and reasonable as compared to similarly situated attorneys. I always try to leave clients better off after having retained me. The reality is that employment litigation is a difficult field of practice. Inevitably, some clients do not prevail despite the attorney's best efforts. As to "outsourcing", I do not "outsource" cases. Any case that I handle is handled only by me. If you are a former client that is dissatisfied with my representation, I encourage you to communicate with me directly so that we may have an open, and honest interaction. Suffice it to say, I care deeply about each and every client, yet, as good a record as I have, I will never be able to "win them all".
