Not agressive for complicated cases
Did not do what I had wanted him to do. Instead came to me with a settlement with the other party after we both agreed to go to trial. He gave them new ideas on what to ask the judge for. Wow this really screwed up my case.
As this third (3rd) poor review written by you is substantially similar in nature to your Google and Facebook reviews, please see the same response I utilized to respond to your other two (2) poor reviews. First off, I am shocked and dismayed by your allegations. In my almost twenty-eight (28) years of practicing law, I have stood by the principal: Do as my client wishes. Now, every case is unique; therefore, I stand by another principal: Be transparent, unambiguous, and most importantly, realistic, with my client when weighing the merits and faults of each particular case. Throughout my involvement in your case, I lived by both principals. From the day you retained me, through the day your actions prompted me to withdraw from your case, I explained to you that your case must be handled delicately, and most importantly, strategically, because of the highly sensitive facts and profound issues surrounding your case. Further, I explained that I will “do as you wish,” but that your wishes may be difficult, or nearly impossible, to achieve because of the unfavorable circumstances in which you repeatedly placed yourself. If you recall, throughout my involvement in your case, the moment my actions successfully advanced your case one step forward, your detrimental actions moved your case five steps backward. As a result of your repeated, negative personal actions, the “aggressive representation” that you believe you desired would have further inflamed the highly sensitive issues and problematic deficiencies in your case and would have placed you in an exceptionally disadvantageous position. Further, “aggressive representation” does not always equal “antagonistic” or “hostile” representation; it does not always entail the screaming and yelling in which television has made you accustomed. I aggressively advocated for your best interests in a delicate, strategic, and calculated manner and your docket speaks for itself; any experienced family law practitioner in Allegheny County would agree. Your docket evidences and reflects the countless Motions and Petitions that I presented and won on your behalf, as well as my strenuous, often successful, defense of the numerous Motions and Petitions presented by opposing counsel in response to your repeated negative actions and prejudicial behaviors. If you recall, my successful defense of a particular Petition presented by opposing counsel prevented you from losing your house and becoming homeless. With respect to your allegations that I offered an unauthorized settlement, that my actions have caused you thousands in counsel fees, and that my actions caused a delay in your case, all are simply untrue. I have never offered a settlement prior to my client authorizing the same and will never do so. As for counsel fees, if you recall, your destructive personal actions, coupled with your volatility, prompted opposing counsel to act on behalf of her client, which, in turn, caused you to incur counsel fees, as it became necessary for me to defend your best interests. Concerning your allegation that I caused a delay in your case, if you recall, you were unavailable for multiple months, on multiple occasions, throughout my involvement in your case as a result of your damaging personal actions. It is only natural that your case would be delayed due to your repeated unavailability. In sum, to refresh your recollection of the damaging, adverse impact your negative personal actions and continued unavailability for months at a time has had on your case, I advise you to visit the docket relating to your case and review the abundance of entries, as well as the facts, contained therein. Further, as a fellow business owner in the same community, you understand the negative implications that intentional misrepresentations and deliberately untruthful allegations may have on a business.

Max feldman
There isn't enough stars to rate the service Max Feldman and his office provide to his clients. I retained Max at a time in my life when everything was falling apart with a divorce and custody matter. From day one after talking to him I knew he was a true professional with a lot of experience. He is ...

His secretary is chasing his buisiness away!!!
Max Feldman might be a good attorney but I will not be finishing my case with him because of the following reasons. I gave him a partial deposit to retain him for representing me for my mothers estate. Since I had a consultation I have repeatedly called to speak with him or have him call me so I coul...
I am very upset to receive this poor review. However, I wish to explain. I have met with the prospective client on two separate occasions to discuss an estate matter. On each occasion, I provided the prospective client with valuable information. Prior to ending each appointment, I communicated to the prospective client that in order to move forward with the case, the prospective client must retain me for my services. The prospective client did not retain me for my services on either occasion. After both of the prospective client's free consultations, the prospective client repeatedly called my office seeking legal advice. Prior to ending each phone call, my secretary, Corrie, communicated to the prospective client that I could no longer speak to the prospective client unless the prospective client retained me for my services. Corrie further informed the prospective client that my retainer agreement must be signed and returned, along with payment, before I could begin providing legal services. After repeatedly calling my office and requesting to speak with me, Corrie informed the prospective client that I must be retained for my services and will not speak to the prospective client prior to being retained. Corrie is an invaluable asset to my practice. I have never received a complaint or poor review of Corrie. In fact, my clients continuously compliment Corrie for her superb communication skills and compassionate demeanor. I have ran a professional law practice in Coraopolis, PA since 1992. I have handled thousands of cases during this period of time. In order to effectively run a law practice, I must focus my time on retained clients and those truly interested in retaining my services.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Recently needed an attorney quickly to handle a PFA hearing. We were referred by another attorney. Mr Feldman met with us quickly, explained the entire process to us and was able to handle a case within a matter of days. Couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Very intelligent and explained ...
"I have known Max for many years as an attorney and a person. He is smart, energetic, experienced and passionate. In short, he is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend Max for family law (and bankruptcy law)."
"If you want to get to know what someone is truly like, step into the ring with him. As my opposing counsel in many cases over the years, Max Feldman has shown himself to be skilled, honest and zealous."
