Donald Bermudez

I strongly advise against hiring this attorney. I wish I had taken the time to read his reviews before working with him. My wife and I retained his services for an ejectment case, which dragged on for months with poor communication throughout. I even flew to Pennsylvania to attend the court hearin...g, where we were ultimately awarded the ejectment. I then paid an additional $600 for the sheriff’s assistance to regain access to my property. Unfortunately, after receiving that payment, Donald Bermudez stopped responding entirely and failed to complete the service I paid for. I have since filed a formal complaint with the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Donald fumbled his words in court repeatedly, jumped up and down in court like a child in front of court personnel. Missed appointments for meetings to talk about case, did not call. Obligated to finish a case for $500, switched firms and charged $2000. and stated it was because the new firm. Complet...ely illegal as he was obligated to finish regardless of firm, firm switch had nothing to do with my husband. I have all proof in email from Donald. Also tried to charge over $500. for transcripts which he received for free, Specific Public Defender said to file charges at 1701 Market st. and use their name to confirm the transcripts were sent to him for free. If my husband and I had more time we would file charges and pray he loses his license to practice. I do not recommend Donald at all, completely clueless, childish and charges fees illegally. I’m thankful for the public defender for cleaning up his mess as he didn’t even show at last court hearing, but texted he was outside smoking a cigarette if he was needed. My husband still has 2 years to file charges and I hope he does.

I was fortunate to have found Donald on Avvo a few months ago and I consulted him regarding an ongoing landlord-tenant dispute. Don's moral character as well as his methodical and reasonable approach to problem-solving were instantaneously recognized within minutes of discussing my first legal matter.... Since then, I have consulted him for several related and unrelated legal matters - including contracts and informal/ formal resolutions between myself and opposing parties. He is very knowledgeable, resourceful, experienced and aware of the court system and provided significant insight on the legal processes if any of my disputes or complaints landed in court. As a local professional in the Philadelphia area, I am very grateful for Don's help. I only wish we connected sooner. Thanks Donald!"
