John Joseph Capaldi

This lawyer was a complete disappointment. Unreliable, lazy, and careless with paperwork. He didn’t fight for me at all—John wouldn’t object to anything and just let things pass through court without question. It felt like my case didn’t matter to him, and I truly started to believe I’d never get my ...child back. After switching lawyers, it became clear just how incompetent John is. His total lack of effort showed me exactly why he’s stuck as a public defender and hasn’t progressed in his career—he’s a terrible, lazy lawyer who doesn’t care. I was able to get my child back once I had proper representation.

This lawyer Is unreliable and that's just one of the things he is . John capaldi blocked me because I got him assigned by the court and been trying to contact him for months now to meet up . John does not even text me back or pick up the phone . Last time he picked up the phone was the day of court m...eanwhile I was contacting him endlessly for him to hear me out . I didn't know what to bring to court so that's why I was trying to contact him for him to say on the day of court he don't believe me that the hospital put the drugs in me ( I now got the proper documentation that proves they did ) and he still will not meet up to see what he's representing and he likes to call you a liar about the things that happened to you but he also doesn't want to help you in anyways or give advice on how to obtain anything or what to do in regards to your case . He wants to blame me for him not answering me for months but anyone that has a losey lawyer that doesn't do anything or even text back would be very upset to . I told him about unsupervised and how I heard if I get this home assessment that I could have unsupervised he told me to get the home assessment call him back when it passed and he would petioned for unsupervised as soon as I did that the next week and got a hold of him he changed everything he said and said there was nothing we could do til next court my court date was suppose to be in March but it got changed with no notice to April . This lawyer still hasn't had the courtesy to tell me it has been changed yet . He argues about the things your doing correctly and doesn't want to give you credit for it instead he will ruin your case because he walks in knowing nothing . He's horrible . Hell use the excuse he's super busy but I've sent texts weekly multiple times over a month and he doesn't want to reply with anything rather he's getting mad at me and blocks me because I'm coming to him for some advice and the proof the hospital did that . He's not good at what he does and that's the honest truth cause he's been doing it over twenty years and still in the public defender association . I'm going to fire him next time in court because he won't dismiss his self from this case and I even told him if your to busy and can't handle my case withdrawal but he won't but he also won't work with me at all . I've tried . This is the worst situation ever I tried to tell him about the corrupt case worker he doubted me called me a liar then in February she got fired . I'm beginning to think he's like a body double he's just there to make it look good but he's actually not good at all and let the caseworker that got fired play me like something I was not . I been trying to work with him but he makes it hard and he makes it harder to obtain my child back with his representation it would probably work better if I didn't have him and just myself . I need another lawyer this one's a joke .
