Unprofessional and Unsafe

I would give zero stars I could. From the office staff to Mr. Salvatore himself, I had a terrible experience. The office staff even left notes on documents I requested calling me nasty names. I saw the note because the office member Missy Corsi was "doing 10 things at once" and forgot to remove it w...hen she handed it to me. There was no apology for the note only a "I'm sorry, I gave it to you" And once I fired him, he refused to answer my certified letters, emails, and phone calls concerning my itemized bill and refund. After I left him a review on his Facebook page in Nov, his assistant Missy Corsi, posted on an organization I volunteer for stating that I should not be involved in the organization because of my charges which she only knew about because of my private conversations with the law office. THEN Mr. Salvatore sends me a letter stating that he worked over 3.3 hours on my case and I will not be receiving a refund. He didn't leave an itemized bill as requested. Completely unprofessional behavior from staff and the attorney. I filed an official complaint in Annapolis because of the SEVERAL instances of unprofessional behavior and lack of communication about my refund.
