Still paying for this Incompetent fools mistakes

Back in 2018 I was appointed Rocco through the firm he was working in. I paid 2500 to have a lawyer fight a DUI I believed I had a great case in. I was also in the military at the time. After first contact Rocco assured me everything would be fine, we went over the details of the traffic stop and con...cluded our call this was in June 2018. Around august rocco informs me that my case has been postponed for a later date. I assume nothing of it, about three months go past and I ask Rocco for an update on my case. This dude has the nerve to call me and say “ Don’t freak out but there’s a warrant out for your arrest” WHAT, WTF do you mean. Why is my question and what do I tell my command. He tells me it’s for failure to appear at numerous cases. Cases which I had no knowledge of and that I assumed my LAWYER would be attending on my behalf. Not only did he never show up to any of my cases the warrant was 22 days old. The law firm refunded me my money and I had to plea to the dui because I had no lawyer . I am stillllllllll going through stuff because of this DUI that happened almost 3 years ago and could have been avoided had this imbecile just did his job. Lucky for him there isn’t a option for 0 stars

Posted by Alban | January 20, 2015 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Worthless

Mr: Rocco assures me that he would take care of the ticket I had which was a speeding ticket 18 miles over the limit. He asked me to take the online driving course and a copy of my good driving record and I did. In the end I was found guilty for speeding he charged me 400$ and he wants another 40...0$ for appeal. Which is not happening because it's not worth the hassle I emailed him the night before and the morning of the court date and he did not respond. After a few times of calling him he called me back at 9:53 am. And told me he was on his way to the court house and my ticket clearly said 10:00 am. I asked him to email or call me when he was done,and he didn't after I emailed him he replied telling me I was found guilty and sent me a link to pay the fine I had a lot of experiences with lawyers and Rocco is the worst of them all Sorry for the inconvenience all

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
