Peter Phillip Gross

Pete has got to be the most non-responsive, uncaring, procrastinating, uninformed attorney I have ever met. In fact, I'm no longer sure he is actually an attorney. Do not expect any guidance or prompt responses to the most basic of questions. The only thing he is quick to do is charge you, after that..., you may not hear from him, or about your case, until he wants another payment. Do not hire this man. He is a fraud.

This isn't a case of sour grapes because, my case wasn't a loss and neither a win. This is simply to caution potential clients in the near future. Imagine retaining an attorney who then turns around and takes on a personal interest in the wellbeing of the opposing party, learn that private talks b...oth in court and outside of court took place in which your attorney refuses to divulge information then has the audacity to accuse you of acts told to him by a proven woman beater; this was my experience. This resulted in me being hurt and angry that lead to a "speaking my mind" moment to Mr. Gross through a flood of tears that eventually led to retaliation via Mr. Gross by wat of charging me for ridiculous things that neither he provided or never asked to do. In addition, he was extremely unprepared, barely retuned phone calls unless you make it known that you're recording the messages to him for documentation. He also can be very intimidated by certain Judges even with hardcore proof. I don't think he's a bad person, but he definitely needs a long course in being non judgmental, separating personal and professional and having empathy, especially in child custody/contempt cases. No client should feel emotionally and mentally drained and battered in dealing with their own legal counsel.

Mr.Gross never returns phone calls, emails, nor voicemails. He was slack on my paperwork, my divorce was delayed for 6mths until even receiving a court date . He explained the mishandling of my file was due to bad help. After finally getting a court date, this guy cancels my day in court to start wor...king for my wife by providing me with her list of demands. Never once did he ask me what were my demands. His professional advise to me was keep it simple and be the bigger person. Keeping it simple cost me more money, lost visitation with my kids, and almost my case. I paid him upfront to handle to resolve my divorece and custody battle short of submitting paperwork, he did nothing! After writing him a letter about the concerns about how he was handling my case (of course he didn't return my phone calls), he decides it is best for him to remove himself from my case. In the process he creates a new bill for me stating I owe him more money; mind you he hasn't completed the job I paid him up front for. I NEVER WENT TO COURT AND I'M STILL BEING DENIED VISITATON EVEN THOUGH I PAY CHILD SUPPORT! This guy is bogus has no real background in family law or divorce...don't waste your time or money. This guy will ruin your life!
