Lawrence Paul Cartelli

Horrible experience. If you already have him I highly advise to move to a new attorney. He will do what he feels is easiest for him and this most likely damage your case. One example is having evidence in a evidentiary hearing for custody. I am not sure how a lawyer can advise honestly that evidence ...isn't needed if it is crucial to a case. But that is my experience and it harmed my case significantly. Unfortunately, the bar will not address this as this was his "strategy" and is not required. Though, anyone in their right mind would know going into a custody hearing without filed evidence is insanity.

In April of 2022, I lost two sons in a car accident. July of 2022 after being harassed since April, 3 days after two of my son's died April 16th my four and two years old, dcf decided to begin to harass me. Immediately I start contacting mr cartelli, before the boys were taken in July I had informe...d him by hysterical emails documenting everything going on before even retaining him, I retained him a few days after their removal. I have listened to each word he's suggested and I am trusting him to keep his word so far he has. He is very caring, a very good person to retain as an attorney because he doesn't do this for the money he does this mostly because he wants to help and he cares. He does email back, he does call back. He's very welcoming to surprise drop ins, he always finds time to talk with me. Unlike a big law firm he's one person, against an entire court room. Trust him, what he says. If you retain him in the end youll be happy.

Mr Cartelli will no fight for you. He didn't care about my case, didn't answer my calls, and didn't discuss with me what i really need and finally didn't respect my desire, favor the other part. He only get the divorce over with. I do not recommend him at all. He even sent proposals to the judge tha...t I strictly disagreed with.

I would never hire him. In my opinion the worst lawyer (andI use that term loosely) I have ever dealt with. Wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face. We were involved in a simple probate that he dragged out and lied his way through for three years. Avoid at all costs. In my opinion....
