Joseph R Deciantis

Thank you for your reviews on this attorney. I used him some 3 years ago when I had to deal with my ex.....he did minimal work for the $5,000 retainer I gave him and was told the retainer was not refundable. I am in need of a lawyer again and was thinking of going back to him, but I was saved from ...that mistake after reading the previous reviews. Thank you all and thank you Avvo

He wasted a year and a half of my time, over $10, 000 and what should have taken 3 months, took 2 years. Actually, I had to fire him after a year and a half and hire another attorney who settled my divorce and child custody quickly and amicably. This attorney was negligent in returning phone calls an...d keeping me up to date on my case. I would never recommend him to anyone!

He took $2,500 from me for my divorce and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. After a year of him playing hide & seek from me I pulled the plug and got another attorney. This man never,repeat, never even filed one piece of paper. I guess he was too busy going on his vacations or driving his Porsche to bother wit...h me.

I hired Mr Deciantis for child custody and child support case. He dragged his feet with my case for approximately 2 years. He sold himself well during the free consultation but then proceeded to do very little for me over the next two years. He never answered phone calls, so I would have to schedul...e time to meet with him (and pay for that time of course) when my questions could have been answered by a simple return call. Do yourself a favor and find a competent attorney!
