Joseph R Deciantis

I hired Attorney Deciantis to help me with a modification of child custody and child support. I also mailed a $5000.00 retainer fee and a year later after NOTHING had been accomplished, after he was impossible to get a hold of, he took himself off the case and failed to notify me. I am in the process... of trying to get back the unearned amount he stole from me. He certainly did not earn the fee regardless of whether his contract says "earned upon receipt." All complaints need to be filed through the Florida Bar Association. I still have to hire another attorney to finish the case I originally hired him to do. I would never recommend him to anyone. Ever.

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!

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!
