Earl Raskosky

I hired Mr. Raskosky to handle my divorce and he did a very poor job. After settling at mediation and receiving the court papers and my settlement from the 401k, the financial settlement did not include the interest earned like it was supposed to. (Around $7,000+) my ex contested this and I had to ...fly up from Florida (I had moved) for a hearing. Mr. Raskosky did NOT represent my interests in court, he failed me completely, he not only didn’t make an argument on my behalf. He said NOTHING. The court order that I was to receive the interest from the 1 1/2 years that they had my money was reversed and I didn’t get the interest due. Keep in mind that the settlement was figured from the date of filing for divorce not the date of mediation, so I should have received this interest. I want to make it very clear that I was required to fly from Florida which cost another $600 to attend a hearing that my attorney said NOTHING!! I had even told him just prior to the hearing to make sure that the judge understood that they had basically kept the money in the 401k for 1 1/2 years before dispersing it, they kept the interest that I was due. Yet he sat there and said nothing!!! Needless to say I never received another bill from him. I did speak with another attorney after this about filing a malpractice suit for failure to represent me and I was told that I had a case but lawyers are like Dr.s and it would be a long and costly process. I couldn’t afford the cost and just wanted to move on. Beware of this attorney, he didn’t provide representation for me so will he provide it for you?
