Christopher P Aiello

in an effort to establish a meaningful relationship with my daughter in Michigan, it sort of required me to live there and hire an attorney from that area. Mr. Christopher Aiello talks a good game and pretends to have knowledge of the law, but melts away when challenged. Daughter's mother insisted o...n family counseling, so after several sessions with the court ordered service, she now wants to use her personal psychologist she had been seeing for quite a while. Dr. H does not accept insurance and she wants me to pay for it and I never did get the reason she was going. Drawing the line in the sand, I told Mr. Chris Aiello that we would finish the family counseling with the court first. Before I knew it, Mr. Aiello agreed to her wishes. I dug my feet in and refused, held in contempt and jailed. I never got any feedback or recommendations from Dr. H, and was sort of confused because my daughter and her mother lived with the grandmother in the old homestead, yet the grandmother was never involved with the sessions. My daughter actually spent more waking time with the grandmother than the mother...the mother worked at night as a hotel clerk, so daughter only saw her on days off..

I am currently using this guy. I knew nothing about divorce and hired him blindly. He was quick to ask for my money and then never returned calls, never did anything really and I am trying to figure out what I need to do next. The last time I called him, I explained my situation and he literally said... "what do you want me to do next". He is the lawyer, shouldn;t he be telling me what to do next? He is absolutely a joke of a lawyer, should be investigated for fraudulently "defending" people and disbarred.

I had my divorce done by Chris Aiello about one year ago. He seemed very aggressive which is somewhat what I wanted. I didn't want someone who would let another walk all over him. I blindly retained him without doing enough research & put my complete trust in him. He obviously knew that I was scare...d and knew nothing about how to proceed. Even though I filed first, my ex husband's lawyer ended up filing & drafting most of the documents. They were constantly waiting on him & he seemed to drag it out much longer than needed, knowing that I had been a stay-at-home mom & my ex was laid off. I felt that he was overly aggressive on issues that he was unable to enforce or back up. After the divorce was final, he wanted nothing more to do with me, stating that if I had further questions, that I could retain him again. Due to several issues that weren't very clear in our papers, I've had to seek out another lawyer to fix these, costing me another couple thousand at the very least that should have been resolved within the first JOD. His recommendations have been a disaster, contributing to the fact that I have to now retain a second lawyer. Four out of the five lawyers that I spoke with last week literally groaned when I told them who my lawyer had been. Now I'm left to pick up the pieces & go through this all over again!! I wish someone had warned me! I let hime take advantage of my fear, uncertainty & trust. And that he did! I have no problem with the money that lawyers make. But I know that there are some who truly have their client's best interest at heart and want to do what's right. I feel that Mr. Aiello's first & only priority is what he's going to make & how he's going to benefit. What a shame. Do your research & interview other lawyers...there are many really great ones out there!

when he was hired he said he would have no problem getting information if daughter was HIV positive as a result of mother testing positive at time of daughters birth.... he told me as he was taking my retainer that the father has a right to know such information... I had test done when finding out th...is information and am not positive .... how would you feel if you were subjected to the risk of a deadly infection by a person who knew they were infected yet did not inform you?... I was furious then and even more furious when an attorney takes money and says he can get results yet does nothing...

After spending the time reviewing the file and signing an agreement with Mr. Aiello, his assistant charged 30+ hours to review my file then he charged another 30+ hours to review the file again. When he took the case he was made aware of the fact that the mother was to provide health insurance for ...daughter per the Friends of Court meeting. He was also presented with the documentation of my declining the use of the mother's psychologist for family counseling. Before I knew it, I was being held in contempt for no insurance and refusing to see said psychologist. Mr. Aiello did not attend the Friend of Court meeting to review said charges.
