Christopher P Aiello

Never met me before my case, went into court not knowing anything about the situation. Pressured me into paying him $1500 over the phone from out of state using fear of losing my son. billed me for 2 hours he did not work for me and told me he had to go to another floor to attend to "other business...". He spoke badly of me to other attorneys in an email, stating that "she cant control herself. Who knows what she will do next" when I decided to reconcile with my husband (he was mad that I fired him). Showed up in court even after I made it clear he was no longer my lawyer.

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!
