Poor Communication and No Follow Through

We contacted Guy 6 weeks ago to draft a simple legal document for us. He assured us that he would complete in two weeks. The document was meant to resolve a dispute with a contractor related to poor quality work. At this point, we have not heard from him in nearly two weeks and have called as well as... emailed to follow-up. His poor communication and total lack of follow-through has jeopardized the amicable agreement we had worked to negotiate with the contractor due to week after week of delay. We wish that he had been transparent about his availability and timeline so that we could have decided sooner to work with another attorney.

Guy Conti - Exceeded My Expectations

I hired Guy Conti to handle my Bankruptcy. I was unemployed for over a year and a half when guy was recommended to me to explore the option of bankruptcy. Prior to getting to the point of bankruptcy there is already a tremendous amount of daily stress, worry, embarrassment, and shame, but Guy immed...iately made me feel at ease. Guy is very knowledgeable and was thorough in detailing the entire process. Guy’s knowledge and ability to articulate everything so clearly, combined with his positive friendly demeanor definitely added a level of comfort. I am saying this with 100% honestly, I left Guy’s office completely trusting him and feeling relieved with a positive outlook for the first time in a long time. During the bankruptcy process - Guy maintained everything I said above throughout the process. He kept me informed, answered any and all of my questions, and always responded promptly. Guy was already exceeding my expectations, but went above and beyond by assisting and resolving something that ended up not being related to my bankruptcy. This helped me out tremendously, as I know the outcome would not have been the same if he hadn't assisted. I can’t thank Guy enough for all of his help and will definitely recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance. Thank you again Guy!!

Guy Conti Gets My Highest Recommendation!

To say the least, when hard financial times hit, things can become very stressful. Guy Conti was very knowledgeable and very professional, and even after my initial phone contact with Guy, much of the stress and worries were immediately alleviated. This was also true for the remainder of the process.... Guy explained all aspects completely, and I'm am sure that all the decisions I made throughout the process ultimately ended up being in my best interest, 100%! There is no way I could have done this on my own. Guy Conti patiently and clearly helped me work through all my options, and with his assistance, I was able to get the best solution for me. It is without hesitation that I give Guy my highest recommendation.

Expert Legal Advice: Professional,Compassionate: and Successful

This was the first time I have ever filed bankruptcy and I was nervous and apprehensive about the whole process. Mr. Conti was very professional, explained to me the whole process and after that first meeting, allayed my fears and left me feeling secure and non-threatened. I was also feeling very ...ashamed but he made me feel that sometimes life happens and we find ourselves in situations that when dealt with, have the ability to teach us a life lesson. Throughout the whole 7 months, Mr. Conti kept me informed of payment and action due dates. He also responded to email questions from me within 24 hours. He helped me assemble my documentation, met with me on as needed basis,and provided support throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him. He is succinct, to the point and very clear in his explanations and expectations. I would seek his legal counsel, again, if needed, for all legal questions.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a fellow attorney I can wholeheartedly endorse the careful, skilled, and client focused work that Guy does. I have worked with him as opposing counsel, on related matters, and most importantly in this challenging Michigan economy, on Bankruptcy matters. His approach to clients is always focused on their needs, and their best outcome, as determined in consultation with the client. He and his office take the extra steps to follow through on filings and successful outcomes in Bankruptcy, not just generate and file the paperwork. For the above reasons I have been referring the Short Sale and Foreclosure clients that I work with, and need a bankruptcy, or consultation as to their options, to his office. He carefully and honestly addresses their unique situation and guides them in the correct direction as to filing needs, time lines, and preservation of assets. Many times I've heard back from the people I referred to him about their favorable outcomes."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Guy is exceptional at remembering law and facts and is a walking legal encyclopedia and journal, all in one. He is way ahead of the curve on legal issues and is able to present issues in a succinct manner. At this point, he is the most effective attorney I know as he is able to move forward quickly on many legal matters without having research delays. Due to his extensive knowledge, he has the ability to outgun other attorneys when a case is in a tight spot and he isn't deterred by the possibility of having to take a case on appeal. I endorse this lawyer's work."
