Nicholas J. Bachand

Mr. Nicholas J Bachand accomplished nothing besides draining our bank account in order to bring more money to the Lucido Law Firm. When I first met with him during the initial free consult he was very interested in explaining his fees than gathering details of my case. Right on the spot after about... five minutes in the conversation he asked me If I wanted to pursue my case and charged me a $1500 retainer. After $1500, it was a $1000 then $500 and continuing on. He did not accomplish any positive changes in court but instead was very smart on canceling meetings and/or postponing hearings in order to charge more fees. After 2-3 trips to the court I realized that I chose the worst lawyer in that firm, and that he was so incompetent with no knowledge of the law. He also was giving confidential information to the opposite lawyer and when in court I was paying him to chat with the other lawyer or to be the referees assistant. We would agree on certain conditions and compromises in the case but when in court he would state another decision, leaving me clueless on what to say in front of judge/referee. He was rude, not available and a waste of money. I guess he only has the word "lawyer" on his diploma that he has in his pseudo office. His skills as a lawyer were horrible, he seemed like a messenger boy, an extremely expensive crappy one. I was keeping my promise and always paid him when I received his invoices (actually overpaid the amount owed-He would charge me to the stamp placed on the envelope REALLY??).I would receive communication and invoices of other clients (with all of their personal and case information: where is the PRIVACY LAW here); in his defense he would tell me that his secretary was guilty for those incidents. I then decided to take matters in my own hands due to his terrible attitude and laziness. I told him he was fired, and after my paid in full balance I ended up receiving more charges for hours never worked, but in his own sneaky and fraud ways he accomplished to find some forgotten charges. Unless you like squandering money and not getting any tangible results that you could have gotten for the price of Fake Lawyer, the ones you find on TV, I would NOT RECOMMEND him, EVER., not even to my worst enemy. He is horrible as a person and as a lawyer.
