Felt Taken Advantage Of

I regret hiring attorney Frank Scarpino. His mail ad made it seem like the cost for my case would be around 125 dollars, but when we met he suddenly demanded 5000 dollars. As someone who is non native English speaker, I felt scared and pressured. The entire experience was stressful. Court dates kept ...getting delayed and every time we called for an update he acted annoyed and even ended calls on us. After paying so much, we were treated with no respect. In my experience he cared only about money and not about the people who come to him for help.

Money hungry

Horrible lawyer. Lied to me on multiple occasions and demands more and more money to get you the same result you would get with a public defender. I wish I would’ve picked someone who I thought would really fight for me.

Frank is a stand up guy and a great attorney!!! He did just what he said he would. If anyone is ever in need of a great attorney, CALL FRANK!!! He was soooo friendly toward my wife and I, put us both at ease and was where he said he would be, on time. What a pro, with reasonable price too. THANK... YOU FRANK!!! Ron & Ran

Avoid!

Very disappointed with this lawyer. Received an ad from him and the amount that he charged me was several thousands more.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
