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.

Lazy and Late

Hired him for our son's disorderly conduct case. He charged us $5000 so we were thinking we were getting a top lawyer according to his sales pitch. Instead we get someone who never returns calls, never follows up, and gets irritated, snaps, and then hangs up when we voice our concerns on how he is un...reachable. There are plenty of lawyers out there. Avoid this one!

Mr. or Ms. Sanders, my sincere apologies for your unfortunate experience. I first would like to defend my practice by stating that I have never quoted a client $5,000 on a Disorderly Conduct case. Additionally, I do not recall having a client with the last name of "Sanders" that was quoted that amount, which leads me to question the validity of this negative review about my practice, I can assure you that if I did have a client that was not satisfied, I would do everything in my power to make it right. Please use facts to back up your review so that I can rectify any unresolved matters, should they exist.

Highly Recommended

I found myself in need of an attorney when I made a driving mistake after I had been drinking with coworkers. I was scared of what I was being accused of and I reached out my network of friends that grew up in the area. I asked my friends who is the best attorney for my situation? I was given... Frank's name. I called right away and setup a meeting with Frank. We met in person and Frank explained the process and calmed my fears. Frank showed up for court on time and I won both my civil and criminal cases. During the time I spent with Frank at court I watched other people and their attorneys. I have to say there is no doubt in my mind that Frank is the best at what he does especially after watching others in similar situations. I'm sincerely grateful to Frank and while I pray my friends never get in the same situation as me. I will always give them Frank's name if they need help. Frank is a rockstar at his job and I will always be thankful for his legal services.
