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 ...

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...
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.

"I have had the honor to see Mr. Scarpino conduct himself as a zealous advocate in the court room. Frank focuses his energy and attention on each case as if it's his only case. He represents his clients in a vigorous, diligent and professional manner that has earned him the respect of both defense attorneys and prosecutors alike. He is always well prepared and will not hesitate to have a hearing when necessary. Without question I endorse Frank Scarpino."
"Frank Scarpino is a top attorney who is well respected by prosecutors, judges and Secretary of State hearing officers. When I was a prosecutor, I often had cases against Frank and I know first hand, he is as good as they come! He really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile!"
