Incompetent

Mr. Spitzzeri lacks communication skills and knowledge of the law in terms of handling liens in a personal injury case. Hence the treasury department demanded payment from me. Mr. Spitzzeri refused to resolve or attempt to resolve this issue stating "Everything was settled don't worry about it" He re...fused to answer questions or concerns and took a larger amount of settlement than agreed upon. Most of the excuses were "I never received that" He did not inform client of closing office or a valid number or address to send information after knowing this lien issue needed to be handled. Any competent attorney knows government agency liens take priority over others and must notify them when settlement has been reached. Mr. Spitzzeri made inappropriate and false comments about me when reported to the Disciplinary Commision. He sent them pieces of paper work omitting pertinent parts. Never sent documentation of ANYTHING. I could go on and on, point by point but it all boils down to the same issue.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
