Paul Michael Sanders

I had a run in with a copyright attorney recently, for torrenting a movie online. They came at me with a potential copyright infringement lawsuit. After some research on the matter, I found Paul through Antonelli Law. After a semi brief consultation, I felt comfortable moving forward with his repre...sentation. He was able to help avoid an official court case in a timely manner, and was able to get the settlement lowered to the bare minimum. I would certainly recommend him to anyone going through a similar situation.

Unfortunately, I was one of those people who believed what they saw on the internet on sites such as reddit and other forums. I did not do anything when I received th notice from my isp. Several months later I was served. I was more stressed than ever. I spoke to three different attorneys, but Antone...lli Law made me feel most at ease. I called and spoke with a receptionist. Mr. Sanders called me back instantly. He was very friendly and was very straightforward, which I appreciate in an attorney. He spoke like he knew what he was talking about. He did ask me why I did not do anything when I first received the notice and I was honest with him. He told me to always consult an attorney, and that things online can be wrong or misleading. He did not make me feel stupid for listening to online forums, but he stressed that it could put you in worse situations. I settled the matter outside of court, and what I paid was close to what Mr. Sanders indicated. I am glad taht I found Antonelli Law because they made a horrible experience, slightly better.

Paul represented me (via Antonelli Law) in my Strike 3 case. Throughout the process, he contacted me late for multiple meetings and even contacted me once midway through a scheduled meeting (which he hadn’t showed for) to say he wasn’t coming and we would have to reschedule. He failed to negotiat...e an anonymous settlement, which is advertised as one of the main perks of using Antonelli Law. Instead, my personal information was released to Strike 3 midway through negotiations. Remaining anonymous was of the utmost importance to me, and Paul and Antonelli Law failed to deliver on that promise. He was unfriendly and closed throughout the process, occasionally implying that I was being dishonest with him - which I wasn’t, of course. Instead of Paul representing me in negotiations with Strike 3, I felt like I was having to negotiate with Paul. I can’t recommend his services to anyone. He gets 2 stars instead of 1 because in the end he technically did negotiate a settlement value equal to the maximum amount I stated I was able to pay, even after pressuring me to pay more several times.
