Regrets that I hired Joseph Palmisano

I hired him with a paid retainer of $8000. he was readily available before payment and afterwords my calls begin going to voicemail. He did not disclose that he had a pending criminal case himself. He missed many court dates as well and then requested more money.

The biggest regret of my life was hiring Joseph Palmisano

I retained him in April 2013 to represent my husband. I paid him $3,000 for him to do nothing. He filed no motions, didn't even show up to half of the court dates. He himself was arrested for shooting his secretary's ex. He did not do a damn thing but take my money. In October of 2013 He quit 2 days... before trial and sent me a bill for $14,000. It took him and his office 4 months to hand over my husbands file, which he didn't even do. All he gave was a police report and nothing else. Trial is now set for next week and the new attorney appointed doesn't even have a discovery to look at to begin to prepare for trial. Its been almost a year since I retained him and my husband is still sitting in jail. The original trial date was set for September 2013 but because of him doing nothing but pushing this case back and then quitting has caused so many things. I told him after he got into his own trouble that if he felt he could not represent my husband to the best of his ability to please let my know so I can find someone else. But that if he said yes he could and would I would stand by him 100% he said yes. He LIED. I do not recommend him to my worst enemy. He might have been an excellent attorney in the past but not any more.

He took my money

I retained Mr. Palmisano in December 2012 then never heard from him again. He and his secretary, Caitlyn, never returned my daily calls and emails. I retained a new lawyer after Mr. Palmisano did not show up for my first court appearance. I continue efforts to contract Mr. Palmisano for a refund with...out success.
