I started the Law Office of James Dolenga over 25 years ago representing clients with severe physical and mental limitations that kept them from being able to work. Many had lost everything and had no where to turn. By helping to get them on Social Security disability and MediCare, I afforded them a chance to regain some financial stability and to get necessary medical treatment to regain some control over their lives. I soon realized that prior to their disability most of these clients had no plan to handle their affairs if they were hospitalized, unable to care for themselves or passed away. When I decided to add estate planning services I quickly realized the prices that were being charged for a basic plan to simply provide direction in the event of incapacity and to distribute property to children at death kept many people from doing this critical planning. I joined a national organiation that allowed me to provide the highest quality documents at a fair price. If more detailed planning is needed, my office can provide that as well.
I started the Law Office of James Dolenga to protect clients and their families in their times of need and that is what I still do today.

Really poor attorney
I agree with another reviewer. Does NOT return calls, showed up late to my hearing, and didn't call the week prior (to my hearing like he said he would in his letter) so that I would be 'fully prepared'. He is a bunch of BS and arrogant.
Unfortunately I looked at my calendar and have not had a hearing with a client named Katherine for several months prior to this posting so I do not know who this is and cannot properly respond. My clients are always well prepared for a hearing and I tell them to meet me in person an hour prior to the hearing to go over it again (I am not late to hearings). While I think you may have commented on the wrong attorney, without more information about who you are I am unable to adequately respond and do not believe this is the forum for a discussion of your case regardless.

Don't be a sucker!
The attorney's assistant has a great come on when she's taking your first call--very empathetic, very nice. I hired him because I really thought she spoke for the office and understood what I needed. Well...fool me once shame on you...So, SHAME ON YOU JAMES DOLENGA! I had two other attorneys who w...
I am sorry you feel so strongly Kelly. Given that you were already denied by a judge and by the appeals council with a prior attorney, I would have expected you to be more familiar with the process and to have had some patience with the process. I am not sure where you think I "got to collect their money." As you are aware, I do not get paid unless we are successful with your case which is still pending. Given your level of dissatisfaction I will gladly step aside and let you reach out to the other attorneys who were so anxious to assist you and hopefully one of them can have a better result than either the attorney that was with you when you lost last time or myself.

Poor Attorney
Horrible attorney , hard to reach, never returns calls , from I can tell he is a one man show. And has no real knowledge on the laws or obtaining documents . Puts everything on the back burner and waits to the last minute to advise clients of up coming court dates ...
