Philip Paul DeLuca

My family met with Deluca in October for a matter he said would take 4 months. We called his office for an update in February. Our calls were never answered or returned. In May, his office called to let us know our files were stolen/lost. We asked if Deluca had filed the documents necessary to pro...ceed with our case and the answer was No. We decided to terminate his services and requested a refund. From the ~$2,500, he only returned ~$400 claiming the following: $800 for a 2 hour initial client meeting (in reality, the meeting was significantly less) $525 for 3.5 hours of research $187 for 1.25 hours of research (and more...) I understand the value of a lawyer's time. However, I feel as though Deluca is lying about these items in order to keep as much of the money as possible. He never filed the documents for our case, so I really don't think he did much research for them... The reason I am writing this review is because I feel like my family was taken advantage of and would not want this to happen to anybody else's.
