Critical Filing Deadline Error Led to Financial Loss, Case Abandonment, and Potential Harm to Ojai Valley Homeowners

I retained Nicholas D’Amico from December 2, 2021, to March 8, 2023, for a case against the Ojai Valley Sanitary District (OVSD). Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, and his critical mistakes led to severe financial consequences. Miscalculation of Filing Deadline Mr. D'Amico a...dvised me on the wrong filing deadline for a writ of mandate. I filed it on the date he specified, but OVSD successfully filed a demurrer because we missed the actual deadline. This error was costly. I ended up paying thousands to him to defend his mistake, which drained my resources and forced me to abandon my case, leaving it unadjudicated. This not only impacted me directly, but the failure to get a decision on the merits could cost other homeowners in the Ojai Valley hundreds of thousands of dollars in unlawful fees imposed by OVSD. Financial Impact My case was intended to seek relief from a $12,500 bill, but I paid over $6,000 in attorney fees due to Mr. D'Amico's error. His mistake consumed all of my financial resources, and I had to drop the case entirely, losing the chance to present my case in court. On top of this, I was forced to pay his fees as he attempted to fix his own mistake. In summary, my experience with Mr. D’Amico was highly disappointing. His miscalculation of the filing deadline and the resulting financial strain not only cost me personally, but potentially left other Ojai Valley homeowners without a key legal challenge to OVSD's questionable fees. I cannot recommend his services based on these severe errors and being forced to pay his fees to try to fix his own mistake.

Pleased with my outcome

I had a rough move in to a new apartment in Culver city, Woodcliff apartments to be exact. Long story short I needed a lawyer to help me get out of the lease. Everything Nicholas informed me of was exactly what was to be expected. Though, I been nervous with outcomes before, even though I'm in the ri...ght. He reassured me time and time again. At the end of it all, I was able to receive what I hoped. I would recommend his services to everyone. He's very helpful, patient, empathic and professional.

Amazing lawyer !!!!

Nicholas helped me though an extremely hard time . I lost my home to a fire and was dealing with a lawsuit. I also was injured after the fire so couldn’t walk at the time . This was only a few months after loosing everything I owed . I had to meet him on crutches . After loosing everything than getti...ng sued for greedy Santa Monica landlords . He was very good and met with me and went over everything . His retainer was very fair and he was amazing with followed up with every single email I had . Very attentive and the law information was so valuable to be . It helped me understand the situation from a legal perspective . He helped me understand my rights and also was candid about what could happen. He has tons of experience with landlord/tenant disputes before he went to law school so is very knowledgeable of both sides . If you want a lawyer that gives you personal service and helps you feel at ease during a stressful situation this is the right lawyer for you .
