Louis Peter Pilato

Man, where do I even begin with this guy? First thing things *STAY FAR AWAY* from this guy, my family dished out 10k for this guy and he did nothing but fill my head with lies/tell me things I wanted to hear only for none of those things to come to fruition, he is extremely uncommutative and uninform...ed. "I" myself had to tell him in the jury box that a better deal had been worked out between the DA and someone more competent at the law firm he represents and Mr.Pilato had no clue what I was referring to, on top of that, Mr.Pilato had completely forgotten we had met during our second time meeting with each other, in his exact words: "he didn't want to know the details of my case and when it did come time for me to finally sign a deal he informed me I'd be getting released 2 months sooner than I actually was. I genuinely feel my family wasted 10k on this guy and that I could've got a better deal representing myself and or going with a public defender, please do your research and save yourself as well as your loved one some time and money and don't hire this guy. These 5 star reviews I am seeing are bullsh!t and maybe at one point in his younger days he was somewhat competent but now I genuinely feel it's time for him to retire. BEWARE

I am extremely happy with the results. When he walked into the courtroom it was evident he was well known. It took nearly a year to fight the case, but he was able to lower the felony to a misdemeanor with no jail time. You will not regret hiring this attorney. He has over 40 years as a criminal defe...nse lawyer and was a former DA. He knows how the DA's think. He was expensive, but worth it! The firm let me make payments after paying a down-payment.

Louis Pilato & law firm he works for Calabria Law Group. To the money I put down & ran with it. My son is facing serious charges against him and has been since Sept 2021. I hired Louis Pilato for my son case. The courts were in the process of determining if my son was competent or incompetent. due to... his disability. I had asked Louis about getting charges reduced or dropped & also the bail reduced. He said 2 cases were being looked at in my sons case. To see if he was competent or incompetent. No bail reduction motion was ever file nor charges dropped. He never went to visit my son while in Riverside County jail & it was so hard to get in contact with him. I have emails trying to reach him. One email he sent he thought it was going to the law firm he works for. It just so happened I was included in it. He was basic letting he= know he don't have time to talk to me because he is very busy. That was very upsetting to me because I was paying him. He only showed up to 3 of my sons court appearances & the 3rd one he relieved himself. He never put up a fight for my sons case. The public defender that was appointed to my son that day, told me I should report Louis Pilato to the State Bar because he had my son going straight to the state hospital. I am still fight this case for my son 1 yr 4 months later. If he was that good then my son would be out of this mess. DO NOT HIRE LOUIS PETER PILATO OR HIS LAW FIRM CALABRIA LAW GROUP.!!!!!

I wish he performed as aggressively for me as his bio claims. He should have never taken my case. He did not locate necessary divorce papers, I had to obtain them. Took him eight months to contact the Attys involved, even though he had the divorce papers in hand with their names. He had the wrong ...name & file # on correspondence. My Email requests for info and updates went unanswered for months. He should have admitted he can not help me and stopped billing me. I need a Family practice or Probate Atty and he failed to recommended either to resolve my issues. He never offered any options how to proceed until six months later he emailed me option to sue the Attys involved then asked for another $7,800.00! I terminated him, requested a refund of legal fees paid (wasted) and will file a complaint with the BAR if not refunded. Very poor performance. Anybody can write a letter then wait for months until the recipient responds with a lame excuse, what good is that? He never filed a Complaint or petitioned the Court on my behalf, nothing to resolve my issue once he was notified what needed to be submitted, of which was the reason I hired him to obtain QUDROS ordered in 2013. I am very disappointed and still needing a Family law Atty that I now can no longer afford. Distraught over this! Much more to say but will refrain. I expect a Refund. I wasted 6k and over an entire year for absolutely nothing. He never read the Calpers manual how to separate funds or obtain values, nothing; but said he has experience with QUDRO'S. Two years now with no survivor benefits from my deceased spouse. Waste of my time and money. I have requested a refund.
