Anthony Rocco Robusto

I hired this attorney 2 years ago. Why I waited so long for a resolution? One word trust. You assume that once you sign a contract with someone and pay the fees requested they will do what is within the allowable legal system to help. Isnt that why one becomes a defense attorney. This attorney has va...cated his office and moved out of California and never refunded me, represented me or even told me he was no longer going to assist me in my case. Unfortunate that people take advantage of people!

Consulted with Tony while in jail facing a bogus attempted murder charge. My case was self-defense, but despite the facts, Tony shook his told me there was no way out of "a looooong state prison sentence" (his words). It was clear Tony, like most attorneys, was just looking to strike a plea deal wi...th the prosecution. Long story short, I went with a different attorney, who also was only interested in money and not spending time on a trial to actually defend someone - and ended up doing 2 years 4 months total on the lesser bogus charge of "attemped manslaughter". If I went with Tony, I would have got whatever he meant by "a looooooong" sentence - I assume that means 5, 10, or more years. Bottom line: most defense attorneys just want to get you through the system fast without a trial, it's all about their money and their time, f*ck your life and f*ck the facts of the case. Couple that with the fact that prosecutors make it so risky to go to trial you'd be a fool not to plead guilty... (over 97% of felony cases never go to trial).
