Christina E. Pagano

Christia was hired by us a few times. She seem to get worst as time went by. 1st she did not show up in court and when called she said she would take care of. Did not happened A warrant was issued and was arrested. Did not answer calls. She stated her phone was bad. Did not answer emails or fo...llow up on duties. She could not drive so she had to depend on someone to drive her. Offered to drive her but she ended up having someone take her. She had lame excuses all of the time. We paid her in full after she agreed that if we paid she would complete case. After a while she wanted more money. Not dependable at all. Agrees to meet you but does not show up. Had to hire another lawyer to pick up where she left off with no refund. End results ended up in prison due to her neglect. Trust me I would advise anyone not to hire her. If you do all I can say is follow up, follow up and follow up.

I have been a client of Christina Pagano, for many years. When I first hired her, around 2008, she was an amazing attorney And truly worked a miracle for me, she gave me a second chance in life. However, throughout the years I have noticed her ability to represent clients dealing with Criminal Law... has been on a downward spiral. This attorney is guilty of professional misconduct, in more ways then one. She appears to be a good hearted and knowledgable individual, however, don't let her fool you. She suggests, "Bartering" as a form of payment but then, she does not hold up her end of the agreement. She does not keep clients informed of their cases, she does not show up on court dates, so the clients are therefore issued bond forfeitures and warrants for their arrest. She does not keep her clients files confidential. she allows other felon clients to read other clients files. If a client dares to ask for legal advice from another attorney, she will try her hardest to make sure you get a bond forfeiture. Chris Pagano is malicious and deceitful. There are MANY other former clients of hers, that are victims of her shenanigans and narcissistic behavior. Another thing that frightened me, was when she asked me to write several sworn affidavits, for her other clients that she is trying to get out of jail. She asked me to lie and write statements of "good character" for habitual offenders, whom of which I did not know nor associate with. If you do not comply with her wishes, your case and well being will be the last thing on her mind. I had paid her in full for services, I have already had to pay another attorney to do the work for her. Now, due to her incompetence, I am being forced to hire another attorney for a matter that she was paid to deal with, and assured me was taken care of. When I asked her about my case, she never had a straight answer for me. Needless to say, she is no longer representing me. I now have to go through this entire court process, again, hire another attorney, pay for a bond forfeiture that was caused by her negligence to me, at the time I was her client. The saddest thing of all, is the fact that the case I am referring to is just a County Court case. Christina Pagano can not even keep track of her clients files, much less their court dates.
