Jason M Pistacchio

I had hired Jason to assist my elderly mother with a partner dispute that involved a government, subsidized multi housing project . At first I was very impressed with Jason, until it seemed that paying his high retainer was all that seemed to matter. In my case, the opposing party had not filed any... legal action and there were no subpoenas, interrogatories or requests for production at the current time; only a bunch of demand letters with empty threats and fancy wording. I wanted to "hold off" on paying Jason this high retainer until there had been a court action filed, which would have required us to pay necessary money to defend the case. During a two week period my attorney bill was escalating to close to $5000 with Jason continuously arguing with opposing council with the expectation I follow their every demand. Since the property was heading to foreclosure, it was imperative that certain paperwork was completed and turned into the government. I explained to Jason that I didn't have time to argue with opposing counsel's demands, while other serious matters were imperative with government deadlines. To make a long story short, he didn't like that I was resisting his direction and advice, and expected a $25,000 retainer for him to continue his services. I went with my gut instinct, and let this guy go and handled my mom's case myself. By October 1, I was able to regain full compliance on the property as well as a substantial rental increase, starting 2017. It was the biggest increase the property has seen since it was purchased in 1982. If you are someone who is rich and has a lot of money to waste on unnecessary litigation that doesn't even exist... then Jason is the guy for you. Otherwise, do your research and hire an attorney who works on your behalf while believing in you and your case. Stay away from those who will bleed you dry while not stopping opposing council from abusing you without a care in the world.
