Landlord in a landlord-tenant case

I hired Mr. Mastanduno to represent me in a landlord-tenant case. I lost the case because Mr. Mastanduno failed in many ways. He did not object to the introduction of a video that according to law, had to be approved by the people in it. He neglected to contact my witness the police officer in a time...ly manner so that his testimony, though heard by the judge, could not be used to turn the case around. He forgot to respond to the counterclaims completely and my case was almost immediately dismissed. He allowed the key witness in my case to stay in the courtroom so that he could no longer be called to counter the opposing testimony. I didn't know there were that many errors to be made! He then still refused to refund my money. Mr. Mastanduno should learn to be responsible if he makes an error and not allow his clients to lose money based on his incompetence. I am always willing to forgive someone if they take responsibility, but this was not the case. Even the opposing counsel said that they would testify that his representation was malpractice if I took it to trial. Unfortunately, that would cost me upwards of 25, 000 dollars.
