Lance D Quaranto

He was the cheapest of several attorneys I spoke to, and you get what you pay for. In this case it cost me a lot more since he lost what should have been an easy case to win since I was in the right and could prove the plaintiff was lying. It seemed as though he'd never acted as a trial attorney b...efore. His courtroom demeanor was mediocre - he looked like a deer in headlights at times, baffled as to how to respond to the judge or what to do next. He failed to thoroghly cross-examine the plaintiff and their witness. He failed to request all information that I had or suggest I take photos which, as it turned out, would have proven the plaintiff was lying on the stand. He failed to respond to settlement offers made by the plaintiff's attorney. I discovered this later when I got copies of the 'Affidavit of Attorney Fees and Costs' from the court. The plaintiff's attorney stated that "defense counsel's refusal to to entertain plaintiff's settlement offer(s), and failure to offer any counter-proposals, resulted in unnecessary litigation and expense for both parties."
