Daniel Eduardo Pizarro

If you read this review and still hire Daniel Pizarro you can't say you weren't warned. I worked directly with attorney Pizarro as he was assigned to work my case by his employer Thomas Dickson. Perhaps the individuals that gave him 5 star ratings did so on false pretenses. I found Mr. Pizarro comple...tely inexperience and lacking legal gravitas. I was forced to spend a great deal of time on the phone with Pizarro and sent dozens of emails to him to get him up to speed. This was a complete duplication of effort as I had already done the exact same thing with Pizarro’s boss – Thomas Dickson. Not only was this an extremely frustrating experience – I felt like I was paying for Pizarro’s continuing education. Having being a licensed realtor, real estate investor and rental property owner for ~35 years I felt Pizarro didn’t know much about real estate. Mr. Pizarro was working for the law firm Dickson/Frohlich when I was involved with him. Thomas L Dickson and his partner Daniel J Frohlich are both rated on AVVO as 1 star attorneys. Their reviews by others all indicate that they overcharge their clients, lack professionalism, and fail to communicate with their clients. I agree. Don’t take my word on it. Just type in their names and see for yourself. Same on Yelp and other attorney review web-sites. Unfortunately, as a senior citizen, I was not aware of these rating web sites before I hired Dickson/Frohlich law firm. I agreed to hire Dickson as he talks a great talk when I was interviewing attorneys to hire for my case. He claimed that he had more than ~30 years of experience. To me – experience equates into efficiency. And efficiency equates into value and cost savings. I had no idea that Dickson was going to turn over my case to Mr. Pizarro. What I learned from this experience is Dickson/Frohlich hires inexperienced new attorneys, i.e., Pizarro, and uses them to do case management. However, because these junior attorneys have little or no experience they have to consult with Dickson/Frohlich about every little aspect of your case. Both Pizarro and Dickson’s names appeared on the on the documents that were prepared for my case. The end result in my situation - I ended up paying for 2 attorneys. I received a bill for more than $4K for 5 pages, (double spaced, huge top and bottom page margins), for a simple standard summons and complaint for breach of contact. (1.5 pages for the summons, and 3.5 pages for the complaint). What a joke. These are cut and paste documents that should have taken a paralegal 15 minutes to prepare. Being shell shock after seeing my bill – I called other attorneys to determine if this was a reasonable price for a simple summons and complaint. The consensuses was – no is was not a reasonable price. From the 4 attorneys that I talked to I found that the average price for this work should have been around ~$2,500. Not more than $4,000.00. I fired Pizarro and hired one of those attorney’s. I can tell you my new attorney not only consulted with me to get the case going but consulted with apposing attorney, prepared and filed court documents, appeared at a hearing, argued and won the hearing, prepared and filed more documents, and debriefed me – all for less than $4K. If you want to pay double to get little or nothing – Pizarro is your guy.

After my initial consultation, Daniel was able to initiate processes immediately that brought me peace of mind and his representation is exactly what I was looking for. Recommended by another attorney, Daniel has already brought our stress level down by 100% knowing that we are in capable hands. Th...ank you!
