DO NOT HIRE !

If I could give this man a negative rating on this review board I would. Trying to reach Donny is like trying to get in contact with the President of the United States. He is always unavailable, never returns your phone calls, and rarely shows to court . If you need copy's if your paperwork Don't... hold your breath because you will NEVER receive it. This man gives lawyers a bad reputation. Avoid hiring this guy, he is a waste of your time and money , I'm over 10,000 dollars in debt because of this man, and I have been trying to get divorced since 2007. Since hiring Donny I am still married, and more in debt then I have ever been in my life.

This is a reflection of the firm that I previously worked for. As an employee of that firm I was constrained to follow their billing procedures. I truly wish Mike the best and I hope he understands that his situation was out of my hands due to the constraints on me by my former employer. I left the firm more then seven (7) years ago.

I hired Donny in June 2008 and this was the worst decision I ever could've made. I was more stressed with my lawyer than I was about the divorce. He is completely unreliable, hard to reach and never returns calls. He could not care less about my well being and 30,000 later - yes 30,000. I was sti...ll married 4 years later. I removed him from his "non service" and took the loss. I hired another lawyer and within 3 months I was divorced. This man should look for a new profession.

This is an unfortunate situation. I remember this action as it was not a simple matter given that Mrs. Ramos' husband was uncooperative. There were multiple issues that required court intervention. Given that I worked for Bryan Salamone's office at the time, there were constraints on the manner in which I was able to practice (of which I left his employment in 2011 for those specific reasons). I understand Mrs. Ramos' frustration and I sympathize; however, the circumstances surrounding the 'non service' does not reflect my ability or the way that I practice as an attorney. It is a reflection of the firm that I left. As an associate of the firm I was required to follow the firm's billing procedure.
