DO NOT EVER HIRE THIS PERSON AS YOUR LAWYER

Hired this person to represent me for a loan modification. Assured me that he had the knowledge and the experience to win. Never responded to phone calls. Could not answer questions clearly about documents sent to me. Never told me that I had been foreclosed on in another state (North Carolina) -... a state I've never set foot in. Documents missing in County Court files. Took months off for what he claimed were "mental health " issues and handed me off to a colleague who immediately started asking for more money. Am facing imminent foreclosure as the Courts and the Banks are basing my case solely on information and documentation prepared by Mr. Serpe. Have hired a second attorney to try and unravel the mess, Don't ever hire Mr. Serpe for legal representation.

Worst lawyer I have ever had

This lawyer took my documents and my money years ago. He still has not completed my case and refuses to answer my phone calls or my emails. He promised to send all my documents and the retainer to a new attorney and to this day he has not done either. He promised several times to do these things a...nd each time he had an excuse.

Bad bad bad - Do not use this lawyer (if he still is a lawyer).

I did "rush" process service for Sean C. Serpe, Esq. on August 1, 2011 and after 15 attempts to collect my meager fee of $70.00 he has not paid me and has ignored me, now his office is no longer at 450 7th Avenue, Suite 2601, NY, NY my certified RRR letter can back "undeliverable-cannot forward". Bo...y would I love to know if he is still in operation and where he works from.

DO NOT HIRE!!

HIRED FOR LOAN MOD. IN 2010 WHICH TO THIS DATE HE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING FOR US. UNRELIABLE, DISHONEST ATTORNEY . TOOK RETAINER AND DOCS AND TOOK OFF. DOES NOT FOLLOW UP WITH ANYTHING..MANY EXCUSES AS TO WHY HE HAS LOST CONTACT. LATEST EXCUSE IS HIS HEALTH ISSUES WHICH IS NOT MY PROBLEM, BUT ITS AMAZ...ING HES WELL ENOUGH TO COLLECT RETAINERS FROM POTENTIAL CLIENTS. DONE WITH EXCUSES. I BELIEVE IN KARMA, AND IT WILL CATCH UP TO HIM!!
