Patricia K. Romeo

I hired this attorney to handle my mother's estate with a reverse mortgage . I was left to deal with the reverse mortgage company on my own. They have no record of speaking with her. She only asked me come into the office to sign a waiver to speak to the mortgage company a couple weeks before the hou...se went to closing. She and her assistant had told me that she had been communicating with them all along which according to the mortgage company was not true. I lost my job due to the immense stress of solely keeping the house from being foreclosed. The people in the office don't communicate the way they should, and iwhen I brought it to thier attention, the attitude was indignant, and they told me that I misunderstood when nothing was explained to me to begin with. I found a cash buyer for the house in hopes of the sale going smoothly. As mentioned before, I had lost my job, and needed the funds to pay my debts, including rent, that were piling up. Ms Romeo went away right before the closing and did not give anyone power of attourney to sign a check to pay me at closing, so I am now in even more financial trouble while waiting for her to return from her trip. The word incompetence has been used by several people involved with regard to this attourney. After my experience, I would not reccomend this attorney to anyone. It was a terrible experience for me.
