Unprofessional and questionable judgment

I consulted with Mr. Antoniello, I did not hire him. During our meeting it seemed as if everything was going well. He gave me adequate time. At the end of the meeting he said some cliche saying along the lines of "I think your case truly deserves to be heard and you need justice." Which could have be...en genuine but was poorly executed if it was. The person accompanying me was not thrilled with him and was wondering if he was just agreeing to take me on for cash in his pocket. Regardless, the actual problem in my opinion comes afterward. He sent passive aggressive emails after I did not respond to his assistant within a few hours. When we were just corresponding to each other, he did not answer an email that did not necessarily require an answer but then about a month later decides to shoot an email over saying "soo (insert words here)..........." I cannot imagine having someone speaking like that representing my livelihood and career. Talk with your friends, partner or assistant like that but not someone who is going to be potentially hiring you. Not to mention, he would not tell me what the rate would be if I hired him for my case. He would not even tell me if it would be contingency or what. On the other hand, he would give me a contract/retainer to write and send letters for to gather the information for the suit. But would not tell me how much he would be charging for representation... that had to be worked out, when the contract rate was determined in less than 5 minutes. Huge red flag as well. Overall disappointed, would not recommend.

Respectfully, you did not even hire me (as you noted). You visited for a consultation in November. I promptly sent you a retainer letter, as you requested. You responded, saying that the retainer letter “seems good at this time.” But, you had some legal questions. I did research for you to answer them, at no charge. You were thankful… but then I never heard back from you. Consistent with my practice when retainer letters are outstanding, I followed up with you in December, simply asking where we stood (literally, “Hi… where do we stand?”) because we never heard back from you on the retainer. No response. Months later, on February 8, you resurfaced with an email in which you apologized for your delay and thanked me for my time. You never raised a single concern. (All of this is documented.) I replied, “Ok, so you are not interested in moving forward?...” For some reason, that obviously rubbed you the wrong way. Respectfully, when a retainer letter remains open for nearly 4 months, it’s time to make a decision to move forward or not. If that offends you, I apologize. I note that, in the time period between your consultation and your review of me, eight other actual clients who retained me provided 5-star reviews. I am happy to discuss this further offline and remain willing to help, if you'd like. Please feel free to call any time -- 973.270.9902.
