I engaged Telleria, Telleria & Levy LLP, specifically Anthony F. Telleria, 3 months ago for legal representation on my Worker’s Compensation case. Communication was poor and they lacked professionalism. They provided negligent service and I was highly unsatisfied. Save yourself a headache by staying clear of this firm.
Service
Over the course of several months, I made multiple requests for Telleria to change my doctor. For months they did not take action and there was no progress with my case. I was better off representing myself.
Communication
-I tried scheduling an appointment with the attorney during the first 3 ½ months of engaging with this firm. I was continuously referred to the legal assistants who lacked legal knowledge. The assistants confirmed they were not attorneys and did not have a legal background. Their advice and responses were not useful and lacked substance. I preferred to speak with the attorney, who I engaged with.
-I finally received a call from the attorney after months of multiple attempts to reach him. He said he would check his availability and get back to me about possibly arranging an in-person meeting. I find this unacceptable and I do not believe they had my best interest at heart. It should not be this difficult to receive face time with your attorney.
-The Legal Assistant mentioned that the attorney would prepare me for my deposition 1/2 hour prior to my deposition and sent me a video link to access prior to our meeting. I find this to be extremely impersonal and poor planning. I believe it should be coupled with attorney face time well in advance to my deposition (not ½ hour prior).
- I was put on hold for extended periods of time or was told they would return my calls. I would either never hear from them or they called several days later. Call backs were from the legal assistant, not the attorney.
Professionalism
-General tone while corresponding was rude and abrasive.
-I read many adverse and negative reviews (many 1 out of 5 stars on yelp). I made a comment on Facebook regarding my personal experience with them and they responded to me on social media requesting for my information. I believe it was unprofessional for them to reach out to me and to address my case openly in social media. My information had already been provided.
