I called James Troy after being told he was the best in town and he may be , however when it came time to get records he had me running all over town getting them. When it came that the insurance carrier wanted to settle he did not give me all the facts so I almost made a bad choose and signed off on the medical. Then after being harassed buy the carrier, when I said something to him about it his response was lets wait until they do it again. After I had surgery they dragged right into court because the had to paid for full disability, I still had stitches in my back and he said he had another case with a new client so he put me off to one of his associates how went in and talked to the lawyer for the carrier, he came out and told me if I agreed to let them put me back to my mark rate they would leave me alone, if not they were going to keep calling me into court a sending me to see there Dr. until I went back to the mark rate. Needless to say I have fired the firm and do not recommend Jim Troy to anyone anymore. The said thing is I had recommended he to several people.

Thank you for your reviews folks. I’m not allowed to give a zero rating, but that is what he deserves. Everything you all have said is fact. He does NOT return phone calls, emails, and texts. He does NOT call until the last minute and then represents you poorly. My grandchildren are being abused by their drug addicted mother. A ten minute video appearance was held. Neither lawyer knows either client. Mr. Fischer especially, who calls you five minutes before the hearing obviously cannot represent someone properly. Broome County family court is bias from the get go. They know nothing about a case and make a ruling based on lies and never consider the children being hurt. My grandchildren are being kept from their father. A snap decision from a judge who heard five minutes of lies from an abusive drug addict put those children back in her hands. He knows nothing but helped alienate two children from their father! Judges in Broome County have the power to destroy families and it doesn’t matter to them. Lawyers like Kelly Fischer should be disbarred!! Luckily we have time to report him and have him removed. Learn your rights folks. Never except poor representation. If the court won’t remove him when he’s not doing his job. Call for a Marsden trial. Never settle for less! Kelly Fischer is less.

Dooley should not be allowed to practice. I filed charges against him in court and at the NY State Bar - all backed with evidence. The political machine in that area backed him at all costs. A totally one-sided system.

Mr. Dooley is a horrible judge of a persons character for starters. Between he, and the incompetent probation department, peoples lives and livelihoods are destroyed for absolutely no good reason other than to flex their "power"!!! Nothing more than a power trip! I have a close family friend who has had their life completely upended for NO GOOD REASON, all because of outright lies by their probation officer and judge Dooley! A probation officer who was suspended for misconduct, and a judge, who's record here, speaks for itself!

I have been through so much, and the last thing I needed was an abusive lawyer who should've been on my side. She was unnecessarily rude, cruel and disrespectful to me - I am shocked by how I was treated.

Communication was next to nothing. Asking clients to get work done when not required. Never told about closing date or time. Legal assistant should find a new career. She does not know how to properly do her job. Very poor service and would never recommend anyone to use him.

Great ... until you discover over 4 decades later that your deed was altered with a false survey description and your misery of losing your land was only eased by the firms “get a survey” support. So you spend your life and savings trying to preserve your family land and they get away with all failed representation due to statute of limitations. IS THIS THE INTEGRITY YOU WANT AT YOUR SIDE?

Yeah his man threatened to put me in jail when he was supposed to be representing me. He lied to the judge for n an attempt to make his own client look bad. Isn’t organized and is a bumbling fool. He’s a public defender bc he wouldn’t be able to get clients on his own. Literally broke the law while dealing with me. This man is a loser. Other court officials
In Broome
County have witnesses his behavior and do nothing to stop this blatant misuse of the law.

I feel compelled to share an experience that was a total rip-off. Standard house closing in the region are $250-600 even for the foreclosures. This office never shared expected expenses and day of closing had over a $3,000 bill just for their services. I would recommend staying far away from this law office.
