His office screwed up our closing. He forgot to order stock and lease until the last minute buyers tried to get of deal almost cost us a lot of money. He also never called or sent status updates. It was horrible transaction. Of all the attorneys I have worked with he was the worst.

I consulted with him when he was in private practice years ago. Shockingly lacks basic legal knowledge or comprehension. Showed a dearth of knowledge and arrogant, condescending behavior. I am glad I did not use mishaan lieblich as my law firm.

Matthew Bondy wasn’t only my lawyer in litigating but was also like a brother to me. Very considerate and made himself available for me at all times. Very family friendly and well spoken and always motivated. His self motivation exceeds beyond expectations. He’s the right man and right person for all things litigation. He helped me in everything and how to move forward in life. Truly a hell of a lawyer.

She doesn't follow through on her cases. My divorce is still not finalized after 4 years. She attempts to work with the defense to "get the case over with she has other clients". There were no children involved. I was on the deed of our home in NC. I had to pay a man who makes over 110,000 a year and I had to give up my car. Save your money and time.

read the other review and am quite surprised and frankly suspicious. We hired this attorney for a closing and things got very difficult through not fault of his. He exceeded out expectations and did not over charge us at all. He pulled our family through a very diffiicult time. He was responsive, courteous and got us fantastic results. Yes I would definitely recommend him for not just closings but more complicated real estate matters.

He showed up to court once, failed to show up twice after that even with 2 months notice. Didn't know who the petitioner was or the respondent. Really put in zero effort in the case and acted like I should take his advice after a 5 min conversation. I wouldn't recommend him.

This guy is a the worst lawyer I've ever seen, took our money and for years never got anything done. He would always say "we are close we are close" they just want your money.
I recommend not going with this guy a complete waste of time and money.

Anytime there was any contact, I initiated it. Went three months without returning phone calls or text messages. Then on the very last day of the statutory limitation of serving the other party, he mailed out a letter stating he was no longer my lawyer because "it wasn't beneficial" to pursue my case. Don't understand how since I got my file from his office and he did NOTHING in six months. Worst so called professional I have ever encountered.

Mr. Steve is an excellent attorney. He has done some closing for me in the past. I know him for more than 10 years. He is one of the best, most honest and easy to deal with.
I would recommend this attorney to anyone who is looking for any real estate transactions and tenant issues.

The worst lawyer you can hire. She grabs your money and then takes her time handling your case. Every time I call. It’s the same excuse. She’s busy. She not taking calls at the moment. She will get back to you shortly. Days, Weeks can go by and you don't hear from her. I’m so sick and tired of her. I’m ready to report her to the bar and get this over with. Something must be done.

The lawyer is great friendly and very understanding. But her paralegal that is in the office. She is the worst. Rude nasty and gets back to you when she wants. You have to wait days before she decides to contact you. Get you a lawyer who is going to have people in her office who is willing to work. Otherwise you are
Going to wait forever for a response. Highly upsetting to be dealing with a person like that.!

Ms Walton is one of very few attorneys that you can immediatly trust an feel comfortable with. Her ethics seem to come from her rather than a legal mandate. I feel she put my needs first and her financials second. I highly recomend her.

I paid Mr. Testa to go to court for me and plead not guilty to two of my traffic tickets. Instead of going to court for me, he avoided my court date and my calls. I received a suspension in the mail for my license because he never showed up in court, when he said I did. It was a three day weekend this happened over, so Tuesday when the courts reopened I went with my paperwork and saw the judge. They dismissed the tickets (something they would've done had my lawyer shown up in court when he was supposed to) and reinstated my license (which I would've never lost in the first place, had my lawyer whom I paid actually gone to court to fight my tickets. I had a better experience going in myself and speaking to the judge directly. I also don't appreciate lawyers who speak down to clients or don't do what you hire them to do. I would not recommend him.

When I was going through my divorce Mr. DAngelica definitely made it easier to get through it. He help me understand that in Divorce no one really wins but with his comprehension of the law and life experience he certainly made it easy to cope with. I was happy with the representation and felt I was guided the right way. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone.

If you are man, looking to be represented for a divorce, then DO NOT, repeat DO NOT go to this lawyer. Thanks to him, I am paying thousands of dollars a month in child support. He had absolutely nothing of value to add to the divorce. In fact, the only good things that were entered into the divorce settlement came by way of my idea. Despite my ex being a horrible mother, and a totally irresponsible drunk, this lawyer basically said I had no chance in winning because I was a man. Perhaps worse than him, was me though, for not firing him on the spot. But since he already had my retainer, and as poor as I was, there was not enough money to go out and seek alternative counsel.
He was a terrible representative to me. I would not even recommend him to fight a parking ticket. Now, and thanks to him, I have to live poor for several years now.

I agree with the rest, he is sarcastic, not accommodating “or” fair, and rude. I had a modification done in 12/10/2023 bc I got laid off and still have to go to court because he didn’t look at my evidence as he should properly.

I have been unemployed since January 2023, so I submitted an order to modify my child support payments since I receive unemployment benefits and still paying the same amount as if I was working, leaving me with $260 a week to support a family of 6. I waited until July 21 to have a virtual meeting between this man and my ex-wife. Nothing got done during this virtual meeting, he kept asking for the docket number which he had, now we have another meeting in October. I will probably be homeless by the time we have the next meeting. I don't understand why he could not modify the support order just by knowing the fact that I am unemployed. Of course my ex-wife is laughing her way to the clubs drinking the money is supposed to go to my son. This man should not be a magistrate, he should be in a Burger King flipping burgers.

Horrible. Sarcastic. Arrogant. Rude to woman. He’s definitely doesn’t have experience as a magistrate. Received many errors on my support order and still in the process of having them corrected. Was dealing with another magistrate but she apparently retired. So disappointed case has been given to him.

Handled will, power of attorney and real estate transaction and unfortunately I was disappointed. In retrospect I realize she did not ask questions that would have enabled me (and her) to uncover situations that I/we could have made better decisions on.
While she knows the real estate business, on 3 occasions, she had to call or write to me because she had forgotten something we had already discussed or thought of yet another question.
It was a basic real estate transaction.

Hired this “lawyer” to help me fight a speeding ticket. However, ended up paying a fine of a few hundred bucks and points on my license. Was told “don’t worry” but that’s nonsense. Do not recommend AT ALL. Customer service is horrendous and a waste of time. Better off fighting for the ticket yourself.

This lawyer falls short in professionalism and trustworthiness. If you are desperate enough to hire her, be cautious and prepared to encounter misleading information and manipulative tactics. Do not rely solely on her verbal statements; ensure that every detail is documented in writing, as she has atendency to deny prior claims. Her professionalism appears to be lacking, and her demeanor changes noticeably after the contract is signed. She can come across as rude and unreliable, often contradicting herself. Her approach seems more focused on financial gain than genuinely helping her clients.

As the petitioner the court judge appointed Lisa M. Kurcias, for the custody case of my then 11 yr old child. During the time of legal representation she got hurt physically and excused herself at a significant time in the custody case. At the initial meeting I expressed that I wanted custody and that the respondent/father had violated a previous order I had in place. Lisa M.Kurcias failed me as a lawyer because instead of fighting for custody, which is what I wanted, she agreed to give consent of custody to respondent without consulting me. That day, before seeing the judge, Lisa M. Kurcias told me that the father/respondent was going to be awarded custody and that she wasn't going to be my lawyer due to medical leave. After leaving the judge's chamber, custody was awarded to respondent and never saw her again.
