I’ve worked with David Badanes on two separate occasions. His knowledge and professionalism led me back to him a second time. His confidence and intelligence shined through both matters achieving our much desired result. It also ended in comfort as he assured me that he’d be at my fingertips should I need him again moving forward. He was kind,courteous and accommodating in both matters. I’m very glad to know that I have Dave in my corner.

I want to share a few words about David, who handles my uncontested divorce.
He is a high-level professional with a positive attitude and excellent work ethics. He is very responsive. David is the type of lawyer who would always call you back or shot you an email on the same day no matter what type of question you have. This attitude from the lawyer is very important for me as I'm going through some difficult times in my life.
I would add that he is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise and if there is any difficult question he would go above and beyond to find the right answer for his client. I think his prices are fair and absolutely reasonable for the high-level advocacy service that he is providing. I'm happy that I chose David as my divorce lawyer, everything went smoothly and efficiently! I highly recommend David as a lawyer.

Putting together a will and estate planning was something I’d put off for too long. Tony made a complicated process easy and was able to answer any and all questions my wife and I had along the way. It’s obvious he enjoys what he does and will receive any and all recommendations from those I know who could use his services. Thanks again

I had an exceptional experience with Mr. David who represented me for my postnuptial agreement. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He clearly explained everything to me regarding the process and provide great advice. He met with me multiple times, answered and returned every phone call or email promptly and addressed all my questions and concerns. He even went out of his way to meet with me on a Saturday via Zoom right before he was leaving on a vacation and on a short notice, which I found to be an extraordinary level of commitment. I've been truly pleased with Mr. David services and I cannot recommend him more.

Stein is an unusual attorney, but he is by far the smartest one I have dealt with. He got the job done and we are very pleased with the outcome. Just signed him up again with my next legal issue. I sleep well...trust him 100%.

Mr. Stein was overwhelmed when I attempted to get in touch with him. He never responded to emails, calls and seemed to be dodging me. He had other people in the office who worked at a much more respectable pace. He seemed to come off like a used car salesman. His behavior is unprofessional and odd at best. I have come to find out that he has been sanctioned and has a serious situation hanging over his head. I would not want my name associated with him.

I hired Jessica to do something very simple, an uncontested divorce. We began the process in early September, all documents were signed by me and my ex by mid October. We already had a separation agreement. There was nothing left to be worked out. All she had to do was file the paperwork online. That's it. A very small amount of work. Month after month after month I would check in with her and her office and they would tell me that they filed it and that it was stuck in the courts. I called and emailed time after time after time. and her office would say the same thing.
Almost 6 months later I discovered there is an online site for reviewing the progress of ones divorce, something she never told me. In fact, her office had discouraged me from checking with the County Clerk's office. But their site said that Jessica Sparacino's office never filed. They had been lying to me for almost half a year. I confronted her office and received a call back from her. She assured me it had been filed. She lied again.
All she had to do was check the online form all of these months. But she never did that. Not even once. Finally I confronted her with evidence from the Suffolk County Clerk's office and finally she admitted they never filed it. Her response was pathetic. She said corrective action will be taken, and explained it would be balling out her employees and then checking the status of the filing once per month. It takes one minute to check the status. I could check the status. She had not lifted a finger for almost six months. She couldn't be bothered. And now her corrective action would be spending one minute on me per month? Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy and incompetent. She is the amateur of all amateurs.
For almost 6 months she had lied to me. She spends her time selling real estate and expects to be paid large amounts of money as a lawyer for doing nothing. She makes up for it by blaming all failings on her employees.
She is brutally incompetent, brutally lazy, and brutally dishonest. She should lose her license to practice law.

Before I signed/sent payment for her retainer I sent an email asking if my requests were feasible. Her reply was a simple “yes.”
According to the Retainer she was to prepare a letter make my changes and mail it. Very simple. I had to consistently call/email. I was never told her paralegal was getting married and unable to work. Jessica promised a letter two consecutive Fridays which ultimately did not happen.
When I finally got in touch a letter was haphazardly drafted and addressed incorrectly. It was clearly stated in my settlement where my ex husband lived. It also did not contain the information that she claimed was feasible. THEN Jessica informed me that her paralegal said I was paid child support after my daughters 21st birthday and that she was working full time. Both absolutely untrue statements. I have no idea where this inaccurate information came from. I quickly severed our relationship and hired a competent attorney. She refused to return my retainer fee even after admitting in writing she dropped the ball. She claims enough work was done to warrant it. She made me pay for her paralegals mistakes and her deceit. PLEASE Be smart and go for a professional!!!!
