Stay away!!! That's the only advice we can give. He jumped on our case and told us he was our best choice considering how many years he was in practice. We had 5 other attorneys interested and some of them warned us when we explained we retained Mr. Abraham. We met with him less than a year after the injury and had 2 appt's thereafter. We signed papers and he said he was ready to file against the MD. 2 weeks before our statute of limitations was up, he called and said he was no longer able to take the case.

My car was hit and I didn’t have collision insurance. I paid for a consultation with her because I was suddenly without a car and didn’t know what to do. The guy who hit my car was driving a company car and the company was being cagey.
She didn’t listen and talked down to me. Yeah I probably should had collision insurance (not that it was illegal not to have it - my car was paid off) but like someone hit my parked car. Then she told me I was being rude when I clarified I didn’t need her to troubleshoot how to pick up my kid that evening (I said I needed to get my kid later to illustrate I do in fact need a car… not because I’m not aware taxis and neighbors exist). She lectured me that I couldn’t claim lost wages even though I never asked about that (I had mentioned I work during the day and my kid goes to aftercare because she wanted to know why my kid wasn’t taking the bus… again because clearly I need her to point out school buses are a thing.) She made me feel like a gold digger even though I just wanted some advice because some corporation didn’t care they made me suddenly without a car. Btw my car is still smushed on the sidewalk so that’s fun… yeah but clearly I’m a litigious time waster wanting a huge payout via her high powered attorney self
Not sure why she does this consultation service. Maybe they send her a high value client from time to time that is actually worth her time.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS, I WOULD!!!
I was referred to Feldman and Pinto by Flagger and Associates and truly wish I hadn't been!
From the beginning, there was a clear LACK OF COMMUNICATION from ALL PARTIES of Feldman and Pinto. I continuously needed to reach out to schedule documents to be given to them, get updates I was promised, etc.!
I was treated very rudely and unfairly!!
They then wanted me to sign blank release forms for me and my son; OUTRIGHT REFUSING to even speak to me about WHO they would be requesting forms from, despite me mentioning that I might have additional people/agencies that could provide information.
They also OUTRIGHT REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS!!
In addition to this, they wanted me to sign documents with FALSE INFORMATION ON IT, despite this being pointed out to them MULTIPLE TIMES!! I asked, and was REFUSED, a corrected copy to sign!
I provided information to them in a timely manner; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DO THE SAME EXCEPT TO DENY WORKING WITH ME!!!
THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CASE!! I WILL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER LAWYER TO HELP MY SON WHO WAS INJURED IN THE NICU!!
DO NOT BRING YOUR CASE TO FELDMAN AND PINTO; YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU DO!!
