In scrutinizing the recruitment process conducted by Ment Law Group in engaging Francesco “Frank” Picone, it appears to have been executed with a haste mirroring Mr. Picone's characteristic lack of attention to detail.
This critique is kept superficial, as a more comprehensive examination of Mr. Picone's performance is anticipated to unfold in due course.
Mr. Picone's assertions regarding his proficiency in "interviewing/fact collecting" are lamentable, particularly if accurate. Such claims cast doubt upon the efficacy of his purported certifications, suggesting either a deficiency in their vetting procedures or an opportunistic pursuit of profit. In the course of handling my case, Mr. Picone repeatedly allowed pertinent evidence to lapse or be mishandled, a consequence directly attributable to his apparent disregard for thorough fact-finding.
Furthermore, Mr. Picone's proclamation of possessing "integrity and excellence" is unsubstantiated. On numerous occasions, he has omitted truthful statements, neglected exculpatory evidence, and distorted facts, solely for self-serving motives. These actions starkly contradict any claims of integrity and excellence.
Those seeking individuals of integrity or genuine excellence should look elsewhere. Regrettably, Mr. Picone's ineptitude has resulted in tangible harm, yet he appears indifferent to the consequences, prioritizing self-preservation over accountability. Any inquiries by Ment Law Group regarding the specifics of these grievances are welcome, though skepticism surrounds the likelihood of any meaningful investigation being conducted.

Pullman & Comley did a fantastic job helping me navigate my divorce and custody challenges. With a young special needs daughter involved, it was important to have a team with a broad range of expertise. Jon Kukucka specifically gave invaluable advice and was was spot on with his approach and arguments both in court and with mediators. I highly recommend Pullman & Comley.

Worst experience with an attorney in my lifetime. The performance falls well below the standard of care expected of an attorney and firm. I felt unheard and undervalued as a client. I do not recommend them to anyone going through divorce.

I had a very difficult international family law matter concerning child custody, case jurisdiction and the UCCJEA.
The situation was adverse. Stakes were high. Notwithstanding, Campbell Barrett and his team pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat and did a stellar job for me and my children who would otherwise been relegated to a bleak future.
As a family law attorney, Campbell Barrett of Pullman and Comley is worth his weight in gold ... or even platinum for that matter!
My boys and I have him to thank along with his team members Johanna Katz and Stacy for saving their future.
When the going gets tough Pullman and Comley get going and do the job done as none other.

If you want to pay money to have your calls and emails go unanswered, watch your attorney defend the actions of someone they should be holding in contempt and go months without seeing your kid only to be told to “keep waiting until court” and “find solutions”, hire him.

Frank is an excellent attorney who cares about his clients. I was happy that I hired him. He helped me more than once and went the distance to get things thrown out in court. He knows his stuff. I recommend using Frank if you have a problem.

I had a messy case where another attorney took sides with my ex - then left me out to dry. Frank took the case, cleaned up the mess - and turned what looked like a hopeless situation into something favorable for me.
Frank did an outstanding job.

He allowed the defense to enter in a written phone message, that was fake, in order to taint my character.
The message was fabricated, and he said, "there is nothing we can do about it".
The article that led to this trial, was not admissable, while a workers compensation injury, was allowed, that was irrelevant. Had he gone through my medical records, he would have noticed, that this "trumped up" message, was non-existent. I paid for my records, and the "message" is not there.
There is no follow-up appointment or police report over this "message". If it was real, there would be.

Overcharged by at least $1000! Most of contact through emails. Referred by another professional we use. The original email from Atty. Reynolds included his rate and paralegal rate. Spoke briefly and then some personal issues came up so did not connect until a year later. Our wills were already available from late 90’s and were given to him. Wanted updates and revisions. Basic will and living will. Fee was absolutely ridiculous and that was after a professional courtesy discount. He claimed that he spent 11 hours of his time in it and did not bother to tell me that he no longer had a paralegal who would have just done the draft. No, paralegals do more than drafts. He said that if I had gone to a big Hartford law firm, I would hav3 paid $5,000. Was defensive and rude when I called him about bill but I just wanted a basic conversation. Was so disappointed and felt so taken advantage of. Would never recommend him and have shared my experience with many.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You
A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.
Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.
When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?
Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:
- Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
- Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
- Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
- Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
- Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
- Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.
What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?
A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:
- Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
- Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
- Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
- Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
- Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
- Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.
How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:
- Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
- Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.
Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.
Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.
Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
