I would not recommend this attorney. He initially handled my divorce for $1000.00 and did a great job. My ex-husband re-opened the case with false accusations and I again retained Mr .Galante's services to handle the matter. I was required to pay a retainer of $3250, which seemed reasonable because we thought we were going to trial. We ended up settling in an hour-long mediation. After the mediation I asked Mr. Galante about a refund and he stated a check would be mailed. A month went by and I got nothing. I emailed and called again. Again was told a check would be mailed, and nothing. Another month went by and I finally sent an email saying I was going to stop by the office to pick up a check. I then received an email from his secretary stating that there was no refund due and all of the $3250 had been used. In all this time I did not receive one bill, ledger, or anything. I am taking the matter to the Florida Bar for a thorough investigation.
