I 100% agree with Mel. I gave my banking account number and was told they'd be a deduction on the 1st and the 15th of each month. (which I agreed) The problem is I was never told how much those withdrawals would be. My husband is a disabled veteran and only gets a check once a month. We never even appeared in court. The opposing attorney was not contacting my attorney for 4+ months, yet my balance was never known by me and was growing somehow. It wasn't until I requested a statement that I received a few through email. I have never once spoken to Peter on the phone. Although the attorney who was working with me was very nice, he told me he had no part in the billing. He told me it was Peter. Basically, I gave a $4500 retainer in case we needed to go to court, which we never did, and I never received regular monthly statements from Mr. Calabrese. Due to my experience with the billing of this attorney, I would NEVER recommend them. This morning I see an email saying he will not represent me any longer because of my large outstanding balance (which I knew nothing about). As soon as I emailed him, all of a sudden I receive all these statements. Lol! And a balance that was insane. I agree with Mel. Do not sign any contract that involves giving your banking info out. This is not ethical and I intend on reporting to the Bar. These are examples of bad practices. People are already hurting in bad land situations, and the last thing anyone needs is to be taken advantage of. Beware people! Read Mel's review, and others on several sites before you use this firm. If you don't believe me, read others.

Although I wasn't able to hire him for his services, his insight to provide realistic and genuine advice on my situation has been so valuable! I was able to recover my yearly short term bonus upon his recommendation. On top of that, he reminded me to add some important non monetary benefits to my severance agreement. Justin is the best! I would 100% recommend him to anyone in this area for any unemployment issues!!!

I've had a positive experience dealing with Peter and associates. All have been very responsive, honest and timely with findings. I highly recommend and am pleased with their service.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Attorney Murphy for being incredibly patient and helpful throughout our lawsuit process. My case was very complicated, but Attorney Murphy stepped in and simplified everything. Thanks to Attorney Murphy, the process went as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend Attorney Murphy to anyone who is serious about winning their case. Attorney Murphy knows how to get the job done, and you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll be pleased with the outcome. Attorney Murphy will forever be my go-to lawyer.

I have contacted three attorneys in the area in two weeks and nobody even bothered responding to my inquiries. It was very stressful situation for me. The 4th attorney I found on Avvo was attorney Murphy. I sent him inquiries through his website around 10:30pm, he responded right away, next day early in the morning. He took his time and gave me his advice. I truly appreciated his honesty and his time helping me. I wanted to pay him for his time but he said No charge. He is “people’s” attorney. He cares and he just wants to help. That type of attorney/person you want to work with and you want to trust. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Peter and his team are great to work with. They are very trustworthy and I will referred to them all my friends and family.

Called for representation. Told lawyer what I thought about investigator. Glickman is friends with her so didn’t want the case. Not sure about you, but I wouldn’t want an attorney that prioritizes their relationship with the opposing side over a client. This is especially true when the other side lied in writing. But go for it. Maybe him being friends with the person destroying your life is what you want. Not me. I want an attorney who will call it out.

Most people don't take the time to write the real & honest poor reviews. Read all the 1* reviews and believe them. Peter Calabrese is unprofessional and has poor manners, It also appears that he is dishonest as well, according to some reviews. Don't use this firm. You have much better options.

Nobody even answers the phone here. Can’t get a voicemail. Trash, unprofessional attorney.

I worked with Raven at the Law Office of Nicholas F. Ortiz on a tough legal issue and was really happy with his work. He was always on top of things, clear about what was happening, and made sure I understood everything. Raven and the team really cared and helped me get a good result. They're great at what they do and really look out for their clients. I'd tell anyone who needs legal help to go to them.

I was disappointed with the response time from this service and generic answer that they could not take the case. After submitting a form to be contacted on a Friday, I received a reply almost six days later. In contrast, when I reached out to another attorney via a form, I was contacted within ten minutes for intake. Later that day, I had a conversation with an attorney about my situation. Timeliness matters, and unfortunately, this service fell short.
