Pros
1
The lawyer is knowledgeable and well-respected in the courtroom
“I found Phil Castrovinci to be knowledgeable and well respected in the courtroom. He provided me great legal representation during a lengthy and very costly divorce trial.”
2
The lawyer's staff is caring and readily available to assist clients
“His staff is caring and readily available to you for any help you may need during what is a very difficult situation.”
Cons
1
The lawyer is unresponsive and takes a long time to return calls or emails
“He never returns phone calls - I use to look at my monthly phone bill to see how many times I would call his office to find out what was going on - he would take weeks to call me back, and most times he would have the secretary do it, leaving a message that he will return my calls shortly, but never does, until I have to keep calling again.”
2
The lawyer seems to prioritize the opposing party's interests over the client's
“He thought that by giving my matrimonial home over to me, which was laden with financial debt and basically a money pit of which I could never afford, was a great deal for me and was actually insulted I didn't grab this offer. When my ex refused to pay his court ordered child support obligation, this attorney started advocating for him by telling me that contractors after all are having a hard time with the economy.”
3
The lawyer is unwilling to settle cases and instead prolongs them to increase fees
“Phil Castrovinci has no interest in settling a divorce case. If your not a high roller your case goes to Matt Mady. Matt, is easier to speak with but just as unlikely to settle your case. This firm has chewed through $13,000 with no result. They work very well with the attorneys on the other side - which causes one to wonder who's interest they are representing.”
