If you are looking for a bankruptcy lawyer, look no further!!! John D'Amato is an excellent choice…read moreif you are in the Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse area. I truly cannot begin to praise him enough. From the very first phone call with John, to and through the ENTIRE chapter 7 process with me- John and his executive assistant Merry were unwaveringly supportive, consistently communicative, and absolute experts in what they do. Filing bankruptcy is inundating, time consuming, and stressful beyond belief. Merry (she is the main point of contact after services are rendered) was an absolute darling, incredibly hard working, and relentless to ensure everything was done properly and accurately in timely manner. She alleviated a great deal of pressure from a incredibly stressful situation and made it, dare I say, "easy" to get through. I cannot recommend Merry and Mr. D'Amato enough. They will work tirelessly with you and for you to get you through successfully to the other side of an otherwise very unpleasant process and they will do it always with a pleasant demeanor and a smile on their face. If bankruptcy is your only (or best) option, John and Merry are the light in the tunnel you need! Follow them and you will not be led astray. Thank you so much to them from the bottom of my heart!

Instead, Mr. Keenan completely abandoned his duties. Despite confirming that he was negotiating and communicating with opposing counsel (supposedly on my behalf), he never filed the appearance or responded to the motion. For many months he failed to notify the Court that he was even hired. Eventually, opposing counsel took advantage of the situation because he was tipped off through Keenan's negligent communication with him. Keenan's inaction directly caused my case to be dismissed by default. This goes beyond simple neglect. Keenan actively misrepresented the status of my case while failing to perform the most basic functions of legal representation. He then proceeded to conceal critical case materials from me and ceased all communication. There is no excuse for this type of deception and malpractice.

I just had to fire Paul after learning he lost me money already in my divorce and was talking to…read morethe other lawyer about things and not telling me. The Divorce was simple and Paul somehow messed it up. He took my retainer money for a upcoming hearing and won't refund it. I called the Bar Association just waiting to hear back. Her lawyer needed a form for insurance to take me off of my exes but Paul ignored her attempts to contact him. I had to Google the legal form myself and send it off to them. I don't know what I paid for. His paralegals do all of his work. Paul will not return phone calls or emails. I don't think he has a computer and I'm not kidding. He did not get her lawyer discovery and then proceeded to bill me anyways. Paul is worth just being a good car salesman to get you in. That's why his ratings on Lawyer.com has him at 2.8 I wish I knew this ahead of time. He owes me $2000 for the appearances he didn't make and not accomplishing anything the previous one. My new lawyer communicates everything and finally the case is moving along. I had other lawyers wouldn't touch my case because they said Paul messed it bad but my new lawyer has been great so far and cleaning things up. My new Lawyer Katlyn Johnson just got me almost triple what Paul couldn't get me. She closed the deal in 2 months and Paul didn't do anything in 5 months. He is a scam artist that talks a big game. Do not fall for his antics. I was on the verge of getting nothing with Paul and she clean it up easily and closed the deal. She is also cheaper than Paul. Update: Paul Refused to give me 1200 back that he owes me for a court appearance he didn't show up to and said I owe him.

My experience with Paul was full of red flags; terrible attitude, spoke over top of me and walked…read moreout of the room without excusing himself multiple times during my $500 consultation (NO; it's not free). Paul ran my credit card before I even had the retainer agreement read or signed (he flipped over the page with his $350/hr rate very quickly) and left me to sign the agreement. He re-entered the room multiple times huffing and acting impatient that it wasn't signed immediately. I felt intimidated, frustrated, and completely taken advantage of. I should've trusted my gut and left instead of allowing him to take a full retainer. I fired Paul after 3 days, which he used $1,200 out of my $1,500 retainer to simply ADJOURN a court date for HIS OWN VACATION. I received a $310 refund for Paul to do absolutely nothing but disrespect and waste my time. He promised me that retainer would get me through "at least 3 months". Im thankful didn't have him represent me in the courtroom. I'll also note that communication is a joke, his "receptionist" just screams your requests across the hall without putting herself on mute while you sit awkwardly listening to them shout at eachother

They were very patient and accommodating through that frustration. My closing meeting with him was just as great and fast. They sent a messenger to file my paper work immediately and I had the keys to my new house within hours. Thank you!
