Not even worthy of One star, but unfortunately not option here…read more Keith Casella in my opinion, is unethical, deceitful and money hungry attorney, manipulated me into settling though I was in the right and I lost thousands upon thousands of dollars and that's not counting legal fees I've already paid him. He was continuously harassing me for payment but refused to do the work. Not only did he not advocate for me, but I felt like he was the enemy more than the opposing team throughout the whole ordeal. He said damaging things to the opposing attorney in writing to damage my reputation, and yelled and insulted me continuously, dismissing everything I brought up to him. Whenever I had a question about the case he dismissed me and his usual statement was: "it's going to cost you more money and each time we talk or email Whether it's 5 or 10 minutes I will be charging you fees b/c nothing is free". I was at the point where I was anxious to call and ask any questions regarding my case because I was going to be charged more fees, even though information was crucial to my case he just simply did not provide it or made me feel like I'm asking for too much, including the time when I asked him to put in writing into stipulation that I should have Mother's Day with my kids for shared custody with my ex- husband! Again his statement was "things like this cost you money". This matter was only taken care of because opposing attorney agreed I should have it and was the one who drafted the stipulation to add it for me, my lawyer did not lift a finger!! When he did review the paperwork he made crucial mistakes, providing faulty info and it was obvious he did not bother to review it or simply was incompetent. After a while I realized it was just easier for me to handle it and review it on my own in order to save money because he would charge me, but he still charged me regardless even when he didn't review it! He continuously asked me if I forwarded him information and I had to tell him 10 times to check his email reminding him that I emailed info he asked for, it was obvious he did not even look at it and open it, or simply forgot about it. Keith Casella is toxic, rude and disorganized, to say the very least. I paid him separately outside his law firm towards his personal account on top of the money I was already being charged from retainer to review documents- not only he did not review it but he refused to continue to assist me with this ongoing issue, because it was "too far for him to travel" to Queens to accommodate me further. On most occasions he provided false information and I had no choice but to go outside to pay other lawyers to review the same information he was being paid to review and paid MORE money to them to review it for me and explain things as attorneys do with their clients. He refused to represent me unless I settle and after I reluctantly agreed, he reminded me I owe him more money after I already paid him $10,000 in a matter of a few months (he originally told me it should not be more than $5,000 from the get go when he was trying to convince to hire him). He knowingly, consciously, maliciously continued lying to me about the laws, pushing me to settle every step of the way to be done and make a quick buck to move onto the next case and ruin someone else's life. He was threatening me to drop me in the middle of my case if I don't agree to settle the case, which would obviously mean I have to pay additional retainer of thousands of dollars to another lawyer to pick up in the middle of the case. I made life decisions based on his suggestions, which I now regret and realize that it was conflict of interest and will affect me in the future, not to mention causing me stress and discomfort making ordeal even more awful because I unfortunately took a chance on him to represent me. He was afraid to go to court and actually accused me of lying, just to avoid doing so. I deeply regret hiring a lazy crook who did not represent me properly and feel foolish trusting him in the first place.

Apparently I was "too much time spent on" not worthy, charged me a premium and had someone who didn't even get his law degree yet represent me. By the way spodek will not represent you. His unqualified "lawyers" who didn't pass the bar exam will. Shady business Absolutely disgusting behavior from front desk ms Williams. And empty promises. Honest opinion. Never met Spodek once. Representation and communication was weak and the rate for service were high. After 32 hrs of community service $5000 and a stain on my record, DEFINITIVELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR HIRE Mind you my charges were 2 misdemeanors and I had a clean record. Funny part is. I was actually the victim in it all. Not pleased. Please save your money and go to another firm. I've attached a photo of how dismissive spodek is and even talked in a way that made me fear him for not taking down the honest review. But I think people should know the kind of firm this is.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Altagracia and her team. From our very…read morefirst consultation, she was attentive and empathetic toward our situation, taking the time to truly understand the stress we were under. She strategized with us about our options, clearly outlining the potential costs and risks of pursuing our case so we could make informed decisions from the start. We were even given a recording of the consultation to refer back to later. That thoughtful extra step was invaluable and should be standard practice if it isn't already. This was our first time hiring a lawyer for anything, and we learned a great deal through the process. The office was completely transparent about billable hours and how charges were applied to our retainers, which gave us peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and the little touches made a big difference -- being able to text our attorneys, receiving a call whenever something needed clarification, and even seeing the friendly portraits of the admin team in email replies. It made every interaction feel personal, and I truly appreciated putting a face to the name of the person helping me. They guided us through a very stressful dispute with our landlord, and we felt confident they would secure a settlement in our favor which they did. Altagracia was thorough, detail-oriented, and unwavering in her support as we navigated litigation against our unsavory landlord. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to get out of a 2-year lease without any financial penalties -- something we could never have accomplished on our own. For those who have never hired an attorney before, the cost may feel daunting at first -- but her services are truly worth every penny for the professionalism, skill, and peace of mind she provides. She keeps her clients' long-term goals in focus, giving practical, realistic advice when pursuing "full justice" might not be the most sensible option given the time, cost, and uncertainty of court proceedings. If we ever need a tenant/landlord attorney again, Outerbridge Law will be our first call. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in these matters. Our sincerest gratitude to Altagracia, Charles, Suchita, Heleina, John, and the rest of the Outerbridge team for their support and guidance. -- Rachel & Hector
