I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one is warranted. I was referred to this attorney via a third…read moreparty program offered through my employer. We connected once and after what I thought would be a good working relationship, I decided to move forward in having her represent me for Guardianship over my dad, who has dementia. I signed her contract, sent a retainer, and that was the last I ever heard from her. Four months later, she disappeared with my money and wasted my time and if anyone knows dementia, it waits for no one! I've emailed and called over 15 times easily. I've requested refund of my money and NOTHING. I filed a fraud claim with my bank as well. What's even more disheartening is seeing her social media posts for best attorney in LI. I don't know who gives those awards but they clearly aren't speaking to all her clients. Dementia is hard enough and having to deal with this is not only unprofessional but frustrating and unsettling. I will not stop until I am reimbursed, so I hope after she sees this review, she realizes this is not acceptable and brings closure to this. Proceed with caution.

George was my family attorney for years before I personally needed him to handle a criminal matter…read morefor myself. I was arrested numerous times in my youth for doing boneheaded things and went to George every single time. Without fail he had over 10 charges either dismissed completely or reduced to violations (small infractions with minor fines) with zero jail time and zero probation. When I moved to NYC and got into a fight with someone that led to another arrest I initially reached out to a local NYC lawyer who wanted $6000 and for me to take a plea and attend anger management classes. I fired him immediately and asked George to handle my case. Within a couple of appearances with George my entire case was thrown out at a fraction of the cost. This man has been a blessing on my life and as an adult now, I am forever grateful to him that I was able to have the opportunity to turn my life around and not continue down the slippery slope that accompanies time in jail.

Upon receiving my settlement checks on one of them they took out nearly 50% of what I had received…read more Before, receiving the checks I had also sent Matt an email and even spoke with him by phone, he did not tell me that it would be 50% of the check amount. He was condescending stating he did not know the amounts/percentage tile , and for me to ask my tax preparer or accountant "which I had and the percentage tile they gave me for the check amount was a lot less rather than 50%." When I had arrived at the office to pick up the check all "Matt could say is that my check is in the normal range he sees when the employer deducts taxes out." So then he knew it would be nearly 50% they take out for taxes, so then why not just tell me that, instead of having me contact my tax preparer??? Why BOTHER having me contact my tax preparer in the first place? When I had picked up the check, he met with me in front of the receptionist desk being "Samantha Iglesias" which she was present I began asking him questions in front of Samantha that's when she started looking at me then looking back over at Matthew then at some point Matt and Samantha looked back at each due to my questions she then starting shaking her head. He just kept blowing off my question(s) when I had asked him, why did they take out so much? His response was... Well that just means you will receive back more money at the end of the year from IRS. My response is... "I DON'T receive money back from IRS no thanks to someone who committed TAX FRAUD in my name, using my social which explains why I don't receive tax refunds at the END of the YEAR! I'm sure your nosey receptionist Samantha, wouldn't have been looking at me then back looking over at Matt and meanwhile Matt at some point looked over back at her when she had shook her head. Nosey girl mind your business and stop listening to clients questions- I'm pretty sure if you had been victimized by tax fraud I'm pretty sure you'd be upset/disappointed too by the amount of taxes being deducted. Matt also was not much help on answering my questions about why none of the amounts matched from what he informed me to what my tax preparer stated "those amounts were ridiculously to HIGH and clear did not take out what I had been advised." "Had you would have ASKED me, why I was concerned with the amount of taxes being deducted in the first place!" I've also hired personal injury lawyer(s) and non of them have EVER handed me my checks in front of a receptionist less know spoke about my case in front of a receptionist the way Matt conducted himself. They've always either had me in their office or in their conference room for me to sign release and pick up checks and then hand them to me. Considering you no longer work for the employer I don't feel as though they're entitled to deduct taxes at especially for something they're AT-FAULT for even a "personal injury lawsuit for insurance purposes does not deduct taxes" I also, don't believe they are taking taxes out on every settlement for each client. Had they would have told me that UPFRONT and straightforward I probably wouldn't have SETTLED for the amount in which we agreed upon. I had also asked Matt Farnworth upon signing for the check(s) and had been receiving them at the receptionist front desk being "Samantha Iglesias" which felt almost like ganging up on someone to me it should not take 2 persons to have a client both sign for release and pickup of checks, handing the checks over to me, and asking the attorney Matt questions in front of the receptionist "Samantha Iglesias." The attitude, personality, and behavior of the receptionist really just killed the whole vibe. Aside from this they did work aggressively on my case, always responded to BOTH my emails and calls within a timely manner. They definitely fought the fight for me during mediation and filing and was always there for me by my side. Retained a high settlement! But between what Matt said about the deductions, your receptionist, & picking up and signing for the checks with the receptionist and talking in front of her to Matt was just an odd experience "I've never experienced that not even with a personal injury attorney." That was sloppy. Beware!

Completely inept, and void of personal responsibility - especially Dina. Whatever it is she does there. I was looking forward to meeting her, but she sent some other liar for hire in her place. A few examples of their illogical and unprofessional approach to real estate law: told me at first meet/contract signing that their fee was contingent upon how many calls I would place to them during the home buying process. early on sent emails to another person because our names were similar (seriously, this was her rationalization, rather than apologize and, you know, proof read our names/email) - followed that up with consistently misspelling my name and then defending it by saying the seller's agent/attorney misspelled it (rather than, I don't know, apologizing and promising to proof read things better). finally, she literally did the biding of the sellers and their attorney by incessantly applying pressure to me, my wife, my lending rep, the underwriter, compliance et al. threatening that I may lose my deposit, and another time mentioned that how the practice didn't want me to be sued. she then waited until the morning of closing to crunch the numbers and notify me of cash to close an hour before the final walk-through of the property - meanwhile, she had the numbers 3 days earlier. the best part was that when I asked her she said she had just received them, while I had already been informed of when the info went out to her. oh yeah, the lawyer that did show up for my closing decided to begin without us and was literally a machine shoving papers in front of us to sign and initial - but I did get a blue folder so...‍‍
