Tom anelli is a lawyer that ruined my life. Back in 2010 when he started advertising in albany, it was a scam, he did seminars and gave certificates to local injury lawyers, well at this time I got a dwi, I was not driving, my wife was, we got in a fight and we both walked home from the corner store, she got out and threw the keys, as I came out and was walking home I got pulled over on foot, I passed the field test and the police even let me call a cab, but they wouldn't come because it was 4 houses away, so I get mouthy and want to walk home as I was already walking and passed the tests, didnt have keys on me as my wife threw them, they found the keys behind the store that had 4 cameras, somehow they were off ,same as cameras on police cars, so I hire tom anelli , that decision ruined my life. My dwi was always in question as I wasn't the driver my wife was and I was walking when I got pulled over ,so his personal injury lawyer actually about 4 of them, new 1 at every court date, I kept telling them I wasn't driving, I ended up with a 1st time trial lawyer, Kevin obrien. The Da offered me a 6-3 misdemeanor but my license would be suspended, so Tom anelli promised me he had a guy that discredited all breathalyzer and the fact was I wasn't driving, we go to trial, not with any real lawyer, I went with a personal injury lawyer Tom annelli appointed to me, now it was like the 5th lawyer he pawned me off on but he couldn't waste his time, the DA put up 2 days of lies from police officers that knew I had a weak lawyer, it came to my defense and he declined. I said what are you doing? We have proof they are lying and I wasn't driving, if we put no defense the jury is going to convict me, the judge told me to sit down. 15 mins later I was guilty. 1-3 years in state prison instead of 3 months county. After that they promised they would help me get my license back. I was 32 years old when he scammed me and I'm 50 now still with no license and its ruined my career many times. Just a heads up. Tom Anelli ruined my life. Think about that when you hire him and he sends you a first case lawyer and demands 10s of thousands of dollars. He never helped me with anything other than going to prison, losing my wife and never driving again. read more
