I contacted Dhali Law seeking legal representation for my Title VII retaliation case in federal…read morecourt (EDVA) after my attorney withdrew from the case. Instead of a meaningful review of my case or even a brief discussion, I received a generic rejection with no explanation. When I followed up and provided a detailed written summary of my situation, Mr. Dhali claimed to have read the document but still refused to consider my case--again without giving any substantive reason. Furthermore, I believe Mr. Dhali rejected my case out of spite due to the EEOC determination letter stating that I was discriminated against by my former employer's clients because I was not Indian. Given that Mr. Dhali has Indian ancestry, it is highly suspect that he would refuse to even discuss my case, especially when his firm specializes in employment law. This raises serious ethical concerns about whether his decision was based on bias rather than legal merit. This is not the kind of professionalism or client respect one would expect from a law firm. If an attorney decides to reject a case, they should be transparent about why rather than dismiss potential clients with vague, copy-paste responses. I do NOT recommend this firm for serious employment litigation matters. If you need dedicated legal representation, look elsewhere.

I retained Mr. Valente for a complicated medical malpractice case involving the permanent blinding…read moreof my left eye and lifelong issues with recurring symptoms that threaten the need to have the eye removed. The malpractice involved was clear, easily identified, and devastatingly damaging to me. I received a vastly insufficient settlement dollar amount. I received a settlement despite Mr. Valente's negative input; without his input, which resulted in underestimated damages communicated during arbitration of my case, I almost surely would have been awarded a higher and more commensurate-with-damages level of compensation based on the facts. Some of the issues I faced while retaining Mr. Valente follow: Mr. Valente utterly failed to accurately assess my economic and non-economic damages . The arbitration process was extremely premature: my damages were not fully established by any means or standard; It was his responsibility to understandnd and effectively convey the extent of damages to me and to the defendent's counsel as well as to a jury at trial. There is no evidence of preparation of my case for trial, as he was contracted to facilitate. Instead, he negotiated a small-in-proportion to my damages settlement. The facts suggest that Mr. Valente lacked the necessary resources as an attorney in the process of establishing a new practice, to represent me successfully or effectively. For example lack of knowledge of my case' details, failure to obtain appropriate expert witnesses in preparation of trial, and an overall failure to retain the facts of my case as presented to him by me in our few meetings and many email communications. Mr. Valente did not attend my deposition during which I gave testimony about my experiences with medical malpractice and it's impact on my life. He also failed to obtain a copy of the deposition's transcript. Since my testimony contained in that transcript formed the basis for my case, Mr. Valente was unable to plan an appropriate case strategy. Mr. Valente retained hundreds of dollars from my settlement in addition to his 40 percent fee for expenses alledged but not factually incurred. One such expense was approximately $800 for the never obtained deposition transcript. Many times, Mr. Valente did not reply to requests for information or respond to information that I provided He failed to inform me of over thirty legal motions pertaining to my case over a 14-month period. I self-discovered these motions and documents which formed an outline of how my case was proceeding in the discovery process online months after the fact. As a result of Mr. Valente's failure to keep me informed about my case, the defense attorney was permitted to interrogate any and all healthcare providers that I was currently visiting or had seen for health concerns in the past for any kind of treatment without my knowledge or participation, a clear violation of HIPAA security laws. Mr. Valente or someone in his employ forged my signature on numerous letters sent to the defendent's attorneys permitting the privacy-violating process to take place. Specifically, the letters stated that I had "no intention" of quashing defense' motion to interview my doctors. Thus, the motion was granted. In fact, I had no idea that defense counsel would be permitted to invade my health care related privacy in such a broadly delineated manner. This practice has been prevented as a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) patient privacy law by many U.S. courts. Mr. Valente, was legally required to inform and offer me my right to file a motion to quash the procedure in order to start the process of a legal determination for its necessity by the court system. When I questioned him about it, he indicated that it was insignificant. Perhaps it was not significant to Mr. Valente, however it was my protected Healthcare information at issue. I would say that precludes Mr. Valente from making a moral judgment about its significance. The current law "says" it is not his legal right to do so without consulting with me. Valente became evasively (and ineffectually) defensive in his written communications to me after I learned of the seriousness of his failures. Mr. Valente was deceitful, non-responsive and ultimately refused to respond to my direct questions concerning issues that I had after the settlement, as new facts emerged about his shortcomings in representing me in the case. I would under no circumstance recommend Mr. Valente to anyone. I have filed formed complaints against him with two separate legal bars. Ultimately, working with him was a damaging, galling and self-defeating experience.

I am in need of a Virginia attorney to review a business contract for me. I had good chats with two…read moreother candidates I'd identified. Then Marc Busman returned my call. As I began to outline what I needed, I saw immediately that Mr. Busman never met a sentence he couldn't interrupt. Five minutes later, he was telling me that he would suggest a whole other type of legal transaction, and I'd tried three separate times to say "that sounds sensible, but my client has already had it drawn up this other way, and we've agreed to the essence of the terms so I'm not sure she'd be open to restructuring"--but I just was not being permitted to get all that out. I finally said, "You know, I think I have all the information I need; I don't think this will be a good fit, but thanks for your time and good night." Then I hung up. Can I just tell you that man apparently stewed for five minutes and then CALLED ME BACK, all accusatory? "Miz So-and-So, are you interested in doing business with our firm?" Umm. "Well, no; as I didn't feel I was being heard during our conversation, I don't believe we'd work well together." Guess he wasn't listening to what I was saying then, either, since the next thing out of his mouth oh my god I swear to you was "So you just wanted some free legal advice?" Wow. In sum, if you would like to retain an attorney who is incapable of letting another human being finish a sentence, who wants to tell you your situation instead of being told, and who will go out of his way to pull a petty, vindictive stunt if you've ticked him off, then by all means do hire Marc A. Busman, Esquire. Otherwise? There's a surfeit of lawyers competing for too little work these days, so cross this one off your list with confidence.
