I retained attorney John Benson of Penglase & Benson in Doylestown, PA, and paid him a retainer to…read morehandle my matter. Unfortunately, after collecting the retainer, there was very little communication and no meaningful progress on my case for approximately four months. During that time, I sent multiple emails and placed many calls requesting updates and asking about the status of my matter. Most went unanswered. When I attempted to call, I was repeatedly told he was unavailable, in meetings, or on vacation. Despite my efforts to communicate, I struggled to get any clear information about what work, if any, was being done on my behalf. When I finally expressed concern about the lack of progress and communication, I was told that he was servicing over 500 clients and was asked whether he had done a good job for me in the past. When I called again today to ask why my matter had not been addressed, I was told I was "holding a gun to his head" to get the work done because 30 days ago when I called asking for assistance, I mentioned I would contact the bar association to seek help. My frustration is not only with the lack of progress but also with the lack of professionalism and respect shown throughout the process. Clients deserve timely communication, transparency, and responsiveness--especially after paying a retainer and trusting an attorney to handle an important legal matter. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this attorney in Doylestown, Bucks County PA.

I don't normally post negative reviews, but I have to for this business…read more 1) they made an error on my state (MD) return. They calculated that I would get a return of $308. When the state processed my tax paperwork the state calculated that I actually owed $246.31. Depalantino made an error of over $550! 2) when I inquired with Depalantino about this error their response was "we will get back to you." They did not. I paid the state, and never even got so much as an apology from Depalantino. 3) three months later (July) I got a "payment past due" notice for their tax preparation fee ($280). When I reviewed my Discover Card account I confirmed that I had actually paid them the $280 only five days after they initially billed me in April. Summary: error on tax preparation, failure at customer service, and they can't even keep track of their own finances.

With this underlying attitude toward people in general, I would be hard pressed to use this office again. Stay away

Then when you call him in on it he yells and threatens. Case in point, I just got charged $600 for two phone calls! My attorney, who is quite pricey, doesn't even charge that much. My bill with John YTD is almost $5,000 dollars just for filing my taxes. When we told John we got a letter from the IRS that he was off by $14,000 (!!!!) in the IRS s favor on our returns he told us to just ignore it. My wife had to handle the issue because John couldn t be bothered. We asked John to give us an estimate before providing services and he refused. Then he hires his daughter and she gets put in charge of my account. What are her qualifications? What is her experience? We get told not to ask. The first thing she does is completely reconfigure my chart of accounts. With no notice and no explanation. It was fine for last year and fine for John for the first 11 months of this year. Now suddenly it has to be completely revamped for no reason. And I get billed for it. John was asked to provide notice and reasons for services, not to just do something and charge us for it. John's response was he does what he wants and anyone who doesn't like it can leave. When John was told this was unprofessional he just exploded and hung up the phone. This guy is predatory. Lots of others with similar experiences. Stay away! ****Just an update on John P Cataldo. After publicizing Mr. Cataldo's unethical and unprofessional behavior, he has resorted to sending me harassing emails, calling me names and even making veiled threats of physical violence against me and members of my family. And I quote: "I will be dealing with you.". I have reported him to the police. In this day and age you just can't be too careful when someone starts making threats!!
