I recently was wrongfully terminated from my position and when calling in asked about if the…read morelawyers would work for contingency. I was informed that they do, it was up to the lawyer if they would, there is a $500.00 consultation fee for 1 hour. I pay the fee,and the lawyer called 10 minutes late, said they only work contingency with people that earned over 100k. Told me I could take them to small claims court and a few other things but really not worth the $525.00 (500+ tax) that I paid. The entire call was 20 minutes long. The receptionist could have informed me about the minimum wage required before I wasted my money. S. Monfette

Unacceptably slow responses cost me money and added stress…read more I retained Alex Lucifero, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin in August 2023. While I don't believe his representation improved the outcome, I was satisfied with the expertise and legal advice I received. The problem, rather, was related to response times. Replies to my simple, sometimes time-sensitive questions, by email, repeatedly went unanswered for over a week, despite many follow-ups to Mr. Lucifero and his assistant. As I write this, I've been waiting on a reply to one last question for 85 days (60 days since I asked it the third time.) As a result of all the delays, I ended up losing about $900. Mr. Lucifero also missed a calculation error that would have cost me $4,400 had I not caught it myself. Beyond the financial impacts, Mr. Lucifero's lack of attention to my dossier added considerable stress during an already stressful time. I know I am not a big fish. In hindsight, I wish I'd taken my business elsewhere or asked for a more junior lawyer who might have been more attentive.

Due to their misrepresentation, lack of case specific knowledge and intimidation tactics to me by my lawyer and a senior partner I would not recommend their services.

We all expect a reasonable outcome but in my case it was a nightmare due to lack of experience and knowledge on their behalf.
