I'm a real estate investor. I called Attorney John Pulgini in February of this year in search of a…read morereal estate attorney that has experience working with investors. I had interviewed several attorneys, but wanted someone local who knew the market. He assured me he's worked with many investors & developers and could represent me on the deal. I didn't have the deal I was working on locked up under contract, which was my first mistake. I informed him I had a verbal to purchase a property off market and below market value. I was working on the purchase and sale agreement with the seller, and needed his firm's help with drafting the P&S agreement. He said no problem, and assured me everything we discussed was confidential, would not be shared with anyone and subject to attorney client confidentiality. I sent him over the documentation, property address, draft of the P&S etc. My verbal agreement with the seller was to purchase the property for $475K. Pulgini said he'd get back to me within 24 hours. Well, 3 days go by and no answer from John or his office. When I reached out to him he ignored my phone calls and emails. Finally he has one of his associate attorney's, Kathleen Avitable, get back in touch with me. She strung me along for a few more days, saying that they were still drafting the P&S they were supposed to have returned to me 3 days ago. Turns out Puglini knew the seller of the property. What I suspect happened is he went to the seller and told them he could give them more money for the property. Two weeks later I see the same property I was going to purchase for $475K listed on the MLS for $675K. The property has sat on the market for 2 months because they priced it too high, as of 5/21/18, it's listed at $615K, don't believe me look up the property address: 127 Dana Avenue, Hyde Park MA 02136. I wouldn't trust this "attorney" with a 10 foot pole. If he can do this to me, he can and will do this to anyone. Unethical to say the least. Lesson learned.

This went on for years. Within 3 months of hiring these folks, I was approved. Holly was especially helpful and kept in contact with me. Many days I'm unable to talk on the phone. They were especially helpful in allowing text message correspondence. This was my 2nd time hiring an attorney and my third time applying, appealing for disability. They worked some magic. I am grateful and now have some peace of mind and stability. They were perfect for my case. I recommend them for anyone whos getting the run around because it stopped IMMEDIATELY upon hiring them. Due to my being denied so long over and over the payoff they received was not a whole lot yet they were willing to help me. These are good people, it's obviously not just about money for them. Our system for approval is very much broken. They know all the tricks and techniques to make an approval happen, and it was extremely timely relative to how long I had been waiting for the snail's pace of the disability department.

I was very embarrassed about the situation but Patrick made me feel like I wasn't a bad person and these things just happen. For an attorney his bed side manner was execellent and I felt like he really cared about me and the outcome of my case. He spoke to me many times on the phone to remind me that these things happen and he was confident he could get the charges dropped due to his knowledge of the Boston legal system and his relationships with the county procurators. I asked a ton of question and Patrick was very nice and answered them in a way that made me feel like everything was under control. He's not one to brag but he knows the Boston legal system very well and is a well respected member of the of the court, and well liked by the judges and procurators. He got me a very fair judgement and came back multiple times to my defense and never asked for incremental fees. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He reputation within the Boston legal system is outstanding and he was clearly the best attorney when my day in court arrived. I could have been happier with my choice of attorneys.

If this Attorney Patrick Donovan was 5 star at anything it was being stupid and a money sucking…read moreliar. Makes a district case transfer to Supior so he can ask for money every time he is supposed to show up. He was there a couple times to make sure that the case was going to be delayed as many times as he could possibly get it delayed. If one day is good for one its not for him. Then he was actually FIRED by me. He saw me go up the stairs to talk to another person I knew in dedham, so I could ask him what I do now that I just fired my Attorney. And Donovan was on the phone with my father trying to get him to mail another check! Is that legal? Nope! And it is/was recorded. So, when my father asked for some of his money back since Patrick really did more damage than anything good, Patrick sent him a piece of paper with fake fees and dates on it and he charged for the "free consult". This was 2011/2012. The way my father found him was online where it stated "FREE CONSULTATION". He charged more for the things he did and made happen. He is 5 star at getting all the money he can, and i can't see how he would ever get to trial. He was at court 3 times. And kept it in pre-trial. I fired him for shouting in the middle of the 2 courts, outside; you blah blah blah. And the blah was him saying I did what I was being accused of by a mentally ill person that I had a restraining order on. It was a lawyers dream case. The plaintiff plead the 5th. Lol. Yet he did that, and called to try to get more money before I got home but I called my father right when I got to my car. And he was trying to inbezzle another 5 digit check from the perosn that wanted me to have an attorney. But in the end my court appointed Dedham Attorney did all it took to get it dropped. It never even went to court. So I should have gone to the board and sued. But the statute of limitations was up by the time the mess PATRICK caused me, calmed. And he never sent a penny back. Money is all he is actually going to put any effort in. How to get certain personalities to do everything to save themselves. When they are being made to fear, so they will give this embezzlor more money and more money. Even after he is fired and no longer my Attorney. He wants to be paid for being fired? If this wasn't so traumatic for me, I would not be still reviewing so nobody else has to go through what I have with this clown. And no money sent back. Just asked for more! I will always review until Karma has done its job. And it will. Bye now Pat. You should pay me back since you did charge for a free consult and you did get fired and try to get another check in your pocket before I could talk to my father. FYI: you can't ask for more money after you are FIRED!! I have no reason to lie, i have every reason to spend my time doing anything but this. Therefore it must have been worse than words can explain. Also there is karma in saying things about someone after 12 years. I try to leave a review on Pat D. Every year. Till 2026.
