I hired Guadagno Law, PLLC during a very serious and stressful time in my life, and my experience…read morewas deeply disappointing. I paid a substantial fee based on the expectation that I would receive diligent, informed, and reliable representation. Instead, I experienced poor communication, inconsistent information, and a lack of follow-through on important parts of my case. Throughout the representation, I was often told that evidence was being pursued from the city, but from my perspective that never actually resulted in meaningful progress. There were also serious issues with attendance and case handling. My understanding is that he did not appear at arraignment in my matter, and after I terminated the representation, a motion was filed that delayed proceedings, but he then did not appear for the related hearing. That added even more frustration and confusion to an already difficult situation. Another major issue has been the fee dispute. The written fee agreement described one arrangement, a payment receipt I received described a different refund calculation, and later correspondence referenced yet another hourly rate. After I terminated the representation on March 24, 2026, I repeatedly requested a full accounting of services and return of any unearned fees. Despite multiple requests and assurances that an accounting would be provided, I did not receive the full accounting I asked for. I also felt that the amount of work being claimed did not match my actual experience. Meetings were generally short, sometimes rescheduled, and overall I did not feel the level of service reflected the amount of money paid. Hiring a lawyer requires trust, responsiveness, and clarity. In my experience, those things were missing here. I am leaving this review because I do not want someone else to go through the same experience I did. My advice to anyone considering this firm is to get every fee term in writing, keep detailed records of all communication, and ask hard questions early.

Good thing I showed up myself to court on two of them when I shouldn't have had to! But the 3rd one he got me a bench warrant for not appearing! Save yourself the hassle and headache that comes with him! Like the other person said he must have got his license in a crack box! Not bbb accredited! Never once during a hearing did he come prepared with any notes or anything! Not to mention His failure to submit any evidence on my behalf that easily would have vindicated me absolutely infuriates me! lack of due diligence!!! I've been walking around Unknowing I've had a warrant for a month! And I had to find out myself when I called the court! Even though I've been contacting Albert for months to figure out what's going on with the case! Instead he is over here on vacation! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

They almost always responded to my questions immediately, which is incredibly rare and gave me great confidence throughout the entire process. I also appreciated their honesty and integrity. They gave me a realistic assessment of the merits of my case instead of simply telling me what I wanted to hear or taking the case just for profit. Their advice was thoughtful, transparent, and always in my best interest. Despite taking on my case at very short notice, they handled everything professionally and did an excellent job. The entire team worked seamlessly together and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier. A special thank you to Ian, Tommy, Cynthia, and Mark. From the legal assistants to the paralegal and attorneys, everyone was knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping. Their teamwork and dedication exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a law firm that is responsive, honest, and truly cares about its clients, I would not hesitate to recommend this team.

After witnessing this firm in action recently, and seeing a *shocking* review left recently on…read moreGoogle Reviews about domestic violence, I felt strongly compelled as a citizen to leave this review. One of the reviews for this firm celebrates a legal victory, but it's important to challenge the narrative presented. An acquittal in a court of law does not automatically equate to a "false accusation." It signifies that the legal standard of proof "beyond a reasonable doubt"--a very high bar--was not met by the prosecution. Many documented cases of domestic violence, unfortunately, do not result in convictions due to the inherent difficulties survivors face in the legal system. Credibility attacks, skillful legal maneuvering, and the way trauma can impact memory and testimony are often exploited, regardless of the underlying facts or evidence like documented injuries. Praising an attorney for "destroying the credibility" of a complainant, especially in a DV context, warrants scrutiny. Was credibility destroyed, or was a traumatized individual effectively attacked on the stand? To suggest this acquittal definitively proves the accusations were false ignores the statistical reality that the justice system frequently struggles to deliver convictions in these complex cases. This outcome could equally be viewed as another example of those systemic failings. While this legal chapter may be closed, the underlying facts remain. One hopes that all involved consider the potential long-term consequences, as public and professional opinion often takes a broader view than the courtroom allows, especially if the full circumstances, documentation, and witness accounts were ever brought to light.
