I found her practice's billing policy to be extremely deceptive and cancelled our agreement after…read moreshe asked for more money without even reviewing a draft of the document in question. She charged 1/4 of an hour to read and reply to each email response (even if it takes 1 minute), making every e-mail correspondence cost $175. Additionally she'd charge 1/4 when she checked in on status, thereby having free rein to inflate her bill. To put one situation in context I asked for a lawyer recommendation for my partner, which I was charged $350 for her to provide and didn't get flagged until I saw the bill. Additionally her work did not reflect the intent of what I was trying to accomplish, which having additional drafts only further increases her bill. I'd recommend others for services as I spent several thousand to receive no benefit. Additionally when I posted my experience, she responded in a bullying and condescending manner, publicly stating I was trying to get free services which is a bold-faced lie; all because I questioned why asking for a lawyer reference cost me $350 or her other charges. I feel bad for the client she is charging for the time spent posting google review responses.

I retained the Law Offices of Robert Tsigler in early February 2026 and paid a $3,500 retainer…read morebased on their reputation, expecting a high level of professionalism and responsiveness. It took approximately 11-12 days for the firm to file its appearance, and nearly three weeks before I had a meaningful conversation with the initially assigned attorney, John Fink. During that time, communication was limited and there was little sense of urgency. In late February, after I raised concerns about communication and the handling of my case, Mr. Fink stated that "we will be withdrawing as your counsel" while my case remained unresolved and an active warrant was still outstanding. I raised these concerns because of the firm's reputation and expected the issue to be addressed by management. Instead, I was reassigned to Scott Migden and told the matter would be handled quickly. However, over the following weeks, I did not observe meaningful progress. No motions were filed, and I was repeatedly told the firm was "waiting to hear back from the prosecutor," with no clear advancement in my case. When I requested updates, I was often directed to phone calls instead of receiving written responses, and those calls consistently provided the same information without new developments. When I reviewed the billing statement, a significant portion of the charges appeared to be for communication, internal discussions, and administrative tasks rather than substantive legal work. I was also told there was essentially no case file beyond what I had provided, yet the billing reflected work on a "case file," which I found inconsistent. I also later learned that the original attorney remained listed as my attorney of record in the New Jersey court system as of April, which added to my concern about who was actively handling my case during that time. After all of this, I was informed that continued representation would require an additional $6,500. I had no issue paying additional fees if meaningful work had been performed, but based on the billing and lack of progress, I did not feel further fees were justified. After I indicated I intended to leave an honest review, I received a response from Joseph Caldarera stating that the firm would respond through legal or professional channels if necessary, which I found concerning. Based on my experience, I was dissatisfied with the communication, billing practices, and overall handling of my case, and I am pursuing fee arbitration and an ethics complaint in New Jersey.

The first thing David will tell you is to never rush into a bankruptcy petition. His team will guide you through the steps you need to take to construct the six-month look back period prior to filing the petition for a successful Chapter 7 case. He is always available via email and Zoom meetings upon request. He even personally responds to your emails on the weekends! Be wary of other lawyers who advertise legal fees of $1500 and under. The last thing you want is to turn your Chapter 7 case into a Chapter 13 due to lack of good counseling, guidance, or diligence. David's law firm does charge a little bit more than those other firms, but it is still reasonable, and his team will stick with you to the end and never simply give up. And if you can get all of your unsecured debts fully discharged, the legal fees are worth every last penny.
