I had received 3 auto citations in East Orange (unwarranted btw) since I hold a commercial drivers…read morelicense it was important to me to have these citations dismissed if at all possible. I had received at least a half dozen Attorney advertisings within days after the citations which is normal in most city's. I looked online for reviews of the attorneys but info was far & few in between. I spoke briefly to Peter Maduabum on the phone briefly & made a appointment to speak with him in person. What impressed me most about Peter is that he sat down took his time & discussed my case with me as if it was a multi-million dollar lawsuit! He even took the time to speak to me about things I had concerns about, that had nothing to do with the citations. Look based on his office space, I can tell you that the low flat rate he charges for his firm representing you in traffic cases definitely is not the crux of his practice but nevertheless he treated me as if it was. The case actually turned out better then he told me it would, thanks to his associate attorney Edwin Mendez, both of the citations were dismissed completely. I had to only pay the non-moving citation. This had saved me several hundred dollars in turn. I can't recommend this Law Firm more.

Context: I have a giant property management company trying to avoid taking the necessary steps to re-lease my apartment in a timely manner after I had to relocate, and got some great advice for how to proceed. I've gathered a folder of evidence (videos of the unit, saved conversations, and screenshots) showing that I've acted in good faith while the management company hasn't, left the unit in move-in-ready condition, and followed the steps recommended by this firm in the interim -- so I don't expect them to waste their time trying to escalate, but if they do, then I'll certainly give Michael a call as he appears to be someone who cares.

Carpe Diem. I retained Mr Pontone to help me with an eviction case (the building was being sold)…read more He didn't update me as to status of the case, made court appearance appointments without consulting me, pressured me to take a deal (subsequently deleted the text exchange bc he knew what he was being dodgy, and took a contingency fee when he knew that I would be receiving a settlement (keys for cash) in addition to the retainer (which was subtracted from the settlement). So essentially, I got pretty shoddy service while he got an additional $7K for not very good representation. I do not recommend.

I did not know Jason Jones when we first started working together on my estate plan, but I have to say I instantly knew that I had made the correct choice of attorney. Plus, when I indicate that the two of us were "working together," it was very much the way throughout the entire journey - from very first introductory video chat all the way to the signing, witnessing, and notarizing of the documents. He spent countless hours with me working through every minute detail, and made suggestions how to achieve each desire of mine quite specifically. The peace I now feel of having all this in place is almost impossible to put into words, though I have tried to do my best here. I cannot recommend Jason Jones highly enough.

He is extremely fair, honest, and professional which is a lot when compared to some other people in this field. I had reached out to many lawyers about my landlord issue, and I was dismissed. Paul listened to my case and the details I had, and was able to settle the case in my favor. He is VERY communicative, and quick to respond to any emails. I don't know how he does it! If you need a lawyer you can trust, go to Paul! I look forward to working with him again in the future.

UPDATE: this attorney emailed me multiple times to complain about this review, a responsiveness…read morenotably absent when he was being paid to represent me on an urgent matter. I offered to change the review if he could demonstrate that any aspect of it was not factually accurate. He responded only with petty attempts at insults. I am legally disabled and was forced out of my sublet when the primary tenants entered illegally and claimed to be my roommates on July 6. I was referred to this attorney through ARAG legal insurance. On July 9 at 1:41PM this lawyer informed me via email "The only choice you have is to start an emergency action for illegal access" and agreed to be paid by ARAG to file this on my behalf. He informed me that he would not be able to file until early the following week. That was the last time he took a call from me. That evening I tried to retrieve belongings and the primary tenant tried to have me arrested. I called my lawyer frantic. He never acknowledged the call. I did not receive a draft until July 15, It had multiple omissions including failing to include any exhibits. He told me to make suggested edits but did not provide a document in editable format. I finally generated a Word doc with my suggested edits and asked if any were relevant. His only response was to demand payment for the process server and filing fee without instructions on how to submit payment which I did not receive until July 17. He suggested that I simply enter the apartment to retrieve the belongings, ignoring 1. the police instruction not to try to enter without a police escort and 2. that I am disabled and cannot move belongings without assistance.I asked him what I needed to do to get him to file the document in Court - now 11 days after I was forced out - and he withdrew, telling me to file myself ignoring, again , I AM LEGALLY PHYSICALLY DISABLED and sent me his wholly inadequate OSC draft which did not even have the the defendant's name spelled correctly. He had the option to decline the job on July 9. Instead he strung me along, knowing that I did not have access to Rx medication and other disability aids, for over a week before abandoning my case. I am now locked out, without my medication and other belongings, and have no help with Court. Shameful, unethical, and just cruel conduct
