Terrible in presenting evidence to the court. Actually cursed at me during a court session break. (said, "fuck you") right to my face. When we returned to the court room, he was so nervous that I would tell the Judge. Next day he was totally a different person a Jekyll and Hyde person. Then he wanted to be fully paid. As I said he did NOT present all the pertinent documents to the court. The Judge said, "I can only rule on what is presented." So make sure ALL the information is presented to the court. Know your rights, you can fire your attorney at any time. Also you CAN tell the Judge that you are not being represented accurately and that all the information given to your counsel has NOT been presented. My case was not handled properly and I lost in many ways not just money/financial, emotional restitution and dignity and respect but I lost faith in my not being BOLD enough to stand up and say Richard J. KAPLOW is not fit to take or continue with my case and should not be paid one penny. Just also remember this: who ever has the money in this world (now) wins! No matter if you are right. SPEAK UP if you feel it's not going right, trust your heart. But speak to the person who has the power the JUDGE!

The law offices of Norman Albert did a fantastic job of handling our concerns and ensuring a smooth…read moreand timely closing for the purchase of our first home. The attorney that handled our closing, Carolyn Kropp, is truly amazing for a number of reasons - she's patient, kind, knowledgeable, considerate, capable, competent, and very responsive. On top of that, she consistently demonstrated a deep passion for her job and worked hard to give us the proper advice. Most importantly, Carolyn was there with us through every step of the way - negotiating our (sometimes tough) concerns with the Seller and coordinating with the bank to make sure they stayed on top of all the necessary items to ensure a timely closing. We feel very blessed and lucky to have worked with Carolyn and highly recommend her and the Law Offices of Norman Albert to anyone looking for a real estate attorney that knows their stuff!

From the day we made the offer until the day we signed our closing papers, Carolyn was our most trusted advisor. She gave pertinent advice and took the time to explain some of the finer points about home buying that I was not familiar with. Never did she or Norman lose patience with my pestering, and they made sure that we were able to close on time. I can't say a single bad thing about working with them. You'd be sorely mistaken to pick another attorney in the area.

All I did was care for my grandmother and succeed at keeping her in good health till I met Lauren. She is a different kind of evil. I will be leaving a much more detailed, chronologically ordered and written proof docu-series type story about my time with Lauren and the corruption of the UC family court system in the next couple days. This wasn't even 10% of the wrongdoing. If you care for your loved ones, please, do not hire Lauren to handle it. You will end up defeated and overcharged by the worst of the legal defense you'll ever find. What she has done should be criminal, and I will make sure my grandmothers story doesn't go untold. I also have documentation of all allegations + more I will be compiling in the next few days. If anyone has any questions about the legitimacy of my claims, please reach out so I can extensively prove I haven't scratched the surface of her corruption.

I was terminated by my employer by email. Michael Kaplonski and Attorney Fred Shahrooz Scampato were also hired to defend me on a fraudulent retaliation lawsuit filed by my former employer. The employer also claimed that I was blackmailing him with pictures and videos. They failed to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit against me. Michael Kaplonski and Fred Shahrooz Scampato failed to investigate the facts of the case. To continue, after 14 months of handling the lawsuits. They failed to communicate properly. I did not receive an email from them in 7 months. Law Offices of Michael Kaplonski & Fred Shahrooz Scampato Address: 121 S Euclid Ave 2nd floor, Westfield, NJ 07090 Hours: Closed Opens 9 AM Fri Phone: (908) 389-1100 They claimed my Father's Doctor would not cooperate with them. However, when I spoke with the Doctor. He said he doesn't know what my attorneys have been telling me. The Doctor provided a disability letter. Attorneys gave the doctor 10 days to provide the letter. However, they had months to request this letter from my Father's Doctor. Michael Kaplonski and Fred Shahrooz Scampato claimed that the fraudulent lawsuit against me would cost over $20,000.0; in case I lost the original lawsuit. Fred Shahrooz Scampato also claimed that he did not get medical records from the doctors. However, I supplied medical records months prior. Michael Kaplonski and Fred Shahrooz Scampato advised me to drop the lawsuit by email. However, they did not state the terms of the settlement which I demanded. Once I signed the release; The settlement agreement was all in favor of the former employer. I argued with Kaplonski and Scampato for days. However, they made only minor changes to the settlement agreement. They stated if I don't sign the agreement. That they would walk away from representing me. Fred Shahrooz Scampato said that I was unable to get family leave. However, I could get it on my own without his help. Did not recover 1 cent. I did file a grievance against both attorneys Kaplonski and Scampato. They failed to release the lien on my lawsuit. However, they said they had no interest in my case. Poor communication is not recommended, I give you -5 stars. Horrible experience with these two attorneys.

Zero stars. This attorney is a liar and a cheat. He missed deadline after deadline. Made me…read moreresponsible for exorbitant fees by holding on to my $400,000 check made out to the Division of Taxation and Inheritance. I still don't know how much extra money I owe because he missed the deadline of filing the taxes by one month and six days. Then upon reviewing the document he had my address incorrect on two separate pages. The first one being the most important. Bot he and his Paralegal Mary Coro talked down to us even though they counted on us to get the date of death values for three bank accounts. She told us the money was released from one bank, but neglected to prepare executor paperwork and sent the release forn without a Notary stamp and blamed it on the bank. She then sent a new form with Notary and had us overnight it. Then she held onto the copy for over a week, neglecting to mail it out. I phoned the branch manager and determined that she was holding onto all the forms that I was emailing. I also requested that she originals uf the short administrator form to my FL attorney so that I can take possession of the Florida property. I requested it a month prior. After a month, sick of waiting, I contacted the Union County Surrogates office and order the forms myself and mailed them to the fl attorney. Mary wrote my nephew the next day and said she sent the forms to the Florida attorney and charged $116.00 per form. This was after she was instructed that I had handled the matter myself. I contacted the fl attorney who confirmed Mary never sent the forms and the Union surrogates court who confirmed that the only party that order the forms was myself. So she lied to hold up the ownership progress of the house and made up a fictitious bill to cost me more money. As stated they were a month and five days late with completing the taxes, have my address wrong in two places on the form and complained that I had the copy for five days to do due diligence on it. Five days before the taxes were due Allen Barkin contacts me and my nephew and says that my taxes are in excess of $400,000 and that he contacted the bank account that had more than that in it and asked them to release the funds but they turned him down. He also told us not to contact the div of Taxation and Inheritance directly. He said it would take five months for him to wriggle the money from the accounts. I went on the division Of Inheritance and taxation website and in direct opposition to what he said, the bank can't refuse you access to the funds as long as they were available in the acct. He just wanted another five months of billing and didn't give a flying merde how much I accrued in interest. Both Allan Barkin and MRy Coro are deceitful, greddy,liars and are unprofessional. Use them at your peril. They Re the lowest of the low.
