I've had several attorneys tell me that my previous attorney was guilty of malpractice and my new council even went as far as making out a notice of claim against my previous attorney but when he had unforeseen medical issues with his father and couldn't take my case I had to look elsewhere... My mother found Mr. Waxman desperately trying to find someone to take over the case... I had my new attorney send Mr. Waxman a letter that wasn't cheap for her to draft just for him to tell me it has no merit... What really upset me was when he told me that a judge decided that it was in the best interest of the child that i not be with my son as much I was blown away... this man is sick in the head. After 2 years of 50% custody with no legal issues or even a threateaning text on my behalf to my ex. Attorney Grimes failed to respond to a motion to vacate over a year and a half after the divorce was put on record and then he failed to appeal in time after taking an extra $800 from us. You're severely mistaken Mr. Waxman and you can go to hell with Kevin Grimes mounted up behind you. ***Below is an exerp from an email my new family law attorney sent after telling her about my interaction with Mr. Waxman " Hi Steve, I'm so sorry that he treated you like that. I actually had asked my assistant to reach out to you to schedule a time for you to come in to discuss your case. One of the things I wanted to talk to you about was the impression that I got from him. I was going to recommend that you look elsewhere for another attorney to help you work out the malpractice case because I also did not like his demeanor even when responding to me."

My 5 minute phone conservation about questions relative to my case was personally addressed by Mr…read more Waxman with insulting remarks and repetitive foul language. He was very unprofessional. I felt he does not base your case on merit, because he knew nothing about mine and told me to go screw myself because he had more important things to do. Do not waste your time and money on this attorney, especially when it comes to dealing with major cases involving municipalities. He personally sounded burnt out to me but that is my opinion. He made me feel like the guilty party, even though the judgment in my case was dismissed. Below is a copy of an email exchange between us following my inquiring about his thoughts on my case. I have since learned my case does have merit. I informed the town within 180 days that I have a claim against them, and I also know I have 2 years to file suit when he told me I had no course of action. The following is a copy of our email exchange with me first responding to how he addressed me on the phone and abruptly hung up on me. I wrote: You hung up so quickly I didn't get a chance to comment on the way you spoke to me. You were extremely insulting and your language and attitude was certainly uncalled for. I am very surprised that is how you address somebody inquiring about their concerns with the law, because that is what your job is suppose to be. I let Tony Irace know that his recommendation of you is a reflection on him and that he couldn't have made a worse suggestion for someone to speak with about my case. If I didn't know any better, your concern is that your personal practice would be affected for taking on a public office or town because your all in bed together. I met with several lawyers within your 180 days, and none of them had the balls just like you. Sincerely, Michel Salvaggio Jr. Mr Michael Waxman responded with: Mjwaxy mjwaxy@aol.com Mar 19 (4 days ago) My daughter called, and when my kids call, I respond, immediately. I am so sick and tired of people who call me claiming they want legal advice when what they really want is for someone to just listen to them rant and hold their hand. You reacted very foolishly to crappy behavior by another person and there were consequences for your confusing, strange post. It could have sounded like a threat. That you refuse to acknowledge this tells me that you really are not able to accept your role in this whole affair. My language offended you? Wow. That kind of amazes me. As far as the lawyers you met with within 180 days, they clearly had no clue how to prosecute these cases or they would at least have made sure that you were aware of the 180 Notice of Claim. It is not MY fault that those lawyers blew it and essentially prevented you from suing. And as far as lacking the balls to sue public officials, once again, you are incorrect. Feel free to peruse my website and some of the articles I have posted. www.waxmanlaw.us You have no case because you missed the deadline. Why would I spend more of my time holding your hand after I have informed you that the law prevents you from suing the cops or the Town? I gave you correct legal advice, but you wanted me to be kinder and gentler to you? I save that for my kids. Good luck. Michael J. Waxman, Esq. One Monument Way, 2nd Floor P.O.

I received a draft in the mail to the scheduled commitment. I proof read the documents and found no errors or omissions, and all of my considerations were properly represented. The office legal/administrative assistant, Kristine, was very accommodating is scheduling meetings, and timely in responses to emailed or phone call questions. I would describe the personnel demeanor as professionally pleasant, helpful and patient. Which helps a great deal in these types of matters.

I would not recommend her to anyone, and would suggest looking a lawyer professional enough to care about her potential clients, as well as respect them enough to not chat on the phone in her living room with her pets barking in the background.

It's very hard to describe, just saying how I feel. She helped me realize and accept the bad had happened and it was time to stand up for myself. She got this point across with incredible class and empathy. I started not to feel so little. Within weeks she pulled my case together and I started to feel like I was myself again. See, no matter how confident and experienced you are you can always be knocked down, but it matters who you have around you which determines how and even if you will stand back up. Sally didn't pull me along instead she explained things in a way that helped me get the fight back. She helped me feel worth standing up for myself. As you can imagine it is all very jarring if you have to seek out a labor attorney. Something bad must have had to have taken place right? So I say again, it matters who you have with you. Sally was, well, with me and she was with me the whole time. The value I place on her is so incredibly overwhelming larger than transactional. She is my friend for life. She became a mentor for me and to me. Not only did I receive justice but I grew even stronger ready for the next issue to solve. Really appreciate you Sally. Always a phone call away for you and your family!!! (I'm scouring my phone right after I write this for a photo hang tight)

I work in the medical field and found myself facing a situation that could have jeopardized my livelihood, career, and everything I've worked so hard to achieve. I'm proud of the work I do for my community, and the thought of losing that was overwhelming. Roger immediately recognized my anxiety about my career, my fear of unemployment, and the weight of the situation. After reviewing all the discovery, audio, video, and radio communications, he broke down the case layer by layer, in a way that made me feel informed, supported, and never like "the little guy." This was a complex case, and I was facing a second DUI/OUI charge, serious, life-changing allegations. I could write at length about Roger's professionalism, persistence, support, and respect, but I hope this review conveys even a fraction of what he did for me. He is truly at the top of his field. Even after your case is closed or continued, he remains committed to supporting his clients for as long as needed. This was not my first criminal matter, and I can confidently say that not every attorney is as genuine or dedicated as Roger. I cannot thank him enough for protecting my career, restoring my sense of pride, and relieving the financial and emotional burden of a situation that should never have escalated the way it did.
