If by any chance you are able to get a hold of him, he will yell at you "If you disagree, then we have a conflict of interest and I will keep your retainer but refuse to represent you." He is deeply deceptive and won't do anything to help you. He'll never update you on your case. He'll contact the other party's counsel without your authorization. He will cite precedent that has nothing to do with your case. He will run the case so poorly and miss so many deadlines that he will be rebuked by the court. You can do better for yourself.

My neighbor and I went to see Mr. Daunt over a road issue. We went as a team to split the costs…read more Mr. Daunt was aware that we wanted any communication with his paralegal or secertary for the lesser charge. this did not happen. We were asked for a $4,000 retainer. We were invoiced separately at $400.00 each for the consulation. Then we were charged things like Mr. Daunt leaving me a voicemail of 1 minute and 22 seconds at the rate of $40.00. Sending me an email at the charge of $40.00 and reading my very short responce of maybe 5 words another $20.00. All adding up to $700.00 each for my neighbor and I. My neighbor called the office and asked that Mr. Daunt not return the call yet he did and then charged for it. I feel the charges were unfair but you be the judge. I would think twice before hiring him. We fired him and sought out another Attorney.

When you are trying to explain something to the staff they just say uh huh, ok. Like are you even writing anything I'm saying down!? What you say is gonna go in one ear and out the other. It takes forever for anything to get done by their office. I'm talking months! So if you wanted to hurry and get your paperwork submitted do not use this office! They don't know how to do anything. My mom is still waiting for paperwork to get processed since January. 8 months and we still don't even have a case number. We went to the workers compensation office and the information and assistance officer said no application has ever been submitted for the dates and gave us a packet how to fill out the application and the name of the insurance company we needed to submit the application. This attorney is a thief, I do not recommend this office at all!!

I had interviewed at least a handful of lawyers by the time I came across Steven Andre. He was one…read moreof only two lawyers who actually displayed genuine empathy for my situation, and was the only one that didn't leave me feeling further victimized upon hearing price quotes. While I didn't realize this at the time, turns out I was actually well equipped with the tools to fight this case on my own- I just needed a little coaching in regards to the legal system and as cheesy as it sounds, simply needed to hear that someone believed me. My story was one that I am sure countless women can relate to- I was facing an opponent whom had been emotionally/ mentally abusive to the point where I was suffering from rather severe PTSD, which strongly impacted my ability to accurately explain the nightmare I was dealing with. On top of this, I felt pretty powerless and completely failed by a system that I always had been told would protect me. One of the worst things I had faced during my ordeal was being written off as the stereotypical 'hysterical or crazy woman' upon attempting to relay my almost unbelievable experience (which quite honestly I expect to see made into a Dateline NBC episode or a Netflix movie one day.) The second worst thing I faced was accepting the hard truth: laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. Now I realize lawyers have to make a living, and it is their job to sell me their services. However, I am in customer service/ sales myself, and I have have always made it a point to engage in personal work ethic stressing the importance of balance between making a living and giving back to the community. And because I provide clients with genuinely honest advice, this sometimes means they don't enlist my services on that day in particular. But what I have found, is that taking this moral and ethical high road is how one earns clients for life. So...onto my point- Mr. Steven Andre is the kind of moral and ethical person that earns clients for life and you can trust he puts his clients' best interests first. Thank you again Steven, I truly appreciate you and hope you realize what a difference you made in my life

He spoke so quickly about things which I'm sure he repeats all the time, but were foreign to us. He didn't take the time to read or listen, and at one point intimated I was kind of stupid, when it was he who didn't read my question. After a settlement was reached and we received our settlement - and he his fee - we didn't hear from him again. It would have been professional of him to at least send an email to close things out, thank us for the business, ask if we had any other questions, etc., but I guess his payout wasn't enough for us to deserve that courtesy.

We recently availed ourselves of Bruce Julian Kitchin's free 30-minute consultation…read more Talk about Bang for the Buck! The consult went beyond 30 minutes but Mr. Kitchin kept answering our questions and gave us solid advice that helped us resolve our matter in an extremely affordable way. We found he was an excellent, patient listener. He was also compassionate, intelligent, and well-versed in a broad spectrum of the law. Our matter was "a little out of his domain," as noted below--but he advised us with common-sense instructions. We followed them and happily resolved our case. Our legal matter? Custody of a DOG. We'd found Kitchin under reviews of "Dog Attorneys." He told us, "Oh. I do dog BITES!" [^_^] Anyway his advice was spot on and we got our Family Dog back. Though Kitchin doesn't specialize in "dog custody" he adroitly translated tenets of the law to our specific case. This was of great benefit to us. And all for free. While it's true we didn't formally retain Bruce Kitchin, what he attained for us (getting our puppy home) was PRICELESS, as you dog owners probably know. Don't know what a mathematician or investor would call it but that's like getting an infinite return on zero invested. Kitchin studied at Santa Clara University -- a decent law school.

Additionally, as a retired software exec who has led numerous tech companies, I am very particular when it comes to detailed / technical writing, and I knew we were in good hands when I didn't have even a single edit suggestion for the motions that Mr. Coniglio and team drafted (a rarity for me).
