Prior to moving forward with my divorce, I contracted Mr. Thomas regarding my situation. After a lengthy conversation, I decided I needed a little more time. Several months later when I was ready to move forward, he was right there. He walks you through the process, advises of all of your options, and most of all he was supportive throughout the entire process. He interacts with your experience and followed by sound advice. I felt like he was not just an attorney but somewhat of a counselor which help keep me mentally sane. He was able to get my divorce finalized in 6 months. I highly recommend James Thomas is you want an attorney that is going to treat you like a person and not a dollar sign.

I retained Mr. Valente for a complicated medical malpractice case involving the permanent blinding…read moreof my left eye and lifelong issues with recurring symptoms that threaten the need to have the eye removed. The malpractice involved was clear, easily identified, and devastatingly damaging to me. I received a vastly insufficient settlement dollar amount. I received a settlement despite Mr. Valente's negative input; without his input, which resulted in underestimated damages communicated during arbitration of my case, I almost surely would have been awarded a higher and more commensurate-with-damages level of compensation based on the facts. Some of the issues I faced while retaining Mr. Valente follow: Mr. Valente utterly failed to accurately assess my economic and non-economic damages . The arbitration process was extremely premature: my damages were not fully established by any means or standard; It was his responsibility to understandnd and effectively convey the extent of damages to me and to the defendent's counsel as well as to a jury at trial. There is no evidence of preparation of my case for trial, as he was contracted to facilitate. Instead, he negotiated a small-in-proportion to my damages settlement. The facts suggest that Mr. Valente lacked the necessary resources as an attorney in the process of establishing a new practice, to represent me successfully or effectively. For example lack of knowledge of my case' details, failure to obtain appropriate expert witnesses in preparation of trial, and an overall failure to retain the facts of my case as presented to him by me in our few meetings and many email communications. Mr. Valente did not attend my deposition during which I gave testimony about my experiences with medical malpractice and it's impact on my life. He also failed to obtain a copy of the deposition's transcript. Since my testimony contained in that transcript formed the basis for my case, Mr. Valente was unable to plan an appropriate case strategy. Mr. Valente retained hundreds of dollars from my settlement in addition to his 40 percent fee for expenses alledged but not factually incurred. One such expense was approximately $800 for the never obtained deposition transcript. Many times, Mr. Valente did not reply to requests for information or respond to information that I provided He failed to inform me of over thirty legal motions pertaining to my case over a 14-month period. I self-discovered these motions and documents which formed an outline of how my case was proceeding in the discovery process online months after the fact. As a result of Mr. Valente's failure to keep me informed about my case, the defense attorney was permitted to interrogate any and all healthcare providers that I was currently visiting or had seen for health concerns in the past for any kind of treatment without my knowledge or participation, a clear violation of HIPAA security laws. Mr. Valente or someone in his employ forged my signature on numerous letters sent to the defendent's attorneys permitting the privacy-violating process to take place. Specifically, the letters stated that I had "no intention" of quashing defense' motion to interview my doctors. Thus, the motion was granted. In fact, I had no idea that defense counsel would be permitted to invade my health care related privacy in such a broadly delineated manner. This practice has been prevented as a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) patient privacy law by many U.S. courts. Mr. Valente, was legally required to inform and offer me my right to file a motion to quash the procedure in order to start the process of a legal determination for its necessity by the court system. When I questioned him about it, he indicated that it was insignificant. Perhaps it was not significant to Mr. Valente, however it was my protected Healthcare information at issue. I would say that precludes Mr. Valente from making a moral judgment about its significance. The current law "says" it is not his legal right to do so without consulting with me. Valente became evasively (and ineffectually) defensive in his written communications to me after I learned of the seriousness of his failures. Mr. Valente was deceitful, non-responsive and ultimately refused to respond to my direct questions concerning issues that I had after the settlement, as new facts emerged about his shortcomings in representing me in the case. I would under no circumstance recommend Mr. Valente to anyone. I have filed formed complaints against him with two separate legal bars. Ultimately, working with him was a damaging, galling and self-defeating experience.

However her timeliness is very poor and when I request a status or even information she responds snappy over text but when I call her tone is different. Do not expect to turn your case over to her and be hands off. You must stay engaged to push the process or know a status as well as keep her on tasks. Time management is not a strength. Her administrative skills are very minimal she sent me an agreement with someone else's names ( I'm sure she forgot to make changes) addresses etc... additionally I sent her an email of everything that was to be incorporated and that was even incorrect. Instead of going back and forth with her I made the changes and sent the completed document to her. You must request an invoice, of services rendered from the retainer, she will not provide it. Rest assured she will make it exact to the retainer..... The court date was set for a specific case I noticed this on the paperwork from the court of the I texted and emailed her. Her response was.... she would get it changed the day of or well have to go back to court! I responded, that is not what I'm paying your for; it is an absolute divorce. The day of there was a delay because she filed it wrong and we had to wait for a Judge to preside the case. Again, I had to reach out to her for my decree she said she mailed it. A week or so later I still didn't receive it she responds (via text) with holiday and COVID mail is delayed..... False! I received it about a week later she had just mailed it, again I had to tell her to mail it. She's really all over the place and will say what you want to hear for money. She charged me for emails, phone calls, text messages, court appearance; however she failed to credit me for listening g to her personal parenting issues that she called me for seeking advice (23 min phone conversation) and additional emails and text messages correcting her information that I had previously provided to her correctly.
