Litigation
Not for nothing. I had the same experience on a case with my son. He did not show up and when he was called by another attorney he told the attorney he sent us a letter stating he would not be in court. We never received a letter, but I did get a full refund. I honestly think he is getting older and forgetful. He was one of the most sought after attorney’s in this area at one point. It may be time for him to retire.
Mr Fasanaro is a wonderful lawyer and person! He has helped me many, many times and I look up to him for his professionalism & his expertise! I couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Britni is absolutely correct…Perhaps, it is. time to take a back seat when facts become distorted. Horrible just negligent, lazy, and didn’t even come to the 1st hearing although he knew his client lives out of state. Did not inform her he would not be there and failed miserable to address the facts of what for him should have been a cake walk. A support /Arrearage matter that much as actually switched to a fictituous case of interrogatories where the opposing side presented not a shref of evidence of any sort. As he did not object and was unapologetic about his failure to appear. Requested client travel long distance on a Saturday, because he was unable to meet his office requirements and told his client to meet him Saturday morning to bring the retainer. Client traveled long distance and her assistant along with her went to his ofgice. He stated it’s on my calendar then on the court date failed to show.He did not answer his clients call after she traveled long distance, and was told by his office he forgot, and was in Accomack County. Why,? When contacted via phone by opposing counsel and the judge from the bench on speaker phone he answered them right away. Client, tired and surprised listen d as he stated it wasn’t on his calendar what after arriving long distance to pay his retainer on a Saturday.Witbout apologizing he in the presence of all parties continues the case without privacy or consulting first with his client of whom traveled long distance. He failed to submit the original docs provided him with financial info as evidence or to object that what was suppose to be an Support Arrearage hearing turned into a Interrogatory hearing with the opposing sid never presenting a shred of evidence thus, reducing the support and dismissing the arrearage Bizarre! When asked where the original financial docs were that we provided to be submitted as well evidence he was evasive. When asked to explain the Appeal he walked with client yo clerk’s window gazed and walked away leaving her their and stating I walked you to the window, Client stated no one paid you to walk them to a window He stated well I’m not on the Appeal, then later said okay, I’m on the Appeal but when agitated he was again not on the appeal. Asked him to compel the other party to adhere to the original order since it is on Appeal and he simply deflects and states I’m not your lawyer anymore At least he did admonish the opposing counsel of whom became extremely aggressive again towards his Fasnaros client and told his constituent you leave her alone, she can talk to her spouse those people are still married causing the man to refrain from further aggression towards her. Outside of that no sir, ma am his services will never be required neither will he recommended. The calling to Law should be a noble, moral and ethical calling for those seeking to serve . He stated his religious affiliation and the client stated then you should not be willing to partake in trickery. But when the root is not to make sure that no accussed person should br void proper legal ethical representation then the entire judicial system is afflicted and affected. Luke 11:54. Mr. Fasanaro perhaps you can become a Professor. In all honesty it’s sad that he will not be recommended as his client endured serious hardship and he submitted info that his client was unaware . He really was one of the savviest lawyers when it came to manuvering through the law and the Halls of Justice..The failure to show or yo properly assert the clients rights, having them drive long distance on a Saturday and then return for the hearing and suffer a serious infraction without the courtesy of calling them to prevent an unnecessary trip or yo fax or draft a letter of continuance is inexcusable. However someday we all have to. Let God be God! Steer clear. No thanks, We’ve seen enough fallacies, trickery. Can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Cordially,
