Mr. Tatone came highly recommended to us by an attorney who did not specialize in our situation. He handled our problems with our mother's estate that was contested by a terrible family member. John was always responsive, reassuring and effective in presenting our cases. His expertise, experience and execution provided the just outcome we sought. This was a very emotional and upsetting set of circumstances and I can't imagine going through something like this without the exceptional skills John and his staff provided. Thanks to John the issues totally resolved and were able to move on in peace! More...

I agree with Zachary's experience. I'm sure Mr Tatone will ATTEMPT to place the blame on me, just like he tried to place the blame on Zachary's deceased mother, too. Mr Tatone was hired as the attorney for the HOA where I lived. He represented the board in their attempt to sue me for things I did not do while performing as a board member for pretty much free. The case was dismissed in the end. While trying to sell my house during this (because his clients harassed me so badly my doctor's said I needed to move or they'd stop treating me; the harassment was counterproductive to my treatment), Tatone REFUSED to give me a payoff letter, claiming I owed money for legal fees (HE WAS BILLING ME FOR SUING ME! That's absurd in itself but he was doing so without obtaining a judgment). The bylaws say residents are billed legal fees for COLLECTIONS, but I was NEVER behind on my dues. No matter how many times I tried to tell him this, he tried to tell ME I was the one who was wrong. He claimed to know association law, but didn't, because he didn't even read the bylaws, & had no idea the complex was governed by the nonprofit Corp act! Plus, I'm on disability & he couldn't get a judgment against me if he won because he couldn't attach disability income, or my main home. He said "if you think that's true, sign an agreement then!" I'm not a big enough fool to do something that will make him look or feel like he won. The judge CONFIRMED what I said & he kind of mumbled that he told his clients that. Hmmm? Then why did they keep wasting the associations funds?There were 3 things he was claiming in the lawsuit & REPRESENTING MYSELF I was able to get 2 of them DISMISSED and was filing to dismiss the 3rd, which the judge had ALREADY said she'd never order (something absurd like not allowing me to speak to my neighbors about the board, but judge said since they're elected we have to discuss them, I believe). In the end, he didn't give me the letter so I could sell my house until the VERY LAST DAY my buyer could be out of hers before she had to pay another month rent & reschedule the movers (so she was worried she'd be homeless with her little boy & I thought I'D have to pay HER daily rent). And the lawsuit was dismissed - but I'm sure he made a ton of money from the association! Another woman who inherited her mom's place when she passed away had NO IDEA she had to pay assoc dues & got behind. She is on disability also & doesn't even drive because she can't afford car insurance. Tatone sent her a letter saying she had to pay it ALL AT ONCE. She asked to make payment arrangements. He refused & threatened to take her home. Later he offered arrangements she could in NO WAY afford & told her to sell her furniture to raise the money and eat Mac & Cheese on the floor until it was paid off. And yes, Zachary, he's called me names & been very crude. He also tried to blackmail me, knowing I needed the letter for my house - he said I could sign a settlement agreement that day, or we could go to court, thinking he'd force me. Once I mentioned blackmail, I got the letter.He also called my closing company & told my closer that he needed a copy of my closing statement - which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL or at LEAST UNETHICAL! He had that woman in tears because she thought she was going to be fired once my real estate agent called her boss yelling. He did that so he could see HOW MUCH I WAS GETTING BACK AT CLOSING! That was none of his business!Don't hire him! He's a backstabber, and he'll SAY he's familiar with the type of law you need and then use you as a guinea pig! He's a collection attorney (but, he told one of the treasurer's she could collect from someone filling bankruptcy, sooo...)The guy is a greasy, slimy snake & the type of lawyer that gives all lawyers a bad name! I don't know how he sleeps at night. Now watch... He'll respond &p blame it all on me just like he did on Zachary's deceased mom for "not planning her estate properly" & any other negative reviews. He won't admit when he's wrong. I PROVED it & he refused. More...

It was a total learning experience under the circumstances of the loss of a parent, and all that encompassed taking care of their last wishes/details, having and understanding a living trust or will, setting up an estate, and the legal/personal issues that effect the families on moving forward and settling the estate for the good of all involved, and John was able to go into detail and clarify EVERYTHING that was important to the family members and how we should approach those issues, what we should be looking for, and how to make it a smooth transition! He went far and above to make sure we understood everything! John and his staff was always easy to get a hold of, they returned calls in a timely manner, and when not in court, always had the time to talk to us and make us feel like he had our interest at heart! Much appreciated! Lastly, even though certain topics were hard to discuss and/or accept, I always appreciated John’s blunt honesty, which helped me many times over to move ahead in a positive direction! Thank you John!Brian Hood More...

Never in my life have I met a more condescending person, or one with such little regard for ethics. When my dad passed away after a battle with cancer, we met with Mr. Tatone and hired him based on a positive first meeting where he promised a smooth process and a low, one-time retainer. Over the following 18 months, he has charged us thousands of dollars more. A large part of that is his refusal to answer basic questions via email, and then in turn billing for each email he had to read and respond to as time and time again we tried to seek very simple answers he refused to answer off the bat. He has also been extremely disrespectful to me and my grieving family. He has called me names and on countless occasions accused my mother of negligence. He showed no compassion as during our time as clients, our lives all were flipped upside down. For someone who is a probate attorney, he seemed shocked and even flippant when we tried to explain to him that we are all moving, starting new jobs and uprooting our lives because our family’s provider died and that it was sometimes difficult to do the many, many tasks required in this process. He implied many times that our situation was unique in this regard, which I find very hard to believe. Lastly, this man is a liar who attempted to manipulate us many times. He promised that after billing us thousands of dollars over the retainer, that he would bill no more. Then when he did, I had him provide notice in writing that we would place a spending cap on expenses related to closing the estate. He said anything over the cap, he would eat the cost. THEN he had the nerve to ask us for a check to cover court fees when up until that point, he had always covered the court fees and billed us for them later. Do not hire this man. He is a snake and has made our lives a living hell. More...
