Stay Away from A. Paul Spinella
Once Spinella took my money, he never bothered to contact me regarding the case. It soon became apparent I was a bother to him. When he did bother to return my calls he was always complaining about one ailment or another. Not only did he not know or prepare for the case, he totally blew the argument at the summary judgment meeting, and the judge threw the case out because his arguments were so poorly formed. He was given proper evidence to get to trial (because we provided it for him), but he never bothered to analyze it for argument. In essence, all he did was take a large retainer and then did little or nothing to argue the case. In fact, his understudy who he had write the brief in opposition to summary judgment made an excellent argument, but Spinella never bothered to read it, as was apparent in his oral arguments to the judge. HE SOUNDED COMPLETELY UNINFORMED AND UNPREPARED IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE WITH HIS ORAL ARGUMENT. When the judge asked him questions that we had strong answers to, he completely floundered with weak and poorly thought out answers. I found myself embarrassed to be represented by him at the meeting.
