Robert J. Feldman Incompetent, Insane, and Unethical Criminal Defense Lawyer Stealing Client Funds New York, New York

This venal madman exploits vulnerable persons who find themselves under the heel of the criminal justice system in New York City. He will demand full payment for legal fees and appeal ("if needed") up front, usually over $30,000--and then refuse to refund you even one dollar, regardless of how little work he does and how poorly he does it. In my case, I was forced to proofread my own motion and prepare my own subpoenas, because Feldman was too lazy and incompetent to do them himself. When I realized that for legal reasons, he was not even qualified to represent me in the first place, and had to fire him as a result, he refused to refund even one dollar of the $30,000 I paid him--all the money my family had.

Computer-illiterate, he relies on an ancient laptop so choked with pornography as to be useless. (I had to pay to rent a computer at Kinko's on the day my motion was due.)

Beware this predator at all costs! You are better off with no lawyer at all.
