Attorney Chevone T. Toscano, who knows only English, induced a Spanish-speaking person with limited English proficiency into signing a contract for representation, perhaps not making certain that the client understood its terms before signing it.

Routinely, attorney Chevone T. Toscano has refused her client's requests that she get crucial case documents, and her written and telephonic communications to the client translated and/or interpreted.

It is difficult to understand how attorney Chevone T. Toscano could provide competent and zealous representation to a client where a significant language barrier exists between her and the client and she does not bridge the language gap by engaging translation professionals.

At one point, attorney Chevone T. Toscano alleged to the client that the client had signed a binding agreement in the case. The client has no recall of having signed the agreement Toscano alleges the client signed. Indeed, the client states that signing such an agreement would be out of the question. The client states that if attorney Chevone T. Toscano did in fact induce the client into signing the alleged binding agreement, that could only have happened if she told the client that the English-language document said something other than what it actually says.

In view of that situation, the client requested that attorney Chevone T. Toscano promptly send to the client all copies of all documents that the client has signed in the case.

Attorney Chevone T. Toscano ignored that request from the client. The client subsequently signed a Power of Attorney so that a bi-lingual person, now his Agent, could communicate with attorney Chevone T. Toscano about the case.

The Agent sent attorney Chevone T. Toscano an explanation of why it was urgently important for her client to receive copies of all documents that the client has signed in the case. The Agent explained to attorney Chevone T. Toscano that the client urgently needed the requested documents so that they could be translated into Spanish so that the client could have an informed understanding of what the client has signed.

Attorney Chevone T. Toscano to date has ignored the document requests, though they have been sent to her via both e-mail and facsimile.

Additionally, after attorney Chevone T. Toscano working on the case requested records from one of the client's health care providers, the health care providers afterwards are said to have informed attorney Chevone T. Toscano's client that attorney Chevone T. Toscano was rude to them.

Avoid This Horrible Attorney Chevone T. Toscano

AUTHOR: Scott rose - ()

POSTED: Friday, December 20, 2013

Attorney Chevone T. Toscano alleged to her client that the client had signed a certain contract which, had the client properly understood the alleged contract, the client says never would have been signed.

Attorney Chevone T. Toscano attempted to bully the client into doing something the client did not want to do, on the basis of the contract that Toscano alleges that the client signed.

Towards attempting to gain some clarity in the matter, Toscano's client repeatedly requested copies of all documents that the client had signed in the case.

A client would seem to have a right to that documentation.

The client sent, and/or had sent e-mails, faxes and letters to Chevone T. Toscano, asking that she send copies of all documents the client signed in the case. Although Toscano sometimes replied via e-mail saying something, she never addressed her client's request for copies of all documents the client signed.

Nonetheless, attorney Chevone T. Toscano filed a court document saying "(client's name) fails to communicate with me despite my numerous messages."

Readers should be clear about this absolutely lousy and shameless thing that the attorney Chevone T. Toscano did against the client.

Despite the fact that the client sent e-mails, faxes and letters to Toscano, requesting copies of all documents the client signed in the case, and despite the fact that Toscano did not honor the client's repeated requests, Toscano turned around and told the court that the client "fails to communicate with me despite my numerous messages."

Members of the public should know that Toscano did that, and ask themselves "Is Chevone T. Toscano really the type of attorney that I would want to hire? Do I really need this level of lack of cooperation and basic decency, and this apparent outright lying about me, in court documents no less, from an attorney who is supposed to be on my side in a civil law suit?

Because attorney Chevone T. Toscano to this date still has not sent the (now former) client copies of all documents the client signed in the case, the client is in the dark about what the client may or may not have signed. The conditions of an alleged contract with which Toscano attempted to bully the client into doing something the client did not want to do may or may not be real conditions, and the contract that Toscano alleges that the client signed may or may not exist.

How is the client supposed to know whether the alleged contract exists, and if it does, what it says, if the rotten attorney Chevone T. Toscano refuses to acknowledge and to act on the client's requests for copies of all documents the client signed in the case prior to firing the miserable attorney Chevone T. Toscano?

The underlying civil case is against three defendants, one of them convicted, in criminal court, of assaulting the plaintiff.  Another of the defendants in the civil case, a doctor, filed a motion to dismiss.  The judge's decison granting the doctor's motion to dismiss includes this phrase: "the negligence claims are dismissed pursuant to CPLR 32 1 1 (a) (7) because the factual allegations in the pleadings fail to “manifest any cause of action cognizable at law.”"

It must be noted that attorney Chevone T. Toscano did not notify her client that the doctor's motion to dismiss had been granted. Rather, a third party happened to learn of the dismissal by looking at public court information and then asked the client "Did you know that the judge granted the doctor's motion to dismiss?"  The client then wrote to attorney Chevone T. Toscano, who replied with words to the effect of "Oh well."

Now, if there absolutely was no "cause of action cognizable at law" for this one out of the three defendants, then why did attorney Chevone T. Toscano include this defendant among the three defendants?  If it was not possible to sue this defendant and have satisfication from suing them, then was attorney Chevone T. Toscano not wasting the client's time?  And looking at the question from a different angle, might it be the case that there was in fact a cause of action cognizable at law, and thus that the doctor could have been successfully sued by a competent attorney, but the terrible attorney Chevone T. Toscano failed to argue the case correctly on the Plaintiff's behalf?  

 However that may be, it is a fact that attorney Chevone T. Toscano lost the case against one of the three defendants.  If the plaintiff had, or still has any possibility of appealing the decision to grant the motion to dismiss, the client never heard about any such possibility from attorney Chevone T. Toscano.

When it comes to looking for an attorney, the phrase "Caveat emptor," "Let the buyer beware," would certainly seem to apply as regards the services of attorney Chevone T. Toscano.

Attorney Chevone Toscano Still Abusing Client

AUTHOR: Scott rose - ()

POSTED: Monday, November 18, 2013

As originally reported in this RipOffReport against the horrid and rude attorney Chevone T. Toscano, Toscano -- who speaks only English -- appears to have had a limited English proficiency client sign documents without getting them translated for the client and without making sure that the client understood what the documents say.

On the basis of documents that attorney Chevone Toscano alleges the client signed, she has been issuing nasty threats against the client. However, the client is unsure whether he ever signed the documents that attorney Chevone Toscano claims the client signed.

Therefore, the client repeatedly asked the terrible attorney Chevone Toscano for copies of all documents the client has signed in the case. The client must have the complete record of signed documents from Chevone Tosano, in order to get the documents translated and then to gain an informed understanding of everything signed in the case.

Toscano has ignored those document requests.

Who knows whether Toscano might not be lying about the allegedly signed documents, in order to pressure this client into doing something the client does not want to do?

The client signed a Power of Attorney, the client's Agent then wrote to Toscano, repeatedly requesting copies of all signed documents, but attorney Chevone Toscano also is ignoring those document requests.

Chevone Toscano's client has every right to the requested documents.

On Monday, November 18, 2013, this follow-up message was sent to attorney Chevone Toscano:

To Chevone T. Toscano, Esq.:

Because of your refusal to acknowledge your client's justifiable document requests, a COMPLAINT against you has been published on www.RipOffReport.com

As previously stated, you as an English-only-speaking attorney appear to have perhaps had this client of limited English proficiency sign documents without an informed understanding of what they say, as you consistently have refused to have crucial case documents, and your letters to the client, professionally translated, or translated at all.

Your bad behavior -- including your implied threats against your client -- have set up a situation where the client absolutely must have the complete record of documents that the client has signed in the case.

To clarify this; you have created a situation where your client is not certain of what he has signed for and/or with you in the case, you then have exploited the client's uncertainty to make implied threats against the client, and then you have not even done your client the courtesy of responding to requests for documents which the client has every right to request from you.

There is considerable doubt as to whether you are a trustworthy attorney.

Do you intend to furnish your client with copies of all documents that the client has signed in the case?
