  Veteran Actual

  I won’t accuse—only provide facts. This attorney will promise you the world, especially if it involves attorney malpractice. In actuality it is a bait/switch. The reality is he only wants a retainer and likely depends on it and nothing more. Even if there is a contingency he will attach a lien to some obscure part hoping you will sign and forget about it. He assured, as others have stated, there was a proverbial slam-dunk attorney malpractice and believe me there was…he just completely tucked-tail. He actually witnessed two (2) attorneys not only lie repeatedly in Court but one also commit or possibly commit suborned perjury (attempted to coerce a witness he represented into committing perjury with false records). This attorney never called an opposing witness and literally stood and watched as a judge takes over $50K from his client without him objecting or saying a word. His client is a highly-decorated and severely disabled Combat Veteran. Post-hearing he blames the client for “misunderstanding” the offer he made for contingency which is completely made-up and even after seeing his own email stating this he ignores it. He sends a billing invoice claiming to have racked-up a bill twice the retainer amount with names of office staff you never heard of once. If this attorney witnessed/observes perjury or other attorney misconduct in Court as others have stated he has an ethical responsibility to report it to the State Bar and possibly to police as well depending on the severity—why would an attorney that supposedly specializes in this area of holding attorneys accountable not be suing them? I would encourage anyone to do a deep-dive into the number of business/LLCs/Shell Companies listed under multiple names, assumed names, etc. Most if not all attach to 265 S Culver that looks like a house in a residential neighborhood with no less than four (4) law firms and about 25-30 supposed companies…including MegaChurch and Jackalope Holdings. Wish I could make this up. There are certain games you should always avoid at the County Fair or street corner in NYC-you are never intended to win this hustle. ** Update—even before realizing we were going to be left waiting/hoping we still needed an attorney to appeal and actually thought I could convince this person to do what they contracted to do as an attorney and paid which was represent and then drop the hammer on some crooked attorneys. What we faced was an appeal for what he failed to fight for in Court. There was brief communication asking for a price to file an appeal—$3500 without hesitation from him. When the subject was brought up about the opposing attorneys lying in Court (all transcribed) was told “that is beyond a civil matter.” Really? This is all the more reason you should be suing them like you advertised and agreed to. The appeal we filed for ZERO dollars was the Superior Court judge recognizing criminal actions meaning this attorney, again, never had any intention of suing anyone despite how egregious the other side’s behavior was and remains and then states “he wants to part ways and focus on other things.” Tread Carefully, there are snakes everywhere,

  Believe the negative reviews about Atty. Ney they are all probably true as many of them mirror my experience with him. He took me for 1000$ fee on a case that was "clear malpractice" his words.... then he bailed on us when opposing atty fought back ...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! This guy is a fraud !

  Please take a moment to review other complaints about him online. We engaged Mr. Ney to handle a conflict of interest case. Through email, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings, he assured us that our former attorney was not entitled to any money. After providing him with $1000.00 for a case study, he returned confirming his acceptance of our case and reiterated that our ex-attorney had no claim to funds. Consequently, we ceased negotiations on a $25000 settlement with the ex-attorney. Upon receiving the remaining flat fee of $7000.00, he stopped communication. we went to his office he did not show uo. Despite assurances of a jury trial and the use of expert witnesses, none materialized – these promises proved false. Furthermore, he neglected to inform us of the hearing date, attending alone, resulting in the case being lost. As a consequence, we now find ourselves obligated to pay the ex-attorney $57000.00. Once he gets the money he is gone. I filed a complaint with Bar hoping they discipline him, then I will sue him.

  I was very fortunate to find Jacob, who has been true to his word and very professional during a difficult time for me. I recommend him to my colleagues.
