Gave me a lawyer who worked for company sued

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cellini Barnes gave me an attorney who used to work for the insurance company I sued. Told me not to submit medical claims to the car insurance company but to my medical which I can do Arbitration later.

When I tried to arbitrate after the fact I was denied because it had to be presented to the car insurance first. When I called Mr Cellini was very rude and did not accept responsibility for his attorney actions stating it was my fault for picking a lousy insurance company

Bad experience

took paperwork per lawyer to their office, Within 2 days the paperwork was returned by mail to me with dismissal letter. There is absolutely no way someone could read 1200+ pages and make a decision in that time frame.

No consideration or face to face meeting. Truly unprofessional.

They didn't care or put any time in before rejecting my case

Called Alex Greco-Roman about malpractice suit. Drove 40 minutes to deliver paperwork he asked for.

Didn't want to meet me personally, mailed back my papers in one day with stock rejection letter.

Didn't want to see my issues, listen to my story or see the grief this injury is causing my wife and me. Uncaring and in my opinion VERY unprofessional!runR

Company Is Gone And So Are Owners

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cellino left, and so has Barnes. Anything with their names on it are a shell of themselves and not the same company.

View full review
Pros:
  • Those annoying ads are finally gone
Cons:
  • Use other companies in the industry
  • Cellino is gone
  • Barnes is gone

Preferred solution: Company with Barnes name in it should make it clear he is not part of the company

User's recommendation: Go to another legal firm without the name Cellini or Barnes in it

Didn't receive proper justice for my brother

2017 was the worse for my life we almost lost my brother to a driver that was speeding on wet roads. He sustained a broken neck, fractures to his skull, a dislocated dominant arm in which he can no longer use because it is disabled it can never be fixed, a broken leg in which he has steel inside for the rest of his life, road rashes about his body, and he had surgery and skin grafts done.

The branch we worked with assured us that we had a good case and for two years we believed that. When all was said and done what we received was nothing to what my brother deserves. The lawyer even took a part out of what little he got which to my knowing we didn't win the case. Where is the justice in that the young lady is living her best life I am sure working and taking care of her loved ones while my brother 26 years old now has to depend on us.

He is now fighting with a disability lawyer just to get some type of assistance we keep getting deny. We still receive medical bills who's going to pay for those now what my brother got didn't even get him through 2019 because he has a 4-years old whom our mother is taking care if she even lost her job to come take care of him for a bit.

His girlfriend is the sole provider for him his first pay out the lawyer took every penny and the second one we got little from it. I will keep sharing my story and posting it everywhere my brother needs justice his whole life has changed he was planing and working on joining the army he can no longer do that.

The worst. I am with the now for 6 1/2/ years now, and they still can't get the case settled.

Something is strange here. To make it worse, I am dying of metastasized prostate cancer and don't have that much longer to live.

I can only hope that one of these wretches develops this cancer and terrible, awful pain in the future. They will want to leave the earth quickly.

When the clients in the ads say how much money the got from their case, there is nothing said as to whether the money that they received was before or after their fee was paid.

Do it yourself Attorney

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cellino Barnes just stole my injury claim I just called the insurance company and they told me that Ross Cellino got the check for $150,000.00 and I went to ask Steve Barnes who also lied. They both spent two years in Jail for stealing no way can you trust anyone of these Attorneys.

If you cant settle your own injury claim and it's real easy then dont complain a Lawyers rip you off because we will just laugh at you.

Car Accident Claims And Lawsuit Claims and Law Practice is the easiest thing in the world. You just have to know on how to read and write

They are not a legitimate company imo. I also think they broke up and that is why Ross Cellini is sending out messages on his own without Barnes who could be the worst of the two.

If that is so, why pay the Cellino and Barnes price when all you are getting is Barnes who might be mediocre or worse? What's with those terrible old ads. No mention of the virus or caring about you as a person and not just a revenue target? How about they offer a scholarship or money for BLM?

Something to show they care and are not just your legal vulture. I would avoid them.

They are legends in their own minds. Ignore them and maybe they will finally go away.

Hacks. What's with those terrible ads?

Get their faces out of 'em and off everything. Ew, gross!

Lawyers laughed, when they harassed, and Rip their Clients Off out of Big Cash. Then their Clients took the final laugh, and sent The IRS Agents after their Lawyers, and The IRS Police through the Criminalized Lawyers in Jailed Mental Institutions.

Created Bail Reform.

Dont reccomend

Cellino and Barnes the woman on tv looks like she seen better days and she was the one who answered the phone I could tell because of her voice, and she hung up three times. When someone finally answered I told the lady that I was struck by a car.

She them replies with this Phony Symphony and Says, Oh really, oh my God are you alright, duh do you need a psychitrist.

I then told her the only psychiatrist I need is her talking to one in a Psych Ward

How stupid there are.

What's seeing s shrink got to do with getting struck by a car....

Their all really stupid and ignorant. Nobody in their right mind likes Attorneys anyway.

Their stupid college people with 4 year degrees who cost tax payers millions they were sending everyone to psychiatrist on civil cases and non violent to them

We all brought it to the IRS's attention because it was about the lawyers and district attotneys gaining money by committing perjury in civil law cases, and extortion in minor criminal cases.

IRS pays medicaid that these psychiatrist pay for.

Everyone found out about their scams, and cops cooperating with lawyers breaking private act laws because lawyers can't discuss cases, clients can...Unless it's a serious Class A Felony Crimes...

These younger people most of them up to 35 and older to 60 are really gone.

Stay away from these people learn on how to handle your own case.

I did and received $25,000.00 a month later from the insurance company.

Get Their Faces Off The Air, Too Much Ego

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am disgusted at the amount of times they advertise and put their faces in the ads. Who wants to see that?

They also have some woman who looks like she has seen better days doing the ads, not convincing or enticing. These guys are not good at all and should be off the air by now. If people do not know who they are after all their ads then they never will and Cellino and Barnes are just wasting their time and money unless they are legends in their own minds and think that they get more business with more ads. They probably get less because they turn off their viewers who then turn them off.

I certainly do that and as soon I see their ads or faces it's bye-bye to any other channel or station.

Cellino and Barnes, get out of here! Don't go away mad, just go away.

If They Have To Advertise So Mush Business Cannot Be Good

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I thought these clowns were done when Cellini left the company but they must have bought the 10,0000 ads package so they keep their goofy faces on everything. Incredible egos, who wants to even look at those faces???

Would not go to them at all because they seem desperate with all their ads. If business was good they would not have to do this. They also want to know how much you make a year before they would consider handling your case. Very disgusting.

They should not be allowed to operate any longer especially if Cellino is no longer a partner and they are still trying to make it like he is (Barnes might be the weaker of the two, which is why Cellino left).

Their ads should be limited. Don't even watch them, they suck anyway.

They Do Not Understand How To Advertise

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Too many ads are worse than too few. People tune out.

They get annoyed by them. If people do not get the message after a couple of times they are not interested. Additional money spent on the ads is then wasted. Their ad agency must be raking it in and realizes that these guys are buffoons.

They probably have them believing that the more you advertise the better it is.

Not. Only a fool believes that.

Their Ads Are Terrible And Service Is Even Worse

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Egotists who love seeing themselves plastered everywhere which is not the proper way to do business. Unattractive actresses when it's not them in the ads shows more bad judgment.

As soon as I see or hear one of their ads I immediately turn it off.

I hope that I am not counted as a viewer because I surely am not and want nothing to do with this company. They might be paying for ads that people are turning off immediately and thinking their ads are working, ha.

Keep away from this company.

Would not recommend to anyone. Besides, Cellino has left the company last I heard so you are only getting the lesser half of what's still there.

My lawyer screwed me around for five years--and I didn't see anything happen. Arrogant, stupid, self-satisfied.

He just recently left the company -and I'm still waiting for my case to be settled five years later. I would mention his name--but I won't, for the time being.
