Complaint Review: Anthony E. Pellino

This year, I've unfortunately had some bad luck regarding getting money to me. It is a very personal and issue close to my heart. At the recommendation of a friend and not a lot of money to work with, I decided to contact a local collections agency to help to recover my debt.

Anthony E. Pellino was very eager to help me with this issue, and seemed very interested in the case. He offered to take on my case, and planned to use a lawyer on contingency basis after he told me that the debtor wasn't budging. He told me to get the process started in court, I'd need to pay a fee of $800. I happily obliged, though the fee broke the bank. It was so important to get this started and finished as quickly as possible.

Though I did attempt to google Anthony, nothing incriminating came up. He seemed to know a lot about the law, and I saw no red flags. After I transferred the money to him, I found it impossible to get in touch with Anthony. His receptionist would give me excuses every time I called as to why he wasn't able to speak. With a quick search on public records, I can see that nothing has been done with this case. At this point, I'm not even sure he contacted the debtor in the first place. I did another internet search today, and the site www.anthonyepellino.com was the first to come up. It seems this has become a fairly common practice for Mr. Pellino.
