Mr. Romano with greed and negligence in his eyes has set out to essentially steal $80,000 in a commercial real estate transaction. Sounds petty that a guy would risk his lively hood for such a small dollar amount but that's who you will be dealing with if you proceed with his representation. The story in short is; there was and still is a mortgage contingency clause in purchase contract that should have clearly protected the buyer when the appraised value came in 45K short. This is an easy fixed 10/10 times with either a renegotiation of contract or a return of EM deposit. Instead, Mr. Romano failed to file the proper paperwork once the appraised value came in short and decided to "white out" documents and back date items. I have proof and will make these claims in court with my clients newly retained attorney. He then proceeded to bully the borrowers into accepting a higher offer on a commercial property or told them they risked loosing EM deposit. Both illegal and unethical from an attorney in NYS. About me - I'm a real estate banker for over 15 years, actually run my own lending institution - I can assure everyone reading this review my goal is to protect any future victims from his filth, the money is insignificant at this point. Do not use this man as an attorney, he has 0 interest in what is best for his clients
