Complaint Review: Kajko Weisman Colasanri and Stein

Kajko, Weissman is the classic "long on promises and short on delivery" type of attorney.  They can talk a very good game, but as soon as they are paid you will rarely see or hear from them again. 

As the saying goes 'Do not be fooled by the words, gestures and promises you encounter. Most important are the actions shown, for they tell the truth of a person.' Those words ring especially clear when dealing with Issac Borenstein. 

He is very expensive and justifies this with all of his "connections in the judicial system". Sounds good, but the problem is he has no influence over the court or any employees working there. He is very knowledgeable, but it is very difficult to get him to do anything with that knowledge. He still seems to be on a 'judges schedule', where everyone is still suppose to wait on him and maybe that's where he should have remained. But, as he explained to David Yas of the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly "that he likely would have continued his judicial career for a while but for the fact that his son Simon is a student at Carnegie-Mellon University ... which costs $52,000 a year, [and] put[s] public servants like Borenstein in the unfortunate and unenviable position of having to decide between providing for their childrens education and facing financial hardship...." [Published Jun 11 2008, Harvey Silverglate quoting Lawyers Weekly].  He likes expensive Cuban cigars and sailing.  

Attorney Borenstein admits he's in it for the money, but what you will find out shortly after paying him is that his heart and his will are not. 

If you decide to hire him, you will have to be sure to keep track of which firm he is working from. He has moved three times in as many years, leaving some clients told by the receptionist that he is no longer there.
