Molfetta Law, Michael Alessandro Molfetta Molfetta Law LLC, Michael Molfetta Law, Cocaine addict attorney Molfetta is a liar, cocaine addict, sleezeball. Threatened me after I requested my refund following him withdrawing himself from my case for no reason. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY, he Costa Mesa CA
The first time I went with my wife to meet this attorney, he demanded $50,000 and promised he would get a mis trial. He stated he felt 90% he would get the case thrown out of court. We settled on a $25,000 total retainer including any trial fees, and although I was reluctant to hire him, I did because he sold himself well and pretended to be a big shot.
He was very unusual and screamed at me in the office in front of my wife and his assistants every time I met with him for simply asking questions. He used curse words and was loud and unprofessional. He made it clear he that he represented the worst of the worst type of liars, and murderers and he did not care about the truth. He was very egotistic, and me simply asking a question about my case or making a suggestion would get him to explode and he kicked me out of his office once for just saying something.
For my first appearance Molfetta said he would appear on my behalf for my arraignment, but I learned last minute that he had an associate attorney appear instead of him so that was another red flag. Every time I would follow up on my case, Molfetta would never reply for days and would never give me a straight answer and get agitated quickly for me just calling him. The person who referred me to him later came clean to admitting that Molfetta has serious cocaine and alcohol problem.
On the big day in court, my preliminary hearing, this scum bag of an attorney did not show up to court and appeared on a telephone in court. To my complete shock and surprise, he told the judge he would no longer represent me. I was very upset and in complete awe. I called him to ask him why he would do such a thing and he gave me no reason, and said he would refund me partial. I demanded I get my full refund and he began threating me, violating his attorney oath of attorney client privilege. He then accused me of threatening him and said if I ever contacted him he would file a restraining order against me and contact the court, judge and my employers.
The guy is sick in the head, he is a thief and a druggie with a license to practice law. I am glad I got to speak my mind to him, I told him he is a disgrace, and that he is shameful and that I had lost all respect for him. He resorted to immature name calling and calling me a pathological liar, which is clearly what he is. He is going to try and keep my money when he did no work to earn it, and it really upsets me. I will take legal action and have filed complaints already with the State Bar and BBB.
I hope that me sharing my story will warn others, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Michael Molfetta, Molfetta Law or anyone that work with this guy or his law firm.

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamond Resorts®, a global leader in the hospitality, vacation ownership and entertainment industries, has filed a lawsuit against a ring of so-called timeshare "exit" companies for allegations of fraudulent business practices and false advertising. The 13 defendants are based in Florida and Nevada and include Timeshare Freedom Group, Jordan Salkin, Shayna Schroeder, John E. Mortimer, Frank Silva, Harold O. Miller, Michael A. Molfetta and William Saliba. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants use false and misleading advertising to convince timeshare owners to stop making payments on their timeshare contracts, while charging the unsuspecting victims thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars in upfront fees in exchange for no legitimate service.
The Diamond Resorts complaint outlines how these Defendants falsely present their timeshare exit services as a "legal" solution. This lie is supported by the use of lawyers and "law firms" to inaccurately suggest the active involvement of a licensed attorney.
However, according to the lawsuit, the "exit" services offered by these companies amount to nothing more than instructing timeshare owners to cease making payments. These companies do not deliver on their promises to help timeshare owners out of their contracts, but instead charge thousands of dollars to drive owners into financial jeopardy and foreclosure, according to the lawsuit.
An Elaborate Ring Designed to Deceive
Diamond Resorts is warning its owners not only about the illusory services offered by these companies, but also about the deceptive way in which they collaborate to mislead and profit off of timeshare owners. According to the lawsuit, the timeshare cancellation ring operates as follows:
Diamond Resorts reminds its owners that Attorneys General are also warning consumers and working to stop the deceptive acts of these so-called timeshare "exit" companies. In addition to Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson's lawsuit against Timeshare Exit Team, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has filed a lawsuit against Brian Scroggs and the following timeshare exit companies under his control: Vacation Consulting Services LLC, VCS Communications, LLC, The Transfer Group, LLC, and Real Travel LLC, as well as a lawsuit against Martin Management. In 2019, Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Brian Scroggs, Bart Bowe and their company Real Travel LLC for violations of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Numerous other agencies have also warned consumers about timeshare cancellation companies, including the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Diamond Resorts encourages timeshare owners who may be interested in adjusting their contracts to contact their developer for options. To learn more about red flags and report possible fraudulent third-party exit activity, visit TimeshareCancellationAwareness.com or ResponsibleExit.com.
