Complaint Review: Sean Sabeti

After I read Mr. Sabeti answer regarding to my complaint to NY State Bar I am very worried. He is a pathological liar. I am very worried of my children and I safety. I have all the answers to all his lies and I will response back to the NY state Bar shortly.

My family and I am victim of domestic violence and I don't want Mr. Sabeti to share any information about me or family to anybody. I would take that seriously if someone put my family's life in danger.

Just recently I met someone who knows Mr. Sabeti from the past. She is from Iran as well. She said that I am lucky, I don't have him as my attorney and Mr. Sabeti did unnecessarily work to make the case complicated to get more money so, eventually she had to fire Mr. Sabeti and hire another attorney. I told her about this website and how put her comments.

After things with Mr. Sabeti, I consulted 3 other attorneys specialize in that area to make sure I am in good hands, all of them said the same thing. My attorneys are doing well. Nothing like Mr. Sabeti said. He rapidly said I don't know why Iranians get American attorneys they have to come to me, I am Iranian

As I said He thinks a person like me is stupid and he can make advantage of it. He knows I have 2 houses and . and that's why he want to scare me ( I put a lean in your home if you don't give me that much money) the 2 of my attorneys have over 25 years of in that areas and they don't rip people off.

NOW I know he is a bankruptcy lawyer, that's now what he told me he was. My cases are not about Bankruptcy. ED also give you the option to use different name. that's maybe OK

New York Disciplinary Rule 4-101(C)(4) allows a New York attorney to reveal confidences of a client for the purpose of defending himself against accusations of wrongful conduct.

But I and my fellow readers must understand that invoking such rules can be very troublesome, so Mr. Sabeti's refusal to tell his side of the story in specific terms is quite reasonable.

However, the disclosure of confidential information would not be required to generally refute the specific accusations presented by the reporter. Ethical rules do not prevent Mr. Sabeti from stating that he does not use interpreters as referral services, nor do they prevent him from specifically denying that he is engaged in the solicitation of individuals who are already represented.

Blanket statements declaring that ALL of the reporter's comments have no basis in law or in fact wouldn't cut it in any kind of memorandum or brief, nor will they suffice in this forum. However, I do urge my fellow readers to understand the ethical limitations placed on Mr. Sabeti per client confidences.

I have to agree with Mr. Sabeti on one point: it does appear that the reporter is using multiple identities to make it appear as though there are more complainants than there actually are. But we could be entirely wrong on that point. Only Ed knows for sure.

I don't have to repeat, you know my family has involved with DV Situation. my info is confidential in this website or anywhere. Unless you ??.. but the Courts and NY state Bar has my complaint and my info
when you see """"Update Submitted by the original author""" that's me.

it is first time
You are talking about false accusation? You know it is NOT. When did you learn about (Client's Confidence and Secrets) since I told you that I know you validated my privacy?

I have been in the US for about 10 years and lived in 2 different states, I have worked with 8 attorneys in different matters (immigration, divorce, civil, real estate, criminal,) I have never seen attorney like you. I always maintained a good relationship with my attorneys.

Your problem is you think a person like me is stupid and you are the smartest. I trusted my attorneys always and I trust Mr. Levin so much that I referred him to someone last week for a big civil case. I will refer him to everybody. He doesn't need to fool people to get clients or beg for clients. He gets them by good work and reasonable fees. What's why, he is always busy. He is a nice man.

Do you remember when I came to your office you were trying to trick me by telling me type me name in Google search and see I am very very famous I didn't see much websites about you (most yellow pages) I was very confused I thought I am not spelling your right, I even called you and told you. NOW by searching your name this website comes.

At least I can help some people. I think you lose more than the money you think I owe you. Again you know you did wrong but you don't want to admit. You need to apologize to me.

He does just about anything it takes to get clients

Dear Editor:

Unfortunately, I am unable to respond to the above false allegations and defend my name and integrity, as I am bound by Canon 4 of the Rules of Professional Responsibility of the State of New York (Client's Confidence and Secrets). However, I can assure you that the specious allegations are without merit in law or facts.

Please note that the complaint is filed by one person using various and fictitious names just to give the appearance of multiple complaints.

Therefore, I ask you to please immediately remove this bogus and vindictive complaint from the website. It is damaging my good name and practice.

Sean Sabeti,
Attorney-at-Law
Jericho, New York
August 10, 2006

try to convince you to change your attorney? He is not professional at all.

I had a similar experience with Mr. Sabeti

Thank you Mr. Timothy - Valparaiso, from Indiana. I was surprise of the quick response from the court and NY State Bar. The court interpreter who works for Mr. Sabeti is under investigation. Sabeti should know about the attorney-client privilege. I reported him to New York State Bar Associate and I am working on it.

I am shucked of his behavior, he does not only talk about my privet conversation with him to bunch of people (he knows who) he also wrote a letter about my privet conversation with him to my attorney. I know Attorney-Client privilege even extends beyond the death of a client. My attorney was very surprised when he received the letter. He also charged me $450 for the letter!

Now I have more evidence about the attorney-client privilege Sabeti should apologize to me about his behavior. Than I will stop follow up on my complaint.

By the way, The Comment was to long to read (This remind me some of Sabeti words .. or similar to the letter he wrote to my attorney Mr. Levin!!? ) how much are you going to charge me for the Comment Modified 8/8/2006 12:54:35 AM? How much $400 or $500 or ..

The problem is that, even if we isolate only the stuff from the original report that may seem rather benign, we are left with some serious ethical violations.

For example, the original poster probably was/is not aware that it is entirely unacceptable, per the rules of professional conduct that govern lawyers, for an attorney to solicit a client who is already represented in the matter by another attorney.

And that's just one of a couple (or few) ethical violations I recognize from the report, but which a layman would probably fail to identify.

You are certainly right that there are two sides to every story, and the RipOffReport's greatest infirmity is that we usually only get one. Thus, I'm glad that you decided to come to his defense, because he has decided not to do so for himself. But isn't that a bit telling in and of itself?

I came across this site as I was looking for Mr. Sabeti's telephone number. I know that there are always two sides to a story. Sean Sabeti has represented me in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. He handled a traffic violation for my child and for me. He has acted on behalf of my child in Criminal Court. I experienced a very difficult time with my children at the same time I was dealing with the bankruptcy. My health had become compromised at that time. The stress level was unbelievable. I was heartbroken by the immature actions of my child. Moved by compassion, he volunteered his services as a Mediator in Family Court. He attempted to establish a line of communication between my child and me. He took it upon himself to take my child ?under his wing.? giving advice as a father would do to his own. A headstrong child does not always heed good advice. He treated me with understanding during those very difficult times. He stepped in more than once to do what he could to ease the situation. Mr. Sabeti had also experienced an injury leading to surgery about that time. Enduring his own pain, he made sure that I was represented. In the courtroom, Mr. Sabeti is ALLWAYS debonair. As my counsel in Bankruptcy Court, he has been accommodating towards reconciliation. In contrast to his professional manner, the opposing attorney was and continues to be on other cases, the most antagonistic, malevolent, base individual that most other attorneys have ever had to deal with. He made a personal attack upon Mr. Sabeti's character. He attempted to create a smokescreen to hide his deceptive intent. Sean Sabeti remained disciplined almost to a fault during those attacks. That other attorney and his client perjured themselves before the Court in that Bankruptcy. The documentation is available. That attorney flustered the Judge so much by his impudence on two separate occasions that she made an error in her ruling. It embarrassed her and created complications for me. Mr. Sabeti worked for many hours. He has always been upfront in respect to the probable cost of any motions that he would make in my behalf or that of my family. He made financial agreements with my child that I believe were not honored by a seventeen year old. He is still willing to work with that child sans proper compensation. He remains compassionate and understanding with that one. As a single parent, a woman, and of Hispanic decent, I am a minority. My children are biracial, African American and Caucasian. I have rubbed shoulders with predacious people that would seize any opportunity to capitalize on an individual they perceive as vulnerable. We have been treated most professionally by Sean Sabeti. Never have I heard or felt a disparaging remark or attitude come from him. I have been present in his office when his child has telephoned him with the age appropriate concerns of a young individual. He was lovingly reassuring. He is a family man. He is self employed. I have worked as a health care professional for many years and have been self employed in this same capacity. Very often you put time into your work for which you will not be compensated. Still, you have a right to be compensated. I would recommend Mr. Sean Sabeti to anyone who expects representation by a polished attorney that has a conscience.

Thank you for your adivce Mr Valparaiso I have two cases in two different courts. so there are two judges Can you help my for how I can file a complaint to NY state Bar and letters to the judges? I will pay the fee if you would.... I know how to contact you.
thank you again

You need to immediately file a complaint with the New York State Bar. I would also suggest writing a letter to the judge in your case. What you allege are some SERIOUS violations of the ethical codes that bind attorneys.

Interpreters also shouldn't give legal advice or express personal opinions to the people they are helping, according to the rules.
