This law firm MARINO, MAYERS & JARRACH, LLC.in particular Joseph Marino is very deceptive, and unethical! I hired a sticker company to do for sale labels on my cars, Dealer Specialties, and they printed them wrong & not what we ordered and wrong information, as they were taking pictures of the vehicles they damaged and ran over my motorcycle with my rangerover! The dealerspecialties owner apoligized and paid for the motorcycle damage only, however the range rover was not fixed so he said he would re-do all the stickers and waive the charges to offset the range rover damage, I agreed and did not make a police report. However it left a bad taste in my mouth and decided not to use them any longer. 1year later they hired this law firm MARINO, MAYERS, & JARRACH, LLC to collect $3,753.20 from me. I called dealerspecialties figuring it is some sort of clerical accounting error, they said they would check it out, I also reminded them of our incident 1 year ago for the damages to the vehicle.
They remebered and we came to an amicable deal to SETTLE for 1,000.00 and we would call it even. I requested a hold harmless letter agreement by email from Dealerspecialties describing the agreement, and they emailed it to me. I said that before I send the payment I would need 1 from their hired attorneys as well. Then I called MARINO, MAYERS, & JARRACH spoke with Joseph Marino informing him of the deal me and his client arranged, He did not sound to happy and said he would get back to me, that he would have to confirm with his clients. He never called me back I sent him an email to remind him I was awaiting his call back and release letter so I can send the 1,000.00 to dealerspecialties. He kept ignoring my emails and did not return my phone calls, He UNDERHANDEDLY against the wishes and the deal his CLIENTS made with me proceeded to take it to SPECIAL CIVIL COURT behind my back and place a judgement on me, so he can strongarm me into paying the full unjustified amount of $3,753.20 plus create outrages attorneys fees for himself and so he can get a big commision from the $3,753.20 which its around 30%!
He was able to do this deceptively because they lead me to believe we had come to an amicable settlement and so I ignored the court date, he won by default cause I did not show up! He really tricked me by telling me its okay he was gonna check the propoesd agreement with his clients instead he mislead me!!! Had I gone to court I'm positive the outcome would have been in my favor. I really think lawyers are supposed to do things in a professional manner and conduct themselves with ethical behavior. This attorney acts more like repo - man or street swindlers with no ethics, dont care who they hurt in the processs as long as they get their fees regardless what agreements are worked out or what their clients wishes are! I am in the process of complaining to the ethics commitee in passaic county mr. Robert l. Stober, to hopefully get some diciplanary action against this firm. I truely believe collection attorneys like this can hurt innocent hard working people with these unethical tactics, especialy small business owners just trying to survive in this rough economy. They need to know they can't use the law as their personal toy by making mountains out of mo hills because of their GREED!!!
