I have been litigating a case against this Californiaattorney and am quite frankly appalled by his utter lack ofprofessionalism. I had the opportunityto litigate against him when he accused my client of wrongdoing. His case wasbased on the declaration of a witness who was paid thousands of dollars in cashto testify (still unsure if Luis had anything to do with this as it was hisclient, Jeffrey A. Cancilla that tendered the cash in exchange for a favorablyworded declaration). His client, JeffreyA. Cancilla has already been suspended by the State Bar.
Then Luis Magdaleno notices my clients deposition. He arrives an hour late complaining thetraffic slowed him down (keep in mind this is Southern California, traffic isas sure as the sunrise). Then at theCase Management Conference, all parties have to wait an extra hour because LuisMagdalenos phone line in his building is incapable of transmitting a normalconversation.
To top it off, I personally mailed discovery to LuisMagdaleno back in November. Writtendiscovery must be responded to within 30 days or the party responding losestheir right to object. Lus firstresponse to the discovery is several days late and 75% incomplete. To top it off, he includes objections andthreatens to seek a protective order. Despite 32 years in practice (so he claims), he somehow missed out onthe fact that he lost his right to seek a protective order by not responding intime.in fact, as I post this in Januarymore than 2 months after mailing the discovery, hes still missing half of hisclients responses. Stay away from this attorney; youre betteroff representing yourself. Hes sloppyand will surely ruin your case.
