Crasto & Associates, P.C.

Greg is the best! Smart friendly and knowledgeable! I now mail my returns from Florida to Greg and he still does an amazing job!

This lawyer firm was the worst. Meet with the lawyer Anthony once. He always had his staff answer questions. That was addressed for him to answer. Rush the case. I would never refer or advise anyone to go to this Law Firm

.

I used James for my home closing for a condo in Arverne as my real estate attorney. He was professional, responsive and made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend him and wouldn't think twice about going with him again!

Based on these reviews, it seems like I just had the misfortune of being recommended the worst lawyer of the bunch. I worked with Anthony Crasto by recommendation of a friend whose case was more complex than my own so I thought he’d be a great fit but it was honestly a horrible experience. I’m not sure if he just didn’t see the value of my case or if I caught him in a rough year of life.

On multiple occasions, he said my injury was nothing to write home about. We would only communicate once every month or month and a half but when we spoke it was like he was bothered by work he had to do regarding my case which for the first year was little to none. I even had to forward them my own records so you can scratch record retrieval off the list.

When it came down to counter offer on the very low settlement amount the insurance company offered, I told him to counter offer with a larger amount and he said “you don’t want to make it seem like you need it” huh? I was hit by a car .. of course I need it. After pushing him to counter offer with a larger settlement amount we finally got it but it’s ridiculous that I was getting any pushback on getting more money, maybe he forgot that his pay was coming from that amount?

I should have done more research, the recommendation came from someone trusted and who doesn’t take BS so I thought I could trust it. All I got from Anthony was attitude and push back over what I believed to be very reasonable request. If I asked him to explain anything it was like pulling teeth or an inconvenience for him. Maybe I’m just inexperienced with lawyers but if you want someone who can at least pretend to care about your case, pick literally anyone else here.

I had the pleasure of working with James Baglino here at Crasto & Associates on the purchase of my first home. James is very knowledgeable and has extensive experience in his scope of work. He thoroughly went over my contract in detail, advised, and answered any questions I had. Closing was a breeze!! I highly recommend him, you'll be in good hands.
