Reviews for Joseph
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Joseph Nivin and his associate Maria Ameen are unethical and are reprehensible. They were supposed to serve the person I was getting a protection order, but they never did. The Judge wanted to serve the person injuring me thru the Sheriff but they refused the Judge and requested a process server instead. The person injuring me was never, ever served. If I went to court myself, the person would have definitely been served with the Sheriff. Instead, Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen said they would use a processing server. Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen lied to me repeatedly. They told me my hearing would be converted to virtual without a doubt and yet it was never converted to virtual. It was like Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen were sabotaging me. They charged me $4,500.00 and I got no service, and they made things substantially worse for me. Mr. Joseph Nivin kept insisting I give him more and more money while his legal representation was abysmal and totally counterproductive.
