Avoid this lawyer. Concerned about my 96 year old mother staying in New Jersey with her friend after a hospital called me with"concerns",I wanted to remove her from care by her friend. The friend sued for guardianship in Jersey. A NYC lawyer (My mother's legal address was in NYC)would've charged a $2000 retainer to take the case and successfully resolve it, said they couldn't take the case when they found out she was then still in New Jersey.Desperate,with an upcoming court date in 2 weeks,I accepted Adam Dratch's demand for $25,000 to bring case to conclusion with guaranteed favorable result He said his friendly relationship with Judges and other lawyers would bring me a favorable result(but didn't),and he never challenged the basis the other party used to fight for guardianship.My mother died before the case concluded,Adam Dratch demanded another $5000 just to signify I should enter into Probate court for my mother. Court appointed lawyer ok my burial plan,I went alone to NY probate

Hired Attorney Adam D. Dratch

Concerned about my 96 year old mother staying in New Jersey with a long time friend after a hospital called me with"concerns". I removed her from his care. He sued for guardianship in New Jersey(and control of her assets). A lawyer in NYC (where her legal address was) would've charged a $2000 retainer to take the case and successfully resolve it for me; said they couldn't take the case when they found out she was then in a New Jersey hospital. Desperate,with an upcoming court date in just 2 weeks, I went to Adam Dratch. He said he'd get me what I wanted, but required I pay him $25,000 to take the case to its completion. Being Desperate,I paid him. Big mistake. Opposing council lied on forms submitted to the court, the opposing party lied about his own employment history and my employment history,;Mr Dratch refused to challenge;saying his good reputation in court would.give.us success. My mother died before trial. He wanted $5,000 more to only get me into Probate process and bury her!

Hired Law Firm

This is a firm that continues to lie‼️ This firm has displayed a troubling lack of professionalism. On multiple occasions, I was rudely dismissed by Brian Dratch, who hung up on me twice without resolution. I was initially assured by Tania that the issue I raised would be thoroughly investigated and addressed when it was first brought to their attention. Additionally, I was promised that the firm would review my case with the goal of pursuing a remedy and having my record expunged. However, due to Brian Dratch’s handling of my case, my legal matter was dismissed over ten years ago, and it appears that he has shown no concern for the mishandling of my paperwork at that time. I feel misled by the firm and believe that their lack of accountability is unacceptable. I am committed to sharing my experience publicly to inform others about the service, or lack thereof, provided by Dratch’s firm and the professionals within it in New Jersey.

Hired Attorney Brian Dratch

Brian Dratch does not respond to emails, is never in the office, as he has a lot of personal problems. He is dismissive, his assistant is nice but he is angry, mean and shows no compassion. Stay away from him as he promises you the world and doesn’t stay to his word. I had a complex case with a lot of Issues and it appeared he was working for the other side and didn’t care what I said. He’s a personal injury attorney who is a snake.
