Mr. Genitempo and his team of attorneys are outstanding and clearly are the best in his field. After interviewing a number of high profile attorneys, it was clear that Alan Genitempo was the most experienced. He was someone I felt confident in making decisions on my behalf which ran parallel to my interests. He assured me that he would be successful in the goals we set out to achieve in my matter.

Wrongful Termination

Hired Attorney

Mr. Alan Genitempo is a dirty lawyer, he is crooked. He took my case to represent me. I signed all the agreement forms. His secretary Kimberly Angelone sent me 3 emails messages informing me that Alan was preparing my lawsuit, he was working on my case, not to worry about it, she said: I am on top of the things for you, don't worry about it. She said Alan will file a lawsuit before the federal charges (EEOC charges) that I had against the company expire in 90 days. Alan turned around and let my federal charges expired, and told me that he has a lot of time to file a lawsuit, and he emailed me a picture of his lawfirm logo that said : best lawyer 2024. Alan and Kim stopped answer my phone calls and email messages for 3 months, and then one day Alan sent me an email message not to call his office anymore. Alan did not tell me the status of my case, he wasted time for my case to expire, and then sent me a letter that he is not taking my case to look for another lawyer. Unbelievable

Hired Attorney

Alan Genitempo is a thirty lawyer, he is corrupt, he sold my case to the company. The company corrupted him, and he dropped my case at the end, and then told me to look for another lawyer. The United States is the most corrupt and racist country in the world. I could not believe what this lawyer has done to me. I will never recommend this lawyer to someone. Do not never trust a lawyer. Stay away from this guy, he is very very bad and dangerous.
