What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews credit Marino with handling multiple closings professionally and affordably, and representing a client successfully in court. However, seven one-star reviews over five years document a consistent pattern: clients paid for services (loan modifications, trust deeds, property grievances, tenant advice) that were never completed, accompanied by unreturned calls, ignored emails, and avoidance. Two clients filed small claims suits; another escalated complaints to attorney boards. Trust establishment and foreclosure services appear undelivered or abandoned mid-process.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • completed real estate closings smoothly
  • professional demeanor on court appearances
  • reasonable pricing for closing services
Watch-outs
  • unreturned calls and emails
  • money taken without work delivered
  • unrecorded deeds and incomplete tasks
  • poor communication and avoidance

Think twice if: Anyone considering loan modification, trust creation, or grievance work; multiple clients report non-delivery and unresponsiveness despite payment.

Strengths

  • positive court representation

Worth knowing

  • Closed 4 sales and 4 purchases for one repeat client without incident
  • Did not record deed into living trust for elderly clients after charging $6,000
  • Small claims judgements filed against the firm for non-delivery of loan modification work

  • Staff (paralegal Jen named) handled work while attorney was unavailable or uncommunicative

Clients consistently report strong results with loan modification and foreclosure defense, crediting staff like Brittany Panzarella, Nicole, and Eugenia for persistence and clear communication. One client flagged inconsistency between the responsive negotiations team and a litigation department that made drafting errors and mishandled a simple document revision, though the negotiations side earned consistent five-star ratings for tenacity and follow-through.

All seven reviewers gave five stars. They consistently praise Justin Pane as knowledgeable, approachable, and effective in complex cases: settling disputes faster than expected, resolving long-standing conflicts, and explaining options clearly. Reviewers highlight his empathy and calm demeanor, particularly when helping clients through difficult situations. His office staff earned equal praise for diligence and professionalism.
