Luis Magdaleno

Luis Magdaleno, Magdaleno Law Office DO NOT HIRE - Sloppy Legal Work, Missed Deadlines, Late for Depositions San Diego, California

20th of Jan, 2011 by User711569

I have been litigating a case against this California
attorney and am quite frankly appalled by his utter lack of
professionalism. I had the opportunity
to litigate against him when he accused my client of wrongdoing. His case was
based on the declaration of a witness who was paid thousands of dollars in cash
to testify (still unsure if Luis had anything to do with this as it was his
client, Jeffrey A. Cancilla that tendered the cash in exchange for a favorably
worded declaration). His client, Jeffrey
A. Cancilla has already been suspended by the State Bar.

Then Luis Magdaleno notices my client's deposition. He arrives an hour late complaining the
traffic slowed him down (keep in mind this is Southern California, traffic is
as sure as the sunrise). Then at the
Case Management Conference, all parties have to wait an extra hour because Luis
Magdaleno's phone line in his building is incapable of transmitting a normal
conversation.

To top it off, I personally mailed discovery to Luis
Magdaleno back in November. Written
discovery must be responded to within 30 days or the party responding loses
their right to object. Lu's first
response to the discovery is several days late and 75% incomplete. To top it off, he includes objections and
threatens to seek a protective order. Despite 32 years in practice (so he claims), he somehow missed out on
the fact that he lost his right to seek a protective order by not responding in
time. In fact, as I post this in January
more than 2 months after mailing the discovery, he's still missing half of his
client's responses.

Stay away from this attorney; you're better
off representing yourself. He's sloppy
and will surely ruin your case.
