DeLuca & Associates

I wrote my original review in March 2013, which was nearly 3 years ago. I had gone with my friend at the time, who is now my husband, to seek out some answers to some questions he had about bankruptcy. As stated in my original review, my husband had decided during our appointment and prior to meeting with Deluca that bankruptcy wasn’t right for him, and so we left prior to ever meeting with Deluca. There was nothing that the attorney or his staff themselves did to make my husband change his mind; we had simply talked about it prior to the meeting and came to the decision together. However, when we walked out to the lobby to inform the receptionist, we received extremely horrible customer service. The poor customer service that we received was the sole reason for my review.
Mind you, I wrote the original review nearly 3 years ago. Then, 2 years ago, Anthony Deluca publicly commented on my original review: «I am glad that we were able to provide you with sufficient information to decide that bankruptcy was not the right option for your friend. I’m sorry you do not feel that you received proper consideration from one of the employees. Although we certainly have no drug addicts in suits working at DeLuca & Associates, the woman I think you may be referring to is no longer employed by the firm.»
In my eyes, based on his response, it was done, over, and the situation was rectified. Would we ever go to him again? No, but that doesn’t mean others wouldn’t. As a potential client, I would value a business that rectifies a situation when a client states they were unhappy with the service they received. But I was wrong when I thought it was done and rectified.
Mr. Deluca has since removed that public comment of his that assured the issue was resolved, and since late July 2015, has sent multiple threatening messages to me through Unilocal.The first message, dated 07÷21÷15, states that I had 10 days to remove my review or else I would be sued for slandering and harming his business. It also stated that CRIMINAL charges will be brought against me, and I will be held liable for monetary damages and have my wages garnished. Another message stated that I am being sued and a subpoena was served to Unilocal in order for him to obtain my personal information. It went on to say, «You will pay a substantial amount in attorney’s fees and costs,» as well as «The costs will then be too high for me to even allow you to remove the post without a monetary settlement to cover those costs which will easily be in excess of $ 5,000.00 plus damages in excess of $ 10,000.00. Your review on Unilocal is not worth the cost.»
I was a complete mess when I read these messages. I considered taking them down, as other reviewers have done due to the same circumstances (
), but eventually I decided not to because I did nothing wrong. There is no slander in my previous review, nor my current review, nor any of the many other reviews I have posted on Unilocal.I will not allow him to intimidate me in order to silence me. The public deserves to know what Anthony Deluca is doing and he should be ashamed of himself!
Honestly, this situation was rectified in 2014 when Deluca wrote the original comment stating that the employee was no longer with the law firm. However, like I stated previously, he deleted that comment from the public eye. How can he say that my old review from 3 years ago is harming his business, but yet, he is actively harming his business by removing a comment from the public eye to show that a bad situation was rectified?
He has since replaced his public comment with a new, slanderous comment today, 11÷21÷15, stating, «In assessing the credibility of this review, you may want to consider the intelligence of someone who refers to another person as a dirty, crack addict as part of their review. Sadly, it is Unilocal reviewers like this that affect the credibility of all reviewers.» Mr. Deluca, my statements in all reviews have been purely based on accurate fact or honest opinion and nothing else. If you do not want your potential clients to feel that one of your employees reminded them of a drug addict, then don’t hire people that act like drug addicts. There is no slander to that statement. I honestly and truly felt that she appeared and acted like one. I am entitled to that opinion. No where did I state that she was a crack addict, as I do not know her personally. All I know is what I witnessed that day at your law firm, and what I am continuing to witness through your harassment since July 2015.
I will not be removing my review, and I encourage others who have left honest reviews like myself to not remove their reviews either.
Mr. Deluca, I would have been happy to provide you a 5 star review if I had received a 5 star experience. I, unfortunately, did not, and am updating my review once again, because after 3 years, you are continuing to provide a 1 star experience.

Without going into too much detail, Attorney DeLuca assisted me with a problem I had with a debt collection that wasn’t mine to begin with. It took a couple of months to actually make it in the clear and be off the my record woohoo! Anthony and his staff were very professional and accommodating with my situation. I never got the feeling that I was being pressured, in fact I had a great time during my initial consultation. I feel that they give each client of theirs personal attention because that’s what I got. Thanks Anthony and staff!

You guys are the best! Where do I start … from calling in for an appointment on a Monday morning, to having my petition prepared and filed by the Wednesday of the same week to stop a garnishment! ;)
While walking out the front door of my family’s apartment. I was served a scary legal document from an intimidating constable. Then I knew I had to make better decisions on how to correct my financial crisis immediately. So I started my search online. There are so many attorneys for bankruptcy and its soo confusing. So after actually reading a few of the websites and actually looking up reviews with the State Bar and Better Business Bureau I went with the best rated firm DELUCA & ASSOCIATES.
I placed a call to the number listed on the website on Monday morning and spoke with a very pleasant woman named Wendy. Wendy helped ease my anxiety as to the lawsuit that I had just received and she scheduled me a FREE consultation with Mr. DeLuca the same day. I arrived for my appointment at this huge beautiful two story building. Looks intimidating and like a bank… but, as soon as you set foot inside the building you step onto marble inlayed floors. This building makes you feel very welcome and comfortable.
I was greeted by multiple staff members upon entry and immediately was offered water/​coffee for my consultation appointment. Stepping out of the elevator on the 2^nd floor, I was again greeted by a very polite employee of DeLuca named Bonnie. Bonnie led me down a hallway full of individual offices to be seated. I was given a general information form and asked to complete the form to the best of my ability because the form would be used by Mr. DeLuca to help aide him in his consultation with my individual circumstances. After about 5 minutes into the completion of the general information form, the door opened and Mr. DeLuca walked in. He looks exactly like the commercials!!! Mr. DeLuca personally introduced himself and started a review of my case. In about 5 minutes Mr. Deluca assured me that I qualified for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Mr. DeLuca acknowledged my urgency to file bankruptcy to stop garnishment of my wages and he offered me a discount on the regular attorney’s fees and costs charged, as my case was a very simple proceeding. Luckily, I had been planning on filing for Bankruptcy for quite some time and had the entire balance available. Mr. DeLuca even had additional options to retain the firm and not have to pay the initial retainer fee upfront. He stated the firm could move the initial retainer fee out 30 days to be automatically debited from my checking account or debit card on a day of my choice! This would have really helped if I did not already have the full amount ready. Then a paralegal named Amelina came into the office to ensure all the forms were complete, gave me a receipt, and set me a return appointment the next day to complete the paperwork.
The following day I arrived for my paperwork appointment. Upon entering the building I was quickly checked in for my appointment. An employee named DJ then took me into an individual office on the first floor to gather and review all the requested documentation. Needless to say… DELUCA staff did all of the paperwork and I was completed within 30 minutes. Before leaving I was given a final appointment to sign and complete the bankruptcy forms.
I returned for my signing appointment on Wednesday of the same week. I literally walked into the building, was seated into my own office to start the review of the bankruptcy forms for accuracy. After I reviewed the bankruptcy documents the department manager, Brandon came into the office to answer my last few questions and concerns. The entire staff is very knowledgable.
My case was filed the same day and the garnishing creditor and my payroll department were notified of the filing by the firm by Thursday morning. With the reminder sheet that I was provided with at the signing appointment I placed a return call to the firm to obtain my case number and the hearing date and time of the meeting of creditors. The meeting hearing date was about 28 days from the date my case was filed. I arrived for my hearing at the Court house and had a seat at the back of the room. The Trustee called out my name and as I walked up to the podium, Mr. DeLuca was there addressing the Court. I was then asked to state my full name and address for the Courts record. Then the trustee asked me a few general questions and the meeting was finalized in less than 4 minutes. Approximately 60 days after my meeting of creditors I received my DISCHARGE. ;) As soon as I received my discharge I began getting credit card offers and pre-​approved offers to purchase a car.
As the commercial says… DeLuca & Associates did all the work, They immediately stopped the garnishment of my wages, and have given me a fresh start to rebuild my financial future. I WILL RECOMMEND TO All MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

**I apologize… I deleted, re added, and edited this review.
I went In for my initial meeting and got all the info and paid the retainer. After a few months I didn’t have the money to start the process, then more time passed. I got a few promo emails from them. I emailed them inquiring about the initial payment and was told that I could set up a monthly payment plan and the initial amount paid would be applied to balance. I must say I was happy because I figured the money was lost since I let so much time go by. Let’s just say I had to pay a pretty large sum so I had a way to go since I don’t have all of that extra cash readily available. Others that I know that went to him paid way less.
During the whole process they answered my questions and replied to my emails. I went to court and got my discharge papers a few months later. I sure did do the happy dance when I left my mailbox. It was a new start. Maybe a month later I had a couple questions so I emailed them, but unfortunately I never got a reply. Kind of disappointing. I did notice a couple things that I included are showing as charge off on my report while the others show bk. Not like I got any info after my case was closed, but what can I do.
I can say I am thankful for the new start. DeLuca and associates helped me put all of this into the past and now I can breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you.

Did my bankruptcy in April and was done by Aug. They were fast and made things easy. Will definitely recommend DeLuca & Associates. Thank you guys!!! Anthony DeLuca was very nice too!

Had wanted to file ch. 7 about a year ago and I made an appointment for 1:30pm. Well, the girl at the desk couldn’t come in to tell me at 1:50, that the God, DeLuca Himself, wasn’t back from lunch yet! Apparently my time isn’t worth his time. Don’t see DeLuca and assc. ALSO: 9÷17÷2015: This is all my personal opinion. There is no slander involved in my opinion. I am editing it b/​c I am being ‘sued’ for free speech by the law office. This is fact. Everything else is my opinion. Enjoy.
