Lucido & Manzella, P.C.

Curesha: I will try to respond to the parts I understand in your complaint. <br><br>You were referred to me by the UAW with a charge of malicious use of a telecommunications device. You were charged with harassing a colleague from work with your phone. I substituted your prior lawyer who you claimed was not properly representing you. <br><br>I believed in your case based upon the fake CPS report that your “friend” (as you called her) made about you, the testimony given at a PPO hearing by her, and the many police reports she made against you. I was prepared to go to trial to assert your innocence. <br><br>You were a nervous client, but I tried to calm you in our more than 10 telephone conversations. This was hard since you suffered from a deep sense of paranoia. You made many unfounded claims, like how the system was biased in favor of your friend/colleague, how you were targeted because of your race (though you and your colleague share the same race), and how you believed that this prosecution was part of a large conspiracy by unnamed government officials who did not know you, but wanted to see you in jail. <br><br>Though I tried to represent you despite your difficulties, you destroyed our ability to work together on October 14, 2025. On that day, you called me to complain about your case. After we talked, you and I came to an understanding, and you were relaxed. But the same day, Sonya from the UAW called and claimed that you told the UAW that my office had missed seven of your court dates. This was obviously a lie because (1) we had been to court only three times, and (2) my office always showed up. We also presented the evidence that you provided to the prosecutor, and once the prosecution told us that the case would not be dismissed, we chose to proceed to trial. Sonya also explained how you never told the UAW that your referral was for a criminal case. Sonya acknowledged that I had satisfactorily rebutted your lies. After I called to confront you, you admitted that you had said these things in jest and were just stressed. I resolved to withdraw from your case after you cursed me (like many times before) and since you falsely accused me of misconduct. <br><br>On October 28, 2025, I appeared in court to withdraw from your case. I presented you with the materials you provided me with as well. You acknowledged receipt of these things on the record. That same day, you and Tammie from the UAW called Kimberly, another lawyer in my office, to complain about me again. You falsely claimed that we had not showed up to court, had not presented your evidence to the prosecution, and sought your personal demise. After Kimberly told me you called, I joined you all on the call. For 25 minutes, I explained your conduct, how you had lied before, and how I had withdrawn from your case that same day. I informed Tammie that two weeks prior, Sonya from the UAW had determined that I satisfactorily rebutted your claims. Tammie confirmed that I earned my $750 fee from you and that I did nothing wrong. The call was ended.<br><br>As for the $200, that was owed to the City of Warren to obtain videos for your case that were not provided to my office. You agreed to pay for these costs when you signed a contract with my office. A client paying for discovery is routine. By the time the invoice had come, I had withdrawn from your case. You were/are always responsible for these costs, which is why you were invoiced by the City. <br><br>As for the privilege you speak of, since you made two complaints, you waived any confidentiality, not me. Given your false accusations of misconduct, I defended myself in accordance with Michigan Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6(c)(5). <br><br>In short, you have always spun tales of woe and misconduct by everyone except you, but, as Tammie and Sonya found, they are untrue. I represent my clients diligently, and I ask you do the right thing and remove this defamatory review. <br><br>Angelo Donofrio

Allen: You had multiple cases in my office. However, our office has represented you many times, including to terminate your probation for committing child abuse against your daughter, which you were pleased with. <br>I probated both your mother and father’s estates. There were only two court dates in these two cases. In your mother’s case, the first court date was to get you and your sister appointed as co-personal representatives. We appeared together and this was done. At that point, we needed to distribute your mother’s retirement account to you. What you did not know was that the account listed your father as beneficiary, meaning we needed to probate his estate. When I told you this, you said to do whatever was necessary. This was always your attitude and you were generally pleasant. <br>Once we filed your father’s probate case, a court date was scheduled for late July 2025. However, you randomly called me and all lawyers “assholes.” I was shocked because it came unprovoked. However, you apologized to me. I still appeared on your father’s case to adjourn it so you could potentially sue your sister for theft from your parents. I did this after you fired me. I filed motions to withdraw from your cases, which is required (since the lawyer you claimed would substitute me out never did). <br>You also expressed frustration because you owned a home with your sister but wanted your sister to leave so you could sell it and keep all the sales proceeds. I informed you (on no less than four occasions) that this was not legal, and that if you wanted her to leave, that you must file a lawsuit for partition, but you refused. I also told you that, if the home was sold in a partition case, the proceeds would likely be distributed 50-50 minus expenditures made by you both. <br>You retained me to review and draft a purchase agreement for the purchase of a building in Waterford. I reached out to the seller(s) and tried to find out who would draft the agreement. However, the seller(s) were evasive, but the seller(s) asked that I do it. I say “seller(s)” since it turns out that you were dealing with two people who frequently pretended to be the other (and when they answered my calls). A purchase agreement was never drafted since the seller(s) did not provide me with terms, documents pertinent to ownership of the property and business (that occupied the building), or any other necessary details. The seller(s) eventually stopped responding to my calls and emails, which we discussed on several occasions. You then decided to sue them though you gave them money with no contract, so I researched how you could sue. However, given what happened (and since you gave money with no written agreement) you could not sue the seller(s) since the statute of frauds requires a written and signed purchase agreement (with no exceptions in your case). You agreed with my analysis and decided to forego that lawsuit. You also told me in late June 2025 that you wanted another attorney sue the seller(s), and you never expressed displeasure at that point, so I do not know why you are complaining now. You also say that the things I did “contract-wise” seemed like Chat GPT created them, but I do not know what you mean since a contract was not drafted.<br>I also drafted an operating agreement for your company that I incorporated with the State of Michigan. You needed this document for an asset sale, but I advised you against it, and you agreed. <br>I spoke with you quite often during your ordeals, and you happily paid your bills, but then accused me of wasting time. You also accused me of not providing you with documents or copies of your signed contracts, but you admitted that was untrue when you fired me, and after I showed you an email I sent you with the signed agreements (which you told me to keep on one occasion). You always agreed with my legal analysis, even if you did not like the answers. Your accusations are malicious, or worse, delusional.
