Bachand DiScala

While Francis DiScala Jr.‘s ex-​partner, Tanya Bachand, was a fine lawyer, I wish I could say even close to the same about Frank DiScala, Jr. I had a serious motor vehicle collision that required back surgery; and when he signed me up to «his law firm» Frank DiScala told me he was going to be asking for «7-​figures» for my case. After 3 years in agonizing pain; no help from my doctors due to insurance issues; no help from my lawyer in facilitating my surgery; Frank finally attempted to force a grand-​total of $ 6,000; for full and final settlement of my case; down my throat, repeatedly; AND, to make matters worse, tried to tell me that it was MY FAULT that the case value was so low. He eventually threw me out of his office for refusing to sign the insulting offer that he wasted 3 years of my life «negotiating» for me (I probably could have negotiated more for myself with the insurance company directly) so I took my case to one of his «competitors» (I’m using quotation marks because these guys are WAY outside of Frank’s league); and after less than 2 years, and actually putting WORK into my file for me (the file
I got from Frank was barely an inch thick after 3 years; after these guys got done with it it was more like 6″ thick) they got me a confidential settlement that I will just say was more than I was even hoping possible (and easily more than 10X what Frank DiScala, Jr. tried to force on me). So, the moral of the story is: Frank is no longer with Tanya Bachand (the only REAL lawyer he had at his firm) he essentially practices out of the trunk of his car, he promises you the world to get your business and then can’t be bothered to return phone calls, show up in court, or do ANY work on your file, and then, when he is hard up for money himself, tries to get you to take whatever low-​ball offer the insurance company is making so he can get paid his ¹⁄₃; leaving you with a fraction of what you deserve. He literally is a disgrace to the term «ambulance-​chaser» and his father must be SO ASHAMED to have his good name ruined by such a lazy, greedy, incompetent, heartless, clown of an attorney. If you bring your case to Frank DiScala, Jr. you will have no one but yourself to blame in the end when he flips your case for peanuts just to get paid because he’s broke and needs the money ASAP. It’s no wonder ALL of his partners and associates have gone out on their own and started their own, FAR more successful and respectable law practices. He’s obviously a great mentor at showing other lawyers how NOT to practice law. Thank god he threw me out for not accepting that ridiculous offer, because now I am getting REAL $$ that will make an actual difference in my life. If I could give 0 stars I would… but 1 star is as low as they will let me go… Frank is actually MUCH lower.
