I hired Saul Gelbart to represent me in a child custody case. I read attorney Saul Gelbart reviews online and thought he would be a good attorney. Guess what, I was wrong! He is a snake oil salesman. Very friendly when we met in his office. Promised the world. I paid him a big retainer.
Within a couple month's the retainer I paid him was gone and we had not even gone to court yet! He asked for more money and I paid him. I was in a pretty high profile case at the time. I ended up spending over $100,000 with the SGSB Law Firm and only went to court a couple times. As soon as I could not afford to pay him anymore money, he dropped me as a client.
His firm and billing practices are very unethical. It was very obvious to me that all the reviews I read on the internet were either written by him or his employees. Do not waste your money on this firm. You will be very disappointed. Your better off going to court and watching the attorneys in action.
Then talking to a few in the hallway and select one you feel comfortable with. Then sign a retainer and stick to a budget. I highly recommend you do not retain Saul M. Gelbart or the SBSB Law Firm unless you want to go broke.
Stay away from this law firm. Saul Gelbart is a crooked attorney. His law firm lacks full integrity. All they care about is money. I signed his retainer agreement and paid him $25,000. After a month, they burned thru my money and asked for more money. They threatened to drop me as a client if I did not give them more money. I ended up having to use my retirement account just to pay his firm. On top of that, it was nearly impossible to get a hold of him. He did not return phone calls or respond to emails. I later found out attorney Saul Gelbart was in collusion with my husbands attorney and he dragged my case out for over 2 years in Orange County Superior Court. At the end, I did not get even close to what attorney Saul Gelbart promised and it was a complete waste of time. Do not use this law firm. Saul Gelbart and his staff ruined my life.
