Liou & Maisonet, PLLC

this office handled all my needs in a well manner, they kept in contact with me through the whole process. i would recommend anyone to them thanks to ms liou my divorce was finalized in 4 month. i loved it very professional and also i’d recommend anyone there. the price is very reasonable.

Dimitri claimed that 90% of his cases ended favourably for his clients. Well maybe if one thinks that the end of dealing with Dimitri Maisonet is a favourable thing, that could be considered true.
Dimitri and his Wife run a small law firm and claims to specialize in Divorce/​Matrimonial matters.

Another Claim of Dimitri Maisonet was that he knew every judge in New York County Supreme Court Matrimonial Parts and was completely familiar with their courts and procedures. When my case that he ill advised me to file in Supreme Court was assigned to a Judge, all of a sudden that Judge (who had been on the bench for 3 years at that point) was new, and the «One Judge I don’t Know».
The sales pitch when you first see him is that of overconfidence and unrealistic promises, with no mention of possible, or inevitable if you hire Maisonet, negative outcomes.
Maisonet turned what should have been a slam dunk divorce case against an abusive alcoholic, who never spent time with her children, who had Domestic Intervention Orders and an assault charge (That Maisonet’s bad bargaining made impossible to proceed on) into a legal nightmare.
He booked an unnecessary and expensive deposition for the opposing party (You pay for this) without having even looked at the financial disclosure, without even having me the client look over the disclosure in order to generate questions for this expensive deposition. When I finally received the disclosure I noticed that it was only half there. HE sat on this for months, and didn’t see that there were no reconciliations on any bank statements! And his bill had charges for examining these documents, but that is the quality of his work
I lost significant access to my children because of his incompetence.
Beware of the fake reviews he has plastered on to
the review site for lawyers. Some of them even come from his wife.
He didn’t even know that I could of appealed the orders of the Judge, that evicted me out of my home with two hours to move out. What sort of lawyer would let this happen to their client? Only a completely incompetent one.
When I asked him if I could take my children to Canada to see my parents, he said that would be too difficult. I managed to do this on my own 8 times in the last two years since firing Maisonet. That is how much he knows about that law.
One wonders if his main motivation is to ingratiate himself with the divorce lawyer community, or take a dive on a case to curry favour with a judge, because it certainly isn’t working as a zealous advocate for his client.
