Dennis S Berkowsky

This guy was recommended by a friend, who it turns out, was already representing the sellers of my apartment. When I spoke with him, he recommended another Long Beach attorney and friend, Robert Soloman. Both guys are the biggest bunch of scum sucking low lives you would ever want to meet! I think my neighbors dog could’ve done a better job!
Unfortunately, the white trash that I was buying my apartment from lived in squalor! When I asked them from the first day I saw the place to fix a few simple things (ie, tighten some screws on the kitchen cabinets, fix the screen door, which they poked a hole through instead of replacing the broken handle, or replace the bathroom door handle-​they used a head band and wrapped it around each door knob so that when you closed the door there would be friction… unreal) they said no problem. I told my «lawyer» soloman, that I wanted those few things done, he really didn’t want to be bothered, but said ok. Berkowsky had the contract amended mid way through for his clients, and although I wasn’t comfortable with it, I agreed bc my lawyer said, just give it to them. Of course, when the day of the closing came and I did the walk through… NONE of the simple things I wanted were done! I asked why they weren’t done, the wife said, Berkowsky said they weren’t in the contract so we didn’t have to do it!!! So even though we amended the contract for them, for a MUCH bigger issue, he told them not to take care of my small issues!
At the closing when I brought these things up to Berkowsky and said we amended the contract for you, he looked at me and said how did you amend it… when I told him, he said, «oh, well we’ll talk about it later»…what a schmuck! I said screw it, its done and I have my place. Unfortunately, the white trash people left the place disgusting and also left holes in the walls and damages that were pretty substantial. You would think my «lawyer» would be on my side to take care of it… ummmm, NO! He said if you want any other services from me, there’s an additional 800 $ fee! Things eventually got worked out by ME and the guy who owned the place… no help from this moron or berkowsky! NEITHER of these lawyers know their asses from their elbows and will do the bare minimum and simply STEAL YOUR MONEY!
DO NOT HIRE THIS IDIOT OR HIS CROANIES
