I'm a new client, just starting. As for being rude I think he is very busy, he wants yes or no questions answered, if he asks what time it is tell him. Dont tell him where the watch was made. Its just bussiness, he cant hear everyone life story on how they got into the mess, he just there to clean up the wreakage. I will repost after my 7 is complete.

Richard Granvold needs to slow down and take more time with his clients. He is very rude and does not cover information thoroughly. He misled me with information and ended up costing me MORE money AFTER my bankruptcy because he did not follow through with some things during the bankruptcy process. I had to hire another bankruptcy attorney after him just to clean up my mess. Also, during the bankruptcy process, I found out from my mortgage company that they would not take a payment from me directly and that my attorney had to pay their attorney on my behalf. I called Richard to ask him about this and he said he didn't know anything about it. I told him that my mortgage company said that they had sent him something in the mail. He said "do you really think I have time to open all the mail that comes across my desk??" I couldn't believe he would treat me that way! I had to call my mortgage company back and beg them to accept my payment from me personally because my attorney was not cooperating. Luckily my mortgage company accepted my payment and I ended up being ok. But isn't a lawyer supposed to be aware of these kinds of things and take care of their client?? That's what we pay for isn't it??

I used Richard for bankruptcy in 2000.
I was very happy with the way I was informed of process.
On court day, many other people were nervous because their attorney was late or missing.
Richard met us early in front of court room door went over everything and handled all with professionalism.
I was impressed, I think you would be too.

This guy is cheap, I wouldn't recommend him to any one, Save an extra $100.00 and get a lot better lawyer that will help and not be rude when you call for advice. He hung up on me several times. Wouldn't return my retainer when asked to via mail. All the posting he does I am surprised there arent more review like mine.
As the saying goes you get what you pay for, and this guys is dirt cheap..
Lawyer’s Comment:
1 bad review out of 8000 clients..not bad.noone can please all clients..my office door right now as over 15 cards thanking me for services..and a 100% excellent rating from another site and 100% on answering call calls within 1 day. With respect to the above individual she is simply lying.. never would or have I have ever told a client "do you really think I have time to open all the mail that comes across my desk"..that is ludicrous and slanderous.but so be it..Further, all my client are told in writing as well as by myself they have to make all mortgage payments to keep their house..and this person obviously did not do that. Otherwise, why would they have to pay any attorney to do anything? If your mortgage payments are caught up there is nothing the creditor can do-which this complaining party conveniently leaves out what they did not do..which is to follow my advise and not get behind in mortgage payments! All persons have a right to make the morgage payments directly and to claim they cannot except through their attorney is simply under the law untruthful and false claim by this person objecting. AS a result of their failure to pay as advised, they sitll have the right to catch up on all arrears without any attorney fees also so she paid for an attorney when not even needed with respect to post petition arrears as the law of Washington so provides..Having said the above, some persons do not follow advise and then blame others..hence this persons false and misleading claims.
