Gail A Balser

Hired this attorney to handle a Short Sale on my Home. She said she would take care of everything with the creditor and NOT TO WORRY. My wife and I PAID HER THE TOTAL FEE SHE REQUESTED. SHE TOOK OUR MONEY and RAN. Only to find out a year or so later that she was SUSPENDED FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS by ...the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from Practicing Law for 4 Years. It is my belief from reading about her Suspension in the Newspaper that she misappropriated client money to help bail out / finance her "Better Half's" Construction Company with some of his own Financial Scams and Issues. I probably got 3% moneys worth for her services that I paid her for. My wife and I actually had to come up with MORE out of pocket $ and hire another Firm to handle our Short Sale situation. Gail Balser Promised us the World, DELIVERED NOTHING !!!! RIPPED US OFF !!!

After giving a sizable retainer Gail seemed to do everything she said she would do. Somewhere in the middle of the divorce she stopped replying to my messages, showed up late for court hearings, and would not give me information unless I made an appointment at her office. when I terminated her empl...oy she informed me that I had a balance! Do yourself a favor unless you are a bankruptcy client ONLY don't hire this greedy person. I was shocked, amazed and honestly insulted. who needs this handed to them on top of a nasty divorce? really?!!

I first contacted Attorney Balser about avoiding a foreclosure, but I was also going through a divorce and she insisted she could help me with that too. I gave her a $10,000 retainer for both. Everything went fine with the foreclosure, but the divorce part was a disaster. She kept telling me she'd f...iled paperwork even though she wasn't filing it. Months went by, and I began talking to other Attorneys, because I was concerned. Finally, when the papers did get filed I found out they were done wrong and had to be done over from scratch. I switched to a new Attorney, and I was expecting about 6-7K back from her, but she sent me a statement (the only statement I ever got from her) showing I actually owed her money. The statement showed tons of bogus charges. I was going to try to take legal action against her for this, but with my other two legal battles going on, I just didn't have the heart for it. Stay away from this attorney, or at the very least, don't use her for a divorce, and don't pay her too much at a time, or she'll take it.

There is not doubt the lawyer could be effecient in defending your case but lpoor researching skills and a lust for $ is strickly what drives her poor representation of your case ,the delays in court proceedings .I believe the intial promises that were made are Gails famous quotes "I can an...d will" and having an excuse why the date isn't what promised any speech given is false because making money is all that justifies her core personality as lawyer You as client are irrelevant the case and time and $ you lost will reflect how the answer and I quote it's your fault that this hasn't happened or I need more *$ just research the other comments and believe in what has been in written previously reviews on this site are 100% accurate please research who and what this person has done don't listen to other lawyer reiviews endorsing this individual .You want to be taken advantage of and find to late then hire this individual who can't be accountable or trusted for adequate representation.Be start find a lawyer other than this attorney.

I met Gail after my real-estate company came into some financial issues. After meeting with her, and she telling me everything I wanted to hear. I retained her law firm with a sizeable deposit. I started receiving letters from banks that needed timely replys, I called,emailed several days and weeks. ...Finally got in touch with her, said she would file paperwork to stop the bank from taking 10 of my properties, that never happened and I lost them. this woman has no clue, and should not be a lawyer. I will continue to right rewievs until I at least get my money back from her.
