Herbert B Raymond

I called Mr. Raymond to see if he could represent me in my pending bankruptcy case. After I gave him a summary of my situation over the phone he said he was willing to help and told me to make an appointment for a consultation. But during the 30 minute consultation (which I paid toll fees and rush...ed through traffic for), he was extremely rude and presumptuous. He constantly interrupted me and didn't answer any of my questions. He spent more than enough time explaining his opinion on an issue I didn't even bring up, and told me that my case was "a phenomenal deal" that I was lucky to have, even though I clearly explained to him that the monthly bankruptcy payments were breaking my back. I did not make an appointment to listen to a man ignorant of my specific situation look at court papers and tell me I was lucky. When I asked him for the papers he had printed (documents with private information from the court docket, which he would not have been able to access, had I not provided him with my case number), he grabbed them up and told me that they were his for his own records, said that "he had had enough", and motioned me to the door. When I continued to ask for the documents (I even offered to pay the cost for printing) he called security. I walked in the office at 2 PM, held a 30 minute consultation, and spent 50 minutes trying to get the papers, which held my very personal information, but were somehow his. In the end, I had to leave without them. He was terribly unprofessional, unkind, and unhelpful, and I'm glad I had a consultation with him before deciding to hire him

Mr. Raymond was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything about the Bankruptcy process in advance and there were no hidden fees and costs involved. He worked hard to get the best result and was there to guide us every step of the way. I would certainly recommend his servic...es to anyone.
