The Best

I have been putting off filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy for the past couple years, I was afraid of the process itself and that it would ruin our credit. When it got to the point where we didn't answer phone calls or even check the mail for days because creditors were all over us I I couldn't hold ...off any longer and that the simple fact was our credit was already ruined and it wasn't going to get better. We interviewed a few attorneys and Rob put me at ease immediately regarding the process. Rob took the time to meet with me whenever I felt it was necessary. Rob is knowledgeable and professional. I am in no way proud of claiming bankruptcy, it is something that I had to do, if you find yourself in the same situation call Rob, he's the best!

Bankruptcy

I hired Robert Stack to handle my chapter 7 bankruptcy. He charged me a flat fee of $2500.00 to handle the entire case. He advised me to max out all of my credit cards ?? Why would I do such a foolish thing like that, in which I did not. He dragged out my case. At my court hearing he came unprepa...red and arrived 1 hr late. 2 months after my court hearing I received a letter from federal court and from the trustee stating I Was granted a chapter 7 discharge. Robert Stack continued to call and txt my cell phone for the next 7 months at all different times of the day and night. What attorney calls a client at 11:30 pm on a Sunday, or any other day at a rediculus time like that? He continued to state that my case was ongoing and at one point requested an additional $2500.00 to resolve my issue. That request was made 5 months after I was discharged in federal court. Unknown to Mr Stack, I was in constant contact with the judges office in federal court. They advised me that my case was officially closed. The trustees findings were, I was a no asset chapter 7 bankruptcy. Robert Stack wanted me to believe that my case was still ongoing. I was advised to file criminal complaints against him and notify the ethics committee. I recently discovered that he has done the same thing to several other clients of his. I only hope this message saves someone from going through all the stress and aggravation this attorney put me through. It's actually affected my health.

Unprofessional

We all know lawyers are a bunch of con artists but this guy is real slime. I went to him to file for bankruptcy and even though I was upside down on my mortgage he told me I didn't owe enough. He told me to run up my credit cards another 60k and then he would be able to file me. He was happy to colle...ct his $100.00 consultation fee though. A year later I went to another attorney who couldn't understand why he would do that, filed me under chapter 7. I made 20k in payments I didn't have to because of this a$$hole. I filed a complaint with attorney ethics and of course got nowhere because all these a$$holes stick together like glue. Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from this POS SLIME BALL! All he knows how to do is rip you off for a consultation fee.
