Bankruptcy failure

I would not recommend using Mr Stone he was the most disorganized man I have ever seen he worked on my case for bankruptcy for 21/2 years he lost many documents I had to give and then I had to replace what he lost many times. The attempts at bankruptcy was A nightmare three attempts made. It seemed ...like last one went thru and month later I was told it was dismissed again In meantimed I was paying each month for the case. I was so frustrated after all this time and what a waste of time and money.Outcome a disaster.

I am sorry you had a negative experience. Your failure to follow basic instructions in repeatedly providing me with the wrong information resulted in the court dismissing your case.

Crook of a lawyer

This guy has 2 bad reviews too many. And with this one is 3. He took $1800 from me after he claimed when on vacation. No one on his office answered the phone. After he come back he agreed to meet up on labor day weekend. I was 15 minutes late . He refused to wait for me after I waited for him 30 day...s. He refused to give my money back on top he now claims I owe him 800 dollars for something he never do. Please be aware this guy doesn't operate from his office he gave me a receipt on a business card. I will not recommend this guy to no body. !

This Joel tried to commit bankruptcy fraud, and I would not allow him to lie to the Bankruptcy Court. In 2005, bankruptcy law changed to crack down on people like Joel who try to scam the system.

Shocking

BUYER BEWARE. I hired the law office of Jonathan Stone for a closing. Never met nor spoke with him once as it was all through my realtor. It took forever to attempt to negotiate price after inspections so I just worked through realtors. I informed his office the numbers were inaccurate, they did noth...ing, therefore; closing could not happen. Since closing did not occur I was required to coordinate the closing, determine new numbers so I would not be leaving approx. 2700 on the table, contact all parties involved and travel to a closing 35 miles away on my own! WHY? Because they were on vacation and no one was going to be available? I was informed that they would not attend my closing at the end of the business day on a Friday. Unprofessional and rude in my opinion. Doesn't one hire an attorney to protect your interests? The paralegal just blamed everyone else and had no interest in helping me fix the issues. Also, when I asked days before to have the owners title insurance removed I was told it was required?! When I informed the office that was not the case I was told again that the state of NJ required owners title insurance. It does not. They do not even know the law. If you want to pay 1100 dollars to have someone review a document then go ahead if you want someone who knows the law and will represent you and attend the closing then BUYER BEWARE. I am not a legal profession but it sure felt like I knew more. Scary and shocked.

This buyer used my firm’s services to purchase her home here in Hackettstown. As with any real estate purchase, including hers, last minute changes and adjustments occur, typically with the title company or the mortgage company. More often than not, these are stress inducing events. Anticipated closing dates can change at the last minute which is outside anybody’s control. With this buyer, there were last minute changes requested by her, her title company, as well as her mortgage company. All of these changes caused the closing date to be moved by three days. Due to the last minute change in the closing date, this buyer insisted on a specific date where I had to be in court. This office made arrangements to have her interests fully protected to meet her requested closing date at no additional cost to her. We accommodated all of the last minute changes, arranged for her closing, and thereby ensuring that she received the best possible outcome. Our office provided this buyer with exceptional service. Katherine posted a nearly identical review of another company. I have no doubt that the other firm provided similar excellent services. Her righteous indignation towards others is unfortunate.
