Chapter 7

Hired Paul to file Chapter 7 for me. He failed to ask all the questions the trustee would. In the middle of court as I'm asking him about this he says "dont worry about it, you're fine" Had to fire Paul and hire a new lawyer. Terrible experience, terrible decision.

Shady Crook

I hired him to do a bankruptcy. Over the phone the charge was $750. By the time we ended the appointment he jacked it up another $350 for other charges he "forgot" to tell me about on the phone when I clearly asked him if this was the complete cost. Then after I sent all my paperwork, he proceeded to... tell me that it would be another $10 for every creditor over 10. He forgot that part as well. I refused. The kicker is this: when you file for bankruptcy you have to do a Pre-Counsel and Post-Counsel to receive a VERY important certificate. I did the pre-counsel and the company had no problem sending Mr. Walier the confirmation. Afterwards, I again completed the post-counsel and received my certificate. Again, figured the company sent the post-counsel verification and certificate to him. Bankruptcy done right? Nooooo. I received a letter from the court saying it would not be discharged since they didn't receive the certificate. I immediately called my "Attorney" and he informed me with a chuckle "oh, yeah, this happens to my customers a lot" Did you catch that? "my customers"...."It will be $220 to re-open the file and $350 for my services....." I said thanks but no thanks I'll do it myself and hung up. This is clearly a financial scam he runs. I called the courts - I was sent a letter, which I did not receive or see but found out Mr. Walier received an electronic notice that they did not receive the certificate and he NEVER notified me. With regards to ethics and due diligence at most, and courtesy at the least, he should have followed up with me. He is an unethical attorney and a financial fraud artist. He should be disbarred. DO NOT RETAIN HIM!!!!
