Gail Marr

She was my lawyer through my drug case. And stayed in contact with me during preliminary trials and got me drug court. I couldn't take drug court because of work and family. So we went to trial and she's a great lawyer. If not for her probably would be in jail. Her law firm handled my father's bankru...ptcy case as well. So if I ever needed advisement or to hire another lawyer. I would go back to her. Without a doubt and I can't thank her enough

I originally saw Gail Marr for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I had two private student loans that I could not pay due to a disability. It was a complex case but bankruptcy seemed to be the best option. Our first meeting was not even 20 minutes long and I was told these loans would be easily discharged! She... didn't look at any of my loan documents or advise me of the process or possible outcomes. It wasn't until I took the required credit counseling and spoke with a representative that I realized how difficult it would be to discharge student loans. When I called to ask questions she was never available, never returned a single phone call, and she never sent any communication/copies to confirm what was happening with the case. When I scheduled a 2nd meeting she didn't have anything prepared and politely asked to reschedule. I understand lawyers have busy schedules and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but then she asked to reschedule the 2nd meeting again just a few hours before our appointment! When we spoke on the phone she again apologized and asked if we could meet quickly to sign the paper work since it had already been about 2 months since our first meeting and nothing was done. We didn't even meet at her office supposedly because of traffic. We met halfway at a convenience store and even then I arrived first and was waiting a good 15 to 20 mins before she arrived. Once she did arrive she realized there wasn't any place to sit and go over everything so we ending up sitting in my cramped car. Signing papers on my steering wheel and discussing financials in a busy convenience store parking lot is beyond unprofessional but I could have let all that go if I thought she was actually going to help. But as we quickly went over my list of creditors she didn't seem too familiar with Navient or that Navient was affiliated with Sallie Mae and serviced both private and federal loans. I decided not to go through with the bankruptcy at least with this lawyer and law firm. I fully believe if I did continue I would have spent $1,200 for a lawyet to discharge credit card debt that added up to a little more than the total I would have paid them, and I would have been left with $50,000 in student loans still. At least the first payment I made was refunded but I wasted 4 months with an attorney that was clearly too busy with other cases to take my case or didn't want to admit to her lack of knowledge handling student loans in bankruptcy. Either way I would not recommend this attorney for bankruptcy cases.
