Satisfied Client

Mr. Bedi and his staff were extremely helpful and understanding as I went through the bankruptcy process. They were very prompt returning communications and answering any questions that came up. I highly recommend Mr. Bedi.

Posted by Stephanie | September 18, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Very unprofessional

I will say that the people in the office are very caring. I believe they do WANT to help people, but they are careless in how they handle the information. I actually filed chapter 7 three years ago due to my ex-husband abruptly walking out and leaving me with all of the debt. I went to John Bedi a...nd he was very kind and offered great advice in the office, which I followed to a T. When things got to the courtroom, however, is where things fell apart. The 1st time, he didn't even have all of the documentation there for my case so the trustee scheduled me to come back. I started wondering at that time because the trustee seemed all too familiar with his shenanigans and I started picking up on the fact that she thought he was a joke of an attorney. I came back the second time only for him to not be prepared again. So we, and by we, I mean I came back a third time as he never even showed up. The trustee wanted me to come back again, but I said that I couldn't keep taking off of work or I would lose my job. Thankfully, the trustee had a heart and discharged my case a couple of weeks later. All seemed good until a few months later I noticed that my mortgage wasn't reporting on my credit. I filed a dispute and received a response that my mortgage was included in my Chapter 7. I argued that it had not and that I had requested it to be reaffirmed. I contacted my mortgage company only for an investigation to take place and received yet another response that the mortgage had indeed been included in my Chapter 7. I immediately contacted John Bedi's office to let him know of the error. I sent multiple emails and made many calls that were never returned. Here I had been making on time payments on my home thinking I was rebuilding my credit, only to find out that, once again, John Bedi had dropped the ball. The worst part was that he would never contact me back. I had some health issues at the time so, other than contacting the state bar, decided to let the matter go since I would eventually refinance or sell the home out of my ex-husband's name. The bottom line is I paid a lot of money only to have been discarded by someone who proclaims to be a Christian. I trusted him and that he would take care of my family and me and he did the opposite. I would never recommend him to anyone. There is very little confidence in the follow through or professionalism of John Bedi.
