Worst Firm Ever

I’ve been talking to Jennifer Thorne for about 2 months now. I haven’t retained Orcutt thank God! I sometimes get no call backs or emails back. I was ready to do this 2 months ago and still haven’t gotten anywhere. She’s still crunching numbers. Meanwhile all my credit card debt is increasing by the... month. I just found someone else and have an appointment with the actual attorney. DO NOT use these people and if you get Jennifer as a Case Manager? God help you.

Rude staff. Especially the one who answer the phones

They don't return your calls and they have a nasty rude woman who answers their phone in the evening. She is not professional at all. Very rude if I could find another attorney to handle my bankruptcy I would have already. Mr Orcutt you need to check the attitudes of your staff

Poor Communications

I have attempted to contact the Raleigh location on numerous occasions to speak with my paralegal. I do not get called back, I have emailed them multiple times and I may or may not get a response and when I do its weeks later.

Poor Post Filing Assistances

I hired this firm back in 2006 or 2007 to assist me with filing bankruptcy chapter 13 their suggestion. I was instructed to relinquish my property back to the bank upon, which I did. I made all of my payments in my chapter 13 and received my bankruptcy discharge. Now here in 2018 I receive a letter ...from the State of North Carolina stating I owe back taxes with incurred interest on that property from 2013. I didn't understand why I owed this money, therefore I contacted John Orcutts office for explanation. They're the experts that I hired and paid. I was told I need to speak with Jenelle R. the paralegal over my case. I began contacting the office in January 2018 it is now April 2018. I've since had to make payment arrangements with the state of North Carolina to keep them from levying my current property or bank account. Jenelle R. has retuned my calls less than a handful of times, instructing me to email her or call her back. I have done as she request. I thought emailing may result in a faster response, so I sent her a personal detailed email in March upon which she still has not responded. The voice message line appears to be generic and shared. Even so I've still left detialed messages explaining my concerns and issue. The email has yet to be responded too and the return calls at a the time that I'm unavailable (PT appt) I have gotten are always the same message instructing me to call again. I hired this law firm because they're supposed to be the experts you shouldn't be left on your own no matter how many years later to try and figure things out on your own. The phone staff is rude they have all of these channels and you can never really talk to anyone for assistance this is my personal experience with John T Orcutts office in Raleigh North Carolina. Did I really owe this money I guess I'll never know because out of fear of losing everything I just made the payment arrangements because I was frustrated with calling the office and getting nowhere.

"I endorse this lawyer. He is exceptional in both legal knowledge and character. This is how I'd summarize John Orcutt as a professional: 1. He solves the most complex problems in consumer law as well as any attorney I have ever met. 2. He has an incredible work ethic. I have seen him spend months worth of 60 hour weeks in a row. 3. John has incredible character -- I do not know a single consumer law attorney in the ENTIRE COUNTRY who has greater respect from his peers. I don't hesitate to refer to him, and I work with him every chance I get."
