John T. Orcutt

Used this firm for my bankruptcy and I wish I could reverse it all. I know better now. Filing fee is nearly 3xs higher than actual fee. Went through process of submitting papers etc. Court date, plan was accepted by judge. Than told can’t do any payments but monthly when I specifically said no weekly... works better. Everytime you call there is a different paralegal assigned and when you ask for assistance they all say “ oh we don’t have anything to do with that”?! I called numerous times for 4 months not 1 person comprehended nor assisted! Than my case goes in for dismissal after I sent paperwork via email to a paralegal who said hed get back to me. I’m thinking finally someone will help with my issue. Guess what? Yup never returned a call or email. Court date comes I have no transportation and I’m making them aware of this 2 days in advance. ANGELA emails and tells me to get my payment in, the guy at the “never open to public” trustees office tells me going to court or making payment doesn’t matter it’s going to be didmissed because payments take 5 days to process. Yet Angela 2 days before court says make payment. Case is dismissed I’m told to call and refile next day. I do and the rudest, most ignorant woman dies her best to rush me off phone gives me another firms number and I just recently was told 2 days ago, nearly 2 months later she lied and referred me out stating “mutual agreement”. Absolutely horrible experience. I would never recommend anyone using this firm. They are deceitful, greedy, classless, and need to seriously bankrupt themselves because they are the most morally poor inconsiderate, lacking compassion and understanding people I’ve ever come across. Oh and yes I stopped making payments. Context is very important so for that not to be mentioned in court just because I’m not there, their lack of assistance as attorneys ,while I’m asking if I can make my full payment and to have that 100% disregarded is ridiculous! The part that really irritates me is the woman lying about mutual agreement. I’ve called the trustee many times and they never make you aware you can set up a payment arrangement as the man I spoke with had told me after the FACT! It clearly states when you call you can do so on the recording yet the firm NEVER tells you that. It’s monthly only ? Shady greedy and lacking describe this place to a fault! The only respectful person was who I spoke with initially when I first inquired about assistance and that’s if she isn’t used as a decoy to steer you to the firm. Live your lives well if that can even be a thing for this people because at this point absurdity suits them

My husband and I had to file for bankruptcy (Chapter 13). I had anxiety about filing and the entire process. Everyone was so kind and courteous at the Fayetteville office. Christina Crews did an amazing job assisting us. However, i was unaware we would have to start making payments immediately after ...we filed. We filed on February 17 and we were told our first payment is March 1st. Which did not give my husband and I time to figure out our finances. We have to pay $1518 every month, not to mention we are paying $836 in child care plus other household expenses. Honestly, this amount is extremely high to the point we can't really afford that. I only get paid once a month. My husband will only receive one check prior to us making our first payment. I feel like I am still in the hole. I thought filing bankruptcy helps people get out of financial crisis. However, we feel we are still struggling with this payment.

This John T. Orcutt, as well as their crony, the so-called "trustee" Joseph A. Bledsoe, are the biggest bunch of crooks, scammers, and greedy liars I have EVER known. Let me tell you just how these CROOKS ripped me off. In February of 2015, I decided that it would be in my best interests to file for ...bankruptcy. I decided to retain this John T. Orcutt as my bankruptcy attorney. After several months of paperwork and pencil-pushing, my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy was finalized in June of 2015. Now, I had already started making monthly payments of $762.00 in May. After making my third $762.00 payment in August, I decided that these payments were too high and that I simply could not afford them. So, I agreed to let this bankruptcy be dismissed. The dismissal was finalized on Sept. 24, 2015. The very next day, I called the office of this John T. Orcutt to inquire about just how the payments that I had made to this so-called "Chapter 13 Trustee" had been disbursed to my creditors because it was my intention to contact my creditors personally to see if I could continue to pay them, just without this bankruptcy. To my utter and everlasting shock, mortification, humiliation, horror, and disgust, I was informed by this John T. Orcutt that not one CENT of the money that I had sent in to this "trustee" had been disbursed to my creditors. When I demanded to know where my money was, these CROOKS told me that they had basically POCKETED ALL of the money I had been sending in for so-called "attorney's fees". Can you believe this crap? This is criminally negligence at the very least, if not outright THEFT. Their "day of reckoning" however, is COMING.

Before this law office I tried another attorney and was told I needed thousands of dollars just to file regardless of the chapter, but Johns office proved that to be a big fat lie and had me filed in a few weeks. The biggest thing is that it costed me nothing down....naddda...zero...nothing until my ...firat trustee payment. The other guys should learn from John the right way to do business!
