Posted by anonymous | January 30, 2015 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

I didn't feel like a valued client

I saw lots of great reviews on Google for Mr. West and so I met with him. Initially I was impressed by him and the way my bankruptcy was going. His office would return calls and provide the information I needed, but then again, as much as I was paying for my Chapter 7, I would hope that would be th...e case. The most disappointing thing about the whole process was my hearing. I felt that this was the most vital part to my cases success. When I showed up to my hearing I looked everywhere for Mr. West but he never showed up. He sent an attorney that doesn't even work with his office, and in fact upon further research, doesn't even live in Newnan, to handle my hearing. I would have expected that from an big Atlanta law office, but one of the reasons I went to him was the fact that he was a local lawyer in a small firm that promised personal service. In the end my case was successful but instead of feeling like a valued client, I felt like I was just another paycheck for Mr. West.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Its sometimes difficult to hear negative feedback but I really appreciate it. It is my intentions to always give incredible service, in your case it appears I failed. I would like the opportunity to personally apologize for your experience and work to make it up to you. Every client's experience is very important to me. I am glad your bankruptcy case was successful, and I really enjoy helping my clients get a fresh start.
