India Footman’s Greed Has Set Me Up To Die

Footman Law Firm, P.A. India Footman's Greed Has Set Me Up To Die I'm a disabled 60 year old veteran diabetic on insulin and suffers from constant cluster headaches and migraines. My home will be auctioned off on Wed March 12, 2025 On March 3rd India Footman Footman Law Firm. told me she could... get that delayed for 3 months giving me time to sell my home and liquidate my assets. Originally quoted $403 and on March 4th charged me $403 to file a chapter 7 However on March 7 after asking me to list the contents of my home; She then reversed and said she needed an additional $1,000 to file the bankruptcy. I explained to her that my bank account was a negative $400 because I paid her original quoted fee and her response was "Pawn the stuff in your house" I asked her if I could pay over time; She said NO! So I asked how am I going to get any of my furniture or TV sets to the pawn shop" Since I don't drive or own a vehicle because of my medical conditions and I don't even have money to pay an Uber and if I can't get this bankruptcy filed, come Wed March 12th I'm going to be homeless and in my medical condition I'm not going to last two months on the street. You're literately setting me up to die. Her response to this was "That's Not My Problem, I need the extra $1,000 to help you and I need all of it by Tuesday" By the time most of you read this I'll most likely be dead or at the very least be homeless and near death. This country has become the most cruel and inhumane where greed runs rampant. Just wanted people to know Calvin

Chapter 7

I was left with an enormous amount of debt due to a terrible divorce. Mrs. Footman provided me with the best solution given the current circumstances. The consultation provided me with great insight regarding the Chapter 7 and what the future could hold. Thank you Mrs. Footman!

Professional, Honest, Understanding, and a very helpful Lawyer

I am very pleased with Ms Footman. I came to her almost 2 years ago and paid her $1000.00 and at the time I was unaware of my health problems and I was very scared I was loose my money that I paid her. But after contacting her and letting her know that I had surgeries coming up, she assured me that w...hen I was ready she would move forward with filing my chapter 7 bankruptcy. I finally was ready a year and several months later and she did exactly what she said without hesitation. I would definitely recommend her Services to anyone looking for a honest, affordable, professional lawyer. The ladies in office are always so nice and helpful too! Thank you Ms Footman for all your help and understanding.

Charges for work not performed.

I hired India Footman to do a chapter 7. I was making payments for the retainer and in the process my circumstances changed and no longer needed to file. I asked for some sort off refund since the chapter 7 never got filed. She refused I tried to compromise so it would be fair for both of us. She to...ld me to file a complaint with the Florida Bar assoc so that is what I'm doing. I'm also filing a lawsuit for the refund. This is just to inform people.

Replied last February 20, 2017

I was hired by this client to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy in December 2015. Client had been making payments towards the retainer fee for at least 14 months. Upon receiving a very small down payment from client in December 2015, I immediately began working on client's bankruptcy. I successfully negotiated with client's financial institution for the surrender of certain collateral and retention of certain collateral although on cross-collaterized accounts. This is a services usually performed after the bankruptcy is filed but as a courtesy to the client, I immediately began negotiations since client had multiple items of collateral at stake of loss. Once an agreement was reached, I organized the surrender of the collateral and remained in contact with the financial institution for over a year regarding client's loans assuring the bank that client was still filing as the agreement to retain and surrender certain property was contingent on client actually filing bankruptcy. A week ago, client decided not to file and seem to think that since he did not move forward with the bankruptcy that the partial retainer fee paid was not earned although client has utilized my services for well over a year (much longer than the duration of a standard chapter 7 bankruptcy).
