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

Absolutely fabulous lawyer and firm

I contacted a couple of law firms and spoke with the lawyers, and felt my best choice was the Footman Law Firm. The way my lawyer, India Footman, took me under her wing, eased my mind and explained the process, made me feel confident in her. Her assistant, Angela, was wonderful and also made herself ...available to me, if I had questions. India was professional, straight forward and had my bankruptcy completed in less than 2 months. You will be very pleased, by working with this law firm.

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.

Frustrated!!!!!

After many many attempts. Calls, emails, trying every way possible to contact Mrs. Footman there has been NO contact made. Every time I try to contact her at every number I have I get a message that the mailbox is full and then the call hangs up. I am on a deadline because one of the credit cards she... was supposed to be handling has filed a lawsuit against me and I was served with a summons. However as the days draw short for the 20 days I had to ddeal with it I have yet to hear from Mrs. India Footman. She has already been paid and has all my information but now it looks as though somehow even though I have no income or way to pay for it I will have to find a new attorney. Very upset by this.

This has been a problem client from the start. This client hired me in May 2016 to file her bankruptcy. All of the bankruptcy documents was completed and ready to be filed. This client had tons of issues outside of debt and felt comfortable enough to reach out to me for advice and I was very sympathetic to hers needs and suggested counseling. I spent a few hours trying to motivate her and lead her in the right direction. Within a few days, this client was calling and texting me at inappropriate times with issue after issue (not bankruptcy related), begging for loans, asking for a portion of the money already paid for the bankruptcy to be refunded. This client ended up in jail a few weeks later accused of attempted bank robbery . During this time, she called me from jail numerous times, her mother was constantly calling, included me a family group text regarding her incarceration (I was not her criminal attorney). This went on for a least a year. I stopped responding and answering the calls but maintain professionalism with her mother when she provided status updates and told me that she still intended to move forward with the bankruptcy. Once the client was released, she contacted me to proceed with filing (1 1/2 years later). This required an entirely new bankruptcy filing, I did not charge her anything additional as a courtesy, not to mention she moved 5 hours away, I would've had to file in another court, and drive down to be present at the 341 meeting. She indicated to me that she was still not ready to file, but continued to call. Last week, she received a summons for one of the accounts to be included in the bankruptcy and called me at least 15 times the next day and sent numerous emails and messages because now, the matter has become her urgency. I was not available on that day which was a Friday. I emailed her on Monday, still willing to assist her and ask that she send me proper documentation to move forward. Her response was that she still wasn't ready to file due to projected upcoming medical expenses that she wanted to include in the bankruptcy.....???? There's nothing more I can do for this client. Maybe someone else will be of better assistance. I've gone above and beyond.
