very unhappy

i consulted and put 500 down to do a bankruptcy (acknowledging i still owed 1250,but in my line of work (the trucking industry )i left shortly after our consultation and was gone for 3 months upon my returnlast week i arrived to a letter that i would consider a scare tactic , i immediately called the...re office and left a mmessage for lisa roberts to return my call,when i didnt hear bac i called again and left a message for lisa roberts to call me ,to this day i havent heard a word from her or th office,,they have my phone number and if they actually knew me on a client basis they would know i have probably been out f town,.her is how ahlf the letter reads,(if we dont hear from you by may 23rd 2012,then we will assume you dont want to file a case any longer.your file will bee close and i will stop working on your case (what work have they done maybe pulled my credit bureau ) i have all the paper work.anyway it goes on to sayi will also inform any of your creditors that contact our office that you are no longer represented by our office and they can begin contacting me directly again.no refund will b given as per your retainer agreement.there will also be a 500 dollar fee to reopen your file once closed.i will be happy to email anyone a copy of this letter i can be reached at [email protected] this really the kind of office you want representing you,in my opinion it seems to be run more like a puppy mill then a law office that knows you on a individual basis,and its not like i didnt come home with the money i still owed and the intention to go down and finish paying them,but after not getting any return calls to my messages i will seek out representation else where

I have had more than one person from my office try to contact you. But we never receive a response. We have to take the next step of sending you a letter to verify you want to continue with the bankruptcy process. We cannot sit on your file forever, due to the nature of changed circumstances with clients (income, assets, expenses, potential lawsuits). My retainer agreement clearly states no refunds of the flat fee agreement and that you are to remain in contact with my office. I have plenty of clients who tell me they cannot file until a date in the future and we have no problem waiting on them. But with no feedback at all from some clients, we have to pull contact out of them. I am sorry you feel the letter was harsh. As everyone can see from my other ratings, my office is not run as a mill.

Excellent beginning to end

We contacted Mr. Roberts' office because we needed a bankruptcy attorney, and he was recommended by a well-known realtor in Orange County. Mr. Roberts and his staff explained the steps of the bankruptcy and everything we needed to provide and by when. They were always gracious and quick to respond.... We received answers to E-mails on Saturday even though we expected to receive answers when the office opened on Monday. When they said they would take care of something, they did--quickly and efficiently. We never had the pleasure of meeting him or his staff, but we felt a positive professional relationship be it on the phone or through E-mail. We would definitely recommend Mr. Roberts to anyone needing his expertise.

Quick responses

I went to Lewis Roberts after being laid off as a corporate manager of the largest Title Ins co. in our nation. I found my self with investment properties that were now empty due to the market decline. I had just built onto our own home and had a new born child & no income. Things were spiraling out... of control fast! I had to find a way to keep what we had worked so hard for while letting of go of the assets that we could not pay for ourselves and had no chance in renting or selling for its worth. Lewis counseled us and placed us in a Ch 13. Today, we made our final payment on that bankruptcy and will be discharged early! Having the knowledge in finance and real estate that I had, I contacted Lewis several times in regards to many "ifs, ands or buts" but he was always quite responsive and quick in those responses. I believe that it is difficult for someone of his knowledge to understand that not everyone is as knowledgeable as far as the terms and in the laws and regulations related to such an intense action such as a bankruptcy; but together we managed to figure out how to communicate effectively and meet on neutral ground. Lewis was willing to do that and has been an asset in putting us on a path back to comfort. I recommend him & his staff.

I Cannot Say Thank You Enough!

I have a few friends who are currently practicing law; however, when it came to defending MY OWN personal problems, I did not fully trust the attorneys to which I have stayed in contact with over the years, nor did I truly believe that they would look out for MY personal best interest. So, I consulte...d with and hired Mr. Robert Lewis to represent me. Mr. Robert Lewis not only provided me with EXACTLY what I was asking for, but he also provided me with real-world input as to the situation that I was facing. His strength, reliability, experience and credentials validated reinforcement for me at one of the worst times in my life. Mr. Lewis along with his entire staff made a positive first impression on me. He provides the utmost high-quality legal services that anyone can offer, and at affordable prices. He even offers payment plans for those in need. He is honest, upfront and very passionate about his clients needs. He makes you feel very comfortable, and treats all clients as clients should be treated. Mr. Robert Lewis walks you through the entire process of what ever your case may be, and he maintains in constant contact with you, (per phone, emails, US mail service, faxes, in person talks, etc..). He treats his clients in a very professional manner, and helps put your mind at ease so that you can concentrate on getting back on track instead of worrying about the legal paperwork or issues. There is absolutely NO WAY that I could have had a positive outcome with my case without Mr. Lewis. His guidance and ways to help me understand how to go about things was very reassuring and decreased the stress that I was facing. Working with Mr. Lewis has been a life changing event for me. I Cannot Say Thank You Enough!

Attorney Roberts asks the hard questions that lawyers need to know and provides solid & easy to understand advice to distressed consumers.
