Ricardo Antonio Rodriguez

I went to Mr. Rodriguez as my last hope. I had been trying to modify my loan with the bank for years, I even hired another attorney that charged me for 2 years and accomplished nothing. When I went to see Mr. Rodriguez, my house about to be sold and I was at my wits end. The first thing I noticed was... his sincerity. He made me feel calm and gave me hope. I filed a chapter 13 and was able to stop the sale and get a loan modification through the bankruptcy. I am now peacefully living in my home, without fear of losing it ever again.

My home is going to be sold in foreclosure. This attorney had been one of the many that had written me a letter offering a free consultation and multiple ways to avoid losing my home through the filing of either bankruptcy chapter 7 or chapter 13. After consulting with my current foreclosure attorney..., she suggested I give him a call out of all of the other attorneys that had written me because it was stated he could help me keep my property and because she does not do bankruptcies. Since my sale is very soon and he is very far from where I live, as well as the fact I work long hours, I wanted to explain my case over the phone. He didn't even let me finish explaining my case or why I was calling ,he interrupted me by saying" I am not interested in what you are saying and why are you telling me all of this, lady?". Needless to say, I was shocked at how cocky and arrogant and unprofessional this person was. Especially since HE had written ME offering his services. The conversation obviously went downhill from there since I do not take kindly to rude people, more so if I'm going to be the one paying HIM.He would not even let me talk, kept interrupting me in his usual impolite manner so I asked how much he would charge for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and he answered "VERY expensive, I don't think you can afford me". He said $3500 for hiring him, $2500 for the loan modification plus extra expenses. In my opinion, this is not only a shady ,unprofessional and rude way to deal with a prospective client (we had not discussed my financial situation nor did he know if I could or could not afford him), but a huge red flag on how anyone that hires him will be treated down the road. Foreclosures and bankruptcies are stressful enough without having to deal with an attorney who treats you ,the client, with zero respect. My advice to others looking for legal assistance is to not even call this unprofessional and rude person. If this is how he acts when he's trying to sell you his services, I wonder how he acts when you've already given him your money. No thank you, I will take my business elsewhere where I am treated with respect.
