Honest and reliable

Most unprofessional office Ive been to!
Most unprofessional office I’ve been to! I have never been through this process of bankruptcy and I know it’s a very sensitive issue for me and for others. Sandra and her co-workers are the most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. Never answered any of my questions because my payment wa...
Dear Anonymous Writer, You nailed it. You failed to make a timely payment. Because you decided to remain anonymous I will not mention your name; however, why did you fail to write here that you provided my office with a check with insufficient funds the first time you came! Amazing! Even after you gave me a check with no funds, I started a payment plan to help you, and you still failed to make a timely payment!!! I am shocked that you did not disclose that in your review Ms. Anonymous. Let me also respond by saying that my first and foremost priority is to help people, however, I need to establish a professional and timely billing system to run this office smoothly and continue to help people. As you can imagine, I can only do my best to help people who cooperate with making timely payments on their bankruptcy case. If you were offended when my office tried to collect payment from you, I sincerely apologize; however, please understand that I am under a duty to maintain a stable location as I have been here for 8 years and stable staff and resources, and I can only do that if my clients also do their part. If you would like to discuss your case, I am more than willing to continue to help you and your family and file your case. Sonia Y. Amador.
