Do Not Hire This Guy

Does not do what he says. Did not show up for the initial meeting with my Bankruptcy Trustee and didn't file the papers. Does not meet deadlines unless you hound him. does not return calls. Sometimes returns emails after numerous attempts. And I was pretty lucky. Google his name and look for 'ri...poff report' to see some real horror stories.
