Sean I Koplow

At first all was fine and he seemed really knowledgeable and responsive, but when I first received a payment delinquent notice from the trustee my antenna went up. And , yes my payments were being made in a timely manner. After being assured from Koplow's office that payments had made to the trustee ...on time. I then received a notice of dismissal for my case. At this time, Koplow's office did not respond to e-mails or phone calls. I wrote and sent a certified letter to the trustee as well as Koplow's office stating that my payments were being made on time and I should not be penalized for his employees inefficiency. When I checked my online banking statement I realized that my checks were not getting processed in a timely manner ( most of them 3-4 weeks after I had sent them to him.) I then received a notice from the trustee that the dismissal had been dropped. At this time I still have had no communication from his office and my phone calls have not been returned.

Though I usually rely strictly on recommendations when hiring a doctor or lawyer, I hired Mr. Koplow based upon, I hate to admit it, a Valpak coupon I received in the mail (blushing...). Yes, its true. declaring bankruptcy was for me simply humiliating, and there was simply no one that I could go to,... friends or relatives, who I felt comfortable enough with to confide my personal financial misery to. So i called Mr. Koplow from a coupon I got in the mail. So i must accept full responsibility. It would not have been so bad, but Mr. Koplow was virtually impossible to get a hold of. Once retained, he was almost always out of the office, and I had to leave a message, message after message, and no call back. Maybe its me, but I like to know whats happening when it relates to me. With Mr. Koplow however, this was just not possible. he would assure me to just "trust" him, that he would take care of everything, but Im sorry, that is just not acceptable to me. Im still in the middle of my case, and Im receiving mailings from the bankruptcy Court, and though I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, I just don't understand it all. When you hire a lawyer, as far as I always understood, he should keep you informed about the progress of your case. Im not a pest, but every time I call his office now, thats the feeling that I have. Its an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Would I ever hire another lawyer again from a slick coupon mailer? The answer should be obvious.
