Not blown away

Wasn't blown away. Hired Justin to handle my bankruptcy, yet a different lawyer showed to my 341 hearing, very poor return communication follow-up. He was cheaper than others and I could see why.

Doesn't return phone calls or emails.

While my bankruptcy was handled efficiently - Justin and his staff were extremely slow to return phone calls and repeated email requests for various follow up. I signed a letter of attestation to keep my car and home out of the bankruptcy. While the car was taken care of properly the house was NOT.... I recently applied to refinance in my name (4 years have passed) only to discover from my lender the house, WAS included in my bankruptcy and NONE of my payments in last 4 years are showing up on my credit report!? I also referred my husband to Justin's firm for bankruptcy and tax issues. Bankruptcy handled OK but to this day...4 years later NO ONE will return a call or email with regards to tax issue they were working on! This after paying $1000 to begin handling the process. Who does this??????? Coming from a family if doctors and lawyers - I can honestly say PASS on this firm! True Kelly-Martin

Fails to call or return e-mails regarding important concerns on my case.

My husband and I filed a Chapter 13 case almost two years, everything is going good with the payments and I have no complaints here, but we have a concern about our Federal Tax Refund for 2014 and my husband and I have made a lot of calls to his office and sent him e-mails, but no response at all. W...e need the tax refund to pay for car repairs that are absolutely necessary and we have not received our refund from the IRS yet. We are in a temporary fix and we needed Justin to file a motion with the courts to keep our refund for necessary repairs on our vehicles. Justin would keep in communication at least through e-mails but now he refuses to do that.

Do Not Recommend unless you want to wait and wait

I hired Justin more than 3 years ago. The case was originally a chapter 7, but after the Courts wanted me to pay too much money, he recommended conversion to Chapter 13. After no work on the case, the court fined him and eventually he told me that the Trustee wanted me to pay even more money back t...han I would have paid in the Chapter 7. He recommended that we stop the chapter 13 (after I had paid almost 10k to the Trustee), and go back to Chapter 7. Since that time, I have not been able to get him to respond to emails, phone calls or anything else. Now the creditors are hounding me again, and I have no money to pay them. If he would respond to emails or phone calls, maybe I would have a bit more confidence that he would do a good job. Right now, he has left me out to dry.

Bankruptcy case

I hired Justin Pickramenos when I filed bankruptcy, apart from a somewhat scattered disorganized office he did a good job right up until he failed to show up in court and the mortgage company took the house back, I am now being sued by Wells Fargo for court and lawyer costs as well as the HOA company.... Mr. Pickramenos will not return my numerous calls and emails I feel he did not finish the job he started and left me in a worse mess than when I started. I do not recommend him, he's too busy making money to pay attention when it counts.

Replied last February 10, 2014

To clarify, this client WANTED the house to go back to the mortgage company. We filed a motion to abandon to try to give back the house as quickly as possible, which was denied by the judge because of other circumstances beyond my or anyones control. I did not show up to court because I and opposing counsel had discussed the case with the judge previously and the outcome had already been determined and negotiated; there was no need to go to court again. I have explained to this client many times that she is not responsible for the amounts owed on the house and that the correspondence she is receiving is due to the courts allowing the banks to send debtor's statements for their homes in case they want to make payments. I have reassured her that she does not owe the money on the home, which is exactly the result that this client was seeking. This is merely a case of the client not understanding what I have told her numerous times. She is not being sued by wells fargo for court costs and legal fees. Wells fargo is merely sending her copies of court documents because they have to; they are completing the legal process of retaking legal title to the home. I have explained this already.
