Needs to try to have just a little compassion for his paying customers

Mr. Weller would not do what I asked. I suggested to him to try to convert my chapter 13 to a chapter 7 because of my change in my financial situation. His reply was pretty much that can't happen. I elected to terminate Mr. Weller and go with another lawyer. My new lawyer converted my chapter 13 to ...a chapter 7 after reviewing my situation and we took care of it in a matter of a couple months. Case closed , I'm happy . Jay Weller needs to try to have a little more compassion for his work ethic and for his customers I won't talk about the price I paid along with his so called monthly monitor fees. Not any monitoring going on that I was aware of.

Unprofessional and Unreliable

Jay Weller is VERY unprofessional and unreliable. He stood me up on 2 separate appointments and then when I asked for my deposit back due to the situation, his incompetent staff refused. They did nothing but waste 2 of my Saturday mornings and then kept my hard earned money. I chose another attorn...ey that did an excellent job and was always at the appointments. Jay Weller is not someone that I would choose to represent me in any way shape or form. Don't even bother calling him and call someone that will actually show up to your scheduled appointments.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Admonishment issued in FL, 2004

updated on 04/25/2013

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Jay’s comment:

“Admonishment was for yellow page advertisement that featured a tag line that said "Let us be your lifeline"”
