Ch. 7 Bankruptcy
Greg handled my chapter 7. I didn't realize how easy the process was until i went through it with him. His office really helped me out with getting my financials in shape.

This firm handled my divorce case. We had a major custody dispute and I was impressed how it was handled. We ended up settling the case and I couldn’t say enough good things about this firm.

Great Men's Rights Attorney
Mr. Starkey stepped into my case with a strong hand and really advocated for my rights. I ended up winning custody of my two children because of this firm. I highly recommend the Birmingham Men's Law Firm.

Poor representation
I hired this lawyer to represent me in a child support modification case. I sent a $2000.00 retainer and was charged for every Email and phone call regardless of context. I traveled from northern Michigan to Alabama to attend the hearing. At about 9pm the night before the hearing I was contacted by a lawyer I had never spoken to before and whom knew nothing about my case. I had to try to explain everything to him as this was a somewhat complicated situation due to one of my adult children having a disability. The hearing was ultimately postponed for a few months and nothing was resolved. I was then told that not only had my retainer been used up but I owed hundreds of dollars. I feel cheated and would advise anyone thinking of hiring them to look elsewhere for someone that actually cares about their clients needs and takes some time to explain things. I had very little communication at all and I was afraid to ask questions due to the ridiculous fees for Emails and phone calls. I would be happy to provide the invoices I received to verify my statements are true.

Response from Gregory Starkey February 8, 2019
Tim, as you stated, you paid our office a retainer and you received all of the invoices. As explained in the beginning of the case, you are billed monthly for any work completed on the case, including phone calls/ emails, as this is billing for attorney time. Also, you live out of state and were not able to come into our office to speak further about your case. Moreover, as you stated, this was somewhat of a complicated situation, which goes to why your original retainer was exceeded. At your hearing for child support arrearage, we came to an agreement that kept you from being incarcerated. It wasn't until our office contacted you in regards to your outstanding balance that this review was posted.

Buyer Beware!
I hired Greg based on his commercials I saw on TV. I believed he was an advocate for men's and fathers rights. He proved to be to the total opposite. Greg failed to fight for me. He showed up late to my court dates or did not show at all. He dealt with my divorce case with a slack hand but and allowed my ex-wife's attorney to make all the decisions. Not only that but I could never get in contact with him. He was always out the office. When I had questions, he legal clerk tried to answer them whose advice I did not pay for! I would not recommend Greg to anyone who truly cares about getting their divorce settled. This man will take your money and do little to nothing to help you in your case. Buyer Beware!

Bankruptcy
I met with Greg starkey in April 2014 for about 20minites. He explained bankruptcy to me, I gave him my paperwork. He informed me that once I paid half the fees he would start filing my bankruptcy. I paid $800 of the $1200. He then told me I had to pay in full before anything was started. nothi g was ever filed. I requested my $800 back, it took over 2 months and multiple emails for him to tell me he would refund 'part' of my money. He gave me $400 back and claimed the other went toward legal representation. When I asked him what 'representation' Bc he had done nothing.... he claimed he sent me letter and made phone calls to me and that he had started the filing process. Which he had done NONE of those. Waiting for an explanation and proof of these letters, calls, and filing.

Chapter 13 incompetence
I used Greg Starkey for a chapter 13 case. He was totally inept and unprofessional. He missed hearings and was unprepared. It took 6 months to get the case confirmed. He sent in wrong payroll deduction order and had twice the amount taken out of my check. I had to contact trustee to ask for money back. I requested a modification after income decreased and additional medical expenses. He refused to do it and said vet another attorney. Bottom line he withdrew from case and left me in worst shape than I was going in after paying 15,000 in one year. I got another attorney and refiling with considerably lower payments. The worst part is he had no concern for the plight I was in.
