Posted by Danielle | March 12, 2018 | Bankruptcy & Debt

I was lied to, on two different occasions!

I visited this law firm about 3 years ago, and again earlier this year (2017). Both occasions I was told, (what I'm just now finding out was a LIE) that a specific debt (which I made very CLEAR was my main concern) would be wiped clean, along with my other debts. One of the things I hate most about p...eople are those who pretend they're genuine out to "help" you. Meanwhile, they're lying/ giving false information, and painting a different picture, once you've found out, otherwise. I also HATE when people try to use your vulnerability and dealings with life in general, as an excuse for a lie In which I was told. By saying that "I heard what I wanted to hear," or "I heard what I thought may make me feel better" Why would you talk to people I this manner, when you've expressed that you've had similar issues or you know what they're going through. Any how, I would now like to give my apologies for thinking and speaking so highly of your law firm. I should've known better because it usually always backfires. AND too bad I don't have the initial conversation (s) recorded.

Thank you for sharing your sentiment regarding your visit with our firm. We sincerely apologize for treating you in a less than desirable manner. I have met with the staff regarding our sensitivity level and response to our potential clients needs and questions. It is never our intent to mislead anyone regarding the dischargeability of debts. I am very pleased that you and I spoke and resolved this issue.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
