Posted by Sarah | June 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Most inconsiderate person ever met.

I contacted Mr. Taylor to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy... charged me 1235 for the cost of Attorney fees and the actual filing. I paid in full by check.... took him2 weeks to cash it so I constantly had to check my account to make sure I did not over check thinking I had money I did not have. After ...I returned the required paperwork. He asked us to come in and sign the next week.... I scheduled and appointment on my husbands lunch break as he worked full time and we only had one car. When we showed up we sat in his office for 35 min while he was on the phone with 'a new client '. No one greeted us told us he might be late or anything, we ended up saying we had to go as my husband was late getting back from lunch. When trying to reschedule they were very inconsiderate of the fact that my husband worked and couldn't change his schedule on a whim..... we were going to the Kokomo office... not once did he mention he had another office in Indianapolis..if his two day a week schedule at this office didnt work. We missed the second scheduled appointment due to our children we called several times to talk to him or even his receptionist..... no one EVER calls you back you just have to keep calling until they answer, and you get sperotic email responses. We ended up moving out out state quite suddenly for a job offer, it took us 3 weeks to finally reach him to even discuss the options we now had as being out of state. I emailed him the updated information as he requested over the phone, and informed him that my husband and I had decided a refund ( of 789, kinda low for the amount of work he actually did and the fact we couldnt reach him, hadnt signed or filed or anything!!) Was best for us. I waited a week and heard nothing back no conformation or anything. My husband finally called and HE LIED and told my husband he had emailed me that he would issue the refund. Needless to say he told my husband he would mail the check that day (this was at 9am on Monday). Now we have bills this money needed to pay so that we could get back on our feet after moving so when friday came along i was like ok itll probbly come tuesday as it was a holiday weekend.... its been almost 3 weeks now i got an insurance cancelation notice in the mail, so I call and ask about the check.... its sitting on the receptionists desk. And when i say ok so you are mailing it tomorrow so it should be here in like a week 5-7 days she rudely informs me she doesnt know when I will receive it just that shes mailing it out tomorrow. ( which is hilarious because theyre closed Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) ..... over all rude, poor communication skills, inconsiderate of client circumstances, very Unprofessional ..... and beyond horrible time management... as if filing bankruptcy wasnt difficult in itself, having to hold off and loosing insurance on the car you need to keep a job youve been out of for 1 1/2 yrs because he LIED and didnt mail the refund out as he said is ridiculous. Worst lawyer I've ever dealt with..... crook is what some might say.
