Grifter

This person was hands-down a nightmare to deal with. He lured my spouse and I into a Chapter 13 plan so that he could get paid long-term fees. We only had an '08 vehicle, and pursuant to his counsel, we declared a code of bankruptcy that wasn't a right fit – over time, it became clear to us that Jess...e Sweeney. This so-called attorney also failed to inform us that each email we exchanged would add an additional $100 charge to our bill. He knew we had no option but to pay him, and really kicked us while we were down. Furthermore, his correspondence was anything but professional. He was very short with us, and wrote very informally – usually in all lower capitalization with no proper grammar, and this seemed to get worse in the eveningtime... overall, I would rate this guy lower than 1 star if it were available. He didn't make any concerted efforts to help us understand this very complicated code of the bankruptcy laws, and frequently grew annoyed with my spouse and I when we would seek clarification from him. He also led us to believe one of our vehicles was safe from repossession for a period of time, only to have it taken in the middle of the night abruptly. His failures as cousel eventually led to the dismissal of our Chapter 13 plan when health events caused the loss of my spouse's employment. Overall, he's shown himself to be an inconpetent shrewd, unworthy of even one red cent he extracted from us during one of the most challenging time of our lives. Avoid this person like the plague. You'll be glad you did!

So happy I made the call to Jesse

I had read all of the other reviews prior to calling Jesse for help with my Chapter 13 filing. Now having had my own personal experience with him, I couldn't agree more with all of his other clients. His direct communication, incredibly fast response time to emails and messages, and attention to ever...y detail are nothing short than incredible. I was incredibly nervous when I started the process. I was embarrassed that I had allowed myself to be in the situation I was in and scared about the repercussions of filing Chapter 13. Jesse made several personal calls to me and those fears flew right out the window. He put me at ease by putting my situation into a larger perspective that I couldn't have seen on my own. He is honest, so intelligent and yet, spoke me to in terms that were comfortable, understanding, and uplifting. Before calling Jesse, I thought that I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel. Not only did Jesse show me that light is there and within reach, he helped me turn this situation into a chance at a fresh start. I couldn't be more grateful for Jesse and his staff for being there for me in a time I needed help the most.
