I hired a Debt Collection Company to settle our debts. We had 4 account that they were to negotiate. This lawyer was hired through their law firm to settle 2 debtors that were suing us. From the beginning he was not upfront and didn't keep us informed. I did all the calling, faxing, emailing to both... the lawyer and the Debt Collection. We had paid the lawyer upfront and the Collection agency were taking payments every month. He didn't take responsibility for his actions. He didn't show up or inform us of a hearing. As a result it ended in a default judgment. As the month wore on we pleaded, begged and emailed everyone and anyone who would listen or help. On 6/28/14 we received a seize of asset in 5 days. It took the lawyer 2 days to respond to us. For the next couple days, I called, emailed and text everyone for help. All of them did was email each other as time ticked away. On 7/2/14 our vehicle was repossessed. Everyone dropped us to pick up the pieces. I had to borrow money to hire a Bankruptcy lawyer and on 7/7/14 we filed for Chapter 13. In the 11 months they had collected over $7000.00 and not one debt was settled. We now are left with all the fees, interest and had to combined all of our debt and are left to pay 7% interest for 5 years on all the debt. That isn't including the court fees, or the other lawyer we had to hire. He is not worthy of anyone's trust. His overall rating is a big fat "0".

This man is my court appointed lawyer. Now I see why they say that the court appointed lawyers are in cahoots with the prosecutor. This guy is a fraud lawyer working a criminal defense case. This is how the system set us up for failure. Slap us with some b.s. charges give us the wrong type of lawyer ...to defend us so that we can take whatever "deal" they deem worthy.
