Erika Anita Cannaday

Erika completely abandoned my chapter 13 case as well. She filed paperwork 30 minutes before deadline, then never showed up to any of my court hearings. My Chapter 13 case took 2 years because of her. Finally the court had to dismiss my case and I had to hire another attorney cosing another $350...0. I have not received my refund from Erika on the work she did not do either.

I hired Ericka earlier this year after a friend used her with no issues. I had a very difficult time making the decision to move forward with this choice, and at first she was extremely supportive. However, at my first hearing I waited 2 hours and she never showed up. Thankfully the trustee unders...tood my side and rescheduled my case. Unfortunately that meant missing more work, driving, and paying for parking for nothing. After the second hearing she assured me I was steps away from completing the process, and I just needed to finish my online counseling. I did so and forward the information to her. She had informed me she was going on medical leave but my case was cut and dry and there should be no problems once the online session was completed. Well.....I have to start the process over now as she never forwarded the info to the court and my case has been dismissed....I'd like to know what I paid 1500.00 for, and I have left messages and emails everyday for three weeks with no response. I would NEVER recommend her.

I wish I could write a good review, however, it appears as though I too have been abandoned on my case. Fortunately, after I never received a receipt for one of my payments to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, I thought I should check first before paying the rest of my balance. I received an automated... email response saying I would receive a letter regarding how her medical leave would affect my case. I still have not received that letter, no receipt for the last payment, and she has not called me back after I have tried calling and leaving messages. I have now received a letter from another attorney, acting as a debt collector, threatening a lawsuit. I have given them her information, but worry that the same non-communication treatment I am receiving is exactly what my debt collectors are receiving as well. Honestly, I would be ok to continue with her as my attorney if she could just take one minute to call me and say, "Yes, I am still on your case, just catching up." However, I haven't received this and if she is too busy to handle my case, I would appreciate her suggesting another attorney and refunding my money so I can move on with my case. In keeping with one of the other reviewers, I will be filing a grievance with the state of Wisconsin, in hopes that I will at least receive some kind of news about my case and if I should look for another attorney.

This was by far the hardest step to take in my life. I filed chapter 13 with Erika about 6 months ago. She has neglected my case and has ignored my every attempt to contact her. Because of her my case has been set in motion for dismissal and I now am in process of hiring yet another attorney to ...take over. I have emailed her called her and nothing. She did not even tell me she was going to be gone on medical. I found out via automated email reply. Then she said she would be back August 5th and my case was had documents due on the 21st. Still nothing, she as back for nearly three weeks and completely screwed me. Now I have to hire a other lawyer for 3500 dollar. Money I don't exactly have being in a bankruptcy case. I mean wow.. I beg of you, choose carefully before walking this way.
