Shawn Jaffer and Heather Hersh are scamming people be aware please

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAMERS DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME WITH JAFFER LAW THEY ARE FULL OF SCAM ARTIST WITH SHAWN JAFFER AND HEATHER HERSH BEING TO RING LEADERS OF THE SCAMING....... I WISH I WOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE I HIRED THEM. I HIRED JAFFER LAW To sue Experian Credit for issuing a Death Cert...ificate on Me which prevented Me from getting credit cards or a bank loan to purchase a car. JAFFER Law continued to loose My paperwork and blame Me for it and threaten to drop the Lawsuit if I didn't resend the paperwork to them..... They manipulated Me into signing a bogus and fraudulent contract that I never agreed to. I agreed to giving them only 35 percent of the settlement Money and I would get the other share of the settlement Money. I agreed to this on a recorded phone conversation yet they presented a contract that includes legal fees and paralegal fees and other fees that I never agreed to so I fired them. JAFFER Law placed a lien on Me for 22 thousand dollars because they think I'm going to settle My case for 25 thousand dollars and they believe that they are entitled to 22 thousand dollars of My Money. This Law firm would not give Me the recorded phone conversation that verified the original agreement they are scammers who have done this to several people. I refuse to allow JAFFER Law to capitalize on My trauma I will be sueing Heather Hersh and Shawn Jaffers in small claims court for misleading and scamming Me into signing a contract that I never agreed to.... I'll be going to BBB and the State Bar aswell be careful not to deal with these people they need to be disbarred..... I wish I would've read the reviews before hiring them. Please don't fall for these scam artists.

Terrible representation

I fired this firm after they reviewed my complaint and they confirmed that the three credit bureaus were at fault for illegally reporting incorrect information on my report. I spent tireless hours resending information and documents over and over. If the lost a paralegal, they lost all MY DOCUMENTS! ...and the nightmare of sending everything again. New people would start and I would have to explain my whole story again. The new person would agree that I would be well compensated for my credit score plummeting from 800 to, at one point in the six hundreds. I was furious. Long story short, after tireless hours, days, months and over a year of sending documents over and over, my paralegal calls and said her boss, Shawn Jaffer now said my case was only worth 2,500. I was furious! who does all this work for half of 2,500 (the law firm gets half) and that's not even a slap on the hand of these big credit bureaus. I suddenly realized they were powerless. I had been taken for a ride. THEN the topping on the cake was in the mediation meeting with EXPERIAN, I was made a fool of when they showed me ONE SINGLE DOCUMENT that I had never seen over the year working with them proved THEIR CASE showing the information they receive from the lender. They argued if you deceived these Docs from a lender you must record it on the credit report. They argued this is not an error on our part, it's an error on the lenders part. I was mortified and embarrassed that my counsel had never seen this information where it was clearly not the Credit Reporting Company's fault and my layer didn't way a thing. Just let them sit there and scold me! I kept asking why are you asking me all these questions to try to prove me I wants being honest, when all I need was to see this doc they had that my counsel DIDNT. And my counsel didn't not step in to even defend me! Just sat there!!!! I asked for a break and called my lawyer and told them we must drop the case. Shawn Jaffer law firm said they were going to take the Credit Bureau 5k settlement offer!!!! I got NOTHING and am going after the actual guilty offenders. By myself. Still have the bad credit and got not one dime. I would give them a zero instead of a one if possible. They need to go through some serious changes before they continue to represent people.

Debt

I went to this law firm when I was being sued by a debt collection agency. I called them they were able to look at what the debt and company that was suing me. To make a long story short within a couple months they were able to find fault in this company, I ending up not having to pay the debt and ...they were able to get it removed from my credit report. This law firms is the best and they take payment plans. Thank you for your help.
