First-rate guy

John is handling some estate issues for me. In the process of working on those issues I have come to know him fairly well. I consider Mr. Delk to to be a fair, honest and trustworthy person. Increasingly rare characteristics nowadays. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend in need of a...n attorney.

bankruptsy

He reviewed all my bills incured becaue of a divorce. After some time, he explained to me that i would be 103 years old by the time i got everything paid off, if all i could do was pay the minimun. I asked if bankruptsy was the only way. He said i had other options, and explained those to me, but... i opted for bankruptsy. He walked me through the process, and i got a new start.

I have never had such a terrible experience!

I went to John Delk for a relatively simple, uncontested divorce....which he managed to completely mangle for me! First off , he took my money and then dodged my phone calls and did ZERO on my case for about 4 months. I had to call another attorney, who in turn called him to find out what the proble...m was before he would even acknowledge that I was his client. Finally he scheduled a meeting with me and took all my info, and told me he'd get right on it. Then, when finally took some action on my case, ANOTHER SEVERAL MONTHS LATER..... he filed paperwork with the wrong information, which led my ex to believe that I was trying to cheat her out of child support, and in turn she obtained a lawyer and the whole process began to unravel. After receiving their response, he corrected his paperwork and refiled, and dodged my calls for another 3 months or so. Finally, after about 15 months, we got to court, everything settled, all that remained was my ex had to take a children in divorce seminar before the judge would sign off, which was done the following week. About 2 months later, Delk calls me to come sign my papers.....this stuff still hasn't gone to the judge for a signature yet. I still don't know if I am legally divorced or not, and i can not get in touch with him to find out, because he will not return my calls! Through 17 months, he required more and more money to continue. This man is a sheister and a crook and should not be allowed to practice any kind of law, anywhere!!!!
