Posted by anonymous | February 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Run from this man

He was my court appointed Receiver. Designated to protect my house from Foreclosure. So what does he do but SHORT SALE my house for a mere $3000, which is basically the same as foreclose. Does he tell me? No. Did he tell me the house was even sold? No. Did he return my phone calls? No. Did I g...et a dime out of my house that had over 125,000 in equity? No. He force me to use family member as real estate and title and they all received monies from my HOME. This is all truthful and fact.

Best lawyer you can get

I am serious! I have had 4 negative or so so lawyers represent me with my BPD blamer spouses. Mr. Handy nipped it in the bud. My ex had a very seedy lawyer, made horrible untrue statements the right out the gate. Mr Handy will fight for you and challenge the opposing counsel/ he is busy, but compared... to other busy lawyers, he is very good at getting back with you. His paralegal is just as great. If you want compassion but a pit bull in the court- Mr Handy is for you- would recommend to anyone dealing with high-conflict divorce or custody cases!

Mr Handy & Family Law Review 2015

Mr Handy represented me during my divorce/custody case and I would absolutely recommend he and his entire firm. He and Amanda Mangrum did an excellent job and were extremely attentive to me during a very difficult and emotional time. Mr Handy was very knowledgeable and respectful while ensuring tha...t the facts were presented and the results were fair. His experience, attitude and demeanor is/are absolutely right on in each situation. He can "read" people and a room to get to the facts in very little time and in a respectful way. It’s hard to speak publicly about such a private matter but I thought thanking Mr Handy online was the least I could do. He and Amanda were the absolute best fit for me. They managed my expectations, communicated regularly, set goals and we achieved them. I wouldn't go into another court room without him or without consulting him first. Thank you Mr Handy & Amanda and everyone at Handy & Morgan

incompetant

i was divorced in march 2007 and this office was suppose to have changed some things over to my name . I have been trying to get this done for years now and finally sent a certified letter a few months ago. They charged me more money and faxed a paper which i could have done .(I should NOT have been ...charged since I paid to have all this done in the beginning ) They keep putting me off and now the time has lapsed on my IRA that was given to me that this office never put in my name . I have talked to another lawyer and may sue if they do not get this done . I am tired of dealing with the assistant , I would not rec them to a dog and i love dogs . It is now July 2012 . I think it has been pass time to do your work people !!!!!!! if it isnt done asap i am going to file a complaint with the law board
