Ryan Pannell Wray

I hired Ryan Wray for my divorce. He never kept me up to date. Always had reasons why he couldn't meet with me to speak to me about my case. He never kept me up to date. I only recieved text messages from him. He threatened to drop my case about two weeks before my court date. He showed up for the tr...ial introduced me to another lawyer that I have never met until that date represent me and haven't seen him since. He knows what to say to get you to hire him, but I do not recommend him at all.

Filed with Mr. Wray in Auguts of 2009 for Chapter 7 BR. Mr. Wray was not ever able to prove that he filed and continued to lead us along after taking our retainer of over 1100.00. We have still heard nothing from Mr. Wray after having attempted several times by phone, e-mail and text without response.... Mr. Wray repeatedly canceled "appoinments" with us to get our hearing completed. We still have no response and willbe filing with the State Bar.

My husband retained him for another issue and I decided to use him when my ex filed an out of state case to stop my child support. All he had to do was file a response with the courts and he failed to do that. Since he did not file an answer, the other state found in my exes favor and I lost all of t...he remainder of my child support.

Apparently, a bankruptcy filing is supposed to be quick and easy. Not for us. Ryan took our initial $750 and pretended he filed us (or maybe he did but our case got dismissed because he never followed up). Rarely could we get ahold of him, very inaccessible, and on the occasion that we did, there ...was an excuse to make us feel sorry for him (lost a family member, wife had miscarriage, etc.) If indeed it was true, we felt bad for him but his (former) office confirmed these sob stories were not true. He wanted another $750 and suggested that we use any available credit we had on our credit cards (which thankfully, was none). I suspect he has done this with many others and gotten away with it. Now we are hanging out to dry and having to refile in another state, having to pay an attorney and filing fees all over again, do the whole credit counseling thing, etc. Two years of our lives have been spent in anguish over this. Bankruptcy is humiliating enough as it is.

Ryan took our bankruptcy case, our 1500 dollars, and never filed our case. After finding out that our case had been dismissed, we almost lost our house and car. Luckily we found a great attorney who turned things around for us. We were told by the Chapter 13 Trustee's office that Ryan Wray had a habi...t of not filing client's cases with the Trustee's office. We filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas and encourage others to do so.
