DO NOT ENGAGE - short staffed and incompetent

Do not hire this lawyer. Hired her to do a means test. She calls a week later to say I would have to do Ch 13 and pay $1,500 a month. When asked about means test, we discovered it was fraught with errors. She said she would fix and call back, and never heard back from her. When I called, she was... rude, and saying she was short staffed and that I am being hurt by anything. How wrong she was while I was getting nasty threatening calls from creditors whom I owe $80,000. How could she say this, how can she look herself in the mirror. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER

Susan Taylor

Replied last February 16, 2017

This person simply wasn't hearing what he wanted to hear. Yes, he's $80,000 or more in debt. And, at his income level simply doesn't qualify for Ch. 7. He would end up paying all of it back over a 5 year period in a Ch. 13, probably. The huge ERROR of which he is speaking is that we initially included an additional month in calculations. I caught it immediately & said we'd need to recalculate. HE HAS SIX STREAMS OF INCOME, so that wasn't easy. And the answer didn't change (my initial estimate was correct). Nothing was filed. There was no harm. I am well-staffed (full-time paralegal & 2 part-time receptionists/aides) & quite competent (I practice only bankruptcy & file as many as anyone in the entire Western District, from San Antonio to Waco). He's angry because he couldn't bully me into a refund; he indicated initially he might go a different route but wanted means test numbers.

Susan G. Taylor, Esq. is the epitome of an awesome bankruptcy Attorney

I contacted Susan so I can try to rebuild the financial aspect of my life after an accident that broke my neck and resulted in job loss. I recovered well physically but I became financially distressed. I relocated to Austin for an employment opportunity. I continued to be harassed by creditors thre...atening all sorts of things. Susan was instrumental in clarifying what legal rights I have and dispelled the threats from creditors. I decided to hire her to file a Chapter 7 but time was of the essence and I didn't have all of the funds necessary to file. Susan went above and beyond her scope of responsibility and filed my case on my deadline of New Year's Eve in the nick of time (11:57 PM) with my promise to pay my balance the following week which I did in full. Susan and her dedicated, professional, and efficient staff were able to successfully get everything done right and on schedule! I appreciated the effective and necessary communication I received from her staff asking for information and providing me with court appointment reminders, etc. Honestly, I have never known or have heard of an attorney going so far to help a client in need to spend New Year's Eve away from all of the hoopla to file a case. She has not only put me on the right financial path but continues to provide me with wise counsel to get me back in control of my finances. Due to her genuine concern, impeccable attention to detail, expert knowledge of the bankruptcy laws, professionalism, and kind understanding heart; I am in a very good place today. I was even able to keep my BMW! I've read the reviews regarding Susan and her staff and decided to write my own. I cannot DISAGREE more with Mr. Thomas for writing such a vindictive-sounding review. He reminds me of the type of individual who would purchase an expensive suit to wear to a party; ruin it; and return it for a refund because he really did not like the color after all.

Best Bankruptcy Attorney

I shopped around Austin for a bankruptcy attorney, I met with many prior to choosing Susan Taylor. Susan is very professional, friendly and has an extremely courtious staff. Susan gave me a list of what I needed to bring her and she filed immediately. Within 24 hours, all of the harassing phone ca...lls from creditors had stopped. I highly recommend Susan Taylor if you need a Bankruptcy attorney!
