Todd Russell Wagner

Consulted with Todd about a bankruptcy resulting from a pending divorce. My case was a little complicated because of joint assets that were being split in the divorce, and my ex wife’s bad debts. He made it sound like there wouldn’t be a problem filing the bankruptcy right away. I paid a small deposi...t to get started with the process. I didn’t hear anything for over two weeks. I called the office and two days later finally got a return call. I was told my case was more complicated than originally expected. I was in a hurry to get the bankruptcy filed before I started getting harassed by creditors. I wanted a clean break so I could start over as soon as possible. A few more weeks went by with nothing happening. I called again. A few days later I got an email from a paralegal asking for more information. I sent that in and waited again. I eventually received an email from Todd saying he couldn’t file my bankruptcy until the divorce was final, even though he assured me there would be no problem doing it right away. I started getting contacted by my soon to be ex’s creditors. Something I really wanted to avoid. I called the office and was told by a paralegal that they couldn’t help me with that, nothing could be done until the divorce was final, several months out at least. I went and talked to another attorney who had helped a friend with his bankruptcy and he said he didn’t see why the bankruptcy couldn’t be filed right away. This guy gave me a much better feeling than Todd. I decided to switch attorneys and within a month my bankruptcy was filed. Not sure if it was incompetence or something else on Todd’s part but I sure wouldn’t call it a good experience. I wouldn’t recommend his law firm to anyone else.
