Keep swiping... Worse communicator I have ever experienced

After about 5 phone calls from a lady that introduced herself as "Anna" I finally gave in and hired Scott for my bankruptcy. He did not communicate very well and when he did it was verbal abuse. He was/is quick to raise his voice and is sarcastic. He did not provide very good service and of course An...na stopped calling all together. The main reason I filed bankruptcy was to stop the HOA from taking my home. Once my fee was paid I sent him the documents from the HOA's attorney. Scott was to take care of this judgement but did not. Now I can lose my home because of it. I never received any paper work he filed and I never received the list of creditors he included. I spoke with another attorney and she sent me my list. Once I reviewed the list of creditors I noticed he is missing about 10 companies. He makes me too stressed out!

Horrible practice and misleading

After being mislead about my case and the filing process, I decided to take my business elsewhere. The attorney (Scott) has chosen to refuse any refund - although he forgot to actually fill out the contract properly with the "refund section" blank... After trying to find a resolution I finally get an... email stating they put too much work into this case (which they did nothing with) and now REFUSING A REFUND. Horrible practice and would not recommend to anyone. Too many other options out there to accept this service.

Awesome!

Scott was extremely attentive and helped me through the bankruptcy process and his assistant Stephanie was awesome as well. Thank you so much, Scott!

Great experience

This firm just made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. Like a lot of people I was maybe a little embarrassed about needing to file bankruptcy, but I am very happy that I decided to do so and that this firm really did help me get my life back on track.
