I spent 4 1/2 years working on a loan modification with this attorney. He pushed me through bankruptcy and ruined my credit and financial records. Overall, the bank has refused his attempts to modify and now so much time has passed that we're so far underwater he can't do anything. He pushed me to... another attorney to clean up his mess.

I hired Mr. Siderman to handle my bankruptcy. I paid him over $4500. He did such a poor job of handling my bankruptcy that the trustee suggested that I file a complaint with the trustees' office. To call his staff inept would have been kind. He promised to handle my loan modification and all that was... done was that some papers were started three times and finally filed but the bank can find no record of the paperwork. I have to redu the whole procedure. I could have done the whole thing myself and had less problems. Instead of owning up to his staff's poor performance, Mr. Siderman tried to place the blame on me.
