Bankruptcy services not provided as agreed
I paid in full and submitted all of my documents on the date of hire. 5-22-24. I completed the required credit counseling on 5-23-24. Due to the circumstances of my case I was told it would be filed ASAP. When I call for updates I’m given attitude, yelled at and hung up on. No one has contacted me. M...
Good morning Nicole. I guess I should start by introducing myself since you are not a direct client of mine. Yes, I am the owner of the firm but you are working with my partner Michael Reid. You do have Mr. Reid's direct phone number and email so you could have reach out to him directly instead of writing this review. Regardless, yes, you finished paying the fees on 5/23 but to be clear, you did not and could not have turned in all the required documents on that day. I do see however that you had turned in the majority of the documents by early June and did the first prep review of your case. I am looking into why you were not scheduled for the second full review in mid-June per the schedule discussed with you but I expect that to be scheduled today. If you do not hear back from anyone today, please do contact Michael directly. As for anyone being rude or hanging up on you - I do sincerely apologize for that as that would never be acceptable or tolerated by any staff member at the firm. If you do see this response, please share with Michael, or myself ([email protected]) the details of who treated you like this and when so I can take the appropriate internal actions. We look forward to completing your case soon. Nick

SCAMMERS
This supposed "law firm" scammed me out of money it's just a matter of time before this Ponzi scheme is SHUT DOWN!!! taking people's hard earn money and giving them the run around I honestly think everyone scammed by him , pretend law firm needs to file a joint lawsuit at the end no dirty deed goes u...
I am sorry that you felt the need to say this but we are definitely not a scam. And a ponzi is really something claiming to invest money, which we never do so that seems just as off-based as the scam claim. Regardless, we are a legit law firm that helps people get out of debt.

Scam!
Beware of this scam artist! Will take your money and do nothing for you! Just look at all his ratings.
Jeff, I am sorry but we are simply not a scam. We are a law firm helping people out of debt. We actually have over 5k - 5 star reviews on various websites. Nick Wajda

Very disappointed
I am very disappointed in this company. I dealt with them for almost a year. I would send paperwork they requested. And then it would get rejected. I sent bank statements they got rejected. My interviews got rescheduled and rescheduled. Finally cancelled because I told them I don’t have check stubs. ...
Documents do get rejected when you do not send in the format we are asking for or if you do not send what we are asking for. You are not actually out any money and we are more than happy to get your case filed but you simply must do the work on your end and provide the documents required under the Bankruptcy Code in order for us to file your case.

Kathy, I received your email this morning and did not have a chance to respond until now. I am not sure why you felt it necessary to make this public but as we told you on 1/17 via email and as we told you on 1/22 when we called you and left a detailed voicemail, you have not turned in the required documents that we have been asking for in order to file your case. You are close to being filed but you must comply with our requests, in full, to get this case filed. Ultimately, the statement that nothing has been done is simply not true. When you, or any client, signs up with my firm we immediately start working on your case. We pull your credit report, we draft letters to send to your creditors, we send you a very detailed list of the documents we will need to file, and we complete the initial draft of your bankruptcy petition and schedules. In your situation, you finished paying our fees so you were sent, and you have fully reviewed and now signed, over 50 pages of completed forms that serve as your bankruptcy petition and schedules. So clearly you are aware that significant work has been done on your case at this point. We do offer payment plans, without interest, where yes, you are able to slowly pay off the fees, even over a year in some instances, while we are working on your case on the back-end, handling creditors for you, suing creditors if it comes to that, and available 12 hours per day via phone, email, or text for any questions or concerns that you may have. On that note, we are still here, and here 12 hours per day, to help you get this case filed. You do have to get us every single document we are are requesting and every single page within each document and then do multiple final reviews with our team and an attorney before we can file your case. If you are having trouble getting us something or understanding what we still need, you can call me directly any time M-F from 8-5 PST at 310-997-0471. Nicholas Wajda
