Excellent!

Upon filling out the app online I was contacted by the firm immediately I was a mess in total distress after being turned down by several debt relief programs The staff were quite professional taking all the information necessary to proceed Michael Reed introduced himself He asked me a few questions ...and informed me that I qualified for Chapter 11 bankruptcy He was very clear on a payment plan and the eventuality of the filing date I also received emails detailing what was needed on my behalf like taking a debt course and receiving a certificate of verification to present 6 months prior to filing I believe that I am in the best hands possible Everything was covered and explained in detail A BIG THUMBS UP to Michael Reed and The Wajda Recovery Law firm.

Highly recommend !

I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas Wajda. I've never known someone as efficient and professional as Nicholas. He doesn't waste words nor your time. If one listens carefully to every word he says his guidance is always clear, and concise. His responsiveness is incredible. Even over the difficult lon...g five year period of Chapter 13. He answers every phone call, and every email. But it’s best to email him. My frequent inquiries were always met with patience and comprehensive answers. He may put you on a long hold, but if it’s important to you at times to talk rather than email, stay on hold. And take notes of everything he says. You'll look back on your notes and realize how correct he was. Our successful completion and discharge from a difficult Chapter 13 is a testament to Nicholas. He’s left us in a much much better place. Thank you Nicholas!

Your company is crap

I paid in full and I sent all of my documents to your lawfirm and they didn't know where my documents were they called me and I told them that I faxed my documents in and the woman said that I didn't do it and my mom was the one that did it and we gave them the fax number and the woman said ok I foun...d them and I will download them to your files well she didn't do that and then I get a email saying that I have to send my documents so I called and I told this woman that I talked to and she asked me how did you send in your documents and I told her that they were faxed and she looked and she found them after 4 months of waiting then I get a email saying that my bank statement was denied because they old well if they would have downloaded my documents the day that I sent them then they wouldn't be old and then I called yesterday and this black woman started laughing at me because I was pissed off because of all the time that they had my documents and they didn't do anything so I talked to a guy named Anthony and he canceled my service because I was yelling and cussing because I was pissed off so I found out about alot of complaints about your company and I see why so I made a complaint with the BBB because I think that your lawfirm doesn't do their job like they are supposed to and all I think is that they collect all the money and do nothing so I would like you to handle this problem and you can call me if you want to my phone number is 651-329-0574 thank you

To file a case, we are required to collect certain documents before the case can be filed. Faxing us documents is fine but you are told to follow up immediately upon sending the fax to make sure pages are not skipped or missed. I am not sure why there was a 4 month delay in you sending this and the communication with the firm, but yes, when that much time passes we are going to need the documents to be updated. We are happy to assist you in filing your case but we cannot permit verbal abuse to staff. If you want to call back and cooperate to turn in the documents we are asking for, we will be happy to move your case along.

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...y voicemails aren’t returned. I feel like this is the only was to get any kind of a response from this law firm.

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

Rating:  4.8 (Concern)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2023

updated on 11/06/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
