Refuses to provide services paid for

Nick wadja was retained in June of 2022 and immediately paid in full for a bankruptcy. All required documents were submitted with in a week. No further action by this law group has been taken other than refusing to move forward and requesting I start over with all documentation requests and bankruptc...y courses. After 2 years and no communication from them, they refuse to refund any money even though absolutely 0 has been done. Nick wadja responded to an email from me telling me it’s all my fault and I need to take responsibility (for their lack of communication). This guy needs investigated for fraud and theft. Complaints have been filed with the Pa attorney generals office and the Pa bar. Don’t give this firm Any money, you’ll never see your money or services paid for.

Bennett, As we already explained to you, you paid the fees, you send in some of the documents (definitely was not everything we asked for) and then you did not reply to our email or calls or contact the firm for an entire 2 years. We are open 5 days per week for 12 hours per day so there is just simply no reason why you would have not communicated with us for 2 years unless you simply chose not to try. That is what I said to take responsibility for in your case. There is no fraud whatsoever as we want to help people. But we cannot help those that are not willing to help themselves. Nick Wajda

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

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. ...I’m in a separation and me and my spouse both can’t be on the phone at the same time due to work conflicts. I asked if I could remove my spouse and file separately. No because we signed together initially. So in cancelling my bankruptcy I only got 338.00 back because they did so much work. I’m like ok. I did so much work. I compiled paperwork together. Put it in order as requested. One group for me and one group for me husband. I did this several times. Looking for things requested. Sending things by priority mail. Doing the required courses. Called several times to try to speak to someone. Emailed several times. Once I speak to the females they were nice. Ed however is a hateful man whom should not be in customer service. I am out almost 1500. If I had that kind of money to throw around I wouldn’t have needed a bankruptcy in the first place

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.

Bankruptcy

If you want to file for Bankrupcy this is the place you want to go. Attorney Wadja Was always there to answer any questions you may have and he will explain the process which will ease our mind.I commend. I not only commend attorney Wadja but also his staff, who are informed, courteous and knowlega...ble.

Professional

I found Nicholas on-line after doing a lot of research on bankruptcy. I was going through a tough time after a break up and after many conversations with Nick he said Chapter 13 was the best option for me since I had recently purchased a home and did not want to lose it. Nick was helpful and respo...nsive as well as his assistant Lindsay. With filing, there are a lot of questions and they were both very helpful! I highly recommend the Wajda Group!

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.
