Bare minimum

Jeffery is all the things the previous reviews say. In my case, i got the bare minimum. He filed a "bare bones" lawsauit. When I was in court i needed an update on our case. He told me he filed and thats it. There was no court date, he didnt know what to do. I was in court on a related issue, and wan...ted to know what his plan was. He said he didnt know what to do ans wanted to know if my other attorneys could advise him. The othere attourneys were keeping the eviction feom taking place. Poindexter was supposed to be sueing the bank that sold my house. A "quite title action" was what he called it. 3 months after the eviction was stayed, i called again for an update. I gave him the time and date of the next appearance. He did not show nor did he answer the call. Needless to say, wothout an update on the lawsuit, the judge thought i was just another person trying to drag out the case and get somerhing for nothing. The eviction stay was lifted and i am expecting to be thrown out of my own house in the next couple of days. If Jeffery would have shown up and told the judge ANYTHING the judgement against me, my wife and 5 kids, could have been different. Now i need an attourney for the appeal, my other attourneys werw from the Legal Aid Society, and ive been told they are not allowed to do appeals, even on thier own cases. So i will likely need another atty. for the lawsuit against a very large bank for several violations of the Home Owners Bill of Rights. WFB has sold my house once in the past(a year ago) and gave it back when i called the governing agency. This is why i called Poindexter. So far, my house belongs to another attourney. I still need help.

highly recomended

Jeff is a very knowlegable trustworthy person.bankruptcy is a very hard thing to go thru. You have to show everything you own and all your personal finances to him. He willl show you compassion knowledge and trust all at the same time. I have sent many friends and clients to him and they have all bee...n happy. He loves any kind of candy!!!

Great lawyer and a genuinely nice person!

Jeffrey helped us through a difficult time by providing honest, detailed information. He led, rather than pushed us to make the decision that fit our circumstances, making sure we fully understood all of the options, including the benefits and the drawbacks of every choice. He considered our age, Whe...re we were financially and what our long and short term goals were and helped us formulate a plan we could not just live with, but do well with. Working with Jeff has greatly improved our circumstances both quantitatively and qualitatively. Best decision we ever made! He's knowledgable, thorough and very thoughtful- we would recommend him to any one.

Jeffrey Poindexter is awesome!

I chose to work with Jeffrey in 2010 on my bankruptcy. I had spent a good deal of time researching and interviewing many lawyers in the San Diego area and when we spoke in person it was clear that along with his very extensive history as a bankruptcy lawyer he would be attentive to my questions and c...oncerns. He was extremely professional and direct in our meetings, and he and his team were excellent about responding to my emails very rapidly (often within 15 minutes) throughout the entire process. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will call Jeffrey Poindexter!
