Unfortunately James is telling only about 5% of the story. We filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy on the eve of a foreclosure sale (had not made mortgage payment for 16 months) and stopped the foreclosure. We had exchanged over 150 emails and dozens of calls and meetings during the course of representation. I personally attended 5 hearings to work the case. They stopped paying the mortgage payment even after the case was filed so the creditor went to court to get after the house again. TRUE we lost the house because the creditor was not going to wait any longer and I did not act fast enough to fight. To fight the creditor at that point was a lost cause. The hearing that I did not go to was the hearing dismissing the case for failure to comply with the court orders and the bankruptcy re-organization plan. I'm sorry that they lost a house that was $50,000 upside down and in need of serious repairs. Instead of asking for money for damages, they went to the California bar to try to destroy my 30 year career helping families - and nearly did. It will take me years to recover what it cost me to make this mistake. While I am recovering from the severe punishment imposed by California, James will be able to buy a home (their income is high enough to do so) assuming they handle their money well. My team and I work very hard to help families. I'm very sorry that this type of thing happens and hurts people. GQ
