other things on her mind
did not understand my needs was not helpful did not keep me informed, and i regrete using her as my lawyer
Unfortunately, Steve was two years behind on his mortgage payments when he came to see me about using bankruptcy to save his home from foreclosure. Although I was able to get a Chapter 13 Plan successfully confirmed for him, immediately following confirmation, he stopped making Plan payments and mortgage payments. About eleven months later his lender obtained relief from the bankruptcy stay and his case was dismissed. I understood that his goal was to keep his home, however, there is only so much I can do if he wasn't willing or able to make the payments. For the cost of my fees (equivalent to about one mortgage payment), he essentially got to live in the home rent free for an additional year because of the bankruptcy. I believe this was a service to him, even if he happens to disagree.

Bad Attitude.. Don't care of clients
I spoke to her about my financial situation and she acts really nice the first time I met her but I know how these lawyers are and I was right when I tested her. At the second appt I did two tests on her just to see what kind of person she really was. First test before the end of my appt I told her I...
My office charges a non-refundable deposit of $500 at the second client meeting. By the end of this appointment an attorney (not a legal assistant or sales person) has spent over two hours with you and has incurred the costs of your credit counseling ($49) as well as for obtaining your credit report ($50). I ask clients to sign an initial consultation agreement at the FREE consultation where it clearly states that if the client wishes to use my services, they will be required to pay the non-refundable deposit of $500 at their next appointment. In this case, it is true that the reviewer did not sign this initial consultation agreement because he took advantage of my time not for himself but for a relative. Since he was not the actual filer, I did not have him sign any representation forms. The reviewer had no intention of filing bankruptcy himself. Where my mistake was made was agreeing to make a second appointment with him. This was a complete waste of over two hours of my time and I incurred expenses on top of it before I was told that he "forgot" to bring the deposit. Bottom line is that this reviewer stole from me. It is "clients" like him that make it difficult to continue to offer free consultations to the people who really are in need of my services. I have a fee policy that is not a secret, I post it on my website and on my forms and we talk about it in detail at the initial consultation. If you do not want to pay the fees I charge, then don't use me, I won't be offended in the least. I don't think this makes me cold blooded, it makes me honest and upfront and firm - exactly what you should want in a bankruptcy attorney.

Can I give up my house under chapter 13 if I just cannot afford it?
23 Jul 2009
I filed Chapter 13 and my credit union told me I had reaffirmed the account which I continued to pay on when in fact was not.
