Sorry you feel that way. I have no idea who you are or what the issue was. Three years ago is a along time ago. Sometimes the client does not get the result they want despite the lawyers best efforts. Jan Lawson

I am now fighting with the attorney who represents the trustee over how much they should be paid on their "administrative claim"
I took my case to trial. We won and I was awarded $40,000.00 in attorney's fees from Heritage Pacific Financial. They could not prove that they could "reasonably rely" on the loan paper work.
