Posted by William | September 01, 2013 | Bankruptcy & Debt

A true politician

During my consultation, he was more interested in pointing out flaws in my financials often cracking jokes at what I consider poor and circumstantial mistakes of the past. At one, point, he decided that my endeavors of running a personal business should have been called an "expensive hobby". He als...o failed to adequately explain the chapter 13 intricacies, and many details that were glossed over. As a consumer, I would have hoped that my legal counsel would make an attempt at educating me as much as possible instead of labeling me an "abuser of the system". Mr. Wieckowski has been part of the political theater that is the California legislature since 2010. Unfortunately for me, this means that I have no direct contact with him when I need legal advice. As a result, I must work with his paralegals, which may or may not answer my emails at their leisure. I cannot in good conscience recommend him to other consumers, and would advice that they not consider filing consumer bankruptcy.

Replied last September 27, 2013

When the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 went into effect, it required bankruptcy attorneys to change their roles from "Advisor" to a person who is not allowed to give potential bankruptcy filers advice or direction that is contrary to the bankruptcy code. Additionally, I, like all bankruptcy attorneys, must follow the bankruptcy laws as they are. They do not allow for different interpretations of the bankruptcy code. We are enforcing the laws and rules that are in place. Not being able to give our clients the answer he or she wants is not the same thing as being "unresponsive." I have been a bankruptcy attorney for over 25 years and have been California Assemblymember since 2010. I have introduced legislation that benefits the people and helps provide bankruptcy protection.
