This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very bad decision - don’t do it!

Instead of filing my voluntary dismissal the day I signed it, like they claimed they would, they filed it 42 days later and that’s only after I called them and told them I was going to call the trustee to find out the status of my case because they DO NOT respond to emails text messages or phone call...s. If they do happen to respond by text or email, don’t expect them to put their name on it. Even if you ask for their name, they’re not giving it to you. I’ve asked them time and time again. Who’s on the email? Who am I texting with and got no response. After a year and a half of chapter 13, hiring them proved to be a complete waste of time and money. Both the trustee, and State of Michigan received small payments, but the only creditor to be paid was them. Not one other creditor saw a dime. They withdrew funds out of my bank account without my knowledge or consent. We had a payment arrangement set up for biweekly payments, but that didn’t stop them from taking an additional $300 out of my account just four days after my last scheduled payment. After recently reading the reviews on Google, their responses to one star and two star reviews are appalling. Instead of trying to Learn and improve, they’re busy bashing, defending and deflecting. Incredibly unprofessional. Don’t do it!

Rita K is the best!

What a great group of people the Kostopoulos team is. They were the most prepared lawyers at our trustee meeting. They helped me through the most difficult time in my life And didn't let me feel like a failure. I have my life back! I will never forget their kindness .
