I am hoping he is just very busy. I do not believe that to be the case. Going to do what I have to do next week.

Went to his office on 16th street. He was going to write a letter for me. Charged me $500 this was in the middle of June 2025. Have not heard from him he has not returned my calls went to his office and it was closed both times. He cashed my check the next day then disappeared.

He is not a honest attorney.

I went to him 2 years agoz. Once he got the money he got disappeared . He is not answering my calls or replying to my emails. He is not an honest man. I am not sue him for my money since he took the money but never finish the job. I am going to look into it.

Thank God

I don't know what we would have done without him. When the Real Estate bubble burst, it devastated us. He handled our Chapter 11 and made it as painless as possible. All papers were filed on time, even the Federal Judge liked him. The very best!
