Piotr Gabriel Reysner

My dealings with Piotr were horrible! My case was dismissed due to lack of responsiveness on his part. He failed to file required papers in a timely manner, as a result my case was dismissed. Once a new case was filed he still did not act in a timely manner and as a result a trustee from the Departme...nt of Justice contacted me. The DOJ trustee suggested I hire a lawyer to sue Mr. Reysner. In the meantime the court ordered he return all fees paid by me, he has not returned the fees. As my case went on the trustee's office began contacting directly. The trustee's office requested paperwork that Piotr already had, but had not filed. I began to deal directly with the trustee's office and they contacted me when they needed something. My case is finally discharged but true to form nobody from Piotr's office has contacted me. This whole process took over a year to complete! I would not recommend him or anyone from his office for any professional matter.

Piotr, I have left numerous voicemails and sent as many if not more emails and have not received a response back. My first court appearance was November 11th and you were not there. My next court appearance is December 17th and I need to speak with you. Otherwise the trustee will dismiss my case. The...re is missing paperwork that needs to be filed. Please contact me before the 17th so we can resolve this.

The biggest problem I have with Mr. Reysner is his woefully inadequate level of communication. After retaining his services, and receiving average communication, it has been impossible to receive an update on my active Chapter 13 case. I began attempting to contact him on August 17, 2010 and afte...r numerouse attempts, I have still not received any information concerning my case as of 9/10/10. Furthermore, my wife has received communication from Reysner's office that the Courts are attempting to close her case because they have not received information that she provided to Reysner 30 days prior. My wife and I have made numerous attempts to contact Mr. Reysner and have only received superficial responses from his "office personnel," none of which offered substantive information. I have read reviews from other clients of Mr. Reysner and also his responses. While he claims slander, facts are facts. I have retained all email correspondence and all voicemail correspondence and can back up my concerns upon request. Dealing with Mr. Reysner has been more difficult than dealing with the creditors that caused us to contact him in the first place. The bankruptcy process is difficult at best. One should not have to battle poor attorney relations in the process.

While the BK was completed, there were a few issues that concerned me. Lack of communication was one. After our first couple of meetings I never heard from him again until I saw him at the hearing. At least he showed up! Though, during the hearing, there was missing information and incorrect calc...ulations. Thankfully, the judge was lenient and allowed for the miscalculations and just told Piotr he had done things wrong.

Beware! This so called attorney has zero professionalism. We understand budget so his generic answering service and his rented room in a real estate office wasn't really a concern to us, but the lack of communication was. It was virtually impossible to contact him. The only prompt call back from Rey...sner was upon our first inquiry of his services, if you can call 24hrs prompt. After that we couldn't even get a hold of him to confirm our first appointment, which he ultimately forgot about! Being totally stupid we were still actually going to retain his service. We filled out the paper work he requested (which looked like a 7th grader put it together) and sent a retainer check. This was sent next day priority mail with confirmation of receipt. The next day we called and left 3 messages to see if he received our information. No call back. This was on a Friday. The weekend comes and goes. We call on Monday leave multiple messages with the answering service. No call back. Call on Tuesday leave multiple messages with the final one that we are not going to be interested in retaining him. We finally get a call from his so called secretary. We tell her we no longer want to retain Reysner and to send our information and retainer check back to us. With that Reysner finally calls us back for the first time since our original meeting and acts like nothing is going on. We ask him if he received our information and retainer check. He says no. We tell him he better find it and return it us immediately. He says he'll try? A short time later he calls back asking us to give him a second chance at representing us. We say no. Communication is the key in any professional relationship especially something as personal and difficult as bankruptcy. He finally admits that he did get our information and has already deposited the retainer check. So now on top of lack of communication we have a LIAR! We tell him to send us our information back with a reimbursement check. He says he has to check with his office manager. Boy, where is all this staff hiding? They sure weren't in that rented room in the real estate office. To this date which has been 3 weeks. We still have not seen our information nor reimbursement check returned. Thank goodness we put a stop payment on the check! We also find out later from the attorney we are retaining, all the information that Reysner failed to let us know about or maybe he just doesn't know, due to his lack of experience. We'd like to see how he talks himself out of this. It's this kind of lack of professionalism and accountability such as Reysner's that gives lawyers the bad rap that they have.
