missed my only courtdate

He has no business ethics, what-so-ever. Our first meeting went great, the second meeting we brought all our financial paperwork he requested, and that meeting went fine. I might add he was hard to reach from the get go. Once he received our past financial paperwork, he did his "lawyer" stuff, we mee...t again and he showed us what to expect. The court set a date and contacted us direct. We talked to him once before the date, and we assumed everything was going to plan. The court date comes but our "Lawyer" was a no show. We had talked with the court reporter and she put us in the back of the day, incase he could make it. I had left three messages then finally, and luckily, he called me back. He had some lame excess why he couldn't make it. My wife and I had meet another attorney during the morning. He overheard our situation and he offered to learn our case and represent us if he and the court we comfortable. He and the court we fine with that, so he represented us and everything was fine. I have since tried to contact Piotr approx. 15 times via his office phone, cell phone, and text to retrieve all our paper work and finally I gave up. I would rather represent myself then have to deal with Piotr again. Highly NOT recommended

Started off good. Ended up bad.

When we first hired Mr. Reysner to handle our Chapter 13 bankruptcy, he was very competent and knowledgeable. However, when we have needed his assistance and/or follow up for any issues that arose after the case was filed, he was unresponsive. He is notoriously difficult to get a hold of. He does not... return phone calls, emails or faxes. We had to resort to dropping by his office hoping to catch him. This only worked one time. I would not recommend him.

Awful Expierience

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.

run, this lawyer will take your money and run, also never return your call!!!

People read the reviews, he not only got a ch. 13 dismissed with the lack contactioning us when additional information was requested by the courts. Almost lost our home, thank God the sale date to our home got post poned. I'm in the finance world and dismissed 13 looks really bad. After calling 20+ t...imes, we sat down and promised he would resolve the issue. Then again after relentless calls, emails, and visits to his office( he's never there), has yet to respond again. Run Run Run!!!!

Unresponsive, inconsiderate, unprofessional

After charging me $9500 is fees, this lawyer dropped my case and walked away. He missed my last court date, and will not respond to any of my requests for contact. In addition, he previously had missed meetings he would schedule between us, and for which I would take time off from work. He did this... to me twice: One meeting a scheduled phone meeting; the other to be a meeting in person. After the second missed meeting he had the audacity to threaten to not continue working unless I paid my monthly $1000. This was on the third of the month. Apparently he is free to abuse his customers, but then cannot tolerate payments not made on the 1st of the month. He absolutely cannot be reached by phone, and seldom replies to email. I wish I had never crossed paths with this individual. After all the money he sucked out of me for "work" he had done (yeah, right), he left my case just up and hanging. Working with Mr. Reysner was more irritating than working with the mortgage company whose illegal practices spawned my case originally. He still has my original paperwork that I am not able to get back so I can continue my suit with a lawyer who actually does what his job requires.
