Great at appearances, poor results

This review needs to be written because people need to be warned to go with a more experienced lawyer whose business is run more professionally. First impressions do not a good bankruptcy attorney make. During our case, his legal secretary left without warning, he changed offices, we never received... promised followup work (such as a promise to help combine all negative credit hits following a bankruptcy into one), and his mistakes were so severe we were advised by other longtime professionals that we should file complaints against him. He became impossible to reach via phone or email. My advice if you need help with a bankruptcy case is to work with a long-time, experienced lawyer who has a lot of legal assistance and backup immediately surrounding them in their firm. Lack of experience, backup, and help made this a terrible experience, especially since he charges the industry standard price for handling bankruptcy.

I challenge this review. The "mistake" in question was not filing to remove a judicial lien on a property they surrendered in the BK. After the BK closed they elected to short sale the property to help a Realtor friend out and so I reopened the case and did the lien avoidance for no extra charge. I'd be very curious to hear of any other mistakes they claim were made. I've never had any disciplinary issues and I'd be happy to take this on and defeat it in lieu of having my name defamed without proof.
