Robert J Penfield

Read all of these reviews. Also, find the website, penfieldsvictims.com. Everyone, including myself reports the same behaviors from this guy. Offers his expertise, takes your money, then goes completely dark. If you do manage to get a hold of him, he has a half-a$$ story about how things are goin...g and then excuses about how is world is overly difficult and makes it impossible for him to conduct his business. He is a fraud. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS GUY or you will not only lose your money, you will lose whatever you hired him to help you protect.

I gave this attorney money to help me with my real estate matter and bankruptcy. After I paid him I heard very little from him. He didn't discuss pros and cons of strategy, he peppered conversations with a lot of legalese that left me feeling more confused before I spoke with him. Therefore, I prima...rily dealt with one of his paraleagals for a month until she and the rest of his staff walked out for non-payment of wages. Now I am back to square one and having to seek new representation. Please be careful when hiring this attorney and get every thing in writing.

He was to include me in a class action suit against my bank for "illegal handling" of my original mortgage and home equity LOC. He was charming in our first meeting but once he had my retainer I couldn't reach him by phone, email or regular mail. His calls were handled by a real estate agent workin...g from home who couldn't get any answers either. After 6 months of non-communication I held him in breach of our agreement and asked for my money back. Still no response and now I understand there's not going to be a class action suit. I have filed a grievance.

Took my retainer - Then did nothing else. Have notified him by mail/phone that he's fired, yet he will not return my retainer or my calls. He moved out of his office, and has left no forward. Filing "e-Grievance" w/The Washington State Bar Association, BBB, Attorney Generals office, etc... ... I somehow doubt I will ever see a dime of my money back. Don't give him your trust or your hard earned money.
