Roger Jay Sharp

I was referred to Mr. Sharp by the debt consolidation service I was working with. I was looking to see if filing bankruptcy was available option for me. I contacted him by phone. He came across as knowledgeable and very friendly. After the phone interview he advise filing for chapter 7 and emailed my... the initial paperwork to complete and a list of document to send him along with 2 checks for his fee and the court filing fee. I did this and the checks were cashed. I heard nothing more from him. He never returned phone calls or emails. I sent him a letter after 2 months had elapsed terminating his services. I then got an email apologizing and saying that he had been out of the country and out of phone or email contact (really?) He said his assistant who he had left my casework with had not done anything and that consequently he would return both the court fees and his fees I had paid. That was the last I heard from Mr. Sharp. He does not respond to my emails and the money has not been returned. I filed a grievance with the WSB, but to date he has not responded to their requests and avoided contact with their server.

Hired Roger for a chapter 13 case. I should have realized how it would go when I had to call the person who recommended him to get him to return my phone calls & emails. Got all information to him whenever requested. He went back to his habit of being unreachable. Finally got my case filed. Missed d...eadlines in case having to push out the timeline of getting a plan completed while I met criteria of getting my second mortgage stripped. He recommended that I dismiss my case & re-file using methods that would reduce my plan amount. I followed his advice & dismissed. I paid him money to re-file. He continue his habit of not answering his phone or emails. I just wanted to get this done so we could go on with our lives. I requested he return money I paid to re-file. I have not heard from him since. No explanation. People please steer clear. I definitely not recommend him.

Never meets deadlines Never calls back despite saying he will call back or email back. Doesn't even bother to check your emails and if he does he will lie and say he never gotten the emails. Maybe he was a decent lawyer back in his day but nowadays he's getting old and lazy. I would not recommen...d this lawyer.

Roger talked to me like a person, not just a client. I was really scared, but as soon as we started talking, I knew he was the right attorney. He listened and asked questions and he explained my options clearly and made sure I understood what would be happening during the process. He was extremely pe...rsonable and likeable and made me feel comfortable and informed, instead of embarrassed. He took away all my fear and distress which I didn't expect an attorney to be able to do. They usually talk at you, but Roger talked with me. He was the only attorney of many at the meeting of creditors who dressed professionally, which showed respect to me. I felt that my concerns and fears mattered to him and I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is scared and overwhelmed or has complex issues like I did. He is really bright and understood what was going on better than I did! A+++
