Good luck w/Chuck

I checked out Chuck Choi and saw that he had a lot of re-org plans confirmed so I figured he would probably be a good attorney for my chapter 11. I hred him in August '16. He failed to explain to me the importance of the unsecured class ...he refused to do litigation or even be an aggressive negot...iator when we we're on the right side we have the proof and he just gave them a get out of jail free card… A free pass and it was a lot of money that they did not deserve. They were guilty of fraud. These people were members of the LLC with me and held The mortgage on the property at the same time. They had very little into the deal but because they held the mortgage they wanted to foreclose and steal millions of dollars in equity. They hired a lawyer without my knowledge . This guy coached them on how to kill the deal. They then set about sabotaging our development deal. Their actions are a breach of their fudiciary duty to me as a co-member of the LLC and we had the proof of it . In Cases of fraud like this that note doesn't even exist and Chuck gave them a pass and they're supposed to be paid $1.25mn. Chuck is a very arrogant person and is difficult to get along with. He's also vindictive; at a status conference he set me up pretending nothing was going on, and a half hour before the status conference he filed a motion to withdraw from the case in a surprise ambush move to cause maximum detrimental effect and harm to me and my company ... We still don't know the fallout from this treachery against his own client . Then he did the worst possible job he could do at that status conference; he lied by omission to The judge for months… The result of which is we have a terrible record silent when it shouldn't be. I argued with him over it & he won out & now I'm having to set the record straight and it's difficult if not impossible to do and he knew better. With an attorney like this, you better watch your back ... Don't you see the knives in mine ? What kind of lawyer hides the fact that he's going to withdraw from his client and then proceeds to represent? while client is in the dark ?!! It's so important to have a good attorney; & then, 5 mins after the hearing concludes & we meet he doesn't even mention it to me? he hid it from me. Why would I want a bum like that arguing on my behalf? He Ambushed me. He sabotaged the case. The judge issued an OSC after the hearing due in large part because of what was said by opposing counsel this is the same lawyer that advised his clients how to kill my deal so they could gmmnmnnforeclose on the note and steal the shopping center land . This prolific liar, lied in court and Chuck said nothing . Opposing counsel told the judge that his client was just a simple dentist who needs his money and I as manager was not following the plan and was not going to follow plan of reorganization... And therefore he should allow the foreclosure to proceed where they steal $6 million in equity ... CChoi silence was a co- signature of opposing counsel's Truthfulness but it wasn't truthful at all ...it was a straight up lie! And Choi knew it was a lie but he did nothing about it. So I filed paperwork showing the Dentists financial position and it was signed by the dentist's wife showing $78 million in assets and a net worth of $44 million. I believe Chuck Choi is working with the opposition to harm me. I believe Choi is capable of anything including these atrocities here that could cost me everything I own. CChoi never did answer the opposition at all in Their recent pleadings that could cost me millions and therefore I cannot recommend him for anything not even fighting a traffic ticket... I believe he belongs disbarred . he's going to hurt somebody real bad, just like he has done to me. Don't ever turn your back on Choi .
