Michael David Bruckman

I went to Mr.Bruckman for information. He told me chapter 7 was the way to go for me. I retained him and at that point I was informed to stop paying my debtors. Before this time I was never late nor did I ever miss a payment. After 3-6 months of getting information gathered for chapter 7 I was told I... do not qualify. My credit is now ruined. Thank you Mr. Bruckman.

I was originally told I did not "qualify" for Chap 7 , so he filed Chap 13, during which time I made payments to a trustee. Almost a year later, he informed me that NOW I qualified for Chap 7, even though none of my circumstances had changed. When I asked him about the money I had paid the trustee, h...e said it would come back to him. Oh, well..... A year after my final discharge, I found, after applying for a car loan, that a judgment entered before my discharge had never been removed , or shown as satisfied,in court records. I made an appt with him and when he checked the judgment, he realized he had not followed thru and said he would do so at his own expense. That was almost 4 years ago...I have called since and was told my file was on his desk. It must have been there as something amusing because it still has not been resolved as far as I know. How professional is THAT?

When my case first started, he told me I did not qualify for Ch. 7, I would have to do a Ch. 13. So for a year, I made payments to trustee. All of a sudden, I WAS qualified for a Ch. 7, with no changes in my situation whatsoever. When he was asked where that money was to go, he replied, "Back to me."... Not only that, once my debts were discharged (more than a YEAR after the case was filed), he did not have a judgment that had been filed by one of the creditors removed from official records.Almost 5 years later, it is still affecting my ability to get a loan. His office told me 6 months ago that he was working on it that day. TODAY? Still there, no action, no response. What a waste of money.
