Sean Christopher Serpe

I had a difficult chapter 7 two and a half years ago. Sean was able to get all of my unsecured debt discharged and allow me to keep two properties! Not an easy task. He also counseled me to buy a modest, dependable car while I could still qualify for the loan, so I would have something to drive un...til my credit got back on its feet. Good advice indeed, as I wound up becoming a realtor outside of the city, and would have been dead in the water without a good car. I am very sorry to read about his health problems. I don't know what he has been going through, but it must have been very serious if it affected his work. I know that he does his job with heart and a desire to truly help people. Sean, I hope you are well now!

I hired Sean Serpe in June of 2011 to represent me in a personal bankruptcy case, at his request I paid him in full and submitted to him all the requested paperwork. Weeks go by, several emails requesting status were sent and went unanswered. In August of 2011, I went to the office of our initial ...meeting during business hours and the security guard told me that he moved weeks ago without a forwarding address. I had to scramble and hire another attorney. Months layter when I sent an email requesting my money back, I got a cryptic email referring me to another address with a new partner Juan Portillo. I will likely pursue another avenue to get a refund. I would not recommend.

Sean Serpe handled my Chapter 13 bankruptcy with a level of professionalism that I rarely see among attorneys of any ilk. In short, deciding to use him among the many BK lawyers I interviewed was the best decision I've ever made in my entire working life. A bankruptcy proceeding is never a happy ev...ent, but, dare I say it -- he actually made the entire process so pleasant that he reduced the negativity factor to ZERO. Mr. Serpe's ability to instill utter confidence while maintaining a high degree of legal competence was something to behold. I can't possibly recommend his services highly enough. R.K. NYC

i had to file bankruptcy to stop sale of my house. sean went out of his way to do this for me. as a matter of fact, he had to file a few times for me to stop the sales. i never finished the bankruptcy as i have been a hard self employed worker for over 30 yrs and cant bring myself to do it. the bank ...SCREWED up many times, so many mistakes they made, that sean filed a lawsuit against them. sean is also a civil rights lawyer. i stand by sean, as i say to him many times....."my life is your hands". i was able to get a personal friendship with him. he treated me as a friend, not a piece of paper in his files. i also understand sean has had some health, personal issues (as we are have had), and has told me he is back with a vengeance. i trust his knowledge and his ability to do whats right for me. only drawback is he is very hard to get a hold of and we play phone tag alot sean, i see you read these from time to time........please get a hold of me.......gene

I first retained this attorney in 6/11 for a bankruptcy filing. I have paid him over half of the retainer and he has not followed up with my case or offered to refund my money. I only realized there was a problem when I called his office and got a disconnected phone message. He called me several w...eeks after that date describing his health problem and that he would promptly reassign my case to another attorney to ensure prompt action. To date, I have heard nothing. I have spoken to Lambda Legal who have given me the details for filing a complaint. I have been holding off on the complaint as I had been trusting that Mr. Serpe would follow-up with a plan, but I have not heard from him since. All I want now is a prompt response as to when I can expect a refund of the $1,250 retainer I have already paid--otherwise the complaint will be filed. I intend to find another attorney on my own to resolve my bankruptcy filing.
