DO NOT EVER HIRE THIS PERSON AS YOUR LAWYER

Hired this person to represent me for a loan modification. Assured me that he had the knowledge and the experience to win. Never responded to phone calls. Could not answer questions clearly about documents sent to me. Never told me that I had been foreclosed on in another state (North Carolina) -... a state I've never set foot in. Documents missing in County Court files. Took months off for what he claimed were "mental health " issues and handed me off to a colleague who immediately started asking for more money. Am facing imminent foreclosure as the Courts and the Banks are basing my case solely on information and documentation prepared by Mr. Serpe. Have hired a second attorney to try and unravel the mess, Don't ever hire Mr. Serpe for legal representation.

the right to sue a bank for there mistakes...ALOT of them

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

Caring,Competent and Compassionate.

Sean Serpe handled my bankruptcy case about 5 years ago. He took a stressful,confusing and painful situation and made it tolerable,understandable and gave me the confidence that things would be OK. He took his time to explain anything that I didn't understand. He returned my calls promptly. He kept... me apprised of everything that was going on. When problems arose he was very quick to straighten it out or get the information needed to tell me how to correct the unforeseen issue. Bankruptcy can be intimidating but he made it less so and a lot less mysterious. I have the utmost respect and confidence in the attorney.
