Sean Christopher Serpe

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.

This lawyer took my documents and my money years ago. He still has not completed my case and refuses to answer my phone calls or my emails. He promised to send all my documents and the retainer to a new attorney and to this day he has not done either. He promised several times to do these things a...nd each time he had an excuse.

HIRED FOR LOAN MOD. IN 2010 WHICH TO THIS DATE HE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING FOR US. UNRELIABLE, DISHONEST ATTORNEY . TOOK RETAINER AND DOCS AND TOOK OFF. DOES NOT FOLLOW UP WITH ANYTHING..MANY EXCUSES AS TO WHY HE HAS LOST CONTACT. LATEST EXCUSE IS HIS HEALTH ISSUES WHICH IS NOT MY PROBLEM, BUT ITS AMAZ...ING HES WELL ENOUGH TO COLLECT RETAINERS FROM POTENTIAL CLIENTS. DONE WITH EXCUSES. I BELIEVE IN KARMA, AND IT WILL CATCH UP TO HIM!!

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.

I never hear from Sean Serpe unless he's making excuses and then only by e-mail. I hired him in 2010 for a modification, he dropped me in 2011 without any explanation until I threatened him with legal action. Meanwhile months had gone by without one word from him. He told me he had filed papers a...nd never did, wasting precious time.The attorney he turned my case over to, Julio Portilla, waited around for months and did nothing. He took money and did NOTHING. I have been patient and kind, knowing of Sean's health problems, but it's now over a year since he promised to return my retainer. I have a 96 year old Mother and my own health problems. I have had to hire another law firm at another fee and I still don't have my $3000.00 from Sean. Supposedly he worked things out with Julio Portilla. I am going to the Bar Association. And I am contemplating selling his "declaration of judgement" to a collection agency. Enough is enough. Sean, if you want to reply to this complaint, just send me a bank check and I will be happy to acknowledge it here.
