Are you satisfied with your attorney?

[InOverHead]

Absolutely NOT. I am still amazed at the pre vs post payment communication. Right now, two days in and still waiting for a return call - and this call i am waiting on is just to remind him to send an email of what exactly he filed like he promised 8 days prior. My message certainly deserved a response. The VM i left " Hi Henry, This is ____, Last we spoke you hung up on me while i was mid sentence, stating you had another call. I had been waiting/thinking you would call back as that is generally what i expect when one gets off the phone so abruptly. Anyway, PLEASE call me back as soon as you get this message."

So far i feel duped. It's like i payed now, so what. If everything goes smoothly with the 341 and remainder of case then i will be alright. If all this poor communication/lack of concern ends up being general ineptitude - He will have made an enemy and i will do everything in my power to slander his reputation.

and that is what I have to keep telling myself too :-)

My thing always is the lack of communication...

Same here. Whether I e-mail or call, it's usually at least 24-48 hours before I get an answer. I guess what seems urgent to me is business as usual for them.

I was very unhappy with my first attorney. Never met him - he was part of a popular mill here in Fl. I dropped them when they were barred from filing BK's a few months ago.

I'm very very happy with my new attorney. Office staff is great. He's straight to the point kind of guy.

I actually had a great one. Very young but sharp and personable. Everything was handled promptly and accurate paperwork submitted. I admit I was nervouse when he put my expenses higher than the standards because being under median, I didn't need him to do that. Sorta felt dishonest. He assured me the trustee would not even blink, it would be over in 2 minutes and was absolutely right!!

I was discharged and closed yesterday with NO problems.

Hope yours all work out for you!!!!

The attorney I am using for my 7 is much more responsive than the one I used when I filed my 13

[kakdbass]

Ha! We haven't even spoken to our attorney. Everything in our case has been handled by paralegal, except for our 341 meeting, where a fill-in attorney showed up late causing us to get bumped to the bottom of the docket (we were listed as #7..grrrr). Luckily, our case is going smoothly with only a couple of objections by our trustee at the 341 that have already been amended. We are using what some call a "bankruptcy mill" and so far it hasn't come back to bite us on the butt! KNOCK ON WOOD.

I did shop around and must say that I am now regretting my decision with this clown. I sat down with him a few months back and told him (prior to filing) that I wanted to go elsewhere because of an absolute lack of response from his staff on my questions, etc. He then spent 2 HOURS with me later in the evening to review everything and put together a game plan. Then they filed the OLD version of the paperwork!

After I approached him on this, he backtracked and told me flat out, "I was just trying to get you into a certain mind set, not that I was actually going to try that technique!". Which HE BROUGHT UP at the 2 hour meeting.

Again, poor support staff, lies, and cover-ups.

I will not put out his full name (Lozano), but I am not pleased at all with this low integrity clown.

Curious if others were having better success with their attorneys?
