Hired Law firm 2026My appointment with Jeffrey Abbott was extremely helpful, Mr Abbott walked me thru the process and answered all my questions. He explained everything in detail as to what I needed to do and paperwork required to prepare for my filing I would definitely recommend Jeffrey to handle your legal affairs.

Hired Law firm 2023Absolutely worst law firm I have ever dealt with!! Went in for bankruptcy and paid retainer immediately even though I explained it may take a bit to get everything actually ready to file but wanted to be prepared and have any fees taken care of while I had the funds to avoid any issues at a later time. Later on in the year my mother passed away and left me an inheritance that left me unable to file bankruptcy as I had the funds to make arrangements going forward. The attorney I spoke with was very friendly and said if bankruptcy wasn't an option anymore they could issue a refund..I wanted a few months as instructed to give time for them to process the refund..then when reaching out to followup I kept getting a receptionist who would take a message and ensure a callback but none would ever come. This continued for 6MONTHS!! 2 -3 calls a week with not 1 return phone call. Finally after 6months someone finally responded and said they would work on it..when finally getting the refund they only refunded the filing fee and claimed ALL other funds were used for their services..majority of which being a charge for taking creditor calls..bear in mind..I hadn't even submitted the list of creditors..took the required credit class or anything beyond just a consultation. When calling to ask about the charges I got a very rude rep who wouldn't even identify herself but merely said you signed a contract and I don't know or care what anyone else told you..this is all your entitled to and hung up. Absolutely most unprofessional law firm/business I have EVER dealt with and I strongly advise anyone looking for representation to run FAR AWAY AND QUICK before considering retaining these crooks. They will only be responsive when it benefits them. Anything beyond that they will ignore messages, refuse callbacks and get attitude when you finally actually get someone on the line.

Hired Law firm 2020-2021I met with the lawyer 8 to 10 times each time he knew my situation but after I paid him in full and my job was eliminated in April. He tells me he cannot represent me due to I was separated from my husband and he came with me to the consultation, it would be a conflict of interest. I paid $1,800 and received a check for $300 in July. I had to call to request my tax records, paystubs and checking account statements.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
