I have had a horrible time with my Lawyer. He was extremley unhelpful after he recieved all of his money from me.
Here is my main problem when i filed i had 2 cars i had planned on keeping 1 and letting the other go the 1 i was going to keep is through ford motor credit. he told me i would sign the reaffirm at the 341 hearing(12/09/09) (his office is in the same complex as the court) so i went to his office to sign and he has the wrong reaffirmation paperwork (wrong vehicle) i told him it was wrong and he told me to contact ford and have them send the paperwork agian so i called them and they told me my lawyer said i did not want to reaffirm the car i told ford it was a mistake and they agreed to send the paperwork(12/10/09) I contacted my lawyers office agian on (12/23/09) the paralegal(lawyers girfriend now fiance)answered and said they are getting ready for the holiday and didnt have time to look she told me to call back the 29th and she would look. i called back the 29th she says they havent got the yet so i called ford back. Ford emailed the paperwork the 24th. I call the lawyer back agian and get the paralegal agian (1/7/10) and she says that she hasnt had time to look to call back agian the next day i call her the next day she forgot to look so i waited on the phone while she looked and she said it was there and i could come in and sign it so i set an appointment for (1/11/10). When i arrive for my appointment she says that they had run out of toner on friday and they havent gotten any more yet. she said she didnt want to call me because she thought she would have it before i got there (it is 100 miles round trip to the lawyers office) she says she will email the reaff papers to me and i can sign the and send them back to her for the lawyer to sign and send in. When i got home that day i did recieve the email and i printed them off and signed them and sent next day UPS back to them i know she recieved them on 1/14/10 and she signed for them so i thought ok everything is done. i have been checking the pacer website and nothing had gone through so i call her back on the 27th and she says she will have to look into it and call back the next day i call back on the 28th and the lawyer answers the phone i tell him what is goin on he says he will let me talk to the paralegal she gets on the phone and says she forgot to look into while i wait on the phone she comes back on the phone and says "here it is it is still in the envelope that you sent it in but i will git it to patrick and he will sign it today and mail it out this afternoon" they had it for 2 weeks and never looked at it. Later on that afternoon the lawyer calls me but he was trying to get ahold of another client he just dialed the wrong number so while i have him on the phone he says he signed it and it will go out today(1/28/10) i explain everytime that i talk to either one of them how important the reaff is because ford does not do ride throughs he says dont worry they will get in time. I call back (2/4/10) no one answers i leave a message explaining that it still hasnt gone through (on pacer) how important it is agian and that i will be discharged in less than 2 weeks. I dont hear anything back from them so i call them back on monday (2/8/10) and the paralegal says that they got the paperwork back last week because the lawyer did not fill out section d and that i have to sign new papers so i set up an appointment for the next day and i get up there and explain to him that i will be discharged by friday or monday so he has me me sign the papers but date them for the week before he does call the court and leaves a message to see if the will put a hold on my case until after the reaff comes through. i take the papers with me because i have to have my wife sign them she signs them and i overnight them directly to ford's lawyer. I call him back that afternoon to see if he has heard anything else from the court and he said they did not call him back.
i went on pacer today(2/12/10) and i am now discharged without being reaffirmed so they will probably be taking my car now even though i have never missed a payment.
so if any one has ever sued there lawyer or you think this would be a good suit please let me know
and remember they never called me if there was any problems i would always call them and just happen to find out about them
