Sheriff Sale - Must hold em off!!

I'm so glad it helped, Gopher! That really pissed me off, the way they did you. And lil Miss DeVille the office manager... pffft. Oooh that burns me. It's not you personally, Gopher; it's just people who take advantage of the obviously disadvantaged have a special place in hell, as far as I am concerned.

As for being overwhelmed, they are only TRULY overwhelmed when they don't have time to take your check to the bank. A few weeks, sure, whatever. But four months?

I'm glad yours was at least helpful and polite, Demismom, which probably made it easier for you, but at some point it becomes unethical to accept work that one is well aware one can't complete in anything close to a timely fashion. At least it worked out for you and you didn't miss any deadlines. I read more than one disciplinary action that involved an attorney causing a client to miss deadlines and suffer loss, primarily through negligence though one was deliberate (atty withheld client files until client could no longer take action against a 3rd party with whom the atty was affiliated) and the court was *none* too happy with that.

Thanks FreshLikeADaisy - Friday about 1:30pm I called the firm and asked for my attorney. When I talked to him I said to cease & desist all services and that I will be in to pick up the refund and original papers. Thing is FreshLikeADaisy, even though I was treated like crap by the paralegal and office 'wannabe' manager, I still told my attorney I have no issue with him. He acted professional as he should. It's just the derilicts he has working for him. And because of that, someday it will cost him his business!!

So as of now, I have NO attorney. Despite that, I feel better. I called and talked to a few who said once I pay in full they see absolutely no reason to file within 3-5 days. MY LORD thats all I was asking for in the first place.

Anyway, I will say that it is because of people like you and this forum that I feel better about my choice knowing you all were/are in the same boat.
Thanks again! Happy Holidays!

YAAAAAY!!!!! I'm so glad it's finally working out for you!!!!

And yeah, when you're in deep water, getting rid of a safety vest that weighs 300 lbs is ALWAYS going to make you feel better; whether you end up sinking or swimming at least you're not carrying that dead useless weight...
