legal helpers reviews and complaints

We hired Legal Helpers to do our bankruptcy and got an attorney named Mona G. We would get her all our paperwork and wouldn't hear from her for over a month and when we did our paperwork needed to be current and I would send it again and again and again...We did this for over 9 months! We even had to take the pre counseling class twice because Mona didn't do anything in a timely manner and the first one took expired after 6 months! We had to fight to get a waiver for the 2ND class as they wanted us to pay for it again! They kept telling me things were missing, not current blah blah blah! After complaining to Chicago, the manager of the Seattle office took over our case and guess what- we were in court with in 2 weeks! We were being sued by 3 of the creditors, threatened for wage garnishments and judgements on our records on top of the bankruptcy because Mona couldn't pull her head out of her #@$! THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS A NIGHTMARE! No one has ever heard of bankruptcy taking more than a year! Legal helpers was great when we had the right attorney. Tread Carefully

Richard Suh made us lose everything. Our car and house. He refused to sign a refermation papers even though we have made all of our house and car. All we wanted was are credit cards we couldn't keep up and pay. We have no idea what he looks like because he did't show up at court. We were told by one of the other lawyer that we would't lose our house or car. He also, refused to talk with us. He always had us talk to the legal aid and always put us off, very patrinizing. My husband and I are both handycapped and this is a hardship for us. We were going to try for a loan modification but the bank won't do anything unless the lawyer signs the reaffirm papers. We are trying to make an appointment to see the judge but we don't know how to do that.We feel we were misrepresented by this lawyer and the company he works for. They took our money and ran. Thank you for your time. Our email is [protected]@comcast.net. Our phone number is [209]467-7223. Our names are Don and Cathy Rathjen.

I had to file bankrupted chapter 13 because I made too much money to file chapter 7. My paycheck was being garnished $400 every two weeks. I paid Macey & Allman $2500 up front because they said it would only cost me $200-$250 every two weeks. Once the case was filed the bankrupsey Trustee is garnishing my check $600 every two weeks. My bills are not getting paid. My house is in foreclosure. Any day now I expect to be put out on the street. My lawyer now says it wasn’t a feasible case to take. The way they present themselves is fraud. I am contacting the Attorney Generals office.

I am filing a complaint against LEGALHELPERS on behalf of my boyfriend who cannot read or write, he is disable.
He was rushed by LEGALHELPERS into signing up with them telling him that their fees are low and that in fact they are the lowest fees, when in fact it is a lie.
He is on SSI disability income. On August 13, 2009 he had signed up for their bankruptcy service and the next day I had called them and told them that I will be cancelling their service because I had found out that there is another attorney I could hired for less and at that time I was promised that I would get back $500.00 back and they will keep a $100.00 for their fees. My boyfriend had given them $600.00 down payment in cash.
My new attorney had faxed over the cancellation letter on 08/19/09 to cancel the service.
The next day 08/20/09 I had called LEGALHELPERS for confirmation of the cancellation letter and was confirmed that they had received the cancellation letter and I was told that they will refund $500.00 back to me.
Then on 08/25/09 I had received a call from LEGALHELPER, a person by the of name KERRY left a message to call her.
I had called her the following morning 08/26/09 at 7:30 and spoke to KERRY and she says that they cannot give us back the $500.00 only a little of money to be given back to us. She says they are charging attorney’s fees of $250.00 and I says that they did not do anything and I was promised $500.00 back, KERRY ‘s says that nobody in their office had promised me back $500.00.
I told her then that I will be filing a complaint with BBB.
Also should I file a complaint with the State Bar of California association?
Please let them know that I am demanding $500.00 refund.
I would greatly appreciate your help, thank you for your time and you have a great day.
