I found a complaint on the Website Complaints Board on July 10th, 2 days after I gave Delkash & Assoc. A check for $1,000 and committed to $3,000 more in 45 days.
I called that day to cancel. I wanted to look into the company a little more. I had previously requested some more recent testimonial letters than the ones they had in their office notebook, and they hadn't showed them to me. I stopped payment on the check I'd given them as well. The people I spoke to tried to talk me out of it, but were very nice about it. I really just wanted a little more time to investigate the company, and didn't want to rush into anything.
A few days later I got a call from Omid "Ed" Delkash himself. He was annoyed with me and accused me of posting the complaint about the company myself. He said I most have posted it because I was asking him the same questions that were talked about in compaint. He accused me of defamation of character, etc. And threatened to sue.
He admitted to the incorporation date (not that it's a crime) but it annoyed him that I asked. He told me he'd "gone all out on spending for his new office, only the best - and I was really missing out on a good thing by cancelling my contract".
He told me "as much time as he and his staff had spent on me thus far, he should charge me $1,000.
He promised to return all my paperwork, he said he "would even pay for the postage". Gee thanks - I guess. He left a bad taste in my mouth and I was glad I'd cancelled after I talked to him.
He's not an attorney, but I guess the attorney who just arrived from Ill.; and who just passed the Ca bar, makes it a "Law Office" with her presence.
The other people I talked to seemed very nice. I believe Nancy and Rob whould have done a good job if given the chance.
They probably should keep Delkash out of the public eye and maybe consider a DBA. Delkash doesn't seem to have the best reputation. Since I started looking I've found posts from people he screwed while working for Liberty Mutual, as well as posts from people who knew his exwife well enough to say some pretty nasty personal things.
Maybe it's not a scam. It doesn't look like the company has even been in business long enough to prove itself. Maybe it's just a new company.
Maybe use the name of a real lawyer and keep Delkash's name out of it. He's got to expect people to run a search on it. There isn't one Delkash on the California state bar. Unfortunately Delkash does not bring an unblemished name to the company name and people are bound to find that out as well.
