Ok like I said I found this guy on Craigs List Hudson Valley, New York. I needed some legal papers revised for the Supreme Court in NY. I was trying to get the work as cheap as possible. A lawyer would have charged me 2 or 3 thousand to rewrite my legal papers for the court. I dont have that kind of money so I went on craigsList to see if I could find a New York attorney that would take payments. I live in Maryland and can not go to New York often. I put an add in Craigs List for and attorney in Orange County NY.
This guy so called John Sovak Document Doctor LLC. Sole member sends me this email sure I do legal work in Orange County NY. Supposedly was a paralegal. He talked a good line or crap. I charge a rate of $45 an hour to draw up court papers of all kinds. He said the max for me would be $450.00. I checked around for complaints couldnt find him on any BBB records etc. I asked him if I needed to sign a contract I would go to NY if I did, Oh no he says let me write up all your papers then I will overnite them for you to sign and have notorized and overnite them back to me. He sounded lagit so i sent him $450.00 money order along with the papers I needed to be changed and all the right documents. I used USPS I certified, insured and all to send them to him at his address 31 Park Ave Suite A, Suffern, NY 10901.. I did not here from him for a while two maybe 3 weeks. I was getting worried so I called him and emailed him seveal times for a week nothing no answer at all. Now that was in OCT. Finally a couple of days after Thanks Giving I was really upset. I called and emailed again. Nothing then I called the Post Office in Sufferen NY they said the papers were there they were waiting to be pick up they had to be signed for. Well now I am worried and mad. I called him several times more and emailed him to. Finally I get an email no papers yet where are they he was very hasty in the email. I emailed back and told them the USPS had them he had to go and sijgn for them. Ok I said maybe he went away for the holiday no biggee I told myself. Thats why he did pick up the mail. After that no contact again. A few days later I got an email got your package.
Now its mid Dec. No contact yet. I have nothing to send to the court Now I am just plainlly p/d off. I called the Rockland county Sherriff in NY. I talkes to a desk person. They never heard of the business or the name at all mind you this is a tiny hamlet eveybody knows everybody. I used to have family thay lived there so I what it is like. Now it is early Dec I call and and email several more times the we are coming to New York on Dec, 22 to visit family and I am stopping at his office to see where my money and paper work is. No call or e mail yet. After that call just 2 days later he sends me back my paper work and money order. Also my uncle checks him out hes does this all the time collects money up front. Hangs on to the payment for as long as he can hoping whoever sent it will not ask for it back or call him. Then he will cash the payment in right befroe the money ordered date that it will be voided. Beware of Craigs List any where in the country. And most of all Watch out for DOC DOC LLC IN SUFFERN NY, sorry for no paragrahs lousy spekking to.
