I have been dealing with Legal Helpers since Sept. Its now mid Dec. I wanted to file a simple Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (which STILL hasn't been filed). I retained them and paid them in full. After they recieved my last payment all forms of help stop! Except to send me letters asking for an additonal $299 which I had already payed.
I have had papers with the wrong social security number, wrong name, had one attorney writing me a letter addressing me as a male with my name spelled wrong. One saying they just didn't understand my pay stubs and could I just make a short 80 mile drive to the city of Milwaukee to explain this to them in person.
When I finally asked for my money back to hire a knowledgeable attorney and finally get this filed was I in for a surprise. I was told that I can't get my money back as they have already billed all the hours I have payed for. Even though the paperwork for the bankruptcy has been done WRONG by them twice I am supposed to pay them for there time. Very generous of me. I have no idea if or when this paperwork will ever get filed.
Honestly I have lost all faith that even if they were to handle this matter that it would be done properly. Just another case of a firm with too many lawyers not paying enough attention but sure willing to cash that check you send them. Good luck to anyone that retains this firm. I hope you can get yours done... I have also reported them to the BBB.
