Lori Ross took over my bankruptcy case when I was disabled and unable to work. She demanded $450 up front (which I had to borrow).
Out of the blue, I get a letter from the court saying that Lori Ross has requested to be removed as my attorney. I contacted Lori Ross. She said that I was not cooperating with her since I had not made it to a doctor's appointment (because I had been sick! I had rescheduled and at that point I had made the appointment). I explained this to Lori Ross and she said that she would withdraw her request to be removed as my attorney but that I had to pay her another $300! So I borrowed another $300 and gave it to her.
Next thing I know, I get a letter from the court that Lori Ross has been removed as my attorney per her request! I contacted Lori Ross outraged that she had lied to me. She claimed that she had gone through with being removed as my attorney (with no reason why) but had contacted another attorney and that he had agreed to take over the case for no additional money because she had given him the $300 I have her.
I contacted this other attorney, David Graban, and reiterated what Lori Ross had told me, that he was taking over the case and no more money was needed and he made an appointment with me. At the appointment, Graban denied ever agreeing to take over the case, refused to take the case and demanded $50 for the "consult."
To me this is extremely unethical behavior by these attorneys! Don't trust them!
