Price Law Group may sound sympathetic to your situation when you call, but go somewhere else! They offer bad advice, poor quality of services, and steal your money! At least that's what happened to me.
Here's an excerpt from the email I sent them to complain:
"I learned today that I am many months away from the protection of a bankruptcy filing.in our previous conversations, I was NOT TOLD that you would file the bankruptcy only after I was completely or almost completely paid in full on the $200 per month schedule we agreed to. I made it clear that my primary reason for filing this bankruptcy was that I had a creditor who got a judgment against me, and they were coming after my bank account information within the next 30 days. Only today I learned that many months of payments would be required before I was protected against this action. This is not the urgent protection I'm in need of, and I would not have hired you if I was informed of this. For this reason, I would especially appreciate a refund of the $200 deposit I made."
The lawyer would not refund my money. He felt that the paperwork his assistant had filled out (with multiple mistakes—including having me $65,000 in debt more than I actually am) warranted his "earning" this money. His response to my concern over the mistakes in the paperwork was that it didn't matter. Not even an apology or an offer to make it right. And he quickly went back to trying to convince me to lose my house in this bankruptcy, even after I explained to him that I made my decision to keep it. My home is not behind on payments, it's an inexpensive place to live, and I'm staying. He didn't respect that, and kept trying to convince me that the couple of extra free months he could get me in a foreclosure would be worth losing my home over. I'm not even sure that he COULD get me that extra time. Likely inaccurate information, and generally just bad, bad advice.
I spoke with the Human Resources/complaint department, and was given the same answer. No refund because he feels he deserves the money for the work he already put in. Most of us don't get paid for poor, inaccurate and downright misrepresentation of our services. But he does.
Did I receive a retainer agreement before making this payment? No.
Did I ever agree to or sign the retainer agreement, once it was received? No.
Am I able to receive what I was offered? No.
He just managed to steal $200 from a person that is in financial trouble. I'm now trying to dispute this through the credit card I paid with... The bank has it listed as "services not as described." Exactly! I needed immediate help, and they tricked me into making a payment that would never result in the immediate help I was buying.
