AFTER HIRING THIS FIRM TO PERFORM A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY ON OUR BEHALF, WE ARE IN WORSE FINANCIAL SHAPE THAN WHEN WE BEGAN.
1st : WE WERE TOLD DURING THE ENTIRE EXPENSIVE PROCESS THAT WE COULD KEEP OUR CURRENT VEHICLES PROVIDED THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR PAYMENTS. JUST DAYS PRIOR TO THE DISCHARGE HEARING, WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT WE NEEDED TO SURRENDER THE VEHICLES AND THAT IT WOULD PROVE TO BE IN OUR BEST INTEREST. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE WERE DIRECTED TO SPEAK WITH A "BANKRUPTCY FRIENDLY" AUTO SALES COMPANY AND TOLD THAT WE COULD SECURE TRANSPORTATION VIA THAT COMPANY ON RECOMMENDATION FROM DOAN LAW. AS IT TURNED OUT, WE ARE NOW EXACTLY DOUBLE UPSIDE DOWN IN BOTH VEHICLES WITH ZERO OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO US.
2nd : AS THINGS CURRENTLY STAND, WE NOW HAVE 2 REPOSSESSIONS ON OUR CREDIT HISTORY AS A RESULT OF THEIR RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS PRIOR TO, OUR VEHICLE PAYMENT HISTORY WAS VERY GOOD.
3rd : ITEMS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS A RESULT OF THE CHAPTER 7 FILING ARE STILL PRESENT ON OUR CREDIT REPORT AND LISTED AS ACTIVE COLLECTIONS.
AND FINALLY, ALL OF THIS IS WITHOUT MENTIONING BEING CHARGED A MINIMUM OF $200 FOR ONE THING OR ANOTHER DURING THE COURSE OF THE FILING PROCEDURE.
AND NOW, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM AND ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN AND/OR CORRECT THESE ISSUES, WE ARE IGNORED. ADDITIONALLY, I FIND OUT JUST TODAY THAT THE OFFICE WHERE OUR CLAIM WAS 'HANDLED' HAS CLOSED IT'S DOORS.
THERE ARE REVIEWS ON YELP WHICH SUPPORT EVERYTHING I'VE SAID. I AM BEYOND DISGUSTED WITH A REVIEW WHICH STATED THAT DOAN LAW IS TOO BIG TO SUE.
I keep receiving threatening letters from Michael Doan, a "claimed" licensed Broker by the CA DRE and affiliated with the Loan Law firm. RED LETTERS are in the return window "YOU'VE BEEN SUED!". This is false and the claims and content of his letter are in direct violation of the CA DRE.
In 2013 we hired and paid for Doan's Law Firm to do our bankruptcy. We met with an attorney in the Escondido office and went through our interview, and was sent home to fill out all the paper work, once that was complete we met again with the attorney and give him all the paperwork completed of all our debts and assests. We explained out situation regarding our assest not having a title of any kind to prove that it was ours. We were told by the attorney that without a title it would be useless to include it in our bankruptcy as an asset. We explained to the attorney that it was our home, but we had asked many times for title if only to state that it was a Lifetime Estate. The attorney understood but explained that once again without title it was useless to include it as an asset. We also explained that we had a home here that my husband lived in as we were separated and have been for several years. The home was a boat that he lived on. We were told by the attorney that this home didn't have any value and therefore it couldn't be used. So with that being discussed and explained that we had no real assets that the trustee could use to satisfy any of our debts he would proceed with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy listing only the debts and no assets.
Prior to filing Bankruptcy our home in another state was taken from us by our children and we were left homeless or at least I was left homeless. Almost 2 years later, we decided that since our children would not give us our home back, we would file a suit to get our home back or they buy us out. The children's attorney brought up a fact that we did not include the home in our bankruptcy as an asset and therefore have no claim to it due to not informing the courts of our assets. We explained that we did tell the bankruptcy attorney about our interest in the home but that didn't stop the children's attorney to file a motion to dismiss our suit. The Judge ruled that we could open our bankruptcy to amend it with the assets and if the court saw fit to allow us to do this then we could go forward with the suit. Prior to the ruling I spoke to Doan's law firm and explained what happened and wanted to speak to the attorney that took care of us on our bankruptcy. I was informed that he was no longer with the firm and so I spoke to one of the owners or at least this is who he told I was. I esplained what happened and he didn't feel they did anything wrong that it was our fault that it didn't get included. I explained that I gave them all the information and that it was them who typed up everything and filed it. They were the ones who stated "no title no proof of ownership" it was a waste of time. We went to cour and the judged ruled that we could open the case include the assets and let the trustee decide it he wants to use it or exempt it..
I contacted the Law Firm of Doans and they wanted $2500 retainer not even talking about how they would take care of this and how much more they wanted. I explained that this was not our mistake but it fell on deaf ears. I hung up with the firm and decided to find someone else. When you make a mistake and especially when it is a large one like this it seems that you would work with people not try to take them to the cleaners. All we wanted was to clear this matter up, have our assets at the time of filing attached like it should have been so we could get what we had in our home so we could establish another home here. We are senior citizens, we are a limited income, I am under doctors care and need a home of my own not renting a room where there are roommates who don't understand critically ill. Why would you try and squeeze clients that were done wrong by asking for a large retainer? I feel that this firm doesn't care about their clients after the bankruptcy is over, or referrals from old clients. I believe that this firm has done so many shady things and they aren't reprimanded for what they have done wrong. Are they above the law?
