My family hired Sunny Barkats to provide legal counsel and establish a fund that could be used to make collateralized loans to small companies in a way that would protect the capital. I noticed at first the only companies that Sunny would approve loans to where companies he had personal relationships with. Then we noticed that within the term sheets he was presenting on behalf of our fund, he was forcing companies to draw down lines of credit with huge interest rates as a condition of closing, from well-known shady financiers in an almost blatantly obvious kickback scheme. Whenever we would check on the account Sunny would say that we were making money, or that things were "going great!". But we became suspicious about his character and integrity and decided to request a full accounting OF OUR OWN MONEY. We then went to the bank which held our funds to find out over $125,000 was gone! When Sunny was confronted with this he then began to spin a web of lies. He admitted that he provided a loan to another lawyer WITH OUR MONEY AND TOTALLY UNAUTHORIZED! We then came to discover Sunny J Barkats had gotten a debit card made which was tied directly to our fund (that he was supposed to oversee), and spent thousands of dollars on personal dinners, drinks, entertainment - all completely unauthorized and totally without our knowledge! Sunny has still refused to provide us with a full accounting and instead has chosen to not return phone calls, messages, or provide us with any reimbursement. We are now forced to sue JS Barkats PLLC and Sunny Barkats and hope to recover the funds that Sunny STOLE and used for his own lavish hard partying lifestyle.Anyone looking to hire Sunny or his firm in whatever capacity should be aware that Sunny Barkats is a DISHONEST ATTORNEY and we think he should be disbarred and we plan to file complaints to the State Bar of NY. We hope this provides anyone looking to hire Sunny with a cautionary red flag that will hopefully save them from making a horrible mistake like us when we hired Sunny Barkats and his untrustworthy firm. DO NOT TRUST SUNNY J BARKATS.
