I paid all my money which was 2500 but when it came down to me calling them it was impossible to get a response back. They would not return calls or emails and in the end my case was re-assigned three times. They assigned me to attorney Annie Edmond who was also a complete nightmare. From the moment I first laid eyes on her she was in a posture that read I don't want to be here. I was not prepared for mediation at all. When I arrived I didn't even know what my attorney looked like no one even bothered to ask me what I wanted prior to mediation nothing was discussed. When I was bothered the day of mediation and expressed my frustrations to Annie Edmond of the lack of communication and my constant efforts to contact the firm via e-mail and phone with no response her attitude was disgusting. She spoke down to me and this is the person that is supposed to have your best interest and be representing you. When she said to me "Well what do you want me to do chase you around all day?" because I said two calls during my work hours last minute prior to mediation was unacceptable she rolled her eyes and so it went downhill from there. She withdrew from my case leaving me with no lawyer and a total loss of $2500. Not only did she do the worst imaginable to me but she also lied and said I fired her. So she also lied on top of that and cost me a whole lot more that I had to pay with the opposing party as a result of her misconduct and complete lack of respect for me the paying client. I advise you and warn you in advance do not go with this lady unless you want to be taken advantage off. Horrible a complete nightmare and I feel so violated, I regret the day I went to this firm and they assigned me this despicable woman. The firm tried to get me to agree to lies and to agree never to write reviews or speak on the matter by offering me a pathetic $500 refund out of my 2500, hush money. I did not accept of course and lost it all. I am losing the case with my daughter as a result of all the mess this caused me, heart broken doesn't even begin to explain what I feel.
Use caution when doing business with this firm, they use be called KEL attorneys, I did business with them a few years back and got taken. I called KEL and spoke to a " Intake paralegal" he called me back a few days later and stated I needed to retain them immediatley, I paid a flat fee for one year representation - found out later that I didn't need to reatain them until I was actually served papers-which was nine months after I retained them.
Resarch the firm and consult with other firms before retaining them. All they did was change thier name after they got reprimanded by the Florida bar. A paralegal should not call you and procure the business.
I signed with kel and ended up with lawyer asap they allowed a trustee to take my full refund after telling them i did not want it to happen. After signing up with kel, i heat from them in months. I tried contacting them, still nothing. I ended up googling them and found out that they went kel anymore. I had already paid all of my money. Later own, i decided to go to the office. It was vacant. Someone that was walking by asked me who was i looking for. I told them Kel. They said they moved and i was devastated. Then they told me where. I went to the new office to see what was going on and they said that lawyer asap took over my case. I wanted out at this point with a refund. They basically told new it was too late. I felt at this point i put to much money in and there was nothing i can do. Do i met up with several people from the office who i signed documents with. I specifically told them i did not want my refund check taken. The reassured me it would not be taken and had me sign documents telling me that a lot of papers to sign so just sign them and they will explain letter basically what it said. Later on we went to a 314 meeting and a man i never seen represented me. He found even know much about my case. I was dissatisfied with the results once i found out they would garnish my income tax refund. They then told me there was nothing they can do. I have started the process in February of 2016. I paid them almost $3000 for everything. After knowing that my refund check taken. Menglett told me he intentionally waited for my refund check time to file. I did not agree to that. I am now looking at more debt and i need help to stop them. I did not want this and they promised it wouldnt happen. They took full advantage of me and now I am suffering from depression. I have really bad headaches from stressing. I dont know how i would further take care of my children. Someone (lawyer) please help. I tried to file bankruptcy because i was in debt. I am possibly in more debt. They took everything i have and told me its my problem now. The trustee filed an intercept form and now i have to pay around $6778.04 that i am not agreeing to. Irs supposed to send it to mr webber before me and i am devastated. This is not helping, but hurting me. They used me and took full advantage. And i paid a total of what will soon be $10,000 just to file bankruptcy. HEEEELLLP!
I attended a free consultation with this law firm and I was told how I qualified for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I paid over 700.00 and I was informed that I won a case from a violation of a credit card company trying to collect a debt from me while under representation. This entire process was filled with VERY LITTLE communication and LONG and UNPRODUCTIVE phone hold times and pass offs to wrong departments. I left numerus messages and rarely did I receive any call backs. I later accepted a job offer which took me out of the state of Florida and I communicated this with the firm.
After 2 months, I contacted the firm and they told me that they closed my case because I moved to another state which I had not. To this day, I am still a resident of Florida and was simply waiting on direction regarding my case. The basically told me SCREW YOU and stated that they were not reopening my case because I moved to another state because I communicated with them pleading for direction.
These people basically stole money from me and did nothing but send out letter of representation to creditors.
I WILL NEVER recommend this firm to anyone EVER for anything. These people NEED to be stopped and removed from this business ASAP. I want to sue them as they just closed my case without ANY notice because they claimed I had moved to another state. I did mention I would be relocating in a few months but I NEVER told them I moved to a different state, I just began a new job which took me out of state with a possible relocation down the road.
I retained the services of Lawyer ASAP, also known as KEL, to perform a simple name change service. They quoted my $950 dollars, as well as a $420 dollar money order for filing fee's.
Almost a month later, I had not heard from them, despite repeated emails from me to individuals in their office. On more than one occasion, I spoke with the girls at the front desk, one of which actually was able to give me the status of my account there. She confirmed for me, that after a month, nothing had been done.
At that point, I went into the office and requested a refund on the monies I had paid to date. That was half of the retainer, along with the $420 dollar MO for the filing fee's. I was told to email a request to their account closing email address, which I did. 2 days later I received a call from one of their people, who told me that we could start immediately, and everything would be wrapped up within a couple of days. I am not sure how they could have done that so quickly, considering my account had not been touched in over a month. Not to mention, I still needed to do a background check, and have finger prints taken, before any filing with the clerk could have been done. I reaffirmed I just wished to get my money back, since they had performed ZERO work on my account to date.
Several weeks later, after hearing nothing from them, I again asked the lady at the front desk about my account. She informed me there was a review scheduled, and that it would take 8-12 weeks after the review to receive any refunds. She mentioned that when the review was completed I would get a letter with the results.
I received the letter today, and was informed they would be keeping the $500 that had been paid to the retainer, and did not even mention the $420 money order. They treated it like it did not even exist. So, to date, I am out $920, for a $420 name change, which they have done ZERO(0) work on after months. At this point I cannot even do the name change on my own, because of all the money I have tied up with this unscrupulous legal firm.
