I think this is an excellent law firm. I have received outstanding service from them. I think the people who rate this firm poorly are not clients but rather debtors who owe money to clients of this law firm. I'm happy with them. read more

William and John were extremely difficult to work with and showed no interest in trying to resolve the matter, even when I was willing to pay immediately. It was very disappointing. During one conversation, John told me I was wasting his time, raised his voice at me, and the interaction became so upsetting that it brought me to tears. He showed no concern for how he was treating me. Once they learned I had been in escrow (even though the transaction ultimately fell through), their response was essentially that if I had money for escrow, then I had money to pay the debt. I was willing to pay the original balance and even reasonable interest because I understood it was my responsibility and I had not realized there was a lien in my name. The only person who treated me with kindness and professionalism was Emma, the paralegal. I explained everything that had happened to her and asked that the recorded calls between John and me be reviewed. This version keeps your concerns clear and professional while still conveying how upsetting the experience was. Please hire an attorney before contacting this company. read more

"If you're seeking hardship relief, my experience was that the law firm wasn't willing to discuss options and referred me to file with the court instead." read more

This "law firm" operates more like a debt collection agency than an actual firm focused on helping people. In my experience, they rely heavily on intimidation tactics and pressure to collect money. Be very careful when dealing with them, especially regarding the amount of "interest" they add onto debts. I spoke with, " Willian Saunders" & "Jon Carter" (if that is even their real name), they both came across as condescending and intimidating during conversations. My advice is to stand your ground and seriously consider speaking with your own attorney before communicating with this office. What made the situation worse was that while we were once in escrow, someone (the secretary) from the escrow company contacted them without my authorization and mentioned the escrow process. From that moment on, it felt like all they heard was "money." Their attitude completely changed. They basically said that if I was in escrow, then I obviously had the money to pay the debt immediately. The escrow eventually fell through, but the way this office handled everything was extremely aggressive and disappointing. I tried asking if they would work with me by reducing or removing some of the interest so I could responsibly resolve the debt, but they refused. I was even told they only really help people in extreme financial crisis situations. It's frustrating because I was genuinely trying to do the right thing and pay what I owed, but instead of working toward a fair resolution, the experience felt hostile and predatory. My advice: before speaking with this office, consult with an attorney who can represent your interests and help protect you from unnecessary pressure or intimidation. read more

My interaction began with William, I called frantic because I had a bill showing due that I thought I paid fully. But learned my employer actually did not send full amount. William was very helpful, well spoken and explained and walked me through getting everything cleared up. I later found out William S. Is actually a Manager. I thank him for his time in this matter. read more

These people will not work with you. I had a bad experience with them and they're still suing me even though my account was more than 10 years old and now they're garnishing my wages .and these people only are debt companies, but they still want to sue you. For being aware of these people they make stuff up. read more

Trash collection agency as someone else stated. They are so fraudulent and such scam artists. I am surprised they have not been busted yet. John is a bipolar liar who changes his word every time you speak to him. And they claim you owe more money than what they have written down. read more

A complete joke. This company is claiming I owe a debt from a company that I have an email from stating it was paid in full. They claimed I was served, but I've never been served anything in my life. They refuse to except the email as proof the debt was paid and said they went to court, I didn't and I owe them money. read more

They are a fraud company, harass and try to scare people on debt that you don't even know or where it even came from on companies that no longer exist, beware, sending court false documents. read more

Trying to collect on a 15yr old debt and sending false court papers and sending them with my car lenders name on the envelope. I contacted the court and the sheriff that supposedly served them and they are going to be contact this "lawyers" office.

Trash collection agency. They'll harass you and threaten you for false or out of statute of limitations debt.

They are so rude! Liars and claimed they served me and preceded to describe a short fat woman with different hair. I am having my attorney deal with them now! read more

First and foremost let me say that it is illegal what this so call Attorney at Law is doing. Based on the FCRA it is illegal for the original lender to sell your account. Now what this company did was supposedly I served by this company and they got a judgment to garnish my paycheck when I never received any court documents from this company. If you have an attorney that I can contact please feel free to send me the information so I can get them to stop this illegal garnishment. Thank you read more

I've been dealing with William Saunders who has been of great help. Very professional and a pleasant experience working with him to get things resolved. I highly recommend this company. Mark C. read more

PLEASE SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL IMMEDIATELY IF THIS COMPANY IS ATTEMPTING TO GARNISH WAGES OR BANK LEVY I received mail from my employer that the law firm Kenosian and Miele, LLP attempted to garnish wages. The first time I contacted this law firm after receiving the documents from my employer I was told by their representative/employee William Saunders that I had been sued by them for a past debt that I owed to Providian National Bank. I was told that this past debt was in the amount of 2, 949 this was supposedly from 2006 according to Mr. Saunders. The amount that Kenodian and Miele, LLP has obtained a judgement against me for was 11,921 dollars. According to Mr. Saunders the dept that I owe has become this high due to interest and fees accrued. Who added these additional fees and interest is unclear to me. Providian National Bank is no longer in business. I attempted to contact Providian myself to make sure that I actually owe them a dept and the number is no longer in service.This is the information where I attempted to contact Providian: Providian Financial Corporation 201 Mission Street San Francisco, California 94105-1831 U.S.A. Telephone: (415) 543-0404 Fax: (415) 278-6028 Web site: http://www.providian.com Now remember Kenosian and Miele, LLP is claiming that I owe them money based on an old credit card from Providan. Providian was sold to Washington Mutual in October of 2005. According to the Los Angeles Superior Court website Kenodian & Miele, LLP filed a judgement against me in 2006. This was the first filing I guess. They have been filing ever since for a total of 17 years!!! Each time adding fees and "interest" on a debt I don't even owe. It gets even better because Providian themselves even lost a class action suit for unethical financial practices and had to pay their consumers about 300 million dollars total. So maybe Providian actually owes me a check if this debt is real? So today (4/17/2024) I contacted Kenosian and Miele, LLP to gather more information about the so-called dept that I owed. I spoke with one of their representatives by the name of Susan. She declined to give me her last name stating "I am the only Susan in the office". She reports that I now owe them 12, 210.00 and they will be attempting to collect this debt by attempting to garnish my wages, or levy my bank account. She did not tell me the amount of the original dept, and maybe was not aware that Providian no longer exist, and was actually sued in a class action suit. She did claim however that they are collecting on the behalf of First Resolution Investment Corporation--I am unable to find contact information on this agency. When doing online research about Kenosian & Milele, LLP I found that I am not the only victim of their scams, they have done this to several other consumers and was even sued and lost to a consumer in 2018. I can only imagine the emotional and financial damage and stress this "law firm" has caused its victims. read more

I was never served court papers instead they served my minor son the papers ( not me ) and I had no idea about any levy. My question is how can you serve a minor court papers I never received any notice of a levy but yet you went ahead and did it without my knowledge. read more

This company is a fraud and I am looking into legal action. One the are not a law office they are a debt collector and put a levy against my bank account. I has 1 payment left my paperwork showed 1 payment left and they decided to add "court cost" I didn't ask you to work on this account nor did I approve you to buy this debt so yes I am looking legal actions to file against them once my account it paid off. read more

I have been using this law firm over the past 4 years for multiple issues. Not only did they reduce the settlement payoff, they were efficient and quick to do whatever they could to help. I would definitely recommend this law firm. I am a repeat customer. read more

Even when you do everything to try to make amends, Julie ignores you and won't return your emails/calls. BUT levy over $2100 out of your banking account and now there is no way to pay them OR other bills. My advice, retain a lawyer of your own, if you can, because trust me, they don't care. We are STILL not sure if this debt is ours, but for the sake of normalcy, agreed to make an arrangement until things can be sorted out. I'm not sure about you, but we can't afford to have $2100 taken out of our account on a monthly basis. I get they have a job to do, but all I can say is, karma is real and if it happened to us, who "used" to have great (700+) credit, it can happen to them or anyone else reading this. Maybe try some humanity, it goes a lot further. The only way to "fight" a law office is to have your own. Good luck to anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with them. read more

Well, this company has frauded a debt collection against me and my wife 9my wife doesn't even work). i was never served by mail or otherwise but yet they were able to get a judgment to levy my account without being served. On both my wife and me...my wife has no account! Through the global company i work for are attorneys are preparing a case against them and gathering additional information to file a class action lawsuit. I am also filing with the BBB a predatory and harassment claim against this law firm. i have called multiple times with no call back and the one time the phone was answered i was told "there is nothing you can do, we filled we won now you have to pay". Would not tell me who the debt was from or even if they owned it or any confirmation as to who and what o owed. Beware of this place...it is my mission to fix this for eevryone. read more

As of today's date (4/12/2021) the phone number for this organization (888-566-7644) has been disconnected. As of today's date, the phone number for the "debt buyer" they represent (Debt Management Partners, LLC @ 1-800-883-9067) has also been disconnected. Please keep in mind, checking accounts are typically FDIC insured and you are not held liable for fraud. At this time, I am unable to verify whether or not this organization is fraudulent and have moved forward with notifying my bank. Personally, I document everything - even the phone calls that lead nowhere. If in fact this organization is legitimate, they have made it impossible to communicate with them and that is no fault of my own. I encourage everyone to share their stories and come together as a community in order to counter act the confusion these individuals are purposely cultivating. read more

If this place ever calls or sends mail to your home DO NOT CALL THEM! I recommend having someone help you run your credit to see if the debt is still on your credit .. with new laws many people have seen past debts disappear. Learn from me I could've kept the 4,000 i paid in my savings but I didn't do my part in investigating. They threatened me saying there was a lean on my name and my social security number frozen. They do this scare you into paying them off. Please hear me out and seek for advice before calling them and giving up any amount of money. read more

Mr. Kenosian and Mr. Miele did a fine job representing me in several legal transactions. I am entirely satisfied with the service I received from them. I am startled to see all the negative reviews here on Yelp but maybe these are people who are not clients but rather respondents of the firm. Mr Kenosian has donated his time to make Living Trusts for people who can't afford them. He is a noble guy and he serves his clients well. read more

This Company worked with me to resolve my issue and I was wary because of how many bad reviews I read!

Every scenario is different. read more

I just happened to find these guys in the inquiry section on my credit report, I've never had contact with this company and have no idea why they are on my report. The number on file o called 800) 695-9478 takes me to Victoria Secret credit card services which I've never had an account with them or even applied.

My husband and I have debts that we are more than willing to pay. We've worked with a debt management company for two years now. I understand that it is the business of Kenosian & Miele to collect as they were retained to do so. What I don't understand is the scare tactic, the unwillingness to listen and the unwillingness to be a little more flexible with a settlement. We are in the midst of a global pandemic. I have a long term illness and 5 kids to care for. I am a Christian woman and believe that It is only right to pay back my debts but I wish these people would have a bit more humanity when working with their clients. I have never written a bad review but I'd say be cautious before retaining this firm. We all want what is owed to us but how many people are you willing to make suffer to get it? I'd prefer none. read more

I had to update my Yelp review. After a year of dealing with this company, I FINALLY was able to contact people who were nice and willing to help me. I spoke to a Jackie and Jennifer who were so nice and helpful to me. They finally told me that I could write a letter stating that I was no longer represented by an attorney, so that I could pay my judgment. Before this, everyone I ever spoke to for an entire year while trying to pay this debt was rude and said they couldn't speak to me only my lawyer. When I called to pay, I spoke to a William S. and he was absolutely terrific. I wanted to get the payment to them that day, he told me I could use money gram. I was very hesitant but he gave me his full name and his personal direct line to call if I had any issues. I was able to pay with the money gram and by the end of the work day, my balance was $0 and paid in full. I'm not sure why some of the people at this firm treat you like you're the worst of the worst. We ALL run into financial hardships. And it's amazing what can happen when people are nice and helpful to each other. read more

Horrible people, I called and tried to make full payment on what was owed. Asked them to give me a few weeks to get a loan. When I called back with the payment they stated since I can pay that they want an extra 4800.00 for damages??? And filed a judgment. This company is greedy and does not work with anyone. read more

A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST THIS JOKE OF AN ATTORNEY.

Morgan "account rep" told me this morning they aren't in the business of customer service. How nice is that!?! read more

Okay, so here's my honest review so far. Before I start, I want to identify that most the people commenting and complaining actually on this Yelp review have a debt they owe to this firms client. The reason they are giving one star is that they are pissed that they have to pay this debt back and wage garnishments are being issued against them. What's really occurring is a lack of accountability for what they have done and the unwillingness to want to repay. That being said, here you go. I was served a summons on a loan I defaulted on over two years ago. When I defaulted I had a different perspective on life and had no intention on paying once I defaulted. Since then, I have changed my life and have been paying back all of the money I owe to corporations and people. We'll call this an amends to my creditors. I can't tell you that when you make this shift these people and everyone else treat you differently. I am on track to pay back my loan debt with a few fees added in from the past two years which really aren't bad. In actuality, I will be paying out less on my repayment of the money borrowed than I would have on the interest terms I initially accepted. So, I am actually paying less on the initial terms of the loan from two years ago. I'm on a payment arrangement that meets my needs and will have the original lender and this firm paid within 20 months. If anything changes in a negative way, I will update this post. I don't believe I will need to. Don't believe all these haters and the comments they are leaving. If you read between the lines they are really saying, Fuck the man! I will borrow money from whoever will lend it to me and if I can I'll pay them back and if they come after me I'll piss, moan, complain and make them wrong. Have some integrity people and stop being a self-imposed victim of the problems you create for yourself. Take ownership and take charge of your own life. Good luck to anyone who sees the value in taking ownership over your destiny, and see's the value in keeping your side of the street clean. Thank you to the staff at Kenosian & Miele for being kind enough to work out something that works for me and my family. And thank you for being professional and courteous, we even had a few laughs! Sincerely, Justin read more
