Filing for bankruptcy is a humiliating experience, a last resort to try and right the ship. My…read morewife and I dragged our fragile egos into Mr Croaks office to file our paperwork. He had an associate that seemed to have a decent personality, so despite the cluttered, filthy office, we proceeded. This began one of the worst experiences of my life. We paid around $5k to get treated worse than stray dogs. We needed a couple of amendments to our original claim. Croak barked at us and turned his back to us while he did us the favor of filing the necessary paperwork. We were talked down to, had phones and doors slammed on us. Faxes that were sent were ignored by the office until we called to see if they were received. I bit my tongue for years until we paid off what we owed, but we are out of this mess. This man has no personality, seems to dislike people and needs to hang it up. He also lost the associate that did have some people skills. I will credit him with one thing, I will never get myself into a bankruptcy situation again because of the inhumane treatment I received from this office. I would rather drive my car off a cliff. I'll end with a Seinfeldism....the jerk store called, they're running out of you.

Quite possibly the worst experience you could ask for. Provided all information requested, and he…read morealready couldn't keep track of what was given back to him. I asked a basic question on his process over the phone, and he began screaming, literally screaming, about how the officers are "c***suckers" and the court system will tell you to "**** off" and that if you have any questions you should go find a "country club" lawyer who will charge me $595 and tell me to give up. These are verbatim words after he took my credit card details. I called back to calmly let him know I will be going to a different attorney, and he said "**** off" and hung up and blocked my number. I wish I was making this up but I am not. I haven't seen my credit card charged yet, but wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do that.

I just want to ask how video of a individual is enough to prove that is the person in question?…read moreWhen to verify we ate who we are we are I'd by our numbers social and id numbers, dob third party is no evidence none credible. Is it fair to say that even video or voice is not enough to say that can prove it to be an individual. We can't go to dss or get our social security help without answering that info for them to prove that is me mother's maiden name. In all reality third party is valid. And DNA not 100 % n there are million of more peowhen it come to point % .% in order to be you exactly it has to be 100% not 99.9 or 99.7, 99.5. Word alleged means in dictionary NO EVIDENCE (WORD OF MOUTH )) SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE JUDGE. HOW ABOUT THE LAW CANT COMMITT CRIMES TO PROVE CRIMES. Another thing false advertisement is that what the law says against the law? So why was I kidnapped detained imprisoned kids in danger feared threatening extorted etc. With out being found guilty before a judge and jury. I wanna be the first to sue wanna be my lawyer kiss
