Hired Attorney

This guy is dumb. He peruses dockets but does not read them. He sent notice of bankruptcy to me not even paying attention that it was not for me, it was for a relative. That should tell you right away that guy is predatory, does not care about privacy since that is my relatives business, and is just plain dumb that he does not fact check who he sends this stuff To.
