Our first visit was great and left us feeling like this attorney was the one for us. After we paid our fees; however, things took a turn for the worse. We were told our case would be finished around November (our's was a simple cut and dry case). It wasn't even filed until late October and then only because I kept calling and bugging them. Two visits were with the original attorneys brother (part of the practice) and he didn't pass on information to Mr. Copeland (original attorney)

Gave me one figure for a budget then changed the amount to an amount that I could not afford. He knew my circumstances but seemed to be for the debtors rather then me as a client.

My husband and I were told We would have to pay around $200 a month to the bankruptcy court by Mr.Copelend.After retaining him his staff argued with both of us and the figure finally rose up to $600 a month for 5 years.After a year we could no longer keep up the payments and pay and the case was dismissed.His staff could never understand from the beginning that We did not have enough income to pay that much and they were consistently rude to us.They took advantage of us!

I paid $4800 to this firm only to constantly receive rude treatment from his staff.I constantly would ask to speak to Mr Copeland only to be asked why? I explained to him several times about his staffs rudeness but apparently he does not care. Now I have to start with a new attorney all over again and may lose my home because of this. I would never regiment this firm to not even my worst enemy.
