so i scheduled an appointment at their office, and that day i met a attorney named john t. steinkamp. once there at the appointment he went over the proceedings with me, but never explained to me what kind of questions that the trustee was going to ask about the bank accounts.

so with that said i paid his office 1,000.00 to have my case filed with the bankruptcy courthouse here in indianapolis indiana, which was later found out that it was never filed on the day it was supposed to be.

so i attempted to call his office about my case and to find out when it was going to be filed, the attorney told me it was going to be filed on 11/8/2010, but it was never filed. i did call the office several times in one day and in one week to find out what was going.

finally the attorney called me back stating that i was harassing his paralegals, and hanging up on them. i proceeded to tell him that the only reason i was calling was to find out about my case.

so to make a long story short, i called him back on 11/13/2010 and asked for my money and papers back. i went there to his office yesterday 11/17/2010 to pick up my papers and my check. once i left thats when i opened my check and found out to my amazement that he only provided me with 400.00. he took 600.00 for his fee, his paralegals fee, and for himself. he scammed me.

now remember i paid this attorney 1,000.00 for his services, but he only gave me 400.00 back - thats wrong. he did not file when he said he was going to, and i never harassed any paralegal of his. so right now i am taking him to small claims court for an additional 231.00 to make up for the difference.

i was ripped off and scammed. he did not do his job correctly, and he never let his client (that was me) know what was going on. he was asking to many personal questions about my bank accounts. i think i deserve at least another 231.00 to 300.00.
