BROAD AND CASSEL BILLED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR INCOMPETENT WORK ON A SIMPLE DEBT COLLECTION CASE Miami Florida
My wife and I hired Broad and Cassel ("Broad") for a simple note collection case. The case was to collect the money owed on a $300,000 note on which no payments had ever been made. A simple case, yes? Nonetheless, Broad totally botched this case and charged us well over $100,000 for its incompetent efforts to collect on the unpaid note.
As a direct result of Broad's incompetence, Broad received well over $100,000 from us, and we received nothing from the debtors. The people who owed us $300,000 got away without having to pay us one penny. But, Broad made sure to collect over $100,000 from us for their incompetent services.
Some of the mistakes Broad made were so basic that we doubt that a first year law student would have made them. For example, Broad filed a Motion for Sanctions too early, and the Motion was therefore denied. This caused delays in our case, which, in turn, gave the debtors enought time to hide their assets and become judgment proof. A most basic, stupid error on the part of Broad.
Broad also added my wife to the creditors list when one of the defendants in the note collection case filed bankruptcy. However, the debtor had not listed my wife as a creditor. As a result of Broad's stupidly and incompetently having listed my wife as a creditor in the bankruptcy, and thereby having corrected a major error of the debtor's attorney at our expense, my wife was precluded from pursuing further collection efforts on the $300,000 note. Despite our written requests to Broad for the reason Broad listed my wife as a creditor, Broad has refused to respond.
We could go on ad infidum about Broad's excessive and inappropriate billings and incompetence, but id just more of the same. For more information on Broad and our complaints against Broad, we suggest you access the Florida Bar Association's file on Broad and its attorneys, including the extensive complaints we filed against the Broad attorneys. The Broad attorneys against whom we filed complaints included rk Raymond, Rhett Traband, and Francisco Armada.
