Grisham, Knight and Hooper Attorneys at Law Unprofessional Practices Chattanooga Tennessee
I filed bankruptucy on a financial responsiblity claim with Grisham, Knight and Hooper. Even after filing a chapter 7 they still sent a letter to the DME to revoke my drivers License. When I contacted them they advised me that they could not talk with me anymore and would only speak to my attorney from now on..now I have found out my license has been revoked and I will have to pay reinstatement fee's to get them back and can't even do that til they send a general release to the DMV to release me from the debt, which my take months!!! This is a ever loving nightmare! This is totally uncalled for and should have never happened if people would just read their mail and answer messages!!! This business should not even be allowed to call thereselves an attorney's office or when they call u they say this is a debt collector attempt ending to collect a debt and is recorded!!!MAYBE I should have recorded my conversations with their office! then I would have had proof someone being MARGARET did not do her job properly!!!! WHAT a dang joke of a business!!!!

It sounds like you had an accident. We live in tough economic times.
I understand. I am not an attorney. What I know about bankruptcy law. I can tell you from a consumer. If you had them or the other party that claims damages stated in the bankruptcy. and if the judge ordered your debts discharged. I would go back to the bankruptcy attorney that handled your case and tell them what they are doing.
It appears that you don't have a judgement against you. I suggest you get an attorney. If the attorney is worthless go to the bankruptcy court and check the case file. Essentially they have you by the tail.
I would fight them. They are holding your license hostage. Stopping you from earning a living. Its sad. If you get proof that the other party or insurance company was discharged in court. You could contact a NACPA attorney. They might be able to help. Sometimes they will take a case on a contingency basis.
What I remember from a Business law class (non law school class). If they did not challenge the discharge of the accident debt. There is nothing they can do except mess with your license.
I wish you the best. P.S. Please drive more carefully. Drive like a little old lady. always drive with insurance. Protect yourself for the future. Remember that breaking statatory law in an accident sets you up for liability. Tort law concerning driving a car needs to be taken seriously. Lawyers make millions suing for medical etc.
One last suggestion. If you can prove that the debt was discharged.
You might try filing a complaint with the attorney general office consumer protection division. This might work and might not. Its worth a try only if you can provide proof that the debt was discharged. You can also file a complaint against the law firm with your state agency regulating attorney's. you have to prove that they did something to violate some law probably. Once again the court order discharging the debt is the key.
I wish you the best. Please report back if my suggestions helped.
