Complaint Review: Jaffers & Associates

PLEASE PLEASE HEED ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS NOT JUST GOOGLE’s, YELP’s, AVAO’s everywhere!!! THESE GUYS HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS! I have filed a grievance with the Texas State Bar; Texas AG, The Chief Counsel, The Texas Supreme Court and others!!! Long story short! They helped me with my case. They received a settlement check from the creditor for $9,000. The Attorney Office sent me $1,000. (They took 90% lol). This is NOT the worst part. I received a 1099-Misc showing I made $9,000 in Income! (1) This is a settlement for harassment and damages - it is NOT INCOME much less TAXABLE income. (2) The 1099 came from the Creditor. Jaffers has told me TO NO LONGER CONTACT THE CREDITOR to have them Void the 1099 and reissue to Jaffers. The Creditor will not speak with me! I now owe over $3,000 in Federal Taxes for the Income Jaffers received. Jaffers refuses to have the matter corrected. The IRS confirmed I did not need a 1099 at all, SMS (1) if one was going to be sent, it should have come from Jaffers and (2) it should be for $1,000 and (3) marked as proceeds from an Attorney NOT as income! My only option now is to hire a CPA to have my Taxes filed correctly despite the 1099-MISC. Therefore, I have filed a Form with the IRS to report Jaffers for Tax Fraud, Unreported Income, Tax Evasion plus. I also filed a grievance with the Texas AG’s Office, The State Bar of Texas, The Chief Disciplinary Counsel, The Commission of Lawyer Discipline, The Supreme Court of Texas Ombudsman who monitors how Attorney Discipline is handled and The Texas Legislature’s Committee on Disciplinary Rules. If I lose my Disability due to unreported Income of $9,000 - money I never earned, nor received plus my Medical Insurance, then I will have to Sue for damages. I have sent them every law, every IRS Rule that shows I was not due a 1099 much less one for $9,000. These guys are trying to make me pay their taxes due for Income they received. If they have screwed you over, please contact every office I’ve named and file grievances. Do NOT allow them to continue practicing law in Texas! File grievances with the State Bar and let’s go after their license. Attorneys need to be held accountable and you have rights! You do not have to take your issues lying down!
