Complaint Review: Fein Law Offices - Braintree Massachusetts

  i have known ron for 37 years and i have never known him to do anything illegal.
i was present for the ripoff perpetrated by fein law , 20,000.00 dollars to do a tax
repair, oh my god . i couldnt believe what was being done to ron by a so called lawyer .and i know fein law was sanctioned by the bar assoc. so it seems to me that tells the story of who screwed who .

ron is a decent man who made a mistake and when he tried to fix it , a lawyer took
advantage of his generous nature ,by over charging him for the work by about 15,000 dolars. ron is a good guy who was taken by a scammer calling himself an attorney. it is a shame happened .and now this attorney wants to smear ron's name by accusing him of things he knows nothing about . accusing ron of drug abuse that is not true and doing all he can to make ron look bad . for what fein did . basically stealing from ron and when caught trying to make ron look like a criminal, when the criminal was the proven thief , FEIN LAW. NOT SO FINE IN MY BOOK.

Mr Fein. To the best of my knowledge, Rip-off report is a permanent non removable post designed to encourage people to resolve their legal issues. This site is designed for each party to present their evidence and through debate and logic in accordance with the law resolve, their issues. I have carefully read your rebuttals and have observed no such intent on your behalf. To date, your best defense has been to slander me and violate every Attorney Client trust that is conceivable. I fail to understand how your methodology is resolving anything. I do not know the fabric and regulation guidelines of Rip-off Report. I only used this site to express my observations as to how your company serviced me, and to disclose to you what was discovered after having your work was reviewed by other tax professionals. I believe that I have proved my point beyond a reasonable doubt. And to date, I have yet seen any any indication of you personally resolving this issue with me. I have absolutely no motivation to remove these publications until this issue is resolved. You may call me a drug addict, a liar, a fraud, an extortionist, and everything else in the book, and this changes nothing. You may post articles dictating misinformation to Commerce insurance on the internet. And you may threaten to tell Commerce that you are going to expose me to them as a fraud. But all you really have done is exposed a legal case having nothing to do with your office, on a public domain with information whether true or not, that was both private, confidential, and absolutely none of your affair or business. You violated your most sacred oath to keep things outside of this specific issue private and confidential. I welcome you to notify Commerce and tell them your lies and then, I will see you in the unemployment office. So far, I have seen you resolve nothing. What possible motivation could I possibly have for trying to remove these articles? I suggest that you continue burying yourself as you stumble upon your own words. I'm not your enemy Mr. Fein. I am your unsatisfied client. You are your own worst enemy Mr. Fein. Because you refused to resolve this issue with me in a manner that is both professional and honorable.

Ron, for your sake and mine, please delete this thread. I tried to delete all of my posts but they will not let me because the rip off report is a scam and a joke. I read your last post a week after it was put up and I did not realize that until after I posted my rebuttal. When you google my office this comes up on the search engine. I cannot have it. Lets agree to disagree and cut this nonsense off. The only people seeing this are you and me. Please let me know if you know how to delete a post and I will remove everything I have posted. Thanks.

To begin with, Christopher Fein, of Fein Law Office in Braintree MA. was hired by me through the recommendation of my auto accident attorney. 5 yrs ago, I was involved in a hit and run collision that resulted in my having a disk herniated in the middle of my neck. I endured chiropractic and physical therapy for well over 2 years. I can no longer lift my head up, nor turn it barely from side to side. I suppose that you can call that a lawsuit. Regardless, it had nothing to do with my taxes. It was because I had just gotten married and I wanted to straighten out my life. So I hired an attorney to help me make things right. I was the proud owner of 2 computer stores. My credit score was 752, I had a license to carry a concealed weapon and had been thoroughly checked out by the police, FBI and probably most of the other 3 letter acronym agencies. I have no criminal history, no drug history and no DWI's or anything, I was a master locksmith for 17 yrs before ever getting into computers and I was licensed and bonded. I have no psychiatric history, nor ever suffered form any other events that would make me psychotic. 4 yrs ago, I was diagnosed with Hep C. It's a disease that can be transferred by blood. Sexual contact, using someone else's disposal razor etc. Regardless, I chose to take a Chemotherapy treatment involving Interferon, Riboviren, Procrit, Infergen, Lexapro, and who knows what else. After 2 1/2 yrs at the mercy of Dr.'s I had a stroke. My Hep. C treatment failed, and now I have to be on other drugs because of different things. So I am not a drug addict Mr. Fein. and your slanderous statement only belittles you that much more. I can produce a returned check in the amount of $20,000 that Fein Law Office was paid. So again Mr. Fein you must be mistaken. I asked for a refund because that is what I was told to do by ABTS after they had examined and laughed at your work. I wanted a refund that I deserved because of the malpractice that Fein committed. So if you regard me, asking for a refund, because you were unable to deliver any product or service for what you were specifically paid for, then yes, you can call that extortion. And when the electric company comes to turn off my electricity unless I pay my bill, then I'll accuse them of extortion and blackmail too. Now to this "AGREEMENT" that never quite developed.... wonder why... Was because Christopher keeps whining about being on Rip-off Report and Dumbfounded won't sign any agreements absolving Fein Law Office from their responsibility to their client. Mr. Fein is running around like a chicken with his head cut off because he got caught Ripping off His Client and now he is afraid. Yet not once has Fein Law established any action towards resolving this issue. Not even a phone call. Yes Mr. Fein, I want my money back because you failed to do the job that you were paid for. Now I have been threatened by this law office, slandered, and they are doing their best to discredit me so remember this FEIN LAW SAYS 1) they were hired because they know how to phony up tax returns so that insurance companies have to pay more. 2) They don't know that $16,000 is not equal to $20,000 3)I have a history of Drug Abuse and Fraud 4)That Mr. Christopher Fein intends to defraud himself to Commerce Insurance Company 5)That Fein Law has no problem with violating attorney client confidentiality 6)That Fein Law Office makes it its policy to disregard conflicts of interest. But that doesn't matter because they are going to teach me a lesson. And they wonder why I wrote to Rip-off Report.... go figure

Ronald "Dumbfounded" Sarvas of Revere Massachusetts is not being truthful. He is a liar and he continues to try to extort money from my business. I was hired to produce tax returns in connection with a motor vehicle claim Ronald Sarvas filed against The Commerce Insurance Company as well as to get him compliant with Massachusetts and federal law regarding the filing of tax returns. The tax returns evidenced a decrease in income which can be used to negotiate with the insurance company in trying to increase the value of his motor vehicle claim claim. He needed to prove lost wages but couldn't because he had never filed a tax return. This office was paid $16,000 for 105 hours in time spent on producing tax returns going back 10 years. It had nothing to do with his ability to obtain a refund, which he is not eligible for anyway. His records were deplorable and we refused to give him deductions that he could not prove. His total fee was close to $35,000 but we never billed him for the total amount because we were supposed to get paid after he settled his case. The IRS recently contacted Mr. Sarvas because he was delinquent on the third payment plan we set him up on. He sent me an email trying to extort enough money to pay off the IRS in May 2009. By agreement with Mr. Sarvas he was going to stop his extortionate campaign and I would not sue him for defamation, libel, fraud, among other things. We agreed to this immediately after I posted my prior rebuttal. I have been in touch with the Board of Bar Overseers for an ethics opinion on how to handle this fraud. I have also been in touch with people friendly with Mr. Sarvas to discuss this matter and it appears Mr. Sarvas has problems that go beyond his need to extort money from me. If this post is not taken down I will call the insurance company's attorney and let them know about the real Ronald Sarvas, his history of drug abuse, fraud, and other facts that will undoubtedly be useful in their defense of his motor vehicle claim. This will probably be the only way to get Ronald Sarvas to appreciate the significance of his criminal conduct. He is a fraud and a liar and I can prove that he is trying to extort money from my office. Again, the Rip Off Report is allowing a crime to be perpetrated on me and my family and they have shown a complete disregard for the truth. On May 29, 2009 Ronald Sarvas' own attorney demanded that they take down this blog and they have done nothing to comply with this request. Instead, they sent him a standard response that said "true or false, right or wrong" they wanted it to be posted on their site. This proves that the Rip Off Report truly does not have "consumers" best interest in mind.

Sent to MA. Bar Assn. I have faxed you a copy of my itemized invoice from Fein Law Office. On Wed. May 24th, I took the tax packet that Fein Law submitted to the IRS for me to ABTS. They reviewed the returns and their findings were disturbing to say the least. David Kamau of or Advanced Bookkeeping and Tax Service Inc. Stated that he would review the tax records I had submitted over the weekend and get back to me. On Sat. May 30 at 4:30 I received their telephone call asking me to come down to their office in regard to their findings. This is what was revealed to me and you will be receiving a document from them akin to what I am disclosing to you now. 1. The taxes were filed 10 years instead of 3yrs back, which is the requirement for posting back IRS returns. It was explained in detail to me that although the IRS can go back as far as 20 yrs., Fein law should have only filed for the last 3Yrs. Filing those other 7 years was not only unnecessary, but it exposed me to a huge liability instead. If only 3 years would have been filed as should have been, we would not be having this conversation today If the IRS would have requested or needed more returns prior to those three years, they would have then notified me and requested them. 2. Upon inspection of the tax returns, it was observed that the entire packet of 10 years worth of tax returns had all been hand written in pen or pencil. Something that ABTS stated they had not seen since 1968. This was because either Fein Law Office did not have any TAX Processing Software, or Mr. Charles Fein didn't know how to use a computer. ABTS stated that they had never seen such a disgraceful example of professionalism before . Since Mr. Charles Fein did not use any software relevant for those specific years of the returns that were filed, every return that was remitted to the IRS was incorrect, as it would have been nearly impossible to file these back taxes without the software applicable to those specific years. The tax agent stated that this was the most blatant case of malpractice that he had ever seen. He held up the 10 year packet of tax work in his hand and said, as he shook them in his hand, " this is about 4 hours work on a computer he stated, and maybe the rest of the day do go through and add the 2 crates of invoices. 3. ABTS in their words stated that Fien Law Office was insane, in respect to charging me $34.700 for a days work. They told me that I need to get my money back about 5 different times. In their words, "you weren't screwed, you were raped". 4. Fein Law office not only overcharged me, but it is more that obvious that they were not prepared to do this job let alone do it professionally. They were unqualified to do the work. And they caused their client serious harm exposing their client to a large liability, as well as legal jeopardy. I expect Fein Law to be seriously disciplined for their gross incompetence, negligence, and misrepresentation. And I am demanding a full refund because of the issues mentioned above. I have sent notice to Fein Law Offices requesting copies of any and all documents' contracts, and power of attorneys that I have signed with them. Can you please assure me that I will receive copies of these documents? Thank you. Ronald P Sarvas.

Ronald is perpetrating a fraud on this website. He is the person who is using the alias "Dumbfounded" and I will not provide any of his personal data. He began emailing me a few days ago and told me if I did not pay him $20,000 he would do this...and he has. I will provide a copy of the email to anyone who requests a copy. Please email me at [email protected] Rondalds' attorney is Marc Chapdelaine. He has an office in Saugus, Massachusetts and his office website is www.chapdelainelaw.com. All of Attorney Chapdelaine's contact information is on his website. Ronalds' own attorney can provide details of my office's prior representation. I am not at liberty to discuss a client's prior legal problems but I can and will defend myself against documented fraud and attempted extortion. What Ronald posted is 95% false. I received an email today from Attorney Chapdelaine indicating this post would be removed from the site immediately but it has not been taken down. Again, I can verify this and I am sure Rondalds' own counsel will confirm this as well. It is truly sad that the Rip-off Report allows things like this to happen. There should be a requirement that a complaint be verified before a post is made. I would ask that someone from the ROR call Attorney Chapdelaine to verify my rebuttal before removing this entire blog. I know Ronald is going through a tough time but he has competent people, advisors and counsel to help him get through this and I wish him the best. Thank you.

The issue that I had with Fein Law Office has been resolved for the moment All of your responses to my reports were appreciated.

I went and spoke with an ERO Tax representative this morning and brought with me my complete tax packet that I had received from Fein Law Office. After his reviewing the packet of 10 years worth of filed taxes, I was told that at the very most with the worst of circumstances that there was only about $10,000 worth of work that was done. It was almost 10 minutes into their review that they realized that no deductions had been accounted for in regard to my wages or salary. In leiu of this information, my salary determined that the IRS might actually owe me money. Again Charlie Fein, the 40YRS experienced IRS agent appearantly overlooked. I also discovered that although the IRS does not make deals, although they will negotiate differences in regard to amending your filed taxes. Now I am in a situation where an incompetent Legal Firm had me paying out thounds of dollars out that I didn't even owe. And that is pretty much about it. Thanks for your reviews. Dumbfounded

When you received statements from the IRS they average your taxes if you did not file. They must have given you a exact total of the back taxes. I think you said $30,000. Why would you then give a attorney $20,000 to take care of this?. I am not being mean, I would think that I would take that $20,000 and just pay down my tax debt. How did you not know that the taxes were not filed for 10 years on your own buisness?

Whether you blame your ex-partner or not, the real screw up is YOU. YOU are responsible for your taxes. When you go to an attorney for help most of the time you get paralegals or other non-attorneys doing all the paper and leg work. this is the norm. Besides, just because you have a paper degree doesn't mean you are the most qualified to do the job, it just means you know how to find the right people that can get the job done. Pay your taxes and quit crying. How can anyone go ten years without knowing their taxes are not being filed?
