KERRY STIEGERWALT PACIFIC LAW CENTER RIP OFF ARTISTS AT THEIR BEST San Diego, California
Went to them 3 yrs ago to file a BK. Paid $1300.00 up front to "get the paperwork started". Was switched around to several different lawyers/players. Went to the office with the $200 filing fee & was told that it was not in my best interest to file. I still have not received a refund of my money. I have sent letters, made phone calls to no avail. I can not believe that they are allowed to conduct business this way. I am a single parent & could use my money. They even went so far as to tell me that I needed to make an additional appt to come in to "discuss" whether I was going to even get a refund. I told them to F O & refund my money, it wasn't open to discussion. Run don't walk to the nearest exit. Somehow this place needs to be put out of business. Type in their name & see how many people have already complained about them. Check the BBB rating: a 'D". I even filed a complaint with the BBB. I am trying to reach as many places as I can so that I can save one other person from having to go through this.
