Haines, Krieger, & Baldwin

Bankruptcy: I would never - ever recommend HKB to anyone! Every single person that I have dealt with at their firm has been either bluntly rude to me -or- treated me like ""I am beneath them"" and I am bothering them. I am not exaggerating - EVERY SINGLE PERSON!\r \r One would think that after forking over nearly $2500 for a simple ""poor man's"" bankruptcy, I could be treated like a ""client"", but not. I was told by a lawyer at HKB that my property was ""not worth"" trying to modify the loan. \r \r I have asked questions and received no answers. I called and emailed for the paralegal that was working my case for 2-weeks - FINALLY, I was told she no longer worked for them and hadn't for 2-weeks! \r \r My BK is not over - but I have been told that ""someone"" ( a supposed lawyer) that I have had no counsel with - will attend the Trustee meeting to represent me - HUH??? \r \r I have had to do all the leg work myself - I don't know what I paid for. I sincerely regret having gone with HKB and wish I had not - and my BK is not even half over with. The paralegal gives one advice and the lawyer I met with for approximately 10-minutes gave the opposite advice. \r \r My recommendation: Do not believe the advertisements you see on television. You will not see none of the lawyers as advertised. The only matter of importance to HKB was the payment plan - how would I pay the HUGE amount they require to handle a bankruptcy. I feel as if I have been robbed. They took my money gladly - but where is the service???? Why can't I even be spoken kindly too? Why can't they 'explain' anything about the process? I hired an attorney to help me through the process - and I feel like I paid for nothing - that I am going through the experience - ALONE! \r \r Once this is over, I intend to file an official complaint. And, I too will be providing updates of my experience here - hoping to discourage good people from the same experience. Surely there are lawyers out there that truly want to help someone. Lawyers with a good reputation ? - I wish that I had found them instead. more

Unfortunately, I believe I was given incredibly brief and BAD advice. I questioned filing BK-13 and told a 7 was better for me, but they left out a LOT. It was embarassing enough going down there, and then to have the attorney reply to some of my questions with a scripted response, ""bankruptcy is for when bad things happen to good people,"" while holding his hands folded like a mortician (LOL). Not so funny is my situation. Additionally, some of the staff treat you like the plague. Now caught between a rock and a hard place. More to follow once this is actually over. \r \r Now...This was my personal experience so far, I hope it gets better. more

I called them to help me modify my loan on my house. I have two young children and the thought of losing our home was heartbreaking. Haines, Krieger & Baldwin did what they said they’d do. Now my payments are manageable and we get to keep our home. more

Haines, Krieger and Baldwin were able to modify my loan and because of them I am still living in my home that I thought for sure I was going to lose. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. more

I had a great experience with Haines, Krieger and Baldwin! When I first called them, I was in so much debt I had no idea what to do. They were professional and explaned all of my options to me. I still can't believe how fast everything happened. They quickly got to work and in no time I was out of debt. I can't tell you how much my life has changed for the better. I’d recommend them for sure. more

I have been in the finance industry for over 20 years and have always been successful. After a series of unfortunate events I found myself in a position where I was unable to continue to pay my bills and was embarrassed about the position of my finances. While researching several firms I was referred to Haines, Krieger and Baldwin and made my appointment for a free consultation with an attorney. I could not have been more pleased. Throughout my case everyone in the office was extremely professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond to my questions all the while being very kind and considerate of my situation. These factors put my mind at ease and made me feel comfortable with the decision I made to make a fresh start. I’m thrilled that I selected Haines, Kreiger and Baldwin to handle my bankruptcy and will definitely refer my friends and clients to their firm in the future should they need any services HKB offers. more
