Legal Services NYC

Absolute bs. The intake specialist is some arrogant and incompetent lady trying to give legal opinions without being qualified for it. They just want free funding, but make it very difficult for people to get help they need.

Do yourself a favor, take a few classes or hire an actual lawyer. The time and money wasted on these so-called attorneys, who collect our tax dollars while claiming to serve the low-income community, is baffling. This agency is promoted as one of the first resources seniors should turn to for help, yet they don’t take cases at all. All they do is take down your name and the reason for your call, only to tell you they cannot help, despite their website advertising that they “advocate” for the very issues they routinely refuse to address.

Bankruptcy case, EVERYTHING done professionally from my side & EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE SAME INFO IN THE VERY BEGINNING, after a MONTH they ‘concluded’ I DONT qualify for ‘pro-bonno’/free services !! WASTE OF MY TIME & ENERGY !!! 😤 Too many reps. 2nd rep, Stephanie M, wasn’t professional/didn’t take things to her heart.. (didn’t remember to make my application updates, never replied to texts/called back, etc) 3rd rep, David F, ALSO wasn’t prof & READY when he called me & ‘couldn’t see’ my submitted application, like HOW ?! 😟 (while his ‘substitute’ LAW STUDENT saw everything VERY clearly ofc! must’ve been a ‘parents’ generation’ issue too I guess..🤷🏻‍♀️) and he changed his mind/dropped my case in like 2 days! 🤨 & that LAST assigned LAW-STUDENT, Amanda A, seemed THE best/HUMANE, PROFESSIONA

When you find yourself in major debt and don't have the ways and means to pull yourself out, it is an extremely depressing place to be in. But when you find agencies that offer legal services to those that meet the criteria you think you are able to see some light within the storm. So I contact NYC Bankruptcy Project and schedule an appointment to attend a mandatory workshop which is basically a breakdown of the services they do or do not offer. At the end of the workshop there are a few legal assistants and/or pro bono attorneys that meet with you, review your documentation and assess whether or not you meet the criteria for their services. My appointment was 6/8/16. I submitted all my documentation and was told that I met the criteria and was accepted to receive services to file for

Went there for HELP and Ms. Acron had no intentions in helping me with my situation and paid no attention to what I had to say. I felt right @ the beginning all she wanted to do was put my name on file to show she did some work(NOT). I'll try again but NOT WITH HER!!!
