If you want to risk your own defense attorney going behind your back to contact your bk trustee, give Howard Wexler at Seyfarth a try. This is exactly what he did and got caught red handed. We had to send him a CEASE AND DESIST notice for him to never contact my trustee without customer written consent. He had to apologize and agreed to it. Their attorney Howard Wexler was only polite before I signed up with him. He also increased the hourly charge without telling me ahead of time. He refused to challenge jurisdiction at the start, which was standard, especially as I had no validation nor did I believe the opposing side was actually residing in NYC (as my company involves in intelligence, we caught many freelancers online posing as American/Canadian/Mexican but actually residing in China/North Korea as espionage or hackers), as what I requested. He told me before I signed up with him that he would call the opposing side's attorney and tell him that his client was lying etc, and tell the opposing attorney to stop wasting time on contingency, to end the case quickly. He instead kept selling me the so called mediation to drag it on and waste my time, against his client's interests and will. He never even conducted an interview to really ask me about the storyline or what actually happened. He didn't even know that I never met with the opposing side face to face online or offline or really got to know each other. He was never tough or rough to the opposite side, but he was only rude and threatening to his own client who was paying him over $700 an hour. He kept threatening me as his own client to increase the amount to settle against my will or he said he would drop me as his client. I feel like he wasted more than a year of my time, worse than the money wasted on him. He even spelled my name wrong by two letters multiple times, despite my protest. Those who charge half of his price tags might not sound as charismatic before you sign up with them, but they probab
