I recently contacted this law office to inquire about the bankruptcy process. I left a message for Michelle and she returned my call the same day. I recently obtained a crash pad as a flight attendant working out of the NY area airports, however, my permanent address is located in NH, where I reside when I'm not positioning or on call. Many flight crews do this (have a crash pad close to airports) to avoid the long commute. I attempted to explain my living and financial situation, ( didn't even get that far) but was met with an aggressive, abrasive, and argumentative tone by Michelle Kainen. I tried to explain my situation but was cut off and told that I needed to speak with a NY attorney because NYC is my domicile-which isn't true. I spend less than 1/2 the year in NY. Even if she couldn't help me, her demeanor over the phone was disgraceful- so rude! Declaring bankruptcy is humiliating enough, so it doesn't help when you reach out for assistance and its met with a lawyer who appears to enjoy berating people who are already down.
I would avoid seeking any legal advise from this law firm, at least from Michelle. What a horrible experience. Steer clear! read more
