FRAUD, BREACH OF CONTRACT, AND PRICE GOUGING ALERT…read more
If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, I strongly advise you "NOT" to hire Attorney Matthew Wegner Law Firm or use Trustee Tim Truman from Fort Worth, Texas.
In June 2025, my husband Christopher Jones retained Attorney Matthew Wegner to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case on his behalf. The written contract he signed stated that he agreed to pay an initial attorney fee of $850, plus $4,290 in additional fees. In total, my husband paid $3,500 into Trustee Tim Tyler's account, along with the $850 initial attorney fee bringing the total paid to $4,350.

After the contract was signed, Attorney Wegner increased my husband's monthly payment by an additional $1,000, raising the total obligation to $5,290. This increase was never clearly justified and was not reflected in the original agreement.
Because the monthly payment became financially overwhelming, my husband sought assistance from another bankruptcy firm. Under the new firm, he now pays $2,443 per month compared to the $5,290 he was required to pay under Attorney Wegner firm a difference of $2,847 per month.
More concerning, despite the significant payments made, none of my husband's creditors received funds from Trustee Tim Truman. We were repeatedly told that creditors had been paid; however, there is no record of such payments. Multiple creditors have confirmed that they did not receive any funds.
As a result of these failures, my husband's vehicle was repossessed and our property went into foreclosure. We believe this occurred due to the mishandling and misappropriation of funds entrusted to Attorney Matthew Wegner and Trustee Tim Truman
We have made numerous attempts to contact both offices by phone to request an explanation and a return of the funds paid, but we have received no response.
We are sharing this experience to warn others. Please conduct thorough research before hiring legal representation for bankruptcy proceedings. Ask for detailed written agreements, request regular payment statements, and independently verify that creditors are receiving payments.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!
