      ************** was hired to represent me in a bankruptcy filing. He appeared in a random web search right when I had my car revoked for a series of late payments during Covid. I drove **** and was desperate to get the car back. It was the worst decision to go with this firm. He told me very confidently and charismatically that he could get the car back in a few days and so I paid my down payment for his enormous fee and went along with the procedure for a chapter 13.At some point in filing process I shared that I recently transferred a property back to a family member several months ago but did not own the property anymore. He said it was ok however the trustee wanted more information about the property. He then became very aggressive and started to tell me that he was going to change the filing to a chapter 7 and force my family member to sell the house to pay the debt. I refused to do so and made calls to a congressional office to help with this and they successfully stopped the aggressive action. I was allowed to continue with the proceedings as per the judge. Three years later now after all of the debt has been paid he starts to push me to file a chapter 7 again. Also the car I had mysteriously needed repairs that were beyond my ability to pay as in a new engine and converter( driving Lyft) he again starts to get aggressive and begins a number of things to get me to file this chapter 7 He would and does not answer emails or calls with any questions frequently. He then tells me to go to one of his affiliated car dealerships and try to just purchase a vehicle. He told me to go to several but try this one first as they are more sympathetic to people in bankruptcy situations. I went test drove a vehicle gave my financial info and they informed me I would be approved once I file a chapter 7 . I went to two dealers before providing him with their offer to sell the car pending getting approval from the court, gave him everything he requested but he never responded .

      I filed a police report because a roommate of mine fraudulently used my email, my debit card , my photo id, and my social card , to commit fraud opening up a bankruptcy in my name pretending to be me . All This was in my cell phone which she stole and she even screenshotes my personal info which I got proff she admitted She told me she would make me pay because I wanted her out for not seeking employment. None those things that were opened at sjk lawfirm were me . It was done online and I dont do things online I only do them in person . I would never trust anyone with my information online who I dont see face to face . I would like the the bankrupcy totally dismissed off my record and expunged due to it not being me that opened the bankrupcy. If its not expunged I will have to have my lawyer take this to Court to get it done which I hope I dont have to do . Also I would have to report it to the bar under lincense . I did not give SJK Lawfirm permission to file my information or was it me that sent them any documents !
