Haines & Krieger, Attorneys At Law

Wish I could leave negative stars! This company just called my son’s cell phone TWICE asking for my husband and myself. When my son asked what the call was about because we weren’t available, this person proceeded to discuss MY bankruptcy and the fact that I’m now eligible for refinancing! Now, I have to admit this personal and private information with my son who, as far as I’m concerned, has NO BUSINESS knowing about it! The guy could have been discussing this with a houseguest for all he knew! When I called to confront him about it he just told me he’s sorry I feel this way and that it IS a matter of public record after all! SERIOUSLY?! This was highly inappropriate and he couldn’t even offer a genuine apology! When I asked to speak to his manager, he told me that he was it! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!

The process was straightforward … I couldn’t seeing giving five stars due to their almost negligence on returning email messages. Other than that, I was satisfied with my results and would recommend to others going through the same generation. I just bought a new car. God is Good!!!

David was great! My husband and I married last year and were worried about his previous debt. We went to Haines and Krieger for a second opinion on him filing bankruptcy and they were awesome! He actually looked up information and claims that could be open and found that everything had taken care of itself. He was way more reassuring than the previous guy who suggested we may want to get a divorce until his debt was cleared. Definitely recommend their services and information provided to us.

Unfortunately we were ones that the economy beat up and killed and my girlfriend at the time before she became my spouse did a bankruptcy a few years ago and they were amazing. She had to do a conversion from a seven to a 13 and then back to a seven they cramdown her mortgage and save a ton of money on our bankruptcy. Now they’re doing real estate work and saved us a ton of money on our new house. Very professional, customer service at the top of the list and make you feel like family. If you’re going through into the financial distress and need to get information on the bankruptcy or debt consolidation Hangin Krieger is the way to go.

If your going there for help with your home modification you will NOT meet with an attorney at your initial consultation, only an office assistant. They make all these promises to get you to sign on, and once you do and pay the retainer the fun starts. Your case gets transferred from one worker to another. They do not return calls. You do all your own paper work. In the end they got us a reduction for a grand total of $ 40.00 off our monthly mortgage payment. WOW!!! Charged us $ 1500.00 to do our own paperwork. Basically felt we were dealing with BofA Instead of a law firm. And boy are they quick to advise you to file bankruptcy, Instead of offering other options. My opinion do your research and go elsewhere.

Absolutely horrible! They pressure you till you pay them, then they don’t return a phone call! Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I would not recommend them to an enemy.

I accompanied my husband to a free consultation with these guys. My husband unfortunately had fallen onto hard times prior to us meeting and has piles of debt that’s grown over the years that we aren’t sure whether or not we can ever afford. After a long discussion, we decided we may need to contact a bankruptcy attorney to find out what our options are. We chose to meet with Haines & Kreiger because my mother had filed bankruptcy through them several years prior and never seemed to have a problem with them.
We chose to have our free consultation on a Saturday. We were told not to bring any paperwork, which I felt was odd. I ended up bringing paperwork anyway, thinking it’d be useful. I also brought along a list of questions (20 or so) that were our biggest concerns. I thought they’d be useful as well. They weren’t.
Upon entering, we signed some paperwork and we were introduced to Mr. Kreiger. He was dressed in athletic shorts, sneakers and a casual shirt. I’m all for casual days in the office, but it was a little too casual for an attorney for my taste. It made me feel like we were just a quick stop on his way to a raquetball game.
In the consultation, Mr. Kreiger’s cell phone kept going off constantly with texts and phone calls, which he would check throughout. I felt slightly insulted. I know the consultation is free, but com’on man, you gotta convince me you’re worthy of shelling out $ 1,600 in attorney fees if we select you to represent us. Is this how you act in court? Or just when you’re with potential clients?
The consultation overall was a letdown. Mr. Kreiger didn’t really guide us through the bankruptcy process as much as we had hoped for. He took one look at our information and told us that he didn’t feel it necessary to file. He didn’t explain why. Instead, he wanted to plan out the option of suing the debt collectors for repeatedly calling us. We weren’t very interested in that, because it was a whole set of drama we just don’t want to get into. We kept trying to steer the conversation back to bankruptcy, but he kept steering it back to filing a lawsuit on the creditors. Finally we just gave up trying, and just sat and listened to him talk about his plans for a lawsuit we didn’t want to file. We said we had no more questions, despite still having a book full of them, thanked him for his time, and began to leave. As we were walking out, he told us that once we got past this lawsuit, then we could file bankruptcy. It took everything in me not to scream. Suddenly bankruptcy was a good option for my husband now that we were leaving and would have to PAY for another consultation to get our original questions answered.
We left his office with more questions than answers. Mr. Kreiger seemed very intelligent and capable, however, his downfall is that I feel he doesn’t seem to pay attention to what truly matters– his client.

They handled my bankruptcy. Everyone was very knowledgeable and always able to answer my questions thoroughly. They even put my bankruptcy on a rush so I wouldn’t have to postpone my wedding.

I was very impressed with Haines & Krieger. I met with 5 other law firms regarding my questions about Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and I felt more comfortable with Haines & Krieger above all else. They are busy right now, due to the large number of bankruptcy cases, but the process is smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended.
