writing you now so that you have my contact information written down.  I would like to speak to you about your Revdex.com complaint.     I saw that you are having some mental health issues and I want you to know that we are very sorry for your troubles.  Still, I need to ask you a few things about your complaint.  For example, when you found out that the attorney with whom you spoke a few months ago wasn't working for this firm anymore, why didn't you just call the firm and ask to speak to someone else instead of contacting the Revdex.com?  The firm would like to help you resolve your concerns, but we need you to tell us when you're feeling bad about your experience here.      We can talk about that and anything else you'd like to address when you have time to call me back.  Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you soon.     Kind regards,Xxxx X.

I am the Managing Attorney at UpRight Law for Enhanced Service and I contacted this client immediately upon becoming aware of his...

concerns. Included in our core values is "Making Clients Love Us" and I take great care to ensure we do everything we can to meet that goal. My first and only communication with this client came on August 26th, the same day that this complaint was filed. I have tried to contact him many times since then to resolve this matter, to no avail. Earlier today I sent this email:
Dear Mr. [redacted],
At UpRight Law we feel that our client relationships are among our highest priorities. We strive to cultivate an open, honest and professional environment wherein we can service or clients' needs with great care and a high degree of quality. To that end, I am trying to contact you so that we cam work together to solve your concerns.
On August 26, 2015 a member of my staff spoke with you regarding your cancellation request and request for a refund. That staff member communicated to me that you were unhappy with the refund policy that you agreed to when you asked for our help with your financial situation. On that same day, I called you and spoke with you about that refund policy. I also explained that we begin work on the files at the time the client agrees to hire UpRight Law to address the clients' debt concerns. At the end of that conversation, we agreed that I would complete a full accounting of all work that had been completed on your file and send it to you. You can find that accounting attached here.
Later that same day, before I had an opportunity to follow-through with our agreement, you lodged a complaint with the Revdex.com. In that complaint you alleged that we have not responded to an email that you sent on July 17, 2015 despite the fact that you spoke with multiple members of our staff, including me, that same day. Since that time, I have called you multiple times in an attempt to resolve this matter, including a call this morning.
At this point, I have to respond to the Revdex.com complaint. When a complaint is filed with the Revdex.com we have 14 days to respond. Today is the 14th day since your complaint. My response will include this email.
I am still willing to work with you to come to a resolution of this matter, but I need you to call me back.
Thank you and have a great day!

Attached to that email was a full accounting of the file showing the many hours of work that we already put into the file. Still, if this client decides that he is interested in resolving this matter, I would very much like to find an agreement and my door is open to him.
Final Business Response /* (1000, 8, 2015/09/09) */
This client contacted me back today. He has not yet reviewed the accounting that I sent to him. I offered to send him another copy to an email of his choosing. He indicated that he does not currently have access to email. I offered to send him a paper copy and he indicated that he would rather wait to discuss it with his wife and call me back at another time. I will be happy to discuss the accounting or any other concerns he has when he returns the call.

I am the Managing Attorney at UpRight Law for Enhanced Service. We consider client communication to be a top priority. After learning of this client's frustrations, we contacted him and went through everything that was was still needed to...

complete his petition. We determined that the documentation that we still needed to move forward was limited to the rolling documents that need to be updated each time we cross into a new month. We further gathered some new information about his debt profile and made some decisions about how he can best be helped through the bankruptcy process. The client is now satisfied with his result and he remains a client moving forward.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

I am the managing attorney at UpRight Law for Enhanced Service.  I was notified of this complaint on 5/9/16.  I immediately tried to contact this client by both telephone and email.  At 9:27 a.m. that day, I made the first call and this former client answered the phone.  She told...

me that she could not speak to me at that moment and asked for a call back at 3:00 that day.  I agreed and called her back at 3:05 p.m.  There was no answer and no voicemail option.  I called again at 3:39 p.m. that same day.  Again, there was no answer and no voicemail option.The following day, on 5/10/16, I called her again at 2:38 p.m.  Once again, there was no answer and no option for voicemail.  I then sent the following email: Dear [redacted]     I called you yesterday morning and you asked me to call you back at 3:00 EDT.  I called you back at that time and there was no answer and no option for voicemail.  I called again a half hour later and, again, there was no answer and no voicemail option.  I called you a third time today and once again, there was no answer and no voicemail option.  I have been trying to reach you to resolve the complaint that made against our business with the Revdex.com.  Unless you call me back, there is nothing that I can do to help you.  Please call me at my number listed below at your earliest availability.     Thank you and have a great day![redacted]Managing Associate for Enhanced ServicesUpRight LawThe next day I still had not received a telephone call or email from the client, so I called again at 2:49 p.m.  This time, someone answered the phone and immediately hung up without saying anything.  I called back again immediately in hopes that the person who hung up did so by mistake, but this time the call went unanswered and there was no option for voicemail.  As of this date, 5/20/16, I still have not received any communication from this client by telephone, email or otherwise.To address the former client's original complaint, this former client has misstated the facts and the representations made by UpRight Law.  First, it was never said and it would never be said that UpRight Law will not acknowledge anyone until their fees are paid in full.  In truth, such a statement doesn't even make sense since taking payment from a client requires that we first acknowledge that they are in fact clients.  Second, it is simply not the case that UpRight Law does not work on cases until the fees are paid in full.  UpRight Law begins work on files at the moment the client signs up.  It is true that clients have to pay their fees in full to get the cases filed and complete the process of filing for bankruptcy, but there is an enormous amount of work done on the files prior to filing and that work begins at the moment the client retains this firm.  Third, this particular client never asked anyone at UpRight Law for a refund or even communicated that she would like to discontinue our services.  The last time that this client ever contacted UpRight Law was 11/18/15.  That call was not a cancellation request.  And finally, of the 13 payments this client scheduled, only 2 of them cleared.  The only reason that this case was not filed as scheduled was that the client failed to pay her fees.Since this former client is entirely unwilling to communicate with me and has failed to pay her fees, there is nothing that we can do to help her.  However, my door remains open to her if she decides to do the necessary work to get herself out of debt and on to the fresh start she was looking for when she asked us for our help.  We wish her the best of luck in the future.

I am a managing attorney at UpRight Law. I just tried to contact this client by telephone to resolve this matter. Unfortunately, the telephone number in her file is not currently in service. I sent her the following email:Dear Ms. Xxxxxx,I just tried to call you, but the number that we have in your...

file is not in service. I am writing you now so that you have my contact information written down. Please give me a call back at your convenience so we can resolve your complaint.There are a few things about your complaint that I think we need to address. First, I understand that you feel as though the fees for filing a bankruptcy are high as compared to your financial situation. That being said, the fees for your case were made abundantly clear from the outset of your representation and you signed your contract knowing all of the fees involved in the representation. Also, when you call another attorney who is hoping for your business, it stands to reason that such attorney would likely tell you that he or she is willing to do the case for less money because of that fact that any such attorney would like you to hire him or her rather than your current attorneys. It is also a complete falsehood that UpRight Law has a class action lawsuit pending. No such lawsuit has been filed or even threatened. Whoever told you that was either mistaken or lying. Lastly, I know that you believe the firm did not do any work on your behalf, but that is simply untrue. The firm uses the information that you provided to us during your intake to build out your case file, which requires work. The New York-licensed attorney from our office with whom you spoke was one of the many individuals who completed that work.Please give me a call back at your convenience so we can discuss this matter. Thank you for your time.Kind regards,UpRight LawXxxx X. XxxxxxxxI look forward to addressing this matter with her upon her return.

I am a managing attorney at UpRight Law.  Upon receiving this complaint, I immediately reached out to this client and we discussed his case.  This former client had originally discussed the possibility of filing a bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code.  Almost immediately...

thereafter, the attorney that was assigned to his case discovered an asset that would make filing this case under Chapter 7 risky for his ability to retain that asset.  That attorney spoke with the client about that problem and send him a contract for filing the case under Chapter 13.  The client and the attorney must have left that conversation with different understandings of the client's intention, because this firm has only extended contracts to move forward under Chapter 13.  In our conversation today, I explained to him why a Chapter 7 would not allow him to accomplish his bankruptcy goals.  The client understood and he thanked me for the explanation and time.  We resolved this matter on the phone and this firm wishes him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.

I am the Managing Attorney at UpRight Law for Enhanced Service.  When I was informed of this complaint, I attempted contact with this client.  Unfortunately, I have not yet spoken with her.  I contacted her by telephone and by email.  I sent the following email to this...
