PLEASE let me know the good, the bad and the ugly about your experiences at MyFairCredit.com. As regular readers know, I’ve had a lot to say about cream-skimming consumer attorneys and I depend on your feedback to properly evaluate this brand-new site.
I was offered a link at MyFairCredit.com if I link to it here and I decided to accept the offer. After all, 99.99% of all consumers who SHOULD sue can’t find an attorney to take their case on contingency. So hopefully they’ll find my sites so that they can see what they’re in for if they sue pro se. I’ve been offering to pay a few thousand for an initial retainer and I still haven’t found a lawyer with a clue. And yes, I saw the AZ firm of Hyung S. Choi listed and he actually sounds quite competent. I thought I’d contacted every consumer lawyer in AZ, but can’t remember Mr. Choi. I’ll of course let you know what he has to say.
So far, my readers’ and clients’ experiences with lawyers can be summed up as follows:
If you’re not rich or a victim of “sexy ID theft” and you don’t have major DOCUMENTED damages, chances are no lawyer will want to deal with you.
Of course I hope this won’t be the case at MyFairCredit.com! Please post your experiences here.

Well, this has been very disappointing.
I had one reader email that she wasted her time on a meeting with an attorney who was rude and incompetent. Well, I made the determination that the attorney is either incompetent or possibly cream skimming and deliberately providing false information so she didn’t have to take a case that’s not profitable enough.
Attorney David Szwak had originally asked me for the link and I guess I’ll contact him sometime, right now he’s probably busy since they’re located in Shreveport, LA.
I’m also very unhappy, sent my first e-mail to attorney Choi in AZ 2 weeks ago, resent last weekend, didn’t even get a response.
Don’t know what’s going on, this is about as lame as it gets.
Please do let me know about YOUR experiences, preferable in a comment here or by email.
