Review 6/23/2010

On April 6, 2010 I contacted Prodigy Law Group to assist me in filing a complaint with my lender Bank of America. I was charged $5,000 up front and told that other members of the firm would be calling me to gather information for the law suit. They told me that my case was assigned to an attorney in my home state and she would be contacting me to gather information. During the past several weeks and months I've tried to contact Prodigy at least 100 times only to have at first one of their processors by the name of Anthony Williams tell be time and time again that my case was moving forward and I had selected the best attorneys and the business.
Recently, I was growing more and more suspicious of Prodigy practices due to so many complaints on their company's website. I was told my Anthony Williams "that kind on reaction is common in their business " but all of the people complaining had been satisfied with a resolution of their claim or their money returned.
I made it known to Mr. Williams that I had lost confidence in Prodigy's ability to assist me and I suspected that the firms real motive was to scam me out of my money. Mr. Williams dismissed my claim of course and insisted that his firm was working very hard on my case and would have the lead attorney contact me with a progress report.
I decided to contact Prodigy's accounting department to see if any charges had been made against my retainer fee of $5,000. Regina (in account) assured me that the lead attorney was working on the case and according to their records Erica Wolf had drawn roughly $1,000 from the retainer for services rendered but she wasn't sure if there would be more outstanding claims forthcoming. I asked Regina for Erica phone number and e-mail address so that I might contact her personally.
The phone number I received from Regina was a wrong number but the e-mail address worked. I contacted Erica Wolf and requested an update in writing on my case. Erica promptly replied and to my surprise no one from Prodigy had ever contacted her to work a case on my behalf. Erica went on to say that she hadn't worked with Prodigy for a long time was surprised that the firm would give out such information without her knowledge.
Erica sent CC: copies to the supervising attorney and the firms owner. Upon learning that Prodigy had been lying to me all the time I sent a very stern letter to all concerned within the law firm requesting that they return my $5,000 retainer fee. That was several days ago... Still no reply from Prodigy!!
My advise to anyone hoping to employ this company's services "PLEASE DO NOT" THIS FIRM WILL ONLY TAKE YOUR MONEY!! It's a SCAM!!!!!!!
Buyer Beware...
