Pioneer Law FirmReviews of pioneerlawfirm.com

Lowest of the low. Both Pioneer and Sphere. The mission statement on their website states that they are a company that “Helps people in financial difficulty by offering flexible and supportive solutions to manage their debts”. Lies! I tried to explain my situation including finances and was literally told that any other debt I had was “not a matter of concern to our client”. They hold all the power and they are very much aware of this imbalance. For example, when I offered a starting amount this was declined… only for them to turn around a few weeks later and change their minds! God forbid if this was the other way around. They don’t care if you’re literally left with $20… they’ll take it all. They literally were willing to leave me with $20 to last 5 weeks. They said how I survived in the meantime was not their problem… and it’s true because if I had of died due to not being able to afford food, they would claim their owed amount through mu estate. As I said, lowest of the low. They harass and bombard you with calls but when you try to contact them after you’re meeting them more than half way, they’re never available. They buy debt at a fraction of the price but do not care about this when they try to take you for 20 grand more than the original debt. They do not care about you or your situation. They won’t even send an email as this is a cost they don’t want to pay!! An email!! Sphere Legal lawyers also must be so proud of themselves… taking the time and stress of law school only to work for a debt collector company. How proud their parents and family members must be. Do not give them an inch because they will take a mile!! Call the national debt helpline before dealing with these scum. Everyone I spoke to at the national helpline said the same thing about Pioneer and their legal reps. They also take your story and add it to the list of complaints already made. The helpline gives great advice! And advice Pioneer do not want you to know!

$1072 to never set foot in a court room, $325/hr? wtf. Email $32 vm$65, wier $65, court time $325 lol. Cory Thein is a joke and I would not recommend him. Got the worst deal he could get and was even lied to when we first called Cory he said he would help him out and he had the time. The day of the court he said he had a trial.

David Krotine represents my landlord. For six months I have been attempting to get my door secured. Today I received this email message directly from Mr Krotine. “ Knock me over with a feather. He finally admitted he was wrong on something and agreed with a solution. He does not need to have his other questions answered unless Kelly wishes to volunteer the information, but don’t tell him I said this please. “ Leave alone the absolute sloppiness and breach as a lawyer to respond directly to someone with legal counsel, you can see he is advocating for continued deception. We have had an unsecured door that resulted in my wife almost being assaulted. Despite telling Mr Krotine this and providing ample video evidence of all the issues, his goal is to continue to stonewall. If you are looking for sound ethical legal counsel, I would strongly suggest not working with David Krotine.

I agree with the last person's review. This company is terrible. There is a huge lack of communication. Noone ever gets back to you. I have gotten so much miss information. Someone tells me the accounts are closed another time they say OH NO it is not.I was suppose be done a year ago, had to extend. I am now still have one creditor open and I have been asking to close with pioneer and I will pay them directly. Again no one ever gets back to me. I just hung again and she said a manager will call me back we will see. Do not use this company

I have had a very poor experience with Pioneer. There has been a huge lack of communication despite me asking for follow up phone calls or sending emails. I have been given incorrect information and now I find that I will be done with the program in November as stated but still owing a company a large amount which is unacceptable. I have been garnished by the three largest debts with no help from Pioneer. I have had to call and remind them to make payments to a debt settlement company and no one even apologized for that. I would not recommend this company and wish I had never gotten into this scam. I will be following up with someone to look into this mess as well. Stay away!!!!

Disappointed in services. I called earlier in the month of May to skip that months payment due to lack of funds to pay both my rent and payment. On the 22nd noticed that the funds earmarked for rent had been deducted from my bank account. After a call was reassured that the funds would be returned. After several calls and three weeks later am told to wait a additional 5 days to find out the outcome. And will be subject to pay a late fee because of this error.

Pioneer Law Firm was very attentive while their initial upfront payments were being collected. Following that period they have ABANDONED me and never return phone calls. At times I have been on hold for nearly an hour only to receive empty promises that someone will return my call to address my case. For over a year they were telling me everything was on schedule, however they forgot to negotiate with one of my creditors. Now after payments for 48 months, I have no resolve. When I needed a lawyer, they declined to represent me, even though a retainer fee was being paid. What is the point of paying for services that are not actually accessible or available? In addition to the retainer fees, you will also be responsible for service costs, a monthly legal administrative fee, a monthly banking fee and delivery fees for payments made to creditors. I would not recommend this firm as they are unorganized, inefficient and misleading.

I started this 3 year program with 11,000 in debt. I then called 10 months into the program to see if I could add one more debt of 14,000, thus increasing my total to 25,000 in debt. I have called and talked with customer services on multiple occasions in order to stay current with accounts being paid off. I was sued three times and when I called this last time I was informed that I still had three bills awaiting negotiation. One of the bill was the 14,000 I increased my payment almost two years ago. This is the kick in the teeth. They don't know if they will be able to negotiate the last two bills as I might not have enough funds in my account. However, I will have paid over the 11,000 to this agency which was the original debt amount. It was just an estimate based on market at the time I signed the contract and they cannot be sure if they can actually settle for the amount of the contract.- Direct Quote from customer service. I had 12 accounts that I consolidated in total. Three of the accounts were settled for more than I owed and the other accounts were settled for what I owed. I have save no money in this program, in fact they want me to continue to allow them to negotiate the last three accounts with a new contract. There is no reason for me to trust that even if I entered into a new contract that they would pay off the last three accounts. This is based on past and present performance.
