Ford Kriekard Soltis & Wise PC

Robert Soltis charged me for simply replying to his emails! He was already pre-paid for four hours just to settle a $1,000 debt in exchange for negative tradeline removal. Not only did he not do that, or even ASK for that as I requested but to get more money out of me, he charged me for "responding" to emails! I only needed to reach a settlement agreement for a $1,000 debt. I still had to pay $600 PLUS an additional $225.00 (in addition to the four hours that he was already paid) to him personally. I could have settled this debt myself for FREE! I ired him in hopes that he could negotiate the negative trade line in from my credit in exchange for the settlement amount. Robert NEVER even tried. He asked me if I'd pay them $600 versus $1,000(that's all I actually owed anyways). When I asked about the trade line request- he just said, "I can't do that." I would NEVER recommend Robert Soltis. It's really sad because I actually have had the pleasure of caring for a loved one of the Kriekard family. She was a woman of integrity and character. Based on my connection alone, I would have been comfortable partnering with this firm to help me with the population that I serve. I'd hate to think that THIS lack of integrity is a reflection of every attorney involved with this practice- so, I can only speak for Soltis. His assistant is equally as hardened. I'm sure she shares his moral compass for doing business... I even gave them the opportunity to "make this right," but they were more interested in swindling $225 more dollars from me than doing the right thing! So, charging a single mom an EXTRA $225.00 because they know that they can is horrible. $225 is a drop in the bucket for a firm of that size, but I guess if you do that enough you can pad your pockets pretty well. If the work that I asked for was done and id I genuinely owed the "extra" money, I wouldn't be taking the time to write this not so positive review. I just think that it's important to WARN others who will be vulnerable while looking for help. In conclusion: I was not informed of how my time was being used. I was not informed that I was being charged for replying to an emails that he initiated! There was multiple email exchanges that could have been clustered into one to communicate the same information. But instead, he milked my time! Charged me $56.25 per email! It's just sad. It's expensive enough to hire an attorney when you're not rich. To have the attorney take advantage of you that's supposed to help you is just disheartening. Not to mention that I work with a population that actually NEED legal representation and actually have the money to afford them. He just lost a whole lot more money for the firm than he gained over a $225.00 scam! I'm sure those that read this will scroll to the next attorney instead of them because of how they conducted business; costing them even more money... For the record, I paid the extra $225 although I don't feel that I owed it because I never used 4 hours of time knowingly. It's not like I can afford to fight the office that I hired to help me. So, unless you're rich- STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY.

William Kriekard helped a caregiver from friendship village misappropriate my 97 year old grandfather. He has absolutely no ethics. My grandfather told me he would handle our families estates and was a good man, and that is what he did to him. Makes me very upset and angry. He is not a good or ethical man. The whole dealing with this law firm caused me to have a mental breakdown. Using them to deal with estates and deaths of loved ones is absolute hell.

My father used this law firm, and I also needed to use them recently. They were great, walked me through everything, and we're a great help. They have never let us down, and when anyone needs help this is the place to go.

Exceptionally unethical business practices. Will screw you over then demand insane rates, find anyone else to take your case if you're not looking to lose miserably.

Mr Kriekard is wonderful and knowledgeable. He takes concerns seriously and yet maintains a sense of humor. We trust him to manage our family matters.
