Douglas Manley completely failed to properly represent me in a bankruptcy case. When we got to court he clearly had not reviewed the materials relating to my assets. A few minutes before court he informed me he "didn't know if we can save your lots (I owned some property I assumed would be considered part of my residence). Immediately at the beginning of the court the trustee in the case was angry at me "for declaring the wrong kind of bankruptcy." Rather than take responsibility Douglas Manley lied to the trustee and blamed my former attorney, who had suggested I hire a bankruptcy lawyer as he did not have that expertise. Because Manley had not properly reviewed and evaluated my case, we had to fill out all of our paper work again to satisfy the trustee. Manley also failed to help us protect our mortgage, which was up to date with no missed payments. The bank put us on the bankruptcy list and Manley failed to help us get us off and failed (if he knew) to inform us that this was even a possibility. After threatening to file a complaint with the Colorado Bar Association against him, he did finally resend our information to the bank reiterating our intent to pay the mortgage, to no avail. It was his job to protect us from a predatory lender, that's why we hired him instead of filing ourselves. Manley also repeatedly failed to respond to my letters and e-mails asking about my case, and continues to do so. He has offered no explanations for his failure to properly advise and represent us.
