1 /5 Emily Trader: Avoid this man at all costs. My father died when I was 17, and rather than wrapping up the estate quickly to ease the suffering of my sister, brother and I, he dragged it out for - get this - FOUR years just to get our money. It has been devastating and Im so disappointed in the cruelty of it. It got to the point that my siblings and I couldnt even reach him because he avoided our case for months at a time. Do yourself a favor and never even google his name again -- only go to him if youre looking to get scammed in a time of grief.
