Dade Legal Aid/Put Something Back, Miami FL

Very inhumane, u feel just like a ticket number. They don’t even get full details before they try to pass u off. They go based on your husbands income, my income is zero and I didn’t qualify. Sent me to an attorney referral service. How I’m I going to pay with the zero dollars and zero cents I make. I obviously wouldn’t be reaching out for help if I didn't need it but that’s our system they fail women and children. Lady sounded like she could care less what happens to u.

Dade Legal Aid Bankruptcy Intake was the service that I signed up for. I called by phone after I visited the website and read a very strict list of requirements to sign up for their Bankruptcy services however, none of these were even requested from me when I spoke to the person over the phone. They only have 1 person handling everyone's phone calls and emails. This person sounds very professional and well spoken over the phone but the person does not explain very important details about how the signup process is handled nor the length of time it may take.

If you want these details, you will need to ask all the questions because they are not provided otherwise. There is a very very very long wait to even be considered as a possible "Bankruptcy Intake". That is, if you will even be contacted at all.

I personally was ignored for weeks by this individual and I was also calling a personal cell phone at one point that was given to me as a second contact by this person.

After weeks of waiting and placing many phone calls I became a bit upset after multiple times of speaking to this individual. He suddenly became a bit uneasy and would be of no help over the phone by always making excuses that he was not in control of the intake process by any means so all he can do is try his best for you but could not make any promises. He would try his best to cut the conversation short by making himself look like someone who is not in control or in charge of anything.

So I made 1 last attempt at sending an email to this person with an urgent request for assistance with no further delays and to my surprise, he replied back to me with an attorney contact.

The attorney was very nice with very good communication and I received advice from this attorney but all the attorney convinced me of doing was to wait until court papers were served with a lawsuit.

Well after I was sued by the creditor, the attorney now decided to meet with me over Zoom Video for the third time to simply tell me they could not help me out except give me advice so that I could do the work on my own.

Well it was a very deceiving way of keeping me on the hook for Zoom Video calls which they were likely collecting payments for to simply waste my time and give me a friendly kick in my rear end as soon as I was sued by my creditor and very desperate for help to say the least.

I luckily was able to receive some private help for a very affordable price before a judgement but "I DO NOT RECOMMEND" Dade Legal Aid, to anyone who needs help unless they are willing to risk wasting their time with people who are pretending to do good work for low income individuals which to me is a dishonest practice for the people who need help the most.

In my personal experience it would be much better finding a private attorney with reasonable pricing who can offer a payment plan option.

I got divorced with the help of this place 29 years ago. I was treated excellently by a Lawyer whose name I later put because she deserves to be mentioned.

I need help to file a claim for theft and fraud, damages and losses. I have evidence and all the necessary documents. Thank you.

These people never return your calls or emails. Very disappointing for an organization that is suppose to help the poor and indigent with legal Pribono assistance.

Bad attention received. They called me back to tell me that since I live in the same apartment as my husband, they can't help me, and the reason I lived with him is because I don't have the financial resources to be able to leave. I suffer constant psychological abuse and here they have completely turned their back on me. TERRIBLE SERVICE
