Attorney's Choice in Los Angeles

[Renee Pacheco]

Hi, everyone.

Has anyone worked for them before? They were on Century Park East in Los Angeles and I took a job for them in the beginning of October and haven't been paid I called their office and the phone is no longer in service. Am I the only one out there?

thanks
Renee Pacheco

Hi Renee,

I tried searching but I couldn't find it.

lets hope you get some answers.
thanks!

Hi Renee!

Could it be Attorneys Best Choice? This is the address I found online. I've never worked for them, just thought this could help. The address is: 9910 Research Drive, Suite B, Irvine, CA 92618. Phone no.: [phone]

HI!
My name is Joyce Holbrook. I am a court reporter in OC and LA County. I worked for Janice - Attorneys' Choice. She owes me a ton of money. I cannot get ahold of them. They said I would have to call her CPA
and deal with him. That was several months ago.
I also told an attorney and he got some info on her if I want to serve her and take her to court. We can do it together and would probably have better luck.
You can email me and we can talk about it.
thanks. joyce
Thanks

unbelievable....

sorry to hear people not getting paid, especially in these tough economic times.

Word of caution...some of these agencies just turn around and come up with a new name and continue to get away with these unprofessional practices. If it's an agency you've never worked with or do not already have some kind of relationship with, get the payment terms IN WRITING or (might be hard) get them to agree to COD delivery. Good luck. I still have an outstanding payment from Eastwood-Stein that I'll never see!

Hi, I'm also in the same boat with this lady. I would really be interested in putting her out of business. I'm sure she's supporting herself off our backs. I tried everything. I even had an attorney friend of mine contact her accountant and he told us that she had no money. I was able to sqeeze a grand out of her after I took her to court, but she still owes me $5,000. What a crook! Yesterday I did a job for another agency and low and behold I found out it was Atty's Choice's job. Now she's funneling jobs through other agencies because she probably can't get any reporters to work for her. That is dead wrong!!! Let me know if we can group together and sue her.

hi, sandra.

oh, my gosh is all i can say. so sorry to hear this. since i've put this up everyone i've talked to she owes like 5,000 or more too!! i only took a 60 pager for her. who was the agency that you took the job for the other day?? that would be interesting to know...so talk to some attorneys you know and i'll do the same and let's see what we can come up with...grrrrhhh!!!

Ladies -- The one thing I would do is contact the guy who deals with her city contract and complain, complain, complain. His name is Mike Evans, 213-978-7903. The city needs to know what kind of business entity they are dealing with.

[Renee Pacheco]

hi, melina. yes, i will call him and let him know. i have other attorney friend's at the city atty's office and will let them all know too!! wow

[Sandra Mitchell]

Hi, I also was stiffed to the tune of $5,000!!! Yes, It's been a year now and I had to take her to small claims court. Of course I won but now I have to collect, which isn't easy. Last month I put a levy on her bank account and I'm waiting for the sheriff's department to collect on it. I don't know what else to tell you. Monday I'm going to file a complaint with the CSR Board as well with the Secretary Of State to put a lien on her business. If I don't collect monetarily, I'm going to send a sheriff to confiscate office equipment. Maybe that will stop her from stealing from us court reporters that work hard for a living. I can't believe she's still in business!!! Here's my e-mail if you wish to speak with me privately, [e-mail]
