Scott Shumaker Law Offices Non Attorney gives BAAAD legal Advice!! Sacramento California

I am genuinely sorry that you had a negative experience with my office.  I strive to ensure that everyone is given the highest quality service and legal advice.  I’m sorry that you felt mislead.  I was not part of the phone calls that you describe so I can’t really comment on what was said.  Needless to say, my present paralegal is highly knowledgeable but knows that he is not permitted to give legal advice.  Anyone who asks for me directly will get my personal and complete attention. 

Obviously I don’t know if Stephanie (the employee of whom you speak) gave you legal advice or if she simply gave you legal information, which she is permitted to do.  Imparting knowledge is perfectly acceptable for trained paralegals.  Advising you on your best course of action is not.  That’s my job and I take those responsibilities very seriously.

As for Stephanie and Jaimi’s responses above, I never authorized those rebuttals and I certainly don’t endorse them.  They wrote those reviews on their own and without consulting me.  My present paralegal is extremely professional and I strive to ensure that no one comes away as unhappy as you did.

I actually know the person who said all that. It was that Linda Maxine chick that applied here for a job and we turned her down cause of lack of experience. Her new coworker even admitted that she said that. Some people are idiots. Get a life. She's lucky we aren't suing her due to false accusations. 

Regarding rip-off report #440359 there has been a mistake in the spelling of the entity complained about. A quick search on the California State Bar website (click link below) will reveal a "Scott Shumaker" and a "Scot Shoemaker".  The problem in this Rip-Off report is that the person complaining used "Shoemaker".  I am Attorney Scot Shoemaker and am not the person complained about in this report. This should be corrected by the person who made this report or the editor.

This information is completely inaccurate. I have never said I am an attorney nor have I ever given legal advice over the telephone or in person to anyone. I answer questions that potential clients may have. I inform people of their options. You are eligible for a chapter 7 discharge every 8 years so Miss Maxine is able to file again. I tell everyone that they can receive a 1099 for the forgiven amount on their mortgage in a foreclosure without filing Bankruptcy. I have many happy clients and do apologise if Miss Maxine miss-understood my answers to her questions. But everything that she is stating is completely un-true!
