Beck Redden
Attorneys for Constitutional Arguments / Appeal
After 16 months, Beck Redden summoned the Burkes’ to their offices to “discuss” the appeal. Clearly, that was not the agenda. The agenda was to ensure damage limitation as they had not met their new clients since being given the case over 16 months prior. At the meeting, there was no discussion, it was a demand to walk away from the case and relinquish our home to Hopkins/Deutsche Bank. We refused the offer.
The Constitutional Arguments
It is hard to comprehend how a successful appellate lawyer was so disinterested in presenting a case that would provide great relief for Texas homeowners. At no time have we seen this zealous litigator act like this for the Burkes’. It’s been constant push-offs and negatives since the case file landed on her desk. She had no interest in our plight, as documented during our time with Beck Redden.
The Beck Redden “Team”
Connie Pfeiffer
Never once stated we had a case that could be won. For months and months she claimed she needed to talk to a “real estate expert” re the Hon. Judge Smiths’ ruling and that person never materialized, nor did a verifiable opinion appear before us.
Fatima Ali
Told John Burke they would not represent us on appeal, told the Hon. Judge Smith she agreed with Hopkins on MERS.
Melissa Patak
Melissa was included in every email. We are unsure of her role, but it appears to be that similar to a paralegal, assisting the case for Connie.
Parth S. Gejji, Associate
This associate was apparently added to our case for appeal per the Court filing records, but we never met him.
Lawyer I
Two associates went to the very first status hearing at request of Connie. They failed to impress on first conference hearing with Smith. The Burkes’ received a call from Connie, in a panic, saying they had “records” etc. The fact was they had not studied case and we corrected their errors verbally. It was not a good start.
