I was fully embarrassed to have to file bankruptcy but Linda Blonsley and her staff made me feel comfortable and they were very supportive. Every issue & potential outcome was explained in detail and I never felt I couldn't call or email for even the smallest question. She or her staff responded qu...
"I have worked with Linda on several chapter 7 matters as counsel for the trustee. Linda is professional, organized, and responsive. She works hard to achieve the best possible result for her clients."
"I endorse Ms. Blonsley. She has served the Northern Division of the Central District for five years with great precision and expertise. She is an attorney who works well with the trustees and presents forcefully in court when required. Ms. Blonsley also makes a point of engaging in community service. Highly recommend."
