Posted by Sara | November 09, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Excellent bankruptcy attorney

I had an excellent experience working with Robert on my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was professional, understanding, and made a stressful process so much easier to handle. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and guided me every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise an...d support, my case went smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Robert to anyone needing help with bankruptcy or debt relief.

Excellent, easy and professional- Highly Recommended

Robert and his staff, made my chapter 7 filing easy in a time where things were tough. They were understanding and made things very simple. I cannot thank them enough for everything and helping me restart my financial future so I am no longer crushed with the burden of debt I had. He is very easy to... work with and very flexible.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Nov 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
