A True Professional

I came to Attorney Desrochers for a chapter 7 for my wife. She was backed up with credit card bills, out of work for multiple years due to injury, and now getting sued by her creditors! Matt put all of that to rest, with a simple meeting with me and my wife. It took longer than expected due to my wif...e's busy schedule and having to deal with everything at home. But with the help of Jowan, who was the trustee assigned to my wife's case, things got done. Communication was phenomenal and Matt was always there responding to e-mails, and phone calls, as was Jowan. The day of my wife's hearing came up last week and when I got home, she was a totally different person, like a massive weight had lifted off of her shoulders. "It took literally 5 minutes! All I have to do is wait for the discharge, I feel great." Thank you Matt, and Jowan for allowing my wife to come back from months/years of worry about debt and finally get on the road to being debt free. Your assistance has been amazing, and I will recommend people in the Reading area to your firm.

HARD TO FIND A GUY LIKE THIS ATTORNEY!!!!

I was being sued by a collection agency for $9200. Aditionally, this agency harrassed me relentlessly over the phone but would not consider or accept ANY of my offers to settle the matter out of court. Initially, I consulted several attorneys each of whom wanted a sizable retainer before they wou...ld consider the case; not a good deal being this a small claim. I then found Matthew Desrochers. Matthew agreed to negotiate my debt and get my lawsuit dismissed from court. He charged me a flat fee based on a mutally agreed percentage of what he saved me in his negotiation. Matthew settled this account for 50% of what I owed! To top it off he negotiated the amount 10% further to compensate me for the fact that I was harrassed by this collection agency. Matthew took the guesswork out of a very stressful situation for me. I have worked with several attorneys and unlike most, Matthew was more than fair, truly cared about my situation and answered every phone call and email promptly (including on weekends)! Attorneys like Matt Desroches are VERY HARD TO COME BY. I would hire him again and would recommend him to anyone! I only wish he practiced in additional areas of expertise, although Matt has always been happy to take a look at any legal issues I may have and even follow up to see how things turned out.

MY SAVIOR!!

If you have a financial difficulties and fed up with your credit card, or mortgage payments. Seeking an attorney should be your top priority. After having a great job for many years I suddenly discovered that I was laid off and only had unemployment. After 12 months collecting I was no longer able ...to pay most of my credit cards and even my mortgage. I went online and found Mr. Matthew Desrochers. After a great first conversation we eventually meet up; and I felt so much better after our meeting. We were able to come up with a plan that would save my home and get rid of my credit card debt; stop the phone calls and get me out of district court. Matthew treated me with respect and dignity He was very knowledge and very accessible; always returned my calls and his staff was great as well. I would recommend Matthew to any person struggling with debt.
