Posted by Michael | October 31, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Exceptionally thorough attorney. He made sure to educate us on all options, complications and resolutions to our bankruptcy case. He made sure everything was done correctly the first time in order to avoid any complications or delays to our case. I would highly recommend this attorney for anyone need...ing this type of assistance.

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.
