Highly Recommend!
Ted handled my post-divorce bankruptcy case. It's a really intimidating decision to make - I assume that we all feel a bit like a failure to be in the position where it seems like the best or only option. I enjoyed that he had a sense of humor at our initial meetings and made me comfortable in the ...

Bankruptcy case
We were recommended to Attorney Koban through another attorney that we had dealt with in the past as he did not do Bankruptcy cases. Attorney Koban was very knowledgeable on the various bankruptcy filings and easily guided us through the process.
Theodore John Koban's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Ted brings his expertise in litigation and criminal law tohis bankruptcy practice. He is not a pencil pusher who is only filling in forms. He cares about his clients and always seeks the resolution which will benefit hos client the most."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Koban is a regular contributor to the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers Massachusetts List Serve. Many lawyers there turn to Attorney Koban for his expert opinion on bankruptcy matters."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Ted is one of the elder statesmen of the Massachusetts bankruptcy bar. His diverse experience allows him to bring broad expertise to bear on the problems facing bankruptcy clients. I'm especially impressed with the job he did on the Delbonis appeal -- Ted was faced with a Circuit Court panel whose bizarre interpretation of the Bankruptcy Code (that a credit union is a "governmental unit") could not have been predicted. Soldiering on in the face of appellate courts that are bound and determined to rule against you is a mark of a highly professional lawyer."
"Ted Koban has impressed me with his diligence, thoroughness, and care for his clients. He brings common sense to every situation, something that not all attorneys have. He's a practical fighter: He will not give in on the important issues, but he will recommend which issues deserve the fight and which issues are better served by cooperation. I endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have had the opportunity to observe Ted's work in many cases over a couple of decades. I have also recommended his services to my clients on a several dozen occasions when they were in need of a trial attorney, bankruptcy counsel or other legal services within his practice areas. Without exception my clients would later thank me for the referral. He is a superb attorney."
