Christopher Russell Carreiro

I was at a point in my life where my credit card debt had left me crippled financially. I was months behind on my mortgage and in danger of losing my home. When I spoke to Chris, I immediately knew I was in good hands. He wasn’t trying to sell me anything and he wasn’t treating me like another hope...less bankruptcy case – he was taking the time to listen to me. Chris was both empathetic about my situation and honest about my options. I had the immediate impression that this guy was in my corner, ready to advocate for me. When we started the bankruptcy process, my home was already scheduled for a foreclosure auction – while going over the paperwork in his office one night, Chris discovered that the foreclosure auction was scheduled for the very next morning! This came as a shock, as I had thought it was scheduled for the end of the week. Chris immediately approached the problem with the kind of focus and dedication you don’t see in most people – he stayed late to ensure everything was in order and filed an emergency bankruptcy that very night to prevent the sale from occurring. He saved my house and, in many ways, my life. My financial problems had left me desperate, hopeless, and completely overwhelmed. For months I was anxious around my family and friends, completely unable to see that there was light at the end of the tunnel. I couldn’t even see the tunnel. Chris made that all go away – he showed a level of expertise and understanding that is truly rare and was able to pull me out from under the crushing heap of debt that had caused tremendous anxiety and pain in my life. It’s easy to be cynical about lawyers or people who claim to have all the answers and can solve your problems with the snap of a finger. Chris Carreiro is different – while he has the intelligence and legal savvy to navigate the process, this is only highlighted by his sincere desire to help people on the road to a better life. When I found out that he taught law at a local college, I wasn’t surprised. I was also unsurprised by the fact that he serves as a Selectman for the town of Swansea and hosts his own radio show. Indeed, Chris is a tireless advocate for people and does so with care, compassion, and dedication. He possesses these traits in such abundance that I truly believe he was born with them. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Chris, for showing me both the tunnel and the light!
