An Excellent Results-Oriented Lawyer

Bankruptcy is not a pleasant situation. I suffered a painful set of circumstances beyond my control due to a serious health issue which eventually led to the loss of my employment with an excellent company. Ironically, my husband’s consulting contract was canceled when the company he serviced was sol...d and he decided to retire early. These events impacted my ability to pay many bills as a result of a drastic reduction in income. I struggled until it became impossible to continue my payments, something that was very well under control before. My husband and I read everything we could about bankruptcy options. It was now a matter of finding a good lawyer to help us with what we considered embarrassing and guilt provoking. If my intention had been to charge my credit cards in an irresponsible manner, expecting to walk away from the money I owed through a chapter 7 once I could no longer make any payments, this would have created an intense moral issue for me. A friend recommended bankruptcy and calm my anxiety by sharing his own positive experience and the fact that this can happen to anybody. I started searching for bankruptcy attorneys and found Mr. Christopher Lefebvre, known as a highly knowledgeable lawyer. I called his office for a meeting. We had an extended meeting with Mr. Lefebvre. He wanted to know everything about our situation and was always very positive. I was no longer as afraid. This meeting triggered a series of other meetings, gathering of innumerous documents, in-depth discussions, phone calls and emails back and forth for months. Each case is different and the time required to complete the process will surely vary. Mr. Lefebvre is precise, provides ample instructions, is most assuring and patient with his clients because he understands how traumatic the process can be. His legal cost was more than adequate, considering the massive economical problem he solved for my family. When we received the letter of discharge from the judge it was difficult to hold back tears. Thank you, Mr. Lefebvre (as well as your excellent assistant), for your expert help and for being such a wonderful human being. May your practice be successful for a long time. Ivonne

You Were A Lifesaver!

I first hired Christopher six years ago to handle my bankruptcy. It was probably one of the lowest points of my life doing this . I felt like I failed. When I met Chris and his support staff Maria and Giselle they all made me feel better about my situation and guided me through the whole process. Chr...is made going through the bankruptcy much easier than I could of ever expected. He handled everything! And took the stress off of me. Months later I filed for divorce and again Chris was right by my side guiding me through the process and trying to make things as easy for me as possible. He always responded right back to me either phone or by email, at times he would respond on weekends or even if he was on vacation. He is truly dedicated to his clients. He has an understanding of what they are going through when it comes to divorce or bankruptcy. He truly puts his heart in everything he does. He has guided me over the last few years now with real estate questions I have had. Like I said he and his staff have always been there. I have referred him to my family members and friends. There is truly no other attorney I would ever use. Thank you for all you and your staff do Chris!

Bankruptcy is 2011

I recently found out that a discharged lender was still effecting my credit report adversely. Chris did my bankruptcy in 2011 so I called him and asked him for advice. Within an hour he responded back to me with how to address issue and also drafted an email to send to the lender. He did this after a...ll these years and did not expect additional payment. He is a true professional and a class act.

Credit problems that occur post bankruptcy happen more frequently than you would think. I see the issue all the time and try to help former clients get the problem fixed. And if the credit bureau doesn't fix the problem then we sue them!

Thank you for reading and answering my post on Avvo:

Thank you for all help and support in my bankruptcy case. You made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate.

A lifesaver

My husband and I had 2 terrible attorneys in our foreclosure and Bankruptcy case resulting in the auction of our home. We were at our end when Chris and his firm were recommended to possibly help, script all going inChris was able to get our house back!!! Something we believed was impossible I wish ...he had been our first call!!

Erin, I am glad things did work out for you and your husband. Finding that little defect buried in the paperwork did help in unwinding the foreclosure. Far too many lawyers that market themselves as bankruptcy attorneys know very little about the intricacies of chapter 13 cases which can inadvertently hurt a consumer. Chapter 13 is a totally different world than traditional chapter 7 cases. I have been doing these types of cases for 30 years so I think I have all the issues covered for my clients. I'm glad things worked out well for you.
