Made Appt- Showed up and they did not know who I was

Made an Appointment as a new client. Showed up and they said I had no appointment with anyone. Then they asked me to wait. I waited for 20 minutes. Then went back up to the desk. They said they found my appt. but that Bruce called out sick today and they tried calling me ALL morning to tell me. How i...s that if they did not have me on the schedule. Then they said they had the wrong phone # for me. Are you kidding me????Then she would not even give me a new appt. She said someone would call me...... Yeah right. Stay Away from this place. unbelieveable

Bankruptcy (Chapter 7)

I want to thank Mr. Truesdale and everyone on his staff that worked on my bankruptcy case. Everyone was very professional and respectful. I was very nervous thoughout the 3-month process, but was told repeatedly “not to worry.” I went to the hearing last week in Trenton and my case was complet...ely “discharged.” Needless to say, I am very happy and now I have a “fresh start” to follow what I learned from the online counseling sessions. I 100% recommend Mr. Truesdale to anyone thinking about filing Bankruptcy.

Excellent Attorney-Highly Recommended

Mr. Truesdale is an extremely knowledgeable attorney in bankruptcy law. That being said he had all the answers for all my questions about my bankruptcy and helped me every step of the way. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and highly recommend to others!

Posted by Robert | February 28, 2017 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Extremely knowledgable

Bruce has an encyclopedic knowledge of the bankruptcy law. I would highly recommend. You never know what you are getting sometimes but with Bruce, you will get top-notch representation - a tireless advocate.

Honest Lawyer, excellent knowledge!

I consulted with many Lawyers prior to speaking to Mr. Truesdale. Every Lawyer, with the exception of Mr. Truesdale, attempted to coerce me into filing a Bankruptcy. No other options were given or considered. On the other hand , after listening carefully to the specifics of my case, Mr. Truesdale exp...lained that it may not be in my best interest to file Bankruptcy! What is this? It's called a Honest, competent, professional Lawyer who had the best course of action for ME at the forefront of our conversation. He did not try to "Drum up Business" by using scare tactics like all the other lawyers I spoke with had. If I,or anyone I know needs a Bankruptcy Lawyer, Mr. Truesdale will be my definitive choice!

  • 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.
