Excellent bankruptcy lawyer

Jim helped me settle a bankruptcy lawsuit and saved me from outrageous asset clawbacks. He was excellent to work with when I desperately needed help.

Highly Recommended

I contacted Jim seeking counsel as one of the 2000 defendants in the Celsius crypto bankruptcy clawback case. After a few short conversations with him, I quickly knew he was the right person for the job. Once the retainer was paid, Jim dropped everything and fully dedicated himself to my case. In jus...t a matter of a few days, Jim had negotiated a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend Jim if you find yourself in a similar situation and are in need of representation.

Finding a Bankruptcy Attorney

Filing for bankruptcy is a position no one wishes to find themselves in and it comes with not only a schedule of work, but a varied range of emotions. The first step was to find an attorney who could explain the process to me. After speaking with Jim, not only did he outline the process for me, he wa...s compassionate, kind and grounded me for preparation to begin the work. With Jim’s expertise he will guide you through the process step by step keeping you on schedule but always compassionate to the flood of emotions that you will experience during the process. With Jim’s help, I have been able to complete this process and may now begin fresh again. I would highly recommend Jim Shenwick if you find yourself in the need of an experienced and compassionate bankruptcy lawyer.

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.
