Replied last August 07, 2011With 4 other attorneys having worked with you previously on your bankruptcy and no result - I was truly concerned. Thankfully all worked out and we got rid of all your debt legally, efficiently and without stress. Thank you for your re-belief in the legal system and that it does still work. I wish you the very best of luck in the next chapter of your life as you finally get the chance to begin with a fresh financial start! Grant
