Posted by Chris | April 26, 2012 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Fantastic Attorney, Stand Up Guy

John was hired to help my wife and I file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. John was very understanding and compassionate of our situation. He provided us with what we would need to file and even assisted us in the process. John went into great detail of what was involved and the step by step process that the ...courts and creditors would take. He went above any beyond dealing with our mortgage company and has kept us up to date with the information he obtains as to the closure of our case. I would recommend John to anyone who is in need of the services that he provides. He has helped my wife and I get a new start with our life. We appreciate all he has done for us and wouldn't hesitate to consult him again in the future.

Avvo Rating

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.
