Bankruptcy

John did a great job for me. It was so easy for me. He was with me the whole way, answered all questions before I got to ask them. Very reasonable price. On top of all of that, he's a really nice person.

Professionalism and Efficiency

I was hesitant about the idea of filing for bankruptcy and totally dreading the whole process of having to find a good attorney to help me through it. I came across the office of John Brooke and read great reviews online, so I decided to make an appointment and meet in person so I could get all of th...e right information. John answered each one of my questions in a very professional, pressure-free manner, and helped me to get things going. He made himself available to me by phone, email, and in person through the entire process. I could not be happier about the service I received. My bankruptcy was fairly quick, inexpensive, and stress-free, without a single hurdle. Thanks, John!

Excellent and Professional

When I first filed for Bankruptcy, I had a lot of lawyers calling and telling me different things. I couldn't seem to get a straight answer, until I called John Brooke. He gave me a free consultation on the phone, and was very professional. When I went down to his office, he was very understanding an...d made sure I understood all of the steps and requirements of filing for bankruptcy. He never once made me feel uncomfortable, and never judged me. It took less than 4 months to get everything in order, and because of John, I am now debt free.

EXCELLENT

From the moment I contacted John regarding my situation he was informative, helpful and wonderful. I went in to his office a nervous single mother trying to get my life back on track for me and my son,and John made things very easy and made me feel like things were going to be ok from day one. The e...ntire process was so quick and he made it very easy to understand what was expected of me and what was going on throughout it all. I have been given a second chance to get things right, I couldn't have done it without John Brooke. Thank you so much.

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.
