Posted by Sean | October 06, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

She put my financial life back on track.

Due to a business failure, I was stuck with a large amount of debt. I struggled to make payments to lenders for a couple of years, digging myself deeper into a hole. Laura and her team helped me to understand my legal rights and the options that were available to me. Thanks to their help, I was ab...le to get out from under that mountain of debt, eliminated the use of credit cards, and now make any purchases with money in hand. Hiring Harris-Courage & Brady to help me through my bankruptcy was one of the best financial decisions that I have ever made. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to excellent service.

It is without hesitation that I highly recommend her services. Thank you once again to Laura and her team for being supportive, professional and knowledgeable in my time of need. Liz C.

Not very conveinent

I had Ms. Courage represent me in a bankruptcy. In that she was from Syracuse even though her listing said she was from Ithaca it was very inconvenient to get documents to her and at one point she missed filing a critical form she needed to file because she said she never got the document and they a...ctually tried to dismiss my filing. OMG this is my life we are talking about !!! I guess I should have gone to an attorney here in Ithaca or local to my case.

We love helping clients achieve financial freedom with bankruptcy and it is all that we do. We are happy to know that our systems worked and that you were able to receive your bankruptcy discharge. We are proud to have one of the lowest bankruptcy dismissal rates in the region. Unfortunately, the population base in Upstate New York is insufficient to allow a law firm to limit its practice to bankruptcy in just one city. In fact, google search results of “Ithaca Bankruptcy Lawyer” only show attorneys whose main offices are in Syracuse or Binghamton. We do have an office where we meet clients in Ithaca for the initial appointment. We are always looking for ways to improve. We would love to discuss your concern with you but we cannot find a client who had the problem you described, whose name is Chuck or Charles or who lives in Tompkins County. We would really appreciate an opportunity to discuss this with you further, so please call us.

  • 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.
