About Kenneth

Learn Kenneth’s areas of practice.

Practice areas

I know that providing caring thoughtful assistance is most important to my clients, and I make sure that I provide each with the time and attention needed to handle his or her difficult financial problems.  No one wants to file bankruptcy, but it is a good program to help those in need get back on their feet financially.  Bankruptcy laws and rules can be confusing and complicated, and I have the experience to help guide clients successfully through the many pitfalls and potholes that can appear along the road to financial recovery.

I would highly recommend Ken for any bankruptcy proceedings. Let's be honest, bankruptcy is not fun and it is not a procedure you want to be involved in. But if after your free consultation with Ken, he feels it is your best solution, you can't find a better lawyer to handle the case for you. He treated me with respect; he laid out exactly what was required from me; he maintained constant communication with me; and his experience of being a Trustee ensured that my I was completely prepared for our meeting with the appointed Trustee. I never felt like he just rubber stamped my case - in fact he made several significant recommendations and changes to my case as the formal information gathering process progressed which resulted in significant savings for me. He never stopped working towards my best interests - you can't ask for anything more!

Highly Recommend Ken
Ken is very knowledgeable and thorough. We had constant communication through the whole process and my case was well prepared. This was evidenced by attending the Trustee meeting and seeing other cases questioned. He gave expertise advise and made the process very smooth. I would highly recommend Ken.

We cannot say enough about Mr. Ken Gordon. He had handled a very complicated bankruptcy case for us. He is a very professional attorney in addition to being a very kind man. Once he accepted our case he was in constant communication with us. He never made us feel as though we were asking too many questions. In addition to going through bankruptcy we were-and still are-going through many personal and health issues. Mr. Gordon took the time and patience with us to speak to us by any means-email or phone-whatever it took for him to reach us. Mr. Gordon is quite the gentleman and we would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience
I could not have asked for a better bankruptcy lawyer than Mr. Gordon. He guided me every step of the way and made me feel comfortable even when anxiety struck. The only thing I would have wished for was a little more in the update of the process as we went along, as reflected by the "good" rating in the Kept me informed area. That being said, every time I emailed him, he responded quickly and answered my questions thoroughly, so that could have just been my nervousness in the process. All in all, not that I would ever want to file bankruptcy again, but if I did, I would choose Mr. Gordon without a second thought.

Professional Reccomendation
Working with Ken was very reassuring; from my first meeting I felt like I was in good hands. He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. He handled my case from start to finish without complaint. I would highly recommend Ken and his firm.
