Posted by Tony M | December 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Bankruptcy

When my daughter's divorce left her with debts that were beyond her means to repay, I went with her to meet John. It quickly became clear that bankruptcy was the best option. He explained the process in understandable terms. He completed all the necessary filings and within a couple of months my d...aughter's debts were discharged. John was great throughout the process. At our first meeting, he immediately put us at ease. His customer service was top notch. He responded to all communications and followed through on all commitments both during and after discharge. Everything went very smoothly. I would recommend him to anyone.

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.
