Terry was always there to help

Terry made a tough process run smoothly and was always available to me when I needed help. He's very willing to explain the process and answered my questions in terms I understood. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Yes! There are decent attorneys!

I got myself into a situation and didn't know what to do. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep up with the payments I had every month. After thinking long and hard my only option was to file for bankruptcy. I had no idea where or to go or who to talk to. I went online and happened to find Terr...y Goddard.  He was a blessing. When I met him, I was embarrassed ashamed and humiliated by my situation but knew I had to do this.  As soon as we started talking he made me feel comfortable. He was friendly and funny. You hear horror stories about experiences people had with attorneys but I can honestly say there's not one bad experience I had with him. He didn't judge or disrespect me. He made a terrible situation bearable and treated me with courtesy, respect and decency.  He made the whole process as comfortable as possible. He explained things to me in a way I could understand and not talk over my head. I'm a simple, older adult and that meant a lot to me. His office is a bit of a distance from me so one time he met me at a coffee shop right up the road from me. I never would have expected that. If anyone is in a bad financial situation and don't know what to do and are trying to do the best they can and do the right thing but it just isn't enough, please contact him for help. For being an attorney, he's a decent human being. So if you find you're in a situation like I was, please contact him. I promise you, you will be more than pleased with Terry.

Highest Recommendation Possible

Terry is not what I would consider a typical attorney. He made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire bankruptcy process and provided much needed guidance along the way. I could not imagine going through this without him. He is a Godsend!

VERY HELPFUL AND VERY PREFESSIONAL
