Excellent Attorney

After falling on hard financial times following my wife's unexpected passing, George represented me in my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. He is very supportive and makes sure you don't feel embarrassed for the situation you are in. He put me at ease for the desicion I was making, while explaining all the ...options the were legally available to me. He gave me reasonalbe expectations of what to expect throughout the process. He was upfront with his fee and didn't try to sell me any services i didn't need and obviously couldn't afford. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is considering bankruptcy. He made making a huge decision a lot more painless then expected.

First experience with an attorney and it couldn't have been better

My decision to divorce was difficult enough but the added financial burden was overwhelming and I felt hopeless. I felt ashamed just saying the word "bankruptcy." I felt I had no other way out but was afraid I wouldn't qualify, and that made me even more fearful. I took a deep breath, did a Google ...search, and took a chance on Russack Law. I met with George and almost immediately knew that I'd made the right choice for me. My meeting with George was very different than I expected. He was professional but personable, expert but not condescending, and he put me at ease pretty quickly. He explained the processes clearly and took the time needed to make the right recommendation for me, which was chapter 7. He walked me through every step and was always patient when I got emotional, which was fairly often. He made a very devastating experience bearable and by taking the time to share just plain facts with me, showed me that I didn't need to feel the humiliation I was feeling. Every time I left the office I held my head a little bit higher and I never expected that. This is the first time in my life I've engaged the services of an attorney and I'm very grateful it was George Roles.

George Roles is an excellent bankruptcy attorney

George Roles handled a Chapter 13 case for us that was then converted to a Chapter 7 case. It was clear he understood our situation and skillfully guided the case through the conversion process. He was responsive and helpful to our questions and guided us through a very difficult process in a profe...ssional and thoughtful manner. We were really struck by how capable an attorney he was when we went to our trustee meeting. Other attorney's seemed unprepared and unhelpful to their clients but George Roles knew our case intimately and how to proceed. He put us at ease and prepared us for the trustee meeting as well. George Roles clearly knows bankruptcy law and has the best interest of his clients at heart. We appreciate the excellent work that George Roles is doing for us.

Parent relieved by George's beside manner

I hired George to help my daughter with her stressful Chapter 7 filing. She was very embarrassed. George put her at ease and helped her to see the path forward from the challenge at hand. His empathy and patient answering of questions was terrific. He gave excellent advice, while not being judgme...ntal. He reflects a very fine culture that we experienced from he Russack team.
