Excellent bankruptcy attorney.

I was a client of Mr. Sawyer. Subsequently I referred a relative to him. He resolved these matters swiftly, according to plan, and very smoothly. I refer anyone considering a possible bankruptcy filing to his office. His partner is also very good. And his staff is very professional and responsive. ...And, if your situation involves the need to dispose of real estate, he can refer you to a broker specializing in sales by owners in these difficult circumstances.

Excellent Attorney

I have referred friends, co-workers, and family members to Mr. Sawyer for consultation and advice over the last thirty years. After speaking to him, every person I have referred has hired him for their legal situation, be it bankruptcty, adoption, real estate, divorce, business formation, or a simpl...e Will or Trust. He provides excellent advice with thorough and easily understandable directions on what needs to be done, in what order and when. His fees are reasonable and he extends himself to early hours to accommodate client schedules. I have also worked with him and for him on many matters and would heartily recommend him as an attorney for anyone in need of his expertise.
