Unapologetic Bankruptcy Lawyer Behavior at its Worst

I was actually referred to Chandler law firm by a very close friend and regret this choice. I will never use this lawyer, nor will I refer her to anyone. Ms. Chandler and her assistant Ms. Murray both lack accountability and unprofessionalism that caused me great concern when it came to prep...aration, communication, reviewing my chapter 13 documents for accuracy and completion as well as receiving a response or call returned prior to the first meeting with the bankruptcy trustee. The attention to details was absent. I was attacked via email with subliminal threats of having my vehicle reposed if I hadn't made my trustee payments through TFS which I provided copies of the payments to attorney Chandler after my case was confirmed by the trustee. The tone of the email communication was very condescending; 11/6/2025 Attorney Chandler and I agreed to meet at her office on 11/12/2025 at 2:00 to sign a new plan for my chapter 13. I arrive; the doors were locked. I send an email saying I was there for my 2pm. Ms. Murray, her assistant was there. I waited 15 minutes. The assistant never opened the door. I wasted time, gas to drive across town so I left and went home. An hour later, Ms. Chandler sends an email blaming me for the meeting not happening. Long story short, once again, lack of attention to detail and accountability, I found my email response to her agreeing to meet on Wednesday November 12, 2025, 2pm dated November 6, 2025 @5:36 pm. I forwarded said email to her. No apology, no accountability, just rudeness and disrespect to a paying customer.

Kim Chandler Bankruptcy Attorney

Kim Chandler is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney. She is an expert in bankruptcy law, and she uses her knowledge to help her clients in every way possible. She is kind, compassionate and understanding; and at the same time, she is a fierce defender of who she represents. I always felt she had my be...st interests at heart. She had my back, and alleviated my embarrassment, apprehension, and fear around the process of filing.....that it was OK. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me during a very challenging time in my life. An extension of Kim’s expertise and professionalism is reflected in her staff, who are always friendly and upbeat. They make you feel like you are a part of an extended family. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim Chandler and her team; and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Thanks For Getting Me Back On Track

After retiring my finances got out of control and I had to file bankruptcy. This was a scary thing for me to do because I didn't know what to expect. I spent several days calling different bankruptcy lawyers. I called about fifteen different bankruptcy attorneys and was unable to get help from t...hem because they did not have the time to help me and basically rushed me off the phone. At that point I started to give up but I decided to make one last call and that call connected me to Kimberly Chandler. Ms. Chandler answered the phone with such a warm and friendly voice. She greeted me with good evening and asked how she could help me. She spent quality time with me and answered all of my questions. After our first conversation, I knew I had found the right attorney. At my first appointment, I was nervous but her and her staff spent quality time with me to explain all the policies and procedures of bankruptcy and that made me feel very comfortable. During the filing process if I had any questions, her and her staff was always professional and made sure that I understood. I am glad I made that last call and connected with her because after filing it took a big burden off my shoulders and helped me put my life back on track. If you are looking for an exceptional bankruptcy attorney go to her web site and see why so many people like myself are happy they chose her. Thank you Attorney Chandler for helping me put my life back on track.
