Excellent Consultant

Although Mr. Amore is an Attorney from another state, he was kind enough to answer my question and give me a consultation. The advise and steps to take for my particular situation was very helpful, and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

A move out of California

I was in dire straights needing to move out of California for a wonderful chance to work with some priests who were starting a vestment making venture. I was thrilled that my hobbies were going to have a purpose. But I couldn't sell my mobile home and my income came in and almost all of it went rig...ht out to pay bills. It was suggested that I talk to a bankruptcy lawyer. I consulted with one in California, but he said there wasn't much he could do for me because I didn't have any assets to protect, but the bill collectors needed to be kept at bay. He found a bankruptcy Lawyer right in Charles Town, WV. He told me to just move to WV, leave the house, and talk to the lawyer in WV. That is what I did and Aaron was very nice, very helpful and kind. He also told me of the lack of assets that put me out of the bankruptcy realm, but also helped me out of the two credit card debts that I had and the home alarm company that had signed me up for a five year plan as I'm leaving and told me to take the alarm with me and use it in my new place of living. I told them that I was going to be renting and couldn't use it there but they still wanted me to pay the five years. Aaron not only settled all of the debts I had but didn't charge me a penny. I didn't know there were people like Aaron in existence but I found him right here in Charles Town, WV. Thanks to Aaron, my hobbies have a new purpose and I just love the priests that I work with. I wouldn't have had the chance without Aaron's help.

Fantastic response time and advice!

I contacted Mr. Amore about an auto insurance lawsuit and bankruptcy that might affect my real estate, and he gave me fast and accurate advice about which direction to head. He made some suggestions about my case, in addition to suggesting that I consult an attorney located closer to me. In addition......he even gave me the name and web link to the attorney to contact. Therefore I highly recommend contacting Mr. Amore. He not only gave me suggestions but helped point me in the right direction! A++++ service.

Bankruptcy

When I received what I deemed to be inappropriate direction from my initial bankruptcy attorney, I felt it necessary to retain someone else. As a potential error had been made, I needed someone who would, at the 11th hour, ensure that my interests were protected while at the same time taking action... that was appropriate and ethical -- both for the lawyer and for me. Mr. Amore was thoughtful, knowledgeable and effective. At the same time, he treated me with respect.
