Today I met with a paralegal for my initial consultation. She was very down to earth, professional and easy to talk to. She explained everything in great detail and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable and would certainly recommend this office for anyone who is need of services. I look forward to being able to start over and feel very confident that my case in in great hands.

Great personal experience

John Orcutt met with me personally because my case was very unique and involved a divorce. I knew I needed to file bankruptcy but at the time my husband who was seperated from me was being vindicitive and would not conscent to bankruptcy. Mr. Orcutt was able to inform me how it was possible to file without my husband interferring with my debts.

This was my first time actually coming in to seek help with bankruptcy. I always heard bad things about bankruptcy, but my sister explained the process to me. When I call in for a consultation the return call was returned quickly. I also recieved an appointment to come in quick. I was nervous, but when I came in the staff was excellent. They took me step by Step and if I had questions they answered. I was introduced to every person that would have a part in my case. I met Connie Nichols she has went way and beyond her job to talk with the lawyer about the issues I had. The lawyer was nice to respond. Yes I am in the process of hiring this law firm to handle my needs that I needed help on.

Very good Law firm usually

5.0 stars

Posted by

This law firm has been very good with my bankruptcy case until last year. My paralegal use to be Patty and she was awesome. I could email her and get an answer in two days. I have Jannell R. and I have called her for a status on several occasion and she said she would call me back and I never get a phone call or email back from her. My bankruptcy ended last year and I have not received the final papers as of yet. I do not think it take a year to close a bankruptcy case. I do not know if Jannell R. is new or just got a lot of clients but I wish she would find time in her busy schedule to let me know what is going on with my case. The last email I received from her was December 2017.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

5.0 stars

Posted by

It's been a year since filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy and it's been a new lease on life! I was drowning in bills after a divorce and an extended unemployment. Once back to work I didn't realize bankruptcy was an option until my townhouse flooded and my renters insurance lapsed. Now I am saving for emergencies and back on track financially! Thank you!

My contact in the Greensboro office was Connie Nichols. She is a total professional who has gone out of her way to be helpful to me. She was very informative about the process and was available whenever I had a question or concern. She has made a difficult situation much easier. The law firm should feel very proud that Ms. Nichols is their representative.

Thank you Connie!
