Like Family

Ms. Stout handled our bankruptcy case which started as a ch 13 but changed to a ch 7. She was flexible with meeting times and always made you feel like family in her home. She was more than reasonable with her fees and we will always be grateful for all that Ms. Stout and her team did for us during... a very stressful time in our lives.

Emergency Bankruptcy

I called Ms. Stout's office in a panic; my call was answered promptly by Gloria, I explained to her my situation, she was very nice, knowledgeable and helped me calm down. She quickly put me on the schedule to meet with Ms. Stout the following day. Gloria sent a follow up email confirming my appointm...ent and advising me on what to bring with me to my appointment and directions how to get to their office. I specifically liked the fact of receiving a follow up email so I had everything in writing (my memory is horrible). The email was professional and easy to understand. I was super nervous when I arrived at Ms. Stout’s office but the atmosphere was comfortable and the office staff friendly. After speaking with Ms. Stout, she recommended that I file an “Emergency Bankruptcy”, in which prior to, I had no knowledge of. So Ms. Stout and Gloria worked on getting my emergency bankruptcy filed that day, even though there was a great time crunch. The day before going to court, I received a call from Gloria, she confirmed the date and time of my court date and she wanted to ensure that I was going to be able to make it. She also advised me of the traffic in the mornings, possible difficulty finding a parking space and that I will have to pay to park…had she not advised, I wouldn't have known. The next morning I met Ms. Stout at the courthouse, she was by side during the questioning and walked me out afterwards. I am very satisfied with Ms. Stout and her team; I would refer anyone to her in a heartbeat!!

Sincere Attorney and Office Staff!

Such a great attorney and office staff. Words cannot express how thankful we are that we found such a wonderful attorney to handle our chapter 7. Going through such a stressful time, it was such a relief to find a attorney that seemed to really care about us. Gloria and Pat were only a call or email ...away. Answered every one of our questions, and trust me there were plenty. Responded fast to any question we had too! I cannot recommend her enough!

Best Attorney You Will Find

Patricia Stout helped me with my custody case and a bankruptcy. Words cannot describe how amazing Patricia Stout is. She is not only extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the law, but she is also extremely caring and supportive. She is very effective and will get you results. I was never afraid t...o walk into mediation or a courtroom when Pat was by my side. She fights each battle as if it were her own. Her entire staff is very knowledgeable and profesional. I would highly recommend Patricia Stout. I have heard horror stories from other friends about attorney's they have hired and how they feel like just number to their attorneys. You will never feel that way with Patricia Stout.

A Life Saver

I owned and operated my own company which failed in the recent economy. I was swimming in debt from business loans and was close to losing my house. I had consultations with several "big wig" attorneys who provided me with extremely bleak outlooks that included giving up my home. A friend highly rec...ommended that I contact Attorney Patricia Stout and my life, since then, has changed for the better. Ms. Stout was extremely knowledgeable from day one, and the information she provided was so extraordinarily promising (unlike the other attorneys I had consulted with previously), that I didn't believe her at first. She reassured me of the laws that were in my favor and sent me the documentation to back up her advice. I couldn't believe that the other attorneys I had consulted with over a 5 year period were not aware of the these same laws. Their advice was completely wrong and they were not well versed in bankruptcy laws in the detail that she was. After working with her, the weight and problems I had been carrying for 5 long years were resolved in 5 short months, and furthermore, I was able to keep my home. To provide you with a measuring stick, I had a friend file a simple bankruptcy 8 months before I did, and my complicated bankruptcy was discharged 6 months before his was. That's how efficient & diligent Ms. Stout operated. Her paralegal, Gloria, was absolutely amazing, efficient, diligent, and an absolute professional. I HIGHLY recommend Ms. Stout. She gave me a fresh start, and I will be forever grateful.
