This is the team you want!

Will and his team know what they are doing. They were very comforting and reassuring to my wife and I during such an emotionally draining time. Super efficient and quick. They followed up and answered all my questions promptly during the process and after we secured the Chapter 7 discharge. I can't ...recommend them enough.

Exceeded expectations in every way.

I cannot say enough about the job Will did for my family. This was not a small case and involved the SBA and over seven figures. He protected my home and got this taken care of despite my high income. He answered my text (from his cell) and was very attentive from the very beginning. Sharon is also e...asy to work with. I recommend him 100%.

Exceptional Attorney

I can't stress enough how confident my wife and I are that we chose the right attorney. We were small businesses owners that lost everything during the COVID pandemic, and our case was somewhat complicated because of the multiple businesses we owned. We interviewed several different attorneys, and ...it was apparent very early on that Will was the right person to see our bankruptcy case through. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, I would highly recommend speaking to Will. And I would also suggest that you go with the attorney who is going to take the extra time to review and analyze your case in order to ensure the best possible outcome. Will went above and beyond and was always available for questions/concerns without punching a clock and asking us for more money after our initial payment to his firm. We were confident when we chose him, and after resolution of our case, I am even more confident we selected the right attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
