The best to do it

We worked together back in 2014 and he was awesome. I definitely would hire him again no doubt. We did lose contact for a while because I wanted to consult with him and I couldn't find him. Definitely the best bankruptcy lawyer.

Compassionate and knowledgeable

We used Jack (John Michael Spain) for a simple bankruptcy back in 2013. He worked with us on his fee, allowing us to pay over the course of several months. He explained everything very well, and we had no difficulty with our bankruptcy proceedings. I would not hesitate to hire him again today if I n...eeded counsel.

In a word "AWESOME"

Jack gave me an honest evaluation of my financial situation. During my consultation, he advised me NOT to file bankruptcy. It is refreshing to find an honet attoryney in this day and age. I will reccommend him to anyone I run across who is considering filing bankruptcy.
