Posted by Paul | February 10, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Debt Free

I was in a financial hole and Ms. Chaplin pulled me out of it. After getting in contact with Uprightlaw I given an attorney Ms Ramona Chaplin and she Immediately went to work on my case. She was able to get contact with all of my creditors and got the phone calls to stop and got me a piece of mind i...n the beginning of taking my case. After taking my case she was able to work my case through the courts and in what seem like a few months my case was closed and i was awarded my discharge. I am now free of any debt to any one. I say thanks again to Ms. Ramona Chaplin and Uprightlaw.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was opposing counsel in a case against Ramona Chaplin in 2017. Even though it was a moderately high-conflict case with a child involved, Ramona did a superb job focusing on the welfare of the child and emphasizing the importance of a co-parenting relationship. I came away from this case impressed with her commitment to doing the right thing and suggesting actions that would best serve not only her client but the child -- which is one of the highest priorities a family lawyer should have. I have a great deal of respect for her and her practice."
