Great Lawyer! On the ball, and knows what is going on!

Everything was perfect. From the initial meet and greet, to choosing him as my attorney, and to him representing me in court. Everything was fantastic. Jeffery Badgley is very knowledgeable, and knows what he is doing as well. Tanya is on the ball and always knows what to do, and where to go when som...ething comes up or happens. Stefanie is a great, she always knows who to get you to when you need to talk to someone, or when something comes up, she always make sure to let you know as well. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good lawyer.

Amazing bankruptcy lawyer!

Mr. Badgley and all the personal working in the firm are extremely friendly and helpful! They take no time answering your emails with questions. Mr. Badgley and mrs. Tanya DeMarcoytar helped me throughout the whole bankruptcy process and helped me be successfully with my petition.

Outstanding Attorney

Jeff and his team were there every step of the way. Immediate replies for any questions or concerns that I had from the beginning of my case to the very end. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mr.Badgley and his team. A very hard-working man with excellent values. I would recommend him to anyo...ne that needs a great attorney.

SAVED OUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

My family could not imagine being in more capable hands during a time in our lives that had so much uncertainty. We new from our first consultation with Mr. Badgley that we were going to be just fine in the future. Once he explained the process in great detail he were at ease with all of the worry th...at a chapter 13 would bring. For the last 5 years, Mr. Badgley has been there to answer questions and keep us up to date with any changes or items that needed to be addressed. The thing that we found most comforting for us is that the entire Badgley Law Firm made us feel welcome from the start and did not make us feel embarrassed or ashamed for our financial situation. I would highly recommend that anyone in our situation do themselves a favor and speak with Jeff Badgley before making a decision on how to handle a bankruptcy. He pointed us in the direction we needed to go and we survived the hardest time in our financial lives. We will always be grateful to the Badgley Law Firm.

Knowledgeable & Compassionate!

The decision to file bankruptcy is never an easy one. After incurring a large amount of debt due to my wife's chronic health conditions, we were struggling to make ends meet, even with both of us working. Contacting Jeff Badgley was the best decision! He was very considerate and took the time to set ...our minds at ease about the process and the ramifications. His office was available any time my wife or I had a question, which was often. I cannot recommend Badgley Law Group more highly. They are personable, knowledgeable, and compassionate to their clients.

  • 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.
