This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The Best of The Best...Mr. Anderson

My family an I are so Blessed to have such a wonderful lawyer and staff, who helped us through a long foreclosure. In the end, Mr. Anderson made sure we kept our home, he stood up for our familyand got us our home back!!! Thank you Mr. Anderson and staff we are so Blessed to have you as our lawyer.

Mr David

Mr Anderson is an excellent communicator who helped my wife and I through a difficult bankruptcy case. Our prior legal counsel was no match for an aggressive trustee attorney, but Mr Anderson rescued our retirement fund through careful, tireless dedication, working many hours to help us rebut the Tr...ustee in court. His significant knowledge base and skill set in bankruptcy court helped dig us out of a deep dark hole. We will forever be thankful that we had Mr Anderson to help and represent us.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
