Carolyn Secor is the perfect lawyer for filing bankruptcy

My wife and I had a business go under in 2019. Carolyn treated us with respect and told us everything we needed to do, to file our business bankruptcy. She took away the guilt we were feeling by being so supportive and sweet. Her assistant Sam, guided us through every step that we needed to follow fo...r the trustee. Because we had so much debt from the business, we also had to file personal bankruptcy. Again Carolyn and Sam were there to explain everything and guide us through the process. They were always there to answer our questions. Carolyn even called us back to answer our question while she was on vacation in another country. How many lawyers would do that? Both bankruptcies went smoothly because of Carolyns' expertise, efficiency and knowledge. We recommend Carolyn Secor to everyone who needs an efficient lawyer who treats you like family and will get things done . She makes an uncomfortable situation comfortable. Thank you so much Carolyn we appreciate you getting us through this difficult time, Ron & Cory.

Awesome Lawyer

Ms Secor and her assistant treated me with dignity and respect throughout my entire bankruptcy process, fully explaining all my options, steps and keeping me informed from the beginning to the very end. They truly made me feel like they cared, kept me updated at all times, promptly returned all call...s and emails. I would highly recommend them to anyone, family, friends and associates. I will continue to use them in future as needed. Thank you to a wonderful team for being there for me when I needed you the most.

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.
