This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Trustworthy and honest Bankruptcy Attorney

Scheduled a Consultation with him and wished I had done so before I already filed a Chapter 7 Business filing in another County prior. Mr. Tardif spent an hour with me and examined all the issues I could be facing with my existing case. I felt relieved afterwards knowing that I spoke to an experien...ced and honest Attorney. He should be anyone’s first call when considering such a serious filing.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

trust but verify

After several years of dealing with him and charging me $ 200 a year and only once , for checking and verify a couple documents and nothing else , he left me hanging. I emailed him , called his office and speaking to his secretary and making sure that he got my emails and she telling me that he will... return my call(s) never did. I always paid him ahead of time and making sure he received my paperwork , he just left me with no explanation or return calls . So before you hire him make sure that he will be able to do his job and return your calls and do your work.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knows his stuff, Quick Responder, & Thorough. Looks like a real pro to have on our side.

Initial meeting and correspondence so far has be top notch. In queries to a number of AVVO top picks, Mr Tardif responded fastest, and most completely. In our meeting, and follow up emails, Mr Tardif has given good seasoned advice. We plan to continue to work with him.

Excellent Counsel

I have repeatedly referred friends and associates to this office. They were thorough, friendly, timely and very professional. We were able to speak with the office regularly and as well as via email. The case was handled quickly, with the results the attorney's anticipated.

A++ Makes you feel at ease with one of the biggest dicisions you will ever make in your life.

Not knowing much about filing Bankruptcy, and never imagined we would be interviewing Bankruptcy Attorneys. Bob Tardif Jr. took the time to answer questions as they came up, made us feel very much at ease and advised us exceptionally well in many ways that was in our best interest. We are so better o...ff with the information he was able to provide to us. I would highly recommend Bob Tardif Jr., he will truely direct you in the right direction.

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.
