Settlement with an Aggressive Creditor

My Wife and I lost a company back in 2010, not sue to us, but because a banker that singed our business loans was thrown in prison for embezzeling money. We both signed a personal guarantee for a lease for accounting software. Years later, the creditor pursued us heavily. They garnished wages, filed ...liens on our houses and threatened all kinds of other things. I hired an Attorney to negotiate a settlement prior to getting Glen involved and they failed. I was hesitant to hire another Attorney for the same thing and was contemplating bankruptcy. My Wife and I hire Glen, through a recommendation. We met with him one time and hired him shortly after. Glen worked with me the entire way and negotiated a very fair settlement agreement. We signed the agreement today and now I will be making payments. Once the settlement agreement is paid, my Wife and I will have our lives back again. I would like to thank Glen for all of his hard work to get this resolved. I would absolutely hire Glen again. He is true to his word and will get the job done. He treats you like he would want to be treated. Thanks Glen! My Wife and I are forever grateful for the way you handled our matter. - Dan -

Great Attorney and Person

I closed my business about 6 months ago and had out standing loans out. Glen consulted on the do's and do not's of filing bankruptcy. He was able to negotiate on one loan that was almost $14,000 down to $1500. Everything else he negotiated just went away. I don't know how he did this but me and w...ife were so pleased we did not have to file bankruptcy. I can only say amazing job Glen.

Fantastic Attorney

Glen was so helpful in getting our business set up for legal success. He was very knowledgeable and direct, which is what we needed! Glen worked with us to file all of our needed paperwork quickly and correctly. I have already suggested Glen to other business owners that need advice and assistance.

8 Year Relationship and OIC success

Have never regretted accepting the advice to go with Glen as my corporate and personal legal counsel. We have endured and succeeded in some difficult exchanges with the IRS and Glen always provided the necessary insight from a local area perspective and with a specific preparation and execution of a... plan. Our meetings were never rushed but always on time and meaningful. He was always a good teacher and could clearly explain the technicality of the issues and our available options.

Professional excellence

Glen was excellent in all phases of the legal process. He gave me knowledgable and professional advice and always had my best interest at the top of his list. Glen always kept me informed of what was happening, and what actions I needed to take. Glen was way ahead of the legal process by informing... me of all possible problems, and how to avoid them. He was easily accessible when I had questions and concerns. He made the entire process easier to understand. It just made me feel better knowing he was on my side. Glen did all this himself. He wants to know you and your situation, that is why he does all the work himself. Doing the work himself gives him the ability to handle the case with greater expertise. If you want a lawyer that will really help you through your tough situation, you need Glen Watson.
