Carl Jerome Teel, Jr

Because of financial difficulties resulting from my husband's long-term illness, we contacted our family lawyer who referred up to Mr. Jerome Teel. Mr. Teel is Certified as a Specialist in Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification. At our first meeting, I found Mr. Teel to be kind and caring; he put me at eas right away. He is a savvy lawyer: asking about facts; explaining my rights; reviewing my documents. I hired him and he has done a good job of keeping me informed about the process as it rolls along. I am very pleased with him personally and professionally and highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Completely new territory to us and we have asked a thousand questions that Mr Teel has answered until we understood. His staff are wonderful and find the answers if they don't have them. It would have been easy to make us feel bad about this situation- they've always been encouraging while giving us the hard facts we needed to proceed correctly. They have told us the truth when it could have cost them. I respect these excellent people and would recommend them highly to anyone in similar need.

When I went to his office I was very nervous, however after explaining my situation and providing Mr. Teel with the requested information I began to feel better. He is a very pleasant person and his office gives off a peaceful setting. He explained all information to me very throughly and helped me to the best of his ability. When I left his office I was in tears... tears of joy. I am very grateful my friend Lisa recommended him to me. Thank you Mr. Teel.

Mr. C. Jerome Teel Jr

I want to personally thank Mr. Teel for his outstanding work and his very professional but compassionate understanding of situations and his advice of whether or not my situation needed to file a bankruptcy and helped with the decision whether a Chapter - 7 or Chapter - 13 was more appropriate. I would recommend him as an Attorney to anyone looking for legal advice on the subject.

Great experience!

From the time that I walked into the office and talked to Mr Teel he was very informative about and confident that my bankruptcy experience should be smooth and easy. If I had any questions he was very prompt to get back with me with an answer and was always on top of things. From the time I paid him he had my case filed within a day and I was super impressed!

chapter 13

He was very patience, explained what he was doing and what would happen next step by step. He sent an email to let me know what I needed to bring with me when we met to save time. Whenever I get paperwork in the mail I just stop by the office and someone explain them to me.
