Magnificent Meagen

All I can say she knows what she is doing. It took about 20 minutes for her to figure it up, and all my worries were gone, and I left with my dignity back. Wonderful staff, Thank you again for waiting until 4:45 for me. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Client

I met Megan Allen on my initial visit to your office to set up an appointment for a consultation. Megan really helped me out of a really tough financial situation. I am 67 yrs of age and on social security disability. My husband had died last year leaving no life insurance for me to fall back on a...nd my mortgage company was threatening to foreclose on my home and to say it very plain, I really didn't know what to do but I knew I needed some expert advice and that is exactly what I found at Teel & Maroney. Ms. Allen helped me to feel so much better about the whole situation and it was not nearly as bad as I had thought it might have been.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Mr. Teel and all the staff are very caring and really listen to what you are going though. I went in very upset because I was having to file Bankruptcy. I was going to file 13 but after looking at everything Mr. Teel advised me 7 would be the best option for me. But I didn't have the money because I ...am on s.s . They are working with me on the bill. But the most important thing is the way they handled the creditors and took care of everything. I want to thank them for the way they treated me and made feel like I was person not a case number.

Teel&Maroney,P.L.C

I was represented by Alissa York Gay whom in my opinion along with Mr. Teel are the best lawyers you can find when it comes to needing help with bankruptcy. They were very kind and helpful in filing. I highly recommend them to anyone who has fallen on hard times and may need to file for bankruptcy....

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
