Chapter 7

My husband & me have been struggling since last of October on our bills. No matter what we tried to do we kept staying behind. So that's when we both were just browsing the internet about Bankruptcy lawyer's & Mr. Teel's office appeared. Gave them a call, explained our situation, got information of w...hat we needed to do, & then just like that we had a appointment that following Friday, April 24th to see me. Teel in Jackson. From there he was so very helpful & much understanding to our circumstances. He even helped us in a Car program for those filing for Bankruptcy Chapter 7. Then from there it was like million bricks had been lifted off of our shoulders. I would recommend anyone & anybody to this law firm of Teel & Morany in Jackson.

Bankruptcy

I had to file bankruptcy on my credit cards. I was given Jerome Teel's name by a friend. I called and spoke with his secretary and she was awesome. She told me everything that I would need and sent me information to fill out online so the process would be quick. During my consultation, Mr. Teel a...nswered any question I had and told me everything that would happen during the process. When I went back to file, he went over everything again and made sure I understood. He even answered emails and other questions that I had before I went back to file. He has done a great job with my case.

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.
