Posted by Betty | August 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Retired

Excellent lawyers. I was having a financial crisis that I knew I couldn't handle. I am retired and living on a budget salary. Most of my debts were behind and I called the firm and Samuel Wright took my case. He was so knowledgeable and took me through the whole process. He is very kind, answered al...l my questions, was there with me at the creditor' s meeting and now I am getting a new start. My debts are being discharged. I could not have made it this far without the help that I received. If you are looking for a lawyer, call Samuel Wright.

Mr. Jimmie H. SmithMr.

Mr. Wright handled my case in a very professional manner. He and his staff were very nice to work with. Thanks to them I have much less financial worry. I would definitely recommend the offices of Farmer and Wright to a friend!

Mr. Wright was a professional from beginning to end of this trying time and had great advise to help on the road to my financial recovery. I would recommend this firm to anyone needing help getting their financial burden resolved.

Awesome experience

Sam was very patient with me in explaining all the different terminology associated with bankruptcy.

Posted by anonymous | May 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Excellent lawyer with great people skills

My wife and I had credit problems relating to credit cards. Sam sat with us explained our options requested me to come back with particulars. Secong sitting we spent yet another couple of hours mapping out a strategy. Third time we went over reverse mortgage possibilities. Fourth time we put it all t...ogether - we are mostly debt free now and happy. Sam is well respected in this community and can count our family as one of his fans.

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.
