Posted by TJM | November 12, 2012 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Bankruptcy experience made less painful

The change is our financial picture was a dramatic one, causing us to consider bankruptcy. As someone who never thought this would happen to them, I was devastated and embarassed. But, after meeting with Mr. Rabb, I came away with a better understanding of the process and the knowledge that I made ...the best decision for me and my family. I was treated with respect and understanding and now feel that I can have a fresh start.

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.
