Wonderful Attorney and Staff

Mr. Cope is a true professional! From the first day I spoke with him he and his staff always kept me up to date on my case. He was easy to contact and would quickly call you back. He answered all my questions and would walk me through every step. Hi would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for... a GREAT bankruptcy attorney!

Exceeded my expectations

I lost my financial partner to a stroke and nursing home and for the last 5 years I tried to maintain my livelihood and care for my children by myself. Alone and up against a financial wall I knew that bankruptcy was my only option. I feared seeking an attorney due to experiences related to me from... others. My own research revealed that I was borderline Chap 7 and Chap 13. I knew I needed to keep certain assets. Other than that, I just needed help through a complex legal maze. I chose Russ Cope because he only handles bankruptcies (both 7 and 13). At my free consultation, Russ assured me that there would be no problem for me filing Chapter 7. Honestly, I still had my doubts. I retained Russ for Chapter 7 bankruptcy knowing we could switch to Chapter 13 if it came to that. Having this option helped me keep my sanity. The process was emotionally difficult because I had worked my whole life and now, near retirement, I realized the poor choices that I made brought me to this point in time. I could no longer manage my finances by myself. Russ Cope made an uncomfortable process bearable and ultimately successful. Every piece of advice that he gave me was right on. Russ Cope displayed bankruptcy law knowledge with integrity and professionalism. He responded to, and encouraged, my questions. His staff displayed excellent customer service throughout the process by promptly and courteously addressing each of my concerns. As a result, my stress level became manageable (which was affecting my health) and my faith in attorneys is restored. I sincerely and wholeheartedly encourage you to trust your bankruptcy matters to Russ Cope. Just be upfront and honest with him and he will do the rest.

Trustworthy Bankruptcy Attorney

Cope Law Office is incredible!! They were always there to answer any questions, and are very patient. Meeting with Russ I felt very comfortable and he listened without interrupting me. He let me have a chance to ask any questions without being inpatient or rushing me out of his office. He is very thr...ough with his questioning to make sure he has all of the facts to back up his opinion on your case.Russ is very knowledgeable and up to date on recent bankruptcy laws. If you want someone who is trustworthy and always there for you through the entire process no matter what arises and at the right fair price....Russ is your guy! Not only to mention how great Russ is but his staff is also wonderful, very friendly and always helpful.

Very pleased!

I highly recommend Russ Cope and his law office. Russ is an extremely competent attorney and I felt very comfortable with him and his office. He handled my case professionally and answered all of my questions. He put me at ease during a very stressful time. I was able to witness other attorneys a...t the meeting of the creditors and from my prospective Russ stood above all of the others. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you Russ and team for a job well done!

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

If you are thinking of filing for bankruptcy, I highly recommend contacting Cope Law Offices. Mr. Cope discussed my options and answered any questions I had regarding bankruptcy. He explained what was needed to file for bankruptcy and what to expect during the 341 meeting of the creditors. Mr. Cope a...nd his staff were available and answered any questions I had regarding my bankruptcy case throughout out the process. Cope Law Office has made the filing for bankruptcy a seamless process. My first bankruptcy case was filed at another law firm, and was later dismissed. I wish I would have found Cope Law Offices first.
