Posted by Brian | December 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Great result!

After first talking to an attorney downtown, and they immediately stated I should go Ch. 13. The info given was confusing and inadequate! I then called Portia in Carmel area after reading good reviews, and am very happy with the results. She immediately reviewed my case and data before offering CH.... 7 or 13 advice. She was thorough and went to bat for me with the trustee and his atty many times. I you are considering filing I would recommend Portia to represent you!

Highly Recommended

Nov 15, 2010 Highly Recommended Portia was our rock during this very difficult process. We began as a chapter 13 and then half way through we had to convert to a chapter 7 so we have worked with Portia for 3 years. She never once judged us and was always there for questions and sometimes just to li...sten. Even when she had to give us information was difficult for us to hear, you knew that she cared had looked at all the options. It was obvious during our court process that Portia is very well respected by the trustees and judges. I always felt confident that we were in good hands and that she had our best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Portia and her legal services. Kristi Nov 2010
