So happy I made the call to Jesse

I had read all of the other reviews prior to calling Jesse for help with my Chapter 13 filing. Now having had my own personal experience with him, I couldn't agree more with all of his other clients. His direct communication, incredibly fast response time to emails and messages, and attention to ever...y detail are nothing short than incredible. I was incredibly nervous when I started the process. I was embarrassed that I had allowed myself to be in the situation I was in and scared about the repercussions of filing Chapter 13. Jesse made several personal calls to me and those fears flew right out the window. He put me at ease by putting my situation into a larger perspective that I couldn't have seen on my own. He is honest, so intelligent and yet, spoke me to in terms that were comfortable, understanding, and uplifting. Before calling Jesse, I thought that I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel. Not only did Jesse show me that light is there and within reach, he helped me turn this situation into a chance at a fresh start. I couldn't be more grateful for Jesse and his staff for being there for me in a time I needed help the most.

Top Notch

Jesse is a top notch lawyer. He is prompt at returning calls from the first contact, is punctual in showing for court, explains things in laymens terms and goes above and beyond. I cannot praise him enough for his tireless efforts. I had a very compliacted case involving overdue property taxes and wa...s close to foreclosure. The county's lawyers dragged out confirming my case requesting multiple revisions as they saw fit. Each time Jesse modified the documents and didnt charge me a single penny more for his endless hours of work. He will do anything and everything possible to make your case work. I highly recommend giving him a call first as you shouldn't need anyone else. Thanks again Jesse. You saved my home and my finances!

best lawyer I ever hired.

Where do I start? Originally hired jesse to get us through chapter 13. After a couple years and many life changes, he helped us seamlessy change to 7. Through the entire 5 year process, jesse answered every email and phone call promptly and helped ease our minds. Things are finally looking up for us.... Thank you Jesse!!!!

Very professional and compassionate!

I waited way too long to file bankruptcy. Once I had hired Jesse and my case was filed, I wish I'd done this much sooner. Jesse removed all negative stigma I had attached with this process.. He was there with me all the way. My questions / fears were laid to rest by prompt responses and courtesy. ... Highly recommended!
