Mr. O'Keefe was very informative. He showed us step by step how to follow through with our bankruptcy. He never pressured us to continue our bankruptcy; he usually waited for our response each time. He answered our questions and concerns.
He even made it convenient for us to locate an office nearby so we could meet and to talk to us in person to go over our papers before filing. We definitely would recommend Mr. O'Keefe.
I am a solo practitioner dedicated to staying up to date on consumer law to get the best results for my clients. I enjoy fighting for the underdog and trial work.
I write my own website and stay up on technology to enable my clients to stay informed on their cases.

HONEST MAN!
Kurt represented me recently in a legal manner. I am 65 years old and never had to retain a lawyer. Kurt was great, informed me of the process, step by step and communication between us during the process was outstanding. He knows his business! The next time I need legal anything, I'll be seeing Kurt! Thanks again, my friend. Charles W.

Great Lawyer
After my chapter 13 kept getting screwed up Kurt took over and helped us through a difficult time. He kept us informed. He is very knowledgeable and was a great comfort to us. He even helped with our previous mortgage company.

Helped when others could not!
We met with multiple attorneys before meeting with Kurt O’Keefe. All of them laid out a similar course of action that left us convinced that we were going to have to go this alone. Our business as well as our personal finances was failing/failed. Kurt O’Keefe was the only attorney who proved to have the legal expertise and know how to take us through this difficult time. Many Thanks Kurt….

Kurt made it VERY simple and made me feel "ok" to face the truth and the system that set up so many successful people for financial disaster. I learned a lot from him and now have a very clear focus and clean slate. Thank you Kurt and I would highly recommend your services!

A knowledgeable foreclosure attorney!
Last year after my bank announced that they wanted to foreclose on me my hunt began for someone well versed in mortgage law. I contacted a local property law attorney and after a few hundred dollars they told me that there is nothing I can do, it does not matter who owns the note and that I should declare bankruptcy to gain a couple months... (for only 3,000.00 which I do not have). I contacted 2 other attorneys recommended to me with almost the exact same result. I don't think any of them want to take on the banks or go against the flow in these courts.
I researched similar cases and after about 2 months I found Kirt, he called me back almost immediately. I explained briefly my concerns and it took me by surprise that he knew what is happening and how to proceed! Initially I expected the same drone of an unconcerned lawyer just happy enough to collect my money... what a surprise. After talking a few minutes he actually laughed at one of my comments, like an old friend.
I am very comfortable with Kirt and know that I am in good hands. He definitely knows the laws and different angles that I hadn't even though of. As expected the Banksters are still giving me the run around and making me jump through hoops and Kirt is there to advise every step of the way.
To think if I went with any of the first attorneys and declared bankruptcy my family and I would be living in the street with nowhere to go. Let them banksters play their games, I have a big surprise for them if they EVER want to commence with this illegal foreclosure.

Excellent Representation
Mr. O'Keefe handled my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case exceptionally. He is very professional and matter of fact. I was very impressed at his "real-time" repsonsiveness. It was very comforting to have such a knowledgeable and trustworthy individual representing me during this uneasy situation.

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney
Mr. O'Keefe just finished handling my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Originally, I had another attorney lined up (that was free through my employer), but I just didn't feel right about that one. After some internet research, I found Mr. O'Keefe through www.budhibbs.com & my state's consumer advocacy group. He returned my initial phone call within 5 minutes & spent almost an hour on the phone listening to my case & letting me know what options were out there for me. He is completely competent in this area because he has been doing this a long time. He has a very thorough budget that you work out, as well as answering all of your questions and helping you prepare for your case. On the day of my case, I felt assured, prepared, and confident of my decision and that all paperwork and processes were being filled out and adhered to correctly. Bankruptcy is not an easy decision but Mr. O'Keefe is someone you want by your side as you go through the process. I would recommend Mr. O'Keefe to anyone who is having to go through this difficult journey.

World Class
Back in 2005 Mr. O'Keefe represented in in some legal proceedings w/ my ex-wife. Five years later when I needed a letter of explanantion for my new mortgage, he drew it up and e-mailed it to me the same day. He never asked me for a fee or treated it like a bother. In a world where most lawyers charge $50 to pick up a phone this was refreshing. Thanks again, and if I ever need another attorney I will deffinately be calling you first.
