Executes excellent legal advice and representation.

Hired Mr. Welch for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Mr. Welch offers and executes excellent legal advice and representation. His attention to detail, extensive knowledge of the law and one's rights, combines with his strong positive spirit, uplifting and turning cases upside down for dismissals and monumenta...l outcomes. I couldn't be more pleased with how he conducts his practice. Having an amazing office support was a huge benefactor. This allowed me to easily discuss my case in detail at any given time while also providing detailed updates, reminders, and important questions relative to my case. I can say that he goes above and beyond for every case he obtains and I highly recommend hiring him for any legal matters. He's not only professional but is genuinely a good spirited determined man that prepares to represent his clients in the most favorable outcomes using extensive research and facts that are truly benefactors in dismissing your case. I would recommend Mr. Welch to my family, friends. I can't thank him enough.

Horrible!!! Horrible!!! Horrible!!!

HORRIBLE!!!! I went into their office and paid them in full up front the first day, within 2 weeks I was told they had everything they needed and were ready to file, it took them 7 months to file my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, in the mean time my bank threatened to reposess my truck if I didn't pay them s...o I had to pay over $500.00 I should NOT have had to pay, they lied to me, hung up on me when I would not accept their explanation, and would not answer their phone or return my calls, furthermore, when they finally did file and I got my court date, I asked them what I needed to bring? and if they could let me know what to expect? they said when the date was closer they would contact me, they did not! if I didn't carry my social security card on me, which a lot of people don't, I would have been screwed as I needed to bring it, I also had to fill out paper work that was brought to me when the lawyer showed up, my appointment was at 11:00, my lawyer showed up at 11:00 so I had to sit in the hearing room and fill my paper work out during the proceedings, I would NOT recommend you hire this firm if you want good legal representation, it was absolutely the worse, nerve racking experience of my life!!!!!

Excellent Attorney to work with!

In my many years of working with different attorneys, I never thought I could trust one. I needed to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, so I called J Welch. He was very friendly the first time I talked with him. I was very happy to feel so appreciated. J Welch made sure to file my bankruptcy as soo...n as he could. In the end, everything went smooth, and every person I know I refer to Attorney Welch.
