Jerold T. Coon

We felt like the weight of the world had be lifted off our shoulders after visiting with Jerold T. Coon. I had been speaking for about a year with GreenLeaf Credit counseling services after having trouble paying credit card bills. Our finances were at a point that GreenLeaf suggested we see a bankru...ptcy attorney. I had appointments with two attorneys in town that weren't able to help us. Greenleaf referred us to Jerold T. Coon of Midland. Referrals aren't always guaranteed to have a positive outcome but we were lucky. Jerold and his wife were refreshingly down to earth, competent, and non intimidating. Our first meeting was a thorough review of our expenditures and income. Jerold guided us through the process in most a comfortable and non judgmental way. After our court date in Bay City, I did remind him that this was every day business to him but it was our entire life to us. It was over. We had our lives back and we could breath again.

Mr. Coon reviewed several options for filing bankruptcy. We started with chapter 11 and wound up with chapter 7 because after he reviewed all our incomes and expenses he found we did not have any money at the end of the month to pay anyone. My husband and I are retired. I had just retired 5 mont...hs before we started Bankruptcy proceedings. I thought I had gotten the better part of the credit cards payed off, but I soon found that we had to charge our groceries and medicines every month because there was not any money to pay cash for them AFTER THE BILLS WERE PAYED.

Jerold spent a lot of time with me during the planning stages of bankruptcy. I had many questions and concerns. He put me at ease and helped me out of a jam when I lost my job. I was able to save all my property and eliminate all unsecured debt. For the last year, I only buy stuff with cash. No more ...plastic cards with high interest and fees.
