Review Michael J. Maloney

The Best!

5.0 stars

Posted by Jeff
April 6, 2019

I interviewed multiple attorneys when contemplating Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Michael was by far the best for several reasons. First, he was kind, compassionate, understanding. Second, he was extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time. Our conversation was a true consultation, not just a sales job. Third, He clearly had my best interest in mind. In fact, what he suggested I do ended up saving me a lot of money over what other attorneys recommended. Fourth, he showed the highest level of integrity. No question that Michael is the guy I would recommend to anyone looking for a phenomenal bankruptcy attorney!

Great Personality at a Really Hard Time for Us

Attorney Maloney (or Mike as he told us to call him) really took the time to understand how difficult this process was for us and make us feel comfortable with our decision. By explaining all the options in a way that we could really understand he allowed us to make the best decision for our family.
