Chapter 7

Michael Sheridan is a wonderful, caring, who did not judge or lecture about the situation I was in. I am a senior citizen and had considered this before but was hesitant to do so. He made me feel at ease about the bankruptcy proceedings. There was questions about a small amount of mineral rights I ow...n, but they were resolved in my favor. Michael upon reviewing my credit report was able to add a $25,000 debt that I thought did not qualify to go to Chapter 7. I am totally pleased with Michael and my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy has been granted. I am so relieved it is a huge burden lifted. Michael is a gem, I absolutely recommend him if you are considering a bankruptcy.

Highly recommend Atlas Law Firm

Michael Sheridan and the staff were very professional and personable. He was very clear in explaining Chapter 7 filing process and it went very smoothly. Their rate compared to other attorneys was affordable and had convenient locations.

Losing hope

We are very grateful for Atlas Law. Michael and his assistant were very professional and understanding in a difficult time. The Chapter 7 process went smoothly and our minds were eased. We had been dealing with old debts for a long time and could not see any way to solve them. Atlas Law did a gre...at job in helping us through this.

Best of the best!!!

From the moment I met Michael to my discharge he made me feel comfortable. He was very detailed on all the steps I involved in a chapter 7 and what would take place and the time tables. He made the whole process easy and treated me with respect and compassion. I would recommend him to anyone looking... into a bankruptcy as this is your guy!!

A pleasure to work with

Working with Michael Sheridan is a pleasure. He has made this process, which for me, was very tense and anxiety producing, very smooth. He was sympathetic to my plight from the beginning and helped me through the chapter 7 process. I found his presence very calming. I was pleased by how honest, thoro...ugh, and patient he was during this whole ordeal (the ordeal of declaring bankruptcy). I can't recommend him enough.
