Great Lawyer

I spoke with a couple different lawyers before deciding on Mr. Peter Greenlee. The other lawyers were focused on how quickly I could file bankruptcy and how much it would cost us to file for bankruptcy. When I first met Mr. Greenlee, I didn’t feel like he wanted to rush me into anything. He sat down ...and looked at our entire financial picture. He explained all of our options, even ones that did not include bankruptcy. He was also very thorough when he went through the bankruptcy options. We had some unique circumstances that could have caused some difficulties with a bankruptcy. He took the time to explain exactly what that could mean for us. When I walked out of his office, I felt much more informed about our situation and all the options that were available to us. I also knew that I wanted Mr. Greenlee to help guide us through the difficult situation we were in. I highly recommend Mr. Greenlee. He helped calm our fears and walked us through everything.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Peter Greenlee is an outstanding bankruptcy attorney who was always looking out for us in resolving our financial deficits. He went the extra mile to ensure we understood everything we needed to do in filing our case. Through his efforts we were able to accomplish our goal with total relief of our... unpaid deficits. He also had us sign a form which protected our home mortgage. This man is a fantastic role model for other bankruptcy lawyers to emulate. We thank him immensely for being who he is: our lawyer and friend.

My personal review of Peter Greenlee by Cherie.

Mr Greenlee was recommended to me by a good friend who had hired him to do a bankruptcy for her . I went through one of the toughest times in my life with a bankruptcy mostly due to poor health. Mr. Greenlee was a lawyer who right away one could tell he was very professional and well experienced. ... With his personality and professional and personal touch I felt at ease and confident I wouldn't have to struggle or go through this alone . He made everything so smooth and easy for me to get through this bankruptcy. I can only hope that I wouldn't ever need legal advice again, but if i did I know I could completely trust him to get the job done for me with little to no pain on me. Having to do something completely out of my knowledge could have been extremely frightening to me, but he made every thing relaxed and I could easily see he sure new his stuff. I enjoyed working with him even though my personal life was very hard for me. I wish everyone could have a good experience like me
