Incredible

I had issues while i was in my late teens/early 20's. I was not able to bounce out of my debt. I gave Stephen a call and explained my situation, paid my fee, sent my documents in, and that was it. We discussed chapter 7, but was unable to under certain circumstances. Stephen is very honest and ex...plained why chapter 13 was the route to take. I would recommend this lawyer to everyone who is considering bankruptcy. Simple yet effective. The weight has been lifted off my shoulders thanks to Stephen.

chapter 13 and chapter 7 case's

Steve was very responsive to my case and handled most all items in a timely matter. He converted a chpter 13 to a 7 for me and it seems that there are now a couple items that should of been updated and corrected. The mager item is there were leins on auto that were about 80-90% paid off and no lein r...elease was included in the chapter 7. I would recommend Steve and there staff all of the legal services that the offer.
