What An Amazing Attorney Signed PamJE

When I realized my only way out was to file bankruptcy to be set free of all the financial traumas I had been experiencing. I could not have met a BETTER ATTORNEY THAN BRAD COVEY. I was so emotional and he listened to everything I said. He was patient and kind and he took time with me. He never i...nterrupted me while I was talking. Brad is an AMAZING MAN! He was personable, professional and really sympathetic and empathetic because of my situation. He guided me through this process and answered ALL my questions, and I had a lot of questions. He explained the process of these bankruptcy procedures, and because of my situation, the best bankruptcy for me was Chapter 13, so I was with Brad Covey three years, and everything went very well. I listened to everything he said and followed everything legally. Then I was less than 6 months left in my bankruptcy and Brad Covey suggested that I pay off my Chapter 13 and I was set free. Hiring Brad Covey was the BEST THING I EVER DID!! He also has the most Wonderful Legal Assistant Suzie, that answered questions and helped me through this process and led me to Brad when she did not have answers to my questions. Brad would call me back immediately, that is how he really cares. This is more than a job position, his heart is really in this work to see people set free. Things happen in life many times that are beyond our control, and we need to realize that Brad is a man that can help you be set free and begin a new life. I am now starting a New Life, because of all the excellent service from Brad and his Wonderful assistant Suzie. Brad and Suzie, you have been a God thing in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless you both as you continue to help people be set free with all your expertise!!

Excellent Service and Smooth Process

Brad and his team are awesome. They assisted me during a difficult time with a difficult decision. Unfortunately I had to file for chapter 13, but Brad and his team made it a smooth process. Everyone was compassionate and empathetic. They kept me updated on the process, never leaving me to worry.

Helpful through a difficult time

Brad and his Staff are an excellent group! I found Brad to be very detail oriented and thorough. It's a difficult situation but Brad Covey and his office manager Susan made the experience painless. Brad is supportive and takes time and attention to explain the process in Laymens terms which was most ...important to me. Susan was incredibly responsive to any and all inquiries. Brad's firm was recommended to me by a close friend who went through a Bankruptcy a decade earlier and I was not in any way disappointed. I would recommend Bradley Covey to anyone in need of valued advice and guidance through what can be a traumatic experience.

Top-notch Attorney and staff!

Filing bankruptcy is a very stressful time, and it is important to have an attorney and staff that is knowledgeable. I consulted two other bankruptcy attorneys prior to retaining Mr. Covey. The first attorney was extremely disorganized and unprofessional, and the second was significantly more expensi...ve. Brad was upfront and honest with me the entire process. He did a thorough review of my circumstances and finances. He also provided knowledgeable advice to other professionals involved during my divorce prior to filing bankruptcy. He and his staff (Susie) responded to all communications very professionally and quickly. I was easily able to schedule meetings with him around my work schedule. Brad did a great job and made a really tough time manageable. This was a time in my life when I was emotionally and financially distressed, and I would highly recommend Brad to anyone facing the same difficulties and needing someone to guide them.

Chapter 7

Brad Covey epitomizes professionalism and efficacy! My case was unusually complicated, however, he, along with his administrative staff were thorough, patient, easy to work with, and helpful. The decision to file bankruptcy was difficult and embarrassing. Brad put me at ease and helped me make the ri...ght decision. Additionally, there were no hidden fees, he has several locations that he works out of, and his assistant Susie is a Godsend! I STRONGLY encourage folks to avoid "bankruptcy mills" and go with Brad Covey. You will receive personal attention, consistency and one that will fight for his clientele.
